Lines 42 and 45, I left the old ones commented out, it's like I knew that this would come up :)
You can just comment the current ones (comment lines 41 and 44, uncomment 42 and 45 and job done).

I have to say, don't rush to change it locally unless you REALLY want to, if there is enough of a need, I'll add a flag somewhere to swap them over.
Thanks Andy for that bit of information.
This works fine for my MMDVMHost.
I also have a DVAP that uses DStarRepeater. Which file needs modified for that one?

Another vote for QRZ - But I guess a switch is nice (although I rarely ever want to look up someone's radioid.net info).

[EDIT] How about instead of a "switch" - and of course, this may be more complicated, an additional column with "RID" or something in in so you can have both? Click call sign for QRZ, click RID for RadioID.net...?

Just talking about of my [SELF-CENSORED] because I have no idea how complicated something like that would be, but that would be pretty schveet...

[ANOTHER EDIT] When I did the MØLXQ solution, I (as some others) ran into the "No Space Left on Device" issue. I then stumbled upon this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=524&p=16584#p16584

And it solved the problem. Now I'm back to QRZ and life is good.

I think I found the answer to my own question. Is it /var/www/dashboard/dstarrepeater/last_herd.php ?

If we do feel it necessary to change it back locally, can you let us know how to do it please?

but the thought process goes like this;
QRZ is generic Ham related information, while radioid is only relating to the digital end of the hobby.
There is advertising on both, but less on radioid.

I can't say I have a specific allegiance to either, but in my opinion (and it is just opinion) radioid is a better fit.

Feel free to change my mind :)

I think it would be best to let everyone decide if they want QRZ or Radio ID. I personally think QRZ is the best because if you want to E-Mail someone and they have their E-Mail listed, then you have it. Thanks Andy and everyone that helps keep Pi-Star up and going for all you do!!

Myself I like the gentleman's suggestion of clicking on the callsign for QRZ and the numerics for Radio.net.
