I have Pi-Star running on a Jumbo Spot. Configured for DMR and I am connected to TG 91. I see activity on the OLED display, who is talking, a pic of the countries flag and call sign.

My Radio in my truck is a Yaesu FTM-400DR. I have a mem location with the simplex UHF Freq set to 446.600 mhz just like the Pi-Star config. I am hearing the radio at the same some as the activity showing up on the hot spot display, but it is not voice, sounds like a mechanical buzzing sound preceded by a beep. My mode is set to FM on that mem location.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Expecting a Yaesu System Fusion radio to decode digital packets that have DMR headers.. With the radio set to FM, you are hearing the raw modulation (think of the beeps/whistles that used to be heard from dial-up modems).

You probably need to configure Pi-Star for YSF2DMR (I think the cross-over modes are <radio>2<network>), and set the radio up for YSF (don't know if you need full-rate voice, or the mixed voice/data mode).

Thanks, Dennis. I am a newbie and trying to learn.

Of course there is always the possibility of just using YSF mode in Pi-Star, and giving up on DMR talk groups, instead selecting YSF "rooms" https://www.pistar.uk/ysf_reflectors.php (note that the numbers under the DMR2YSF are for users of DMR radios crossing to YSF).

I logged into the Hotspot, changed the Mode to YSF and set "Texas Nexus". Still no voice, just hear beep followed by static. I am about to give up.

Ensure your using DN mode as thats what most of the users of YSF reflectors are running with.

Yes Sir, I know it was set to FM.

Thanks,

OK, Now it is working with the Mode on radio set to DN..... I am just getting started with the digital stuff....

You can set it to auto mode, there should be a bar over the mode shown and this will then select the correct mode once it's had a few seconds to recognise what is being transmitted.
