I can connect to my station while on my internal network. but if I go away like downtown Clarksville TN my radio is ON but on my phone I only see the Demo Radio.. I'm on orders to go to new duty station in Korea in Aug. 
My current station is.
FLEX 6600 3.1.12
FLEX PG-XL 3.4.10
Current Network is AT&T Uverse 

My plans are to get get a laptop put SmartSDR on it and get back to my radio I need step by step procedures to see what I'm doing wrong.My though process is it's on my network.

    I want to check on 2 things.
    • You did do the PTT registration on your radio?
    • Do or did you get a Green light when you did a port foward check as part of the initial setup?
    Sorry if I missed it if you have already answered those questions.

    As Howard mentioned, make sure you have a way to remotely reboot things in case you need to, including the radio and your modem/router.

    Let us know, Mike

    I initially started with the Wemo but they were sensitive to RFI and l ended up needing so many switches that the 2 only 8 port Digital Loggers were cheaper.   You need to be able to reboot everything.  Every modem, router, radio switch, etc etc

    I use some web based smart plugs here to turn on tuners, Remote On for Flex radios, power up the PGXL through a 30a relay and power some fans. Some of those plugs get a little iffy when the ISP goes up/down and they lose WiFi connection. I agree with Howard on using something a little more reliable in Jim's circumstances to reboot and control. I would also suggest an old windows or Linux PC at the station to be used as a local access PC on the local LAN. Use TeamViewer or AnyDesk to access it. You never know when you will need to update firmware or ping something or just undo any changes AT&T decide to send down to the modem/router.

    Hi Jim,

    I have heard of people having issues with Uverse in parts of the country. If the ISP (AT&T) is doing double NAT'ing then unless you get the right person at AT&T SmartLink probably will not work.

    If you need help with port forwarding get hold of me via email and I'll help out.
