    Was up with it all night trying to get through. Trying to get into brandmeister just isn't working. I can get into the Pi-star images as the dashboard is showing my tx recieved, but nothing back from any TG or reflector.

    The odd part is that when I change the dmr master over to DMR+ , I can get into their TGs no issue confirmed by the Parrot. I'm at a loss.

    If you link to TAC310 do you see your call sign show up on the Hoseline? http://hose.brandmeister.network/group/310/
    That will let you know you're hitting it. If so, you may need to add TG2 (local) to the codeplug. Pi-Star broadcasts brandmeister on TG2 to your radio.

    Edit: well I just re-read, and I'm not sure what the deal is. Sometimes 3301 or 3302 have issues. Try 3308 or something else for the server.

    I've got ts1 tg2, set up for promiscuous mode. Zero shift ( no shift on mine. Have tried it both ways with adj shift on Pi-star) . I've got into the Pi-star. It's just not going into BM from there

    Your Pi-Star pic clearly shows TS1 disabled and TS2 enabled. That doesn't coincide with the TS1 TG2 you mention. BTW...YES! Getting Pi-Star working 100% in all modes is a PITA!

    TG8 Ref 4470 What is that? I'm unfamiliar. This is my current, and it's working on TAC310 TG310.

    I'm assuming that you have registered a DMR ID at https://www.radioid.net/register#!

    Sorry, don't know where you're coming from. I don't wish to offend. Just grasping at straws here.

    The XLX master gets turned on when I want to get to the "Constellation" of reflectors. Otherwise turned of for Brandmeister.

    Yup. And no problem. I've got about 8 hrs into it and I'm almost ready to bring it back.

    Checked numbers, tried different master's. Checked the contacts , ts, tg, cc, changed frequencies, rebooted, added an offset and took it back, tried other dmr systems (got into dmr+ parrot), public vs private, ID with and without an 01 at the end.....

    I'm at a loss.
