Re: Voice vs. CW

Hi Paul, I was able to power cycle my Allstar 10 times and out of those 10 reboots I was able to connect to my iPhone twice. This is sad?but normal for the new IOS. Apple made changes to the network?driver to support the new watches and airpods that has caused issues for ham radio. If you check the ham?forums?this problem is widespread.

When you do get a good connection the raspberry PI connects?/ disconnects / reconnects so allstar does not always read the IP aloud.

Things to check...
No special characters?in the SSID (Cell phone name) or Password - make sure you use only letters and numbers!?
Make sure your cell phone is not named "Paul's iPhone" or "Paul's" as this will not?work in Linux

There are a few things to make the connection percentage go up.
Make sure you're on the hotspot screen
Make sure your phone is not connected to another wifi source
?

This problem is not limited to raspberry PI however they seem to have a bigger issue then other devices. If you have a TP-Link travel router, try programming that to log into your phone and plug that into your PI ethernet.

My club is using over 200 PI-STAR devices and those users with IOS devices had to abandon the idea of connecting via the iphone and went to cell hotspot until Apple fixes the issue.?

Darrell,?

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the help.?

I have tried 2 different iPhones and 1 Android (LG) smart phone...as well as 2 separate?home WiFi networks.?

The results - neither of the iPhones would connect to my SHARI. Doing a simple power restart of the SHARI concurred?that no IP address was spoken from the SHARI while on the iPhones. This is very different than the Android and home WiFi networks.?

I understand how to turn on/off the iPhone hotspots but the iPhone no longer allows a visual indication (with an IP address) that the SHARI is connected.?

Basically, I want to connect the SHARI (RPi) to my iPhone.?

Paul, I assume you want to have your raspberry PI login so you can use your allstar node portable?

First use option 7 and setup both your home and iphone wireless settings

When you leave the house you will most likely have to cycle power for the PI to look for the next?available?WIFI.?

The biggest?issue now is the new ISO will not send a SSID unless your on the hotspot screen (the one where you turn the hotspot on/off).

Steps:
Turn on the hotspot in ISO - leave on hotspot screen
Within 10 seconds turn on PI
This should now connect - see green oval at top
Once connected you can leave hotspot screen
