FTM-400XDR Searching doesn't work

Post by N4TAJ »

I am unable to search for rooms with my FTM-400XDR. No matter what search criteria I use, it always comes back with "No Data." If I click "All," I can see and scroll through all the rooms. This functionality works perfectly with my FT-3DR HT. Is there a setting I am missing to make this work? I've searched and I found one other thread on here with the same problem, but it looks like it was locked prior to resolution.

in the config page, set the YSF hosts to upper case, see if that helps you with the search (some radios seem to need it).

Thank you for the suggestion. Uppercase Hostfiles? Unfortunately, it's already enabled.

Is there any way to debug the connection? Can the pi-star log the commands/strings it sees from the radio? That would help me get to the bottom of this.

You could open a live log window from the admin page at the top right.

Thanks! I hadn't seen that option before now. I'll see if it shows anything interesting this weekend when I try it again.

I have the same issue with my '400 vs my ft3d. The ft3d also allows me to ADD to a category.
DTMF behaves differently, works for ft3d, not so much with '400.

Mine does this as well. I can't add a room to a favorite category. Also, I used the live logs feature and there does not appear to be anything interesting in there. It is not debug-level logs for sure. Is there a way to increase the logging level so that I can see the commands the radio is sending to the pi-star (and vice versa)?
