Given that you can't remove two of the auto-static talkgroups, I'm going to guess that something is messed up with your BrandMeister account. You might want to contact the BrandMeister team in your country to see if they can help.

I carried out the 'to do' list,I tried removing ALL T.G. but two TG93 TG83 Refuse to be shifted, I have set passwords as suggested, altered passw1rd to passw0rd did API.
The first live log shows BM closed to me but the second seems to have let it thro ?
I can see my ptt coming thro but still no transmission back, i double checked my HT Settings they are o.k.
I had more screen shots but was only allowed to post these ?[attachment=2]CaptureNOV3.JPGCaptureNOV5.JPG[attachment=1]CaptureNOV4.JPG
Any ideas? do you need more shots

I'd be concerned about those active/default reflector fields. http://mrickey.com/2018/02/using-dmr-re ... ndmeister/

US Brandmeister has disabled all reflector usage, hotspot or repeater. I also don't believe they are of use on a personal hotspot outside of the US -- all reflectors have a dedicated talkgroup, and many radios have enough channels to configure a channel for each desired talkgroup. Easy to just switch channel to change to a different (pre-configured) talkgroup.

European (or UK, at least) repeaters use the reflector scheme so that everyone can access them using just TG9 (local) by dialing up a private call to ID the desired reflector.

I have no idea what happens if one is using a "real" (non-local) talkgroup and also specified a reflector to be active.

I thought about that, too, but he is in the U.K., where reflectors are still allowed, and isn't using US servers (AFAIK, only BrandMeister USA has disallowed their use). Also, his screenshots show that he isn't actively connected to a reflector.

Since he can't remove two of the talkgroups in his static list, I'm wondering whether the static talkgroup list in his BrandMeister account got corrupted.

Hi
Many thanks for your interest in my problem, I also couldn't work out why I couldn't erase the two remaining TG's
You suggest my data on BM could be corrupt?
Where to next. ???
I have tried allsorts of combinations for the refs , but have no luck could this corruption be causing the problem ?
You said to change my setting and not use dmr gateway, fine, I tried that with no luck again
If only I could find a basic set up with the reflectors e.g. Which reflector to set up I could at least prove one way or the other my system is operational.
I've invested in a new hotspot ( even if DMR can't be used I can use it as a spare).
Again thanks guys for both your interest and much appreciated suggestions

Hi
Thanks for the info, will follow it up.
I’ve just used my iPad to log into BrandMeister and it shows I have NO static talk groups ?
Yet on my Windows 10 pc it shows TG92 and 83 ?
Just as I thought things couldn’t get any worse.... :shock:

In that case, you might want to start over with a fresh Pi-Star image.

Try swapping to either the Ireland or Danish master.
UK master is giving problems for some users.
