Yesterday I received my DV mega globetrotter. The package was pretty beat up, but the device looked intact. My initial concerns were that the buttons were somewhat unresponsive requiring multiple presses before they would respond. I did get it set up on my home network. YSF and D star are both excellent for sending and receiving with 59 signal reports. ON Brand Meister DMR my reception is excellent however, when I attempt to transmit, I get reports of being over driven with a great deal of clipping I spent yesterday adjusting the DMR input and gain settings. Lowering the gain decreased the volume, but did not correct the problem. When I set my pie star dashboard on TG 91, I could see that my packet loss was 49 to 50%. This is what was reported to me by people I tried to contact with. I have an ASUS ZEN Wi-Fi six mesh network. The two nodes are connected with an ethernet backhaul. I have set a static IP address. I have opened UDP port 2460. I have set up a guest network for 2.4 giga hertz with legacy connections. With the help of Gemini AI, I’ve modified every setting conceivable within the router. Even with the globetrotter of being the only device connected to the guest network, I still have that loss. Changing BrandMeister master servers made no difference. Crrently I’m on 3104 with a ping of 29. The parrot talk group confirms what other people are reporting. The response is choppy and very often extremely slow. It honestly sounds as if I’ve had a stroke. I have obtained an RMA number in case the device actually is defective but if anyone can give me suggestions to try, I would appreciate it before sending this back. If I can get DMR to transmit properly, I will keep the unit. Honestly, if this was an MMDVM board, I would be playing with the transmit and receive offsets. Thanking you in advance Joel AC8WS
I forgot to mention that vu meter is pegged to the top of the red on transmit and receive. Occasionally, while monitoring the network, I see other people are just barely into the red. Most times on their reception I am seeing the meter also at the top of the red.Otherwise, I would’ve said this was strictly cosmetic, indicating transmission and reception of packets. I’ve checked within the android phone for any settings to decrease the microphone gain but again it only appears to be a problem on DMR transit.
