Thanks, Andy for the explanation of what the rewrite rules are doing. Pi-star has a lot more capabilities than I ever imagined when I first saw it. I can see that I am going to have to update the hotspots and radios for some friends and family, once we can get together again. And thanks, Jeff, for pursuing this with Andy. You make a good team!

I went down the route of three TGRewrite rules for IPSC2, AND ing 1-3 digit talk-groups with 8000, 4 digit talk groups with 80000, and 5 digits talk-groups with 800000, and it works fine. I've had an issue with private calls on BrandMeister as I seem to be rejected, so I've just rearranged the lines in the configuration to see if that changes things. I never use reflectors in any of the repeaters, and the return acknowledgements from both sets of servers emerge correctly on TG9 and TG8009 when sending 9990 calls. I have noted that group call 9990 is required in the code plug and the code makes the transition to private call. I shall not be using the DynTG however as talk-groups and switchable code plugs are already familiar. When you have a multi-multi channel capable radio, is seems restrictive to run a single channel and push buttons.


Well done anyway. it does what it says out to do, and far far better than the SSH version of MMDVM host I used to run.

PS. Because of the different interlinks on IPSC2, TG80 (8080 in my case) and the others don't cross from IPSC2 France to IPSC2 Phoenix, only the MCC groups, in anybody is wondering,
