Since making that post, I updated to the latest firmware and software. Since then, it appears I'm not being heard on Nationwide. I can still monitor and hear everyone else talking, but it seems I'm not being heard. I can't recall if I got the same SYNC Missing errors.

Maybe those of us with DV4 Minis should set up a time in the next day or so to get on and voice check each other.

I upped to 1.64 myself & have the same issues of not being heard. Any idea what the proper 'last heard' list on the net we should be using?

FWIW, I'm at -210 on the adjustment & am staying in the yellow zone on the error scale. I assume you want that bar as low as it can be (I'm red/green color blind!)?

I just readjusted tonight to -100 and I'm staying 50/50 green/yellow. Still not being heard. I am hearing others. If I key up AND get in, should I show up on the xREFLECTOR live view?

I'm back on 1.64 on my Pi and it is working now for me. I'm using a +260 (I believe) and it's keeping me mostly in the lower levels of yellow.

That's one of the 'Last heard' lists that should work, the other is at http://xreflector.net/neu3/, and then click on 'Hytera Live' on the left side...

Pardon my ignorance, but where is the colour bar that is suppose to be changing from red/yellow/green? Is this the bar that shows up when someone transmits? Mine has always been red.

Thanks for any and all help!

The advanced tab and it only shows up when it is receiving your transmission

Also, you need to be running at least the beta 1.64 version, or the PC new one that just came out yesterday. The 1.61 version does not have that feature.

I received my dv4mini on Saturday, and was up and running that afternoon. I was in the C4FM Fusion side without any issues, and had some great QSOs. DMR, on the other hand wasn't working for me on Saturday. There was some talk on the Fusion side that the xReflector site was having issues Saturday. On Sunday, I was in DMR and did great, talked to a ham north of Hamburg Germany, then one in NY state, and another in California. Fusion was in and out for me, and I couldn't see any of the logged in calls in the dashboard.

DV4 MINI on D-Star?

Hi,
Anyone try to get this thing to work on D-Star? Works o.k. on DMR, just can't get it to work on D-Plus reflectors. Have the DVAP set up and it hears everything while DV4 MINI sits quietly, hearing nothing. When I transmit people hear me on the reflector-Just can't receive anything. Have V1.64.fw2 installed.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Known issue, though apparently not happening consistently.

Does the log show every PTT key up or when you initially connect to the reflector? In either case, I'm not seeing myself. :(

EDIT: I switched to Master-USA-NE-VA and now i'm showing up. I'm hoping NE is New England and VA is Virginia. Not sure. Seems like an unlikely combo.

Every PTT, and every new reflector login.

That master listed as NE-VA means Northeast Virginia. Home to some massive server farms & a ton of bandwidth. My personal websites are on a server down there. Nice to have friends that host me on a static IP for free... ;)

Ah, good to know. I'm in Virginia so I guess I need to switch back to that server and see if it works better for me. I'm going to edit my host file tonight so I can add the Brandmeister network to my reflector list. Looks like everything is eventually migrating over to that.

Hi all,
On the P25 side of things, does anyone actually use it?
I never hear a thing out of it and its a main reason why i brought it. It seems the Pi Star connects to more relevant reflectors?
Cheers
Matt
