[RF induction problem - Solved] Hotspot mode failing after 2/10/2020 updated
Re: Hotspot mode failing after 2/10/2020 updated
Hi, I have been running the 13 frame experimental firmware from Roger for about 9 hours without problem.
The RFI in the USB is a definite possibility. I'm using my GD-77 on the charger full time. When it's in transmit, you always see the charger light shift to yellow and flash - so it's a RF rich environment.
This time, I have the usb and power cables looped slightly in 10cm flat loops on the desk. The adapter cable connection USB to MicroUSB for the PiZeroW is inside the circle.
I'll look to see if I have any ferrite beads that I can wrap the USB to GD77 cable or USB adapter cable in.
Another possible difference between my setup and others is that I am using the CWID at 9 minute intervals.
Update: I've just ordered some ferrite filters to install on the USB cable.

Hi Marc,
Could you, next time you have the problem (before doing anything else), just login on your RPi, and do that:
rpi-rw
dmesg > /home/pi-star/dmesg.txt
rpi-ro
and send me that file ?
Cheers.

Okay. I'm using CWID too, 10 minutes rate.kd2lh wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 5:58 pmHi, I have been running the 13 frame experimental firmware from Roger for about 9 hours without problem.

Will do. I'll be loading the 2/21 version firmware shortly, and will gather the DMESG data should this fail.

The 2/21 version is dumping out within a couple of minutes of booting.
I've placed the DMESG files (two failures) here:

Re: Hotspot mode failing after 2/10/2020 updated
I really can't get it to fail... Listening TG91 whole day, including CQWW... Still holding strong.
Re: Hotspot mode failing after 2/10/2020 updated
Now we'll see if it dumps out of hotspot mode...
Re: Hotspot mode failing after 2/10/2020 updated
It looks like this to me.
No problems whatsoever.
Regards.

5 ++ power all the time
Nothing happens. Works great. I note that on the 2m band
Range around 15km
