FTM-400XD and YSF2DMR - Talkgroup Selection

Post by K1NRG »

Just getting back into HAM after a bit of hiatus and decided to take a deep dive into digital. I picked up a BTech DRM-6x2 HT for DRM and the FTM-400XD for YSF. Got a PiStar Duplex Hotspot and set it up in duplex mode - worked great with the DRM radio and setup was quick and painless. YSF was a different story - the 400XD would either not show up when transmitting or would show up with >10% BER and wouldn't go into Wires-X mode. Reset PiStar to simplex and everything started working as it should.

400XD starts with default TG set in PiStar. This can be changed by pressing the # key on the mike and entering a different TG number then the # again. You can also pre-load the TGs using the App and placing them in a category called 'DMR TGs' (or whatever you wish to call it) - just enter the number in the ID and give it a name.

The one thing the 400XD won't do is add a recently selected TG to a category like you can with Wires-X. You can search and select a TG but it doesn't go to the Info page automatically (with Add button at bottom) it just sits there blinking and you must press Back to get out of the search page.

Just glad it works at all (Yahoo tech support swears their digitals don't work with Hotspots just Wires-X (not).

So, three ways to change TGs: 1. select from pre-configured favorite (in category), 2. enter with # key on mike, 3. Search and select
