Ipad Pro 4G losing audio after a few minutes use.

Hi folks,

I am having an issue with my Ipad Pro when using a 4G internet connection while out and about.

After a few minutes use, could be 1min or 3min I lose audio and the scope stops working. SmartSDR is still connected in so far as I can still PTT, still use the ATU etc. but nothing else. I cannot change bands, well maybe the radio is responding at home nut nothing shows up on the Ipad. To get it working again I need to disconnect and then reconnect. Works fine again for a few mins and rinse and repeat. Under settings I do have Prevent Device Sleep set to ON as well.

I have all settings set to LOW in SmartSDR and the net connection is set to a SLOW connection (tried fast too) Generally the 4g connection gives me more than 50Mbs down and +40Mbs up. Home internet is a cable connection with 115Mbs down and around 3mbs up (maybe a bottleneck ?) but I 'assume' that 3Mbs up would be more than enough. Remotehams runs without a problem on my IC7300 & FT991 and runs the radios, amp & rotator with zero glitches. Maybe I will have to start using it again. But, I have a fair whack of coin invested in the 6400M, Ipad Pro (bought soley to use SmartSDR) and I would love to get it working properly.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Cheers & 73

Tim, VK6EI.

    Hi Tim, I also had a similar problem about 6 months ago with Telstra 4G freezing after precisely 2 minues with ssdr for iOS on my 6700. The problem was caused by Telstra rejecting the form of streaming being used.by Flex. The solution was to use a commercial VPN. I used Nord VPN, but there are many others.

    Your problem may be different, but this worked for me

    Good luck

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
