I sent your original e-mail to Steve Agee, N5ZUA and he should be able to answer your original question.
As I mentioned before you should make sure your antenna system is working correctly. A bad antenna system can cause major problems with connections on digital systems. As for the * key, read your manual to find out how to change to the next level on your keypad. Sometimes you simply hold the button down longer but check your manual for more information. I seriously doubt that Yaesu would design a microphone without a * key. You will need to find the function key to shift to the * button. >From what I know about AllStar, the system has to be set-up for remote control >by the general public.

One problem my new radio Yaesu FTM100dr....the (* key) is a VFO/ Memory mode switch so when I hit * to give AllStar commands the radio switches VFO and memory and dosen't run the AllStar like the youtube videos say. Its a new radio as of 7 days ago. Trying to connect to specific node type repeaters in Alabama and Florida to get beach conditions. I own a rent house 100 feet off the beach in Gulf Shores Alabama and trying to get in touch with the locals especially during hurricane months. Thought the FTM100dr with its fusion would give me node rooms like the ALABAMA LINK room to do this... which it does...BUT more people from all over America and world are on it more than people from Alabama. Which led me to an AllStar setup to connect to a speciific node and the people there. Not having much luck...Need advise..
