Hello CT1DVM,

Do you mean the DMR Master configuration ? Mine is set to BM_United_States_3102. I never used the DMRGateway as an option as the DMR Master.
Or not sure if I understand your question.
Where can I check the 9990 TypeRewrite / SrcRewrite rules?
Sorry the rookie questions, I'm new to pi-star.

Hello Malcolm - N0XRV,

I could not reproduce your issue. What happens several times is that I key my radio and nothing happens until I get a connection fail message on the radio, then after a random period of time, it works - it's very annoying.
I read about RXOffset and according to the MMDVM vendor it should be -475 but I found out that it works better on -275 (less failures).
But now that Parrot is set as a private contact, it works fine all the time. I'm still puzzled that it worked before as Groupcall and I have a friend with the same GD-77 radio using pi-star 4.1.0 RC3 just like me and he has his Parrot set as Groupcall and it works on his end. We have different MMDVM modules - that is the only difference in the configuration.
