Lonestar: An issue or setup changes needed?

Post by OZ1HMN »

Hi
I have a RPi3B+ with a Chinese Jumbospot and Nextion 2.4 (USB) display. Working fairly well.
Just received a Lonestar simplex board. Replaced the Combo with the Lonestar, and set RX/TX offset to 0 (as on the box).
The setup receives the data from wifi and displays it correctly, but I have no signal on my radio, and no reaction in the display when I key my radio.
If it swap my Jumbo in again, everything works fine.

Do I need to do some setup changes, or is there a potential issue with this board?
Have rebooted, update/upgrade but still doesn't work.

Thanks. No I'm in the 433 range.
Tried the CAL procedure, but no signal at all. Tried with another DMR radio, but same result.
So module must be defect I guess.

Everything indicates that it is working. Only thing that is not working is RF rx/tx.

Have been debugging it with the board developer (which is very helpful).
Have x-tested with two radios, a RPi3 and RPiZ, and Jumbo mmdvm board.
Might have died during transportation.
