Re: Can listen but not talk out

I have a early generation Icom IC-92AD that has given me the same results of not being able to talk on any Reflectors or being able to link to any D-Star Repeaters. After lots of setting changes in both my ZumSpot that sits on top of a Pi 3B+ I now have it working on DMR, D-STAR, and YSF.
First, the ZumSpot sitting on top of a Pi 3B+ I had to load the Beta 4.x firmware, upgrade the ZumBoard to the lastest and when setting up the Pi-Star software, understand that it WILL let you select wrong settings in some areas of the config. For example, the ZumSpot is a Simplex Board but you can set it up as a Duplex board. Wrong! but one of many mistakes I made trying to hear and/or talk over D-Star.
Ok, with that said, you may want to check the following settings: Must be set to Simplex, and dont forget to click Apply before moving onto the next section. Under D-Star Config: make sure Use DPlus for XRF: is OFF. In my case with the Icom IC-92AD with this setting on, I was able to connect to Reflectors only, Repeaters no. Once I got the correct settings in my 92AD I was able to talk and communicate on any connected Reflector....but could not link to any Repeaters, till that one setting was turned OFF.
My Icom required the following Memory channels setup as follows, for each Repeater I created 3 records: MY CALL IS AA3JC and for this example trying to connect to the K3PDR-B module. (*=space)
RX Freq TX Freq Offset Freq Offset Op Mode Your Callsign RPT-1 RPT-2
440.5000 440.5000 0 or "Blank" +Dup or -Dup DV K3PDR*BL AA3JC**B AA3JC**G
440.5000 440.5000 0 or "Blank" +Dup or -Dup DV CQCQCQ AA3JC**B AA3JC**G
440.5000 440.5000 0 or "Blank" +Dup or -Dup DV *******U AA3JC**B AA3JC**G
Reason for 3 memory channels is for my convience in linking/changing relectors or repeaters. For Reflectors it is exactly the same but substitute Your Callsign with the reflector name as in this example: REF021EL This will link to that reflector, and once your radio issues the link to voice or message then switch to the CQCQCQ
hope this helps

I have exactly the same problem on my Icom IC-7100 and Zumspot.
I hear the announcements when someone keys up, I hear people calling, but my keying up does nothing, nobody seems to hear me, Unlink and Echo commands do not seem to have any effect.
Also, my Zumspot does not show anything when I key up.
I used to be able to have QSOs on D-Star not so long ago.
I will also attach screenshots.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help.

In the radio.
UR field needs to read CQCQCQ or use reflector or use repeater.
Positive or negative rptr shift set, even if its a simplex hotspot set the split offset value to 0.00

No this is just the boot sequence.
There is one point ill take a furthur look at
But what were interested in is why it doesnt hear your keyups so Allow the reported list to settle, then keyup your radio as you are going to tx into the hotspot.
Thats the bit that would be most informative. Capture what the log outputs when you keyup ur radio.

Two things...
Make sure the 7100 is on its LOWEST power setting if you are anywhere near the hotspot (even 1W is a massive hit -- my HTs are set for <1W and the 5100 is in the rust-bucket while the hotspot is inside my faraday cage of a house [metal roof, metal siding] over 30 feet away).
Second -- I don't know for certain but that "invalid access from <nothing>" text has me perplexed... You do have your call sign configured in the 7100 for D-STAR settings?

Hi again, folks.
I have switched my power to 1 Watt.
Something strikes me:
Radio Info on my Dashboard switches from "Listening D-Star" to "TX D-Star" written on a red field.
I seem to be connected to REF030 C, but on DPlus, is that right???????
I will send through some more log files later, in the mean time, I attach a screenshot of the dasboard.
Thank you in advance.
