I had my DVMega firmware chip get corrupted once which gave similar results to what you're experiencing. I flashed firmware to another chip and installed the chip and it worked fine. Then I flashed the firmware back to the original chip and it worked as well. My setup isn't hacked for an upload from the Pi, so I had to use an Arduino board to program.

I also just had my SD card go bad on my DVMega hotspot recently. The card was old and been in service for quite a while. The way we're using SD cards is beyond their design. I run a Bitcoin/Lightning Network node on a Pi and to make that stable with all the read/writes I had to set it up to run from a hard drive. I also have a little Pi server that I set to work with a 100 GB thumb drive that has been pretty stable for quite a few years.

For most of the time pistar runs in a read only state, which goes some way to mitigating this.

Remember the dvmega doesn't use mmdvm firmware so it won't have compatibility for use with pistar-cal (mmdvm-cal)

While there may be some baseline, the optimum values depend upon both the board and the radio one is using to contact it.

And if it helps... My dual-band (running on 70cm -- the offset might also be sensitive to the frequency in use) is using offsets of: 0 and 0 respectively
