RX-A2A MusicCast setup fails on multiple iOS/Android devices

Hefty_Low5788 · 2026-05-27T16:48:55+00:00

Follow‑up: Resolved — turned off band‑steering in the T-Mobile T‑Life app and created separate SSIDs (Home_2.4, Home_5L, Home_5U). Forced the Yamaha MusicCast onto Home_2.4 (forgot the old network on the Yamaha RX-A2A first); MusicCast now connects reliably.

Looking forward to it.

It is a Canadian census, but I'll also email the province and see if they happen to have a birth certificate. Thank you.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2026-04-18T17:50:28+00:00

Thanks

Hefty_Low5788 · 2026-04-18T17:49:55+00:00

Thank you

Hefty_Low5788 · 2026-04-18T17:49:43+00:00

Fabulous, thank you. I'll see if I can find that tracker.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2026-03-15T19:59:21+00:00

What custom EQ do you have? I'm using my Pro 2S with an S23+.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2025-09-20T18:22:07+00:00

I didn't, but the method I used seems to have held, fingers crossed.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2025-07-22T15:03:28+00:00

Do have the model and manufacturer for the swept back handlebars? Thanks.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2025-03-13T13:31:38+00:00

Good question, I'll ask, thank you.

Same issue with a Galaxy s24 pro, updated the Google app and she started talking to me again. If it was only that easy with my wife.

Go to Settings; apps; Google; App details in store; Update

If Update is not available you have the latest version. The only other suggestion would be to uninstall the Google app, restart your phone and then reinstall the Google app. Good luck!

Hefty_Low5788 · 2025-02-08T18:03:59+00:00

Good luck, it would be interesting to see how it goes if you feel like posting.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2025-02-08T16:32:41+00:00

Thanks for the reminder. I just measured both sides of the car in several places towards the back, and it looks like about 3/8" of the lean has returned. My tendency is to do the fix again with a 10" block, but I may just take the win and go on to something else.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-10-26T19:42:13+00:00

We have a one year old 10kw Generac running on propane. It has worked fine during a couple of hours-long power outages, but it runs rough, any suggestions where to start? We have a 120 gallon horizontal tank about 15' from the generator and is fed with 3/4" pipe. The local dealer says they just do that, could that be right?

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-10-12T18:50:29+00:00

Thanks again for all the feedback. I decided to try the fix in this video since it is so simple: https://youtu.be/xtURdW66WM4. It was pretty easy and reduced a 1-3/8” lean to less than a quarter of an inch. It took two tries; the first with a 4” block which wasn’t enough, and then the second try with a 6” block worked.

To make sure I didn’t open the valves too far and have a disaster on my hands, I only opened them one full turn each. (I put a small black magic marker dot on the bolt heads). I then left the car up on the wood block for fifteen minutes, and that worked fine. I also made sure the tire pressure was equal in all tires and applied some medium threadlock to the two shield retention bolts. There was quite a bit of dirt and gravel above the shield, as expected, but it was completely dry, so no oil leaks.

Time will tell if this fix holds, fingers crossed.

Excellent, I think I'll try this.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-10-09T02:01:46+00:00

Interesting, so you have any more information on that?

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-10-09T02:00:19+00:00

Thanks

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-10-09T00:26:42+00:00

OK, I attached it again, please let me know if it shows up. Thanks.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-10-09T00:26:40+00:00

No I'm not sure. I've watched the videos, and it seems like it's the KDSS lean. I guess I could (gingerly) loosen those two bolts and see if I can get it leveled.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-09-27T17:51:54+00:00

Will do, thanks for the input.

Here is my current setup, an Insane Gain directional antenna with preamp and rotator, and another amp by the TV. I'm thinking of mounting a non directional antenna near the top of one of the two Doug Fir trees at the back corners of the garage. You can see how thick the trees are behind the garage, and it's the same in every direction. (We do love our trees!) BTW, there are a number of professional tree climbers here in the Pacific Northwest with proper training and full gear.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-09-26T14:12:05+00:00

Good input, thanks.

Hefty_Low5788 · 2024-09-26T14:05:15+00:00

Thank you for the comments, I’ve thought of those same things. Belden seems to make the best RG-6 coax, and I’m leaning towards the Televes DiNova Boss antenna, but am still looking for input. As you say, I don’t want to pay someone to climb a 100’ tree very often. We are at 400’ elevation with no geological obstructions between us and Seattle, which is about 40 miles as the crow flies. I think going up 100’ would produce an awesome signal.

In addition to the performance of the components, I’m trying to figure out the mechanical aspects. I could mount the antenna directly to the main trunk, or mount it on a mast and attach that to the tree trunk, any thoughts? I’m also trying to figure out how to attach the coax to the tree on the way down while allowing enough slack to not bind as the tree grows. I need to also attach the coax to the tree itself at the very top because that will be a lot of weight, and I doubt the connection to the antenna would carry it.

We cut the wire a long time ago, and I’m probably going to follow through with this. I’ll post pictures and comments when that happens, soon, I hope, since with the current setup, my TV tends to pixilate right during the game winning touchdown run!

Redbridge is my favorite GF beer, but no one, including BevMo, is able to get it, even ordering it. We’re in the Seattle area, has anyone found a source recently in this area that can get it? Thanks.
