Trying to get anything added to github, is like getting blood out of a stone, and many have given up trying.
I'm happy to help, nobody has really asked me.
Andy-

not to hijack this thread, but since you've offered to help, I have 2 simple pull requests into Jonathan that have not been acknowledged or merged. I added a TG to the NXDN hostfiles and another to the P25 hostfiles. Both are for Colorado HD (BM 31088, bridged to D-STAR, YSF, NXDN, P25). They are simple clean pulls, and I've tweeted Jonathan twice graciously asking if he could merge them. But no response. Do you have any suggestions?

In the meantime I'm helping folks manually add these TGs to their local hostfiles in pi-star, but wouldn't it be great if they were in the updated hostfiles?

Andy,
I followed your instructions to allow the use TGIF and Brandmeister on my PI-Star repeater.
I noticed the thread was from 2018.
I have a problem. We use TGIF talk group 2416 so i configured the radio to use slot 1 for TGIF.
All of a sudden i'm getting calls from Sweden which is TG 2416 on Brandmeister.
So i checked the settings and discovered DMR3 was disabled.
How do i make sure the settings don't change?
would using the same talk group on both networks be a problem?
thanks

hi mike

it should not change from Enabled=1 in the config file... UNLESS you change select "other things" in the webUI panel which have an interaction with the [DMR Network 3] section. SUCH AS manipulating the DMR2YSF: slider switch, etc.

IN my case I added this code, then realized that I had (previously) been using DMR2YSF to get my hotspot to relay through a local Wires-X repeater (which worked).

I have since disabled that feature, intending to get on TGIF on slot 1 using this code snippet, which loses the DMR2YSF function.

Once I added the code, I realized the slider switch was still "on".
I slid it to "off" and then applied settings.
I checked the code again and it had changed from Enabled=1 to Enabled=0 but the rest of the code was there.
I edited the code back to 1 and restarted, and it has persisted there.

I've made some other changes (DMR+ and BM related) and they haven't (yet) interfered with any other options in the [DMR Network 3] section.
But remember since you've added this section outside of the WebUI, the WebUI will still expect it to be "commandable" via its own methods/actions, so we need to "keep in mind" to check the code sections like this that have been changed outside of the UI when making other changes and/or applying updates and patches.

ttfn,
Joe N8CN
