Two issues with NXDN operation

Post by ke8owx »

I have found two issues I would like to find a resolve for.

1) In NXDN mode, a linked reflector seems to time out and become dropped at some point. I know DMR drops after 15 minutes, except for static talkgroups, but since NXDN only supports 1 at a time, I assumed it would stay connected. After it is dropped, and no longer shows on the right hand side (shows Not Connected), I can key the hardware again, but it doesn't reconnect. I have to either use the disconnect, or connect to a different reflector before going back. I did look through the expert settings, but didn't see anything obvious that I should be looking for. Any way to easily change this? On a related note, YSF & D-Star remain connected all the time until told to disconnect.

2) I am uncertain if this is my radio's programming, or if its not being passed through the PiStar hardware, but I do not get any IDs showing on my display for traffic being received on my NX-5300. Same radio, same hardware, IDs show up in P25 and DMR modes. Has this been observed by anyone else?

Item 2 has been resolved, was an odd setting in the radio itself.
