Re: No access to Pi-Star dashboard/website

Not sure why after all this time and past reboots etc.... but entered the new IP Address and I'm back in business. ~ Amy, K0AMY Like was stated....your router has a DHCP server that assigns IPs to devices on that first-come first-serve basis. When a new device hooks to the network it broadcasts a r...

Re: Stupid question time - HS, RF, Net meanings in context

But my question is, what is the process of turning a pi-star from DMR to d-star for instance? Is it just a matter of the pi-star recognizing the data received and automatically switches? Or is there more to it? I haven't seen this aspect discussed before. Maybe because I wasn't looking fir it. Basi...

Re: Pi-Star Firewall Ports

I believe only one specific type of D-Star reflector requires a port forward. Other than that, as stated, everything is outbound and stateful firewall rules (which your "enterprise grade" router/firewall will support) will handle things. I have UPnP disabled on my router and haven't had is...

This has been running silently as an iframe on my QRZ page for months with zero issues. There have been some changes. The entire thing now lives in a new repository: https://git.pickmy.org/dewdude/piscrape There are preliminary instructions on how to do this with remote SSH access You will still nee...

Re: MobileGPS support...

The closest I've found on Google is https://forum.pistar.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1724#p7637 which runs a shell script to read the GPS info and send it to some server. Nothing I've read indicates that Pi-Star, as delivered, makes use of an external GPS -- even if it shows a configuration block for it. It...

Re: Pi-Star Destination Unreachable.

however when I try to connect, the PI-star is blocking the reflector. Pi-Star isn't "blocking" the connection. As stated, it shouldn't care what it's outbound is going to, as long as it can reach it. For whatever reasons...those two network devices are unable to talk. Maybe they're not ac...

Re: Extracting Connection Information For Display Elsewhere

I pushed an update to this on Thursday night. The primary change is that the PHP was "rewritten from scratch" to fix the hacky formatting I used before. Also attempted to make some adjustments so things look better when you have a large number of talkgroups connected and the cell becomes m...

That was helpful.
Was thinking about 1 hotspot on YSF, another on DSTAR.... and rarely, both might be on.

I run one hotspot here for DStar and another for DMR. Both are on full time. I have no problems with this.

Re: DSTAR <-> YSF Cross Connect Possible?

The quality when you can make this happen is horrible both ways. Imagine a speek-n-spell trying to mimic another speek-n-spell. You have two layers of voice-optimized codecs and that never turns out well. I ran a reflector with the stuff to do the AMBE transcoding; it was lousy. You could always tel...

Re: Have nultiple pi-star hotspots, however, none work on ISP now

It's been a while since I've actually used a YSF radio with Pi-Star; I know a lot of improvements were made in regards to the WIRES-X interface emulation....when I first tried it none of it really worked. It was easier for me to do it all by console. But I do seem to remember playing with it when 4 ...
