Two Time Slots

Post by ki7tfn »

Is it possible to configure a Lonestar Duplex Hat on Pi-Star to operate in simplex mode yet enable both Time Slots? I am attempting to use a cross band repeater radio (D578) Analog to Digital, and the instructions say that the Digital side of the crossband has to be a simplex frequency. I like to use TGIF and DMR2YSF through the DMR GW and two timeslots keeps one from commandeering the other. Using simplex and one TS, I would have to disconnect from one before using the other.

No, a Simplex hotspot can only run one timeslot.

And I don't think you can run that hat in duplex and use the same TX and RX freq.
Thank you for the response. I found the instructions in the manual to not be accurate. On the radio, DMR Mode>Simplex will not talk to my hotspot configured for duplex, the radio must be set to DMR Mode>Repeater.
