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.
