XRF Reflector listing

[k0jsc]

Hi All,

I've searched high and low and now 12 months later I'm no closer to a solution. I'm running an XRF reflector using the software on github by n7tae. It was complied as and XRF which is what I want. I can't use the calling home feature because it's not an XLX. If I try the registration server rejects the registration requests. XREF.net won't list it because i'm running this newer software. Is there a way to manually list this so it's part of the pi-star host files? It's difficult to walk folks through editing their host files and I'd just like anyone to connect if they want.

Thanks in advance de K0JSC

It's interesting that the IP address appears twice in https://ar-dns.net/bad as "changing addresses at time intervals of less than 5 minutes (based on last report)":

Code: Select all

$ lynx -dump https://ar-dns.net/bad | grep -E "Value|69.144.255.148"
   Record Type Name                     Value
   A           k0jsc.dgw.ar-dns.net     69.144.255.148
   A           we0fun.dgw.ar-dns.net    69.144.255.148

The fact that both those call signs are located in Canon City, CO 81212 suggests a software configuration error somewhere?

One is my call and one is our club. I don't know anything about AR DNS but I can guarantee that's been my IP for many months and is not changing. It is dynamic but never changes unless the router/modem goes down for an extended time. Where does ARDNS get it's info from?

There's a contact email address on the top-level page if you have questions.

So just checking... is your reflector running with a static address ??

I'll again suggest that the XRF815 is somehow misconfigured, as it doesn't appear in either http://ar-dns.net/xlx or the local hosts files:

Code: Select all

$ lynx -dump http://ar-dns.net/xlx | grep -i xrf815              
$ grep -i xrf815 /usr/local/etc/*txt
$ host xrf815.k0jsc.com 
xrf815.k0jsc.com has address 69.144.255.148
$ lynx -dump http://xrf815.k0jsc.com/
                            503 Service Unavailable

   No server is available to handle this request.

The URI came from http://dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=K0JSC

I'm not sure of that listing but it's been removed. AFAIK the REF is configured correctly.
