What has happened in the past 2 months?

Post by KC4WAG »

I have a Raspberry Pi Nano style hotspot with Pi-Star loaded. I was using it about two months ago and everything seemed fine. Yesterday, I plugged it in and keyed up the mic on my TYT radio and tried listening to the Worldwide channel which I believe is 91. I brought up the pi-star menu on my computer and could see everytime I keyed the mic but could hear absolutely nothing. What has happened between two months ago and now? I have not changed any settings and everything seems to be working fine, I just can't get any traffic on the hotspot. Any ideas?

Thanks for that info. I put in my password which I used on the Brandmeister webpage as described in the link you gave me but I still don't get any traffic. It sees me transmitting out but I can hear no traffic. I have not made any changes to the setup and it worked for several years. Now just nothing. It makes sense if they have instituted a password but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

If anyone else has any suggestions, I am open to try anything.
