I have a DMR simplex hotspot with a 3.2" screen running Pi-Star. When I transmit on my HT, my location is shown as Guantanamo Bay on the hotspot. I have the correct coordinates and grid square in Pi-Star and my location is correct in the Brandmiester self-care. When the hotspot receives, the correct location information for the caller is shown.

This doesn't affect my ability to use the hotspot, but I would like to have the correct information broadcast. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this?

The KG4 prefix can be USA or Guantanamo Bay. I think three letter suffixes are USA, and 2 letter suffixes are Guantanamo Bay. Guess it needs to be updated in the callsign database.

Out of range
I thought it is tied to radioid number assigned. I have changed my location there, then it is up to the other user to keep their contacts csv up-to-date.

Did you ever have GTMO as location on radioid?

No, I have not had my digital id long and it has always shown the correct location information.
