Hi all, i received my OpenSpot4 Friday 7/15 , and confirmed what my friends experienced when you cross mode from D-Star top DMR to someone using a Pi based hotspot or in most cases a OpenSpot3 the audio cuts out and becomes worse the longer the transmission continues until the audio totally disappears. This DOES NOT occur when in qso with someone using another OpenSpot4 or someone using a North West Digital thumb DV running Blue DV software. So far 6 of my friends have experienced this. Hopefully this can be addressed with a firmware upgrade and is not a hardware issue. It is my understanding this issue will be discussed this Friday 7/22 on the TGIF net starting at 8:30pm eastern. Anyone having the same issue please respond to this post.

Have you tried using a different DMR server/network? We've tested transmissions between the OS4 and OS3 on the BrandMeister Network and on a hblink server but did not experience any issues.

Norbert thanks for the reply. Have you tested the Openspot4 pro from d-Star to DMR listening on a Pi based hot spot. This is were the problem is. I am not the only one experiencing this. As I stated openspot4 pro to openspot4 pro cross mode from d-star to DMR works beautiful . Also to the thumb dv with blue dv works great. But not to Pi based hotspots. Thanks Ron

We don't have any MMDVM-based devices. Have you tried using a different DMR server/network?

The TGIF net scheduled for this evening 7/22/2022 is postponed due to the illness of the net control, the topic of this net was the OpenSpot4. I will update when a new date is announced.
