JumboSpot or Hotspot Pi-Star RF Power Level

Hotspot PI-STAR RF Power Level 

I have a mmdvm open spot and it has a hidden antenna built inside the box. It turned out I could use my HT with 0.5 W 200 meters away!

So I got inside the expert menu, and tuned down the "RFLevel" from 100 to 10. After the change, the communication is satisfactory in my apartment with reduced EMF.

Pi-Star NXDN is OFF Line

My Pi-Star shows Green [Mode Enabled] but Red under [Network Status]

Please wait for CODING CHANGES -  PISTAR and NXDN is under development March / April 2018

Pi-Star NXDN is OFF Line

RX NXDN but NO TX

I hear RX NXDN users but it doesn’t hear my transmissions.
Before I mess with RxOffset I think this is a issue that needs attention first.

ANSWER ::

Change the RxOffset setting adjust 

Updates and Changes to Jessie Pi-Star

Updates and Changes to Jessie Pi-Star

With the release of the Pi3 B+ there have been a number of changes to Stretch to support the new board, those changes have not (yet) propagated to Jessie (Pi-Star 3.x is based on Jessie).

However I know a number of you already have Pi 3B+ boards, so I have made a custom image to support these, the kernel is *not* upgradable on this image, please keep that in mind if you choose to use it.

Pi-Star v4.x is built on Stretch, it will support these boards better and apart from a passing resemblance to the current chain, its a very different animal - I hope this beta build will keep you going until we can get 4.x out of the door.

PI-STAR mobile Free Hotspots

PI-STAR mobile Free Hotspot

My solution for using pi-star at mobile FREE wifi mobile hotspots while travelling

Understood when travelling and maybe using free wifi to connect a hotspot.

Outlined is an example of how to transfer the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file with wifi setting onto a SDcard and moved to the hotspot device.  To activate that device on free wifi ie.coffee shop.

I have acquired a Jumbo Spot 17 board to try on Pi Star, there is a sticker on it saying RXOFFSET=500 TXOFFSET=500
P25 OFFSET=+200.

I have put the 500 offset in RX and TX in MMDVM Host in expert mode, but what is the P25 offset referring to ?

It doesn't say TX or RX, there is another RXD and TXD offset setting, does it refer to this I wonder.
