When I boot up Pi-Star the Mode Enable and Network status lights both go green after a few seconds go back to red and of course the Hotspot does not work is there a setting on the GD-77 that I have missed ? HELP
Thank you in advance

Did you hold down the black button (below PTT) on the side of the radio when powering on? Release after the opening CW
