Unusual P25 Behiviors
Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2022 5:47 pm
I'm new to P25, but this doesn't seem normal compared to other supported digital modes.
I have a P25 HT, and it is programmed appropriately with the repeater/hotspot and the correct C4FM Astro personality.
I have a hotspot, and access to a multi-mode repeater based on the STM32 hardware and pistar software. On both, I have experienced similar conditions and problems over the past week:
1) Even when not in use, the first call takes multiple tries to get in.
2) BER is all over the place, from perfect to not great, even with a strong signal (-43dbm)
3) There is often ridiculous packet loss coming back into pistar (80%+), even with excellent internet connections (hardwired 400Mbps)
4) Often I notice it can take up to 3 seconds for pistar to accept the call
5) none of these happen with DMR, D-Star or YSF on the same hardware
I have attached dashboard screenshots from both the repeater and my hotspot. Am I missing a setting, or is this normal P25?
