I thought you must pick a reflector first? and if want to change unlink then link to the new one....then pick use reflector to get to CQCQCQ.....A quick run thru if I am correct would be appreciated?
I tried to set up my ID-52A, but can't make a call using Pi-Star on 30C! I can receive everyone on 30C, but can't make contact! My Pi-Star dashboard shows no local activity. Any ideas as to what I might be missing?
I am about ready to return this 52. It is my third Dstar. I have a 31 and a 74 and have no trouble working station on my open spot 2. I watched your setup and seem to have mine set but no stations can hear me. I can turn on the other two and make the contact. Their is no audio going out. I can do an echo test and no problem. The open spot confirms the connection both on connect and disconnect. Any ideas?
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones I guess so, type is set up a DV Repeater. I can change reflectors, And now it won't go to DR mode. Says it can't find a repeater but I have the repeater in it.
I m ready to return mine also. Im on my 4th week on it and haven't heard anyone, or passed an echo test. Not sure I want to purchase a hotspot to have that not work.
@@tony2wheelz408 Tony, I got mine to work. What is not clear in this video is that you have to put your call sign in in two places. This is not shown here but shown in other you tubes. I don't remember the other place but I know my call sign was missing in one of the places. With that in, everything works fine.
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones no more drivers, Im afraid I don't have the knowledge base you think I do. I am d star confused. I really need help and im afraid im just starting to loose interest and feel its becoming a waste of time. Please produce an explanation video.
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones thank you for all you help. You have really tried. I made a contact and just a little conversation and I totally understood it and now how to do it.
Hi Andreas, I've just bought a ID52 and its great| In your video, you mention a PC program sounding like 'Dusi'/ Could you give me more details so I can download too. Thanks, 73 Jeremy M0HWP
Greetings from Arizona. 1st time watcher here -THX for ur Video.

Andreas, How DID u get MEMORY on the MENU in place of SCOPE - And did u get the GPS Info Below the Dstar windows? 73s man - THX
again one of the best ham YT channels out there. Thank you for your efforts!
Hi thanks loads I really enjoy learning with you.
question, my hot spot is on it shows that is wireless but I can't find hotspot on my radio, what could be wrong?
Your radio needs to have the same frequency as the frequency entered in to the hotspot using pi- star the radio must be simplex dv mode .
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones thank you
My Pi-Star wont link to any reflector. What might be the problem ? Do I need to register anywhere to the D-Star network? Thx
Yes register Dstar also to set up a channel you set a zero shift .

Hi send me pics to M0FXB@hotmail.com
make sure you are in 'use reflector ,@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones
Why is the location arrow pointing every which way? One is in the UK, the other in USA, it should be only pointing in one direction!
No idea

I had no idea that the Icom id 52a was comeplety useless as a d star radio without a hotspot. Why don't they tell you this when you buy the radio?
Do you habe a dstar repeater near you? Also try this program its free no hotspot needed. :th-cam.com/video/arymvor1Cko/w-d-xo.html
