DV4MINI Reveiw

I have owned 2 DV4MINI and found then to be something that could not be used at my Home.

I had many problems with Locking up for no reason, or Looking for DV4MINI stick and not found, or Looking for CCS7 and repeat over and over again and stop working( yet was told this had nothing to do with the DV4MINI stick). I have a disconnect sent from where I do not know them disconnect, would lock up in transmit mode for no reason or show call sign of a ham yet was other ham in the net talking and other Issues.

I could not keep the DV4MINI running over 3 to 8 hour with out having to reset and reboot.

I was told was my computer I have 3 laptops and 4 raspberry Pi the one laptop was Toshiba with 16gb memory, SSD drive and my net was cat 5 from router to computer with Net speed of 100mbps down load 10 up..

I spend over $600 trying to make Raspberry Pi 2 or 3 or Windows 7 or 8 or 10 to work and still lockup and issues. I spent over 650 hours trying to make work. I was in there help ask other hams and in groups and still did not work.


With what i spend in Money for new modem new router new mini computer ( was told they used this and worked so buy ,,,them told this computer was not stable to use for DV4MINI) new powered USB hub new usb cables new sd cards for Raspberry Pi put toroid coils on everything Power cord USB cord HTMI cord and other thing I could have paid for 4 DVhome.


I did send many many Email to wireless Holdings and allot was never answered. I sent screen shot of my problems and nothing. some of the time was told what happened had nothing to do with the DV4MINI yet it stopped it from working for me


One Post on there Face book page said Keep trying you find the answer. Also was told no one else had the problems i did or Complained.

They sent me a Free DV4MINI thinking mine was bad still did not work.

I send 2 DV4MINI back for refund Only refund for 1 and I keep the Free one .

So I am out not having something they said every one else is using and then said was no one complain of issues LOL

  2. Exact same problem with my dv4mini. It will work for a few hours on a windows pc, tried several. I can get it to work for 2 or 3 days using a Pi3 with western dstar though. Still it ultimately will freeze up and stop responding. Reboot fixes it every time. I borrowed a dvmega which I used on the same Pi3 and it worked flawlessly for the entire 2 weeks I had it.

    I love this little hotspot and really hope they can fix the reliability issues.
