DV-Mega not sending any Pogsac signal

Post by pd5r » Mon Jul 09, 2018 9:27 pm

Hi,

I have Pogsac running on my Pi-Star. I entered my Callsign and Auth Key I received from Dapnet and I can see on my Oled that Pogsac messages are coming trough.
But, my DV-Mega is not sending any signal. I have set the frequency to 439.987.500 for Pogsac and left it running for Hotspot use on 144.987.500
And yes, it's a Dual-band DV-Mega. I asume this must work.

The Hotspot part does work fine, but on Pogsac nothing is send out.

Tried Pogsac on 2 meters, but also nothing is send out.

The DV-Mega doesn't support POCSAG (yet?).

Only the MMDVM_HS hat with current firmware support POCSAG AFAICT.

I'm pretty sure the ZUMspot does, too, based on this:

Both my ZUMspot and my MMDVM_HS Hat updated to firmware version 1.4.1 this morning.

Thanks, please keep on topic, as people looking for DV-Mega related info in a thread dedicated to DV-Mega might get confused by unrelated info.

Guus hasn't said anything about POCSAG on his website (http://www.dvmega.auria.nl) nor on his Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/GuusvanDooren), and there has not been a recent DVMEGA firmware update released (the ZUMspot/MMDVM_HS boards required a firmware update for POCSAG), so I'm guessing not, at least not yet.

Exactly - not sure POCSAG is on Guus' radar just yet.
