AMSAT D-Star talkgroups
I'm having trouble with the AMSAT D-Star reflectors. I can hear traffic with no difficulty, but I am not heard when I transmit. Other reflectors work fine (30C, 1C, 4B, etc). I've tried the various alternative reflectors that are hooked together (DCS, XLX, XRF systems using reflectors 28C, SAT, and SIN). When I transmit, the Pi-Star shows me getting into the hotspot and it shows the reflector connected. The gateway pages for the reflectors sometimes show me connected, sometimes they don't.
My hotspot is a RPi 3 running Pi-Star 4.1.2 with a DVMega board (firmware 3.26) -- both the newest versions I've tried accessing the hotspot with both my TH-D74A and Icom ID-51A I use the Pi-Star interface to change reflectors I can use the AMSAT reflectors from my Windows computer with an AMBE stick and BlueDV
If anyone has any insights as to why my transmissions aren't getting to the system I'd appreciate advice.

I only have experience with the D74a, after linking to the reflector, you have to tell the radio to use the reflector.
