New to DSTAR - Links to Reflector but BER 13%
Posted: Sat Jul 13, 2019 4:59 pm
Hello,
I'm new to HAM radio in general but I had no issues setting up DMR and getting it to work flawless. I got a new HT and the next challenge is DSTAR.
I have a pi3+MMDVM module, I repurposed it to use it from DMR to DSTAR (since I could not figure it out how to make both work at the same time) - it's a duplex MMDVM module.
I can connect to the DSTAR network, usually I connect on the DSC030 default reflector. I can hear other people, not problem, but when I select to use the reflector (CQCQCQ) I can send my transmission but my BER is 13-15%.
Sometimes when transmitting with this high BER, the radio makes weird noises (like interference) and will not stop until I reboot the pi3.
Any ideas how to solve this? I tried different Reflectors and no success. I'm in the US West coast.
Thank you.
