Re: 4.2.1 Upgrade Success

Yeah, not critical as the workaround was relatively easy once I figured out to use the partition path instead of /dev/root with resize2fs.

Thanks! Upgrading has not increased CPU load appreciably so is nice to be on a more recent distro. Will keep an eye on the 4.3.0 progress...

Re: Unable to upgrade to 4.1.2

4.1.2 is a complete OS changeout from version 3 so cannot be upgraded from the expert dashboard. The author's statement is that 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 can be upgraded via the upgrade dashboard since it is just pistar related updates (BTW, if you are at 4.1.0, you have to upgrade twice to get to 4.1.2 and I...

The first is an APRS Object/Item which is a free-form marker for any type of object. In this case, it is giving the repeater/hotspot location and access information (callsign ID, frequency, split, range, etc.). This is a common use of APRS Objects and used with analog repeaters as well (along with m...

Re: TH-D74 not heard on XLX reflectors

I refer you to the ITU documentation on Fixed Mobile radio identification and specifically, the callsign formation possibilities document.

Re: TH-D74 not heard on XLX reflectors

The callsign fields (there are 4) are assumed upper case. While not delineated in the spec as upper case only, it has always been assumed that callsigns are upper case as has been represented since the beginning of licensed amateur radio. The callsign also always starts in the 1st character position...
