Append to DMR ID for Aliases on P25
Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2019 3:31 am
Hi Andy
I have had a need to have an alias ID for one of the P25 repeaters we use here in my area
Since the ID is retrieved from the DMRIds.dat file I have created code that appends to the file.
This patch code as an executable inserted in rc.local and HostFilesUpdate.sh
Here is the code
# Append Custom ID's to DMRIds.dat
# Make file system read & write
mount -o remount,rw /
echo "505317 VK3RBA" >> /usr/local/etc/DMRIds.dat
# Make file system read only
mount -o remount,rw /
sleep 1
done
This is a useful feature that others require for when the DMR ID file does not provide the information since repeaters are not included in the ID file in the first place.
I was advised to post this here, in case you wish to make this a feature of your system thus as a sujestion.
