Strange problem NXDN TG9999

Post by G1ZRN »

Hi all,

Don't know if this a pi-star or mmdvm problem but recently all of a sudden our repeater and my "hotspot" keep replying with "Not Linked" TG9999 as if we are transmitting TG9999 when we aren't.

We did use TG9 for "Local" and thought that might be the problem, but even after changing to TG1 for Local , for at least three of four transmissions from my Icom mobile and my Kenwood HT it still replies TG9999.

One of our users gets the reply every time he transmits.

The only time our repeater or my hotspot doesn't reply with TG9999 is when linked to a reflector , 31672 etc.

Any help appreciated.

Just in case others are having the same problem but haven't been able to find a fix.

I have created and added to our repeater a fictional Talk Group of 9 with a fictional IP address and locked it in the roots NXDN hosts file.

So now if we want to talk local we get the announcement "Linked to 9" and then silence afterwards.

It's actually turned out to be useful as we now know the repeater status when we transmit.

9999 is what the software uses as the group when the talking lady is doing her thing. It's only in effect until she shuts up.
