I have an issue with all of my pistar hotspots and both anytone 787uv ht’s on Dmr, one of which is a version 2.
I was having constant repeater not found issues until I upgraded the cw on each radio.

I have no problem now - they’re operating normally with good BER except for:

1. Cannot get audio acknowledgment from parrot, despite pistar dashboard registering the key up, and
2. I get the repeater not found message when I attempt to do the calibration on the configuration menu. At this point, any attempt to select a talkgroup results in the repeater not found error until mmdvm reboot.

A repeater not found error occurs only while using a repeater or a duplex hotspot.

Do you have a simplex hotspot or a duplex hotspot?

If you have a simplex hotspot, you need to edit your codeplug and change the repeater setting to simplex.

did you mean that you upgraded the FW? not sure what CW is other than continous wave.

I have both simplex and duplex, both with the same 2 problems. Their basic configs are correctly set - I can use them normally except for the 2 issues mentioned.

I do not have experience with a duplex hotspot, but for the Parrot issue, verify that you have it programmed in your radio for Private Call.
