Well I just couldn't leave it alone so I turned it back on and am trying to troubleshoot.
It is dropping in and out of the D-Star server. I get both the audio and visual message to that effect "Openspot disconnected."
In reading the manual, this appears to be the issue I am up against:
_**"Some connectors have a Keepalive interval setting. This means the server requires the openSPOT4 to periodically send keepalive messages to the server. The RX timeout setting specifies the time after the last received valid network packet needed for the openSPOT4 to consider the connection is dead and it should reconnect. If the openSPOT4 frequently disconnects from the server, try increasing the RX timeout.
If a connector has both the Keepalive interval and RX timeout settings, then make sure the RX timeout is set to a greater value than the *Keepalive interval.
The Connect retry interval sets the delay between server connect retries."**
So, in looking at both the RX timeout and Connect retry interval settings on the D-Star connector settings, I noted that they were 30 seconds (RX timeout) and 1 second (Connect retry interval. In trying to change them, I am having a hard time getting the RX timeout setting change to actually "Save" at the same number I have set it to (it saves at a much lower number, which is usually 44 seconds). I successfully changed the Connect retry interval to 30 seconds.
Am I on the right track here?
Thanks,
Mike
