Re: Manual local POCSAG message without network/DAPNET

OK, I tried and it works ... but: if there is an ongoing QSO at the time of the command, the message doesn't seem to get queued properly (like DAPNET messages) so the message is lost forever. That is a real issue on a busy hotspot/repeater unless there is a way to force the mode to POCSAG before tra...

Re: DMR Gateway broken in 4.1

Look mate, I'm not going to walk you through all the details of MY configuration which is quite bespoke. What about YOU tell what you want to achieve with DMRGateway and I can guide you with the possible configuration(s) and help you troubleshoot it if needed. DO not forget to include your existing ...

Re: DMR Gateway broken in 4.1

I activated hotspot security and re-installed everything from scratch with Pi-Star 4.1.0-RC2. I then did all the configuration changes incrementally, testing each time to make sure that each new addition was not breaking a working setup (especially the DMRGW rules). Happy to give more details over t...

Re: DMR Gateway broken in 4.1

Sorry mate, I did mean to respond more quickly (and I finally did, not even noticing you had removed your reply!).
I was too busy trying to make it work and experimenting.
I can surely tell now that DMRGateway is working as intended and I managed to run my own HBLink too.
73s,

Re: DMR Gateway broken in 4.1

Hi all, I had something really funky going on there. I re-installed everything from scratch and set-up the Brandmeister hotspot security as suggested now it all works. I reckon DMRGateway is a bit difficult to configure and silently fails if you don't do the configuration right, which doesn't help. ...

DMR Gateway broken in 4.1

Hi,
I just updated one of my pi-star repeaters running 3.4.17 to 4.1-RC2.
DMR gateway seems to be completely broken, I can't make it work at all.
Am I the only one?
I'll try 4.0 instead as it is working fine one my duplex hotspot.
Regards,

G

Re: Access serial console with USB-TTL adapter or equivalent

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I now realize I didn't explain the situation correctly. I do not want to access the zumspot modem via serial, flashing works very well with Pi-Star without doing this. What I want is to access the Pi-zero-W tty console via uart while the zumSPOT is connect...

Re: Manual local POCSAG message without network/DAPNET

Thank you for your reply Adrian but it doesn't help much, probably because my question may not have been clear enough. I do not know any other amateur POCSAG network than DAPNET but to me this is irrelevant: what I am after is the possibility to send local messages even if I am disconnected from WAN...

Manual local POCSAG message without network/DAPNET

Hi all, I'm super excited by the new POCSAG capabilities. I have noted that the new feature comes with a script (pistar-dapnetapi) that allows to send a POCSAG message using the DAPNET API. I would like to be able to send various messages via my zumSPOT HotSpot *without going through DAPNET*. This w...
