Thanks very much - as suggested I have contacted the admins who have placed my 'spare' CCS7 ID into the pool for re-use.

Nice and simple:-)

Folks, I recently found my old Mercury Paging "Pen" pager which is set on 143MHz or thereabouts. I guess that it dates from the early 1990s and I presume that it is a POCSAG device - am I likely to be correct in that assumption? As I recall battery life with zinc-air cells was just over a ...

Folks, I realise that this is not a pi-star issue but I cannot seem to get feedback from elsewhere on this (minor) issue. For some reason (I must have been confused at the time) I have ended up with 2 DMR IDs associated with my UK callsign. My original ID was first registered as a D-Star ID some yea...

Oh and BTW the "SEARCH & DIRECT ENTRY" doesn't work because a) it is not possible to include underscore characters ("_"); b) there are no wildcards; and c) just putting in the start of the title as per the manual (e.g. "IE" in this case) does not work - no result is...

UPDATE: I have been playing around with this and can offer a further clarification: 1. When a room is selected from the global list it IS possible to add it using the process as set out in the manuals; 2. When the room is selected by dialling up its number - Process: "F"+"V/M"+ r...

I have pi-star 4.1.3 running on an mmdvm board (simplex). Radio is a Yaesu FT1D with the latest firmware and DSP firmware. When I connect to a certain YSF room (e.g. "IE_YSF_Ireland" which is #52077) by pressing the Dx key for one second the room appears to connect and the room name appear...

I'm familiar with lsusb and dmesg etc and I'm confident that I have set the port correctly on the linux device. The issue was (in the absence of a serial terminal packaged on the minimally configured RPi) how to verivy that the default baud rate output by the device was known - I did that through Wi...

I've managed to validate my GPS receivers using a (free, of course) tool called VisualGPSView (Windows). One USB receiver was running at 38,400bps and the other was running at 4,800bps. However, as suggested by a correspondent above setting the pi-star to the appropriate receiver port and baud-rate ...

I'm running 4.1.2 on my mobile hotspot and I have hooked up a USB GPS receiver and enabled the feature. The GPS receiver appears as /dev/ttyUSB0 and so I have set that in the config along with 4800bps. I know that this GPS receiver works because I have tried it previously using OpenCPN and I am sure...

I should have said that this is a DMR setup which links to the XLX server.
