dv-mega not connecting to d-star network

Post by wf2z »

I'm setting up a dv-mega running pi-star and a kenwood D74 radio. Pi-star seems to be up and running. Radio seems to be programmed correctly. I know the mega is hearing the radio but no reception, no transmit out to the internet even though on the pi-star config page wifi is up and running. On the admin page it says link down. The radio tells me I am connected to the reflector, but on the bottom right of the D74 I get a red X when I transmit. Seems something is preventing the tx and rx from coming through the mega. I have tryed many different configs in both the radio and pi-star. I programmed the radio using the kenwood mcp d74 software. Have the off set in, 0.000- and rpt1 rpt2 setup with C and G in the eighth spot. Help/WF2ZMatt

That red x could indicate an issue with your D-STAR registration. Is it possible you registered twice? You might need to contact

Thanks for your input. I can only recall registering once, years ago. When I use the radio in range of a repeater all works fine. I checked my reg. and it is showing on d-star info.

KE0FHS Toshen, Want to thank you for your help. My reg. is definitely out of wack,lol. How would I go about getting it corrected or can I just reregister?
