Cant TX to hotspot

Post by ki4ehn »

I a new to hot spots and have a simple (maybe) question.

I have my hot spot setup and connecting to BM and can add a static talk group from the BM portal and the UV 380 receives he talk group, but when I remove the talk group and try to dynamically link the hotspot the radio gives me a busy tone.

I have double check RX/TX freq for the duplex hotspot and triple check the color code between the radio and the hotspot.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

And how is the rest of the channel configuration set up?

You require a channel for each talk group you wish to use -- those channels will be identical except for the channel name, and the contact (talk group).

I have posted screen shots of my channel setup, digital contact, and pi-star settings. I know it will be something simple I am missing but I cant see it

Sorry to double post, but I have set the hotspot to public and still have the same issues.

I'm slightly intrigued that "QT Reverse" (down in the ANALOG channel section) is not ghosted out as the other Analog settings are...

If that is active in both DMR and analog modes, you might try picking other choices in it... You might also try other values for "Admit Criteria".
