XLX Linked to.. Not Linked Announcements

[VK2FMET]

This doesn't happen to me so much and I know when it does it's internet connection or a reflector re-boot initiates it.
But for a couple of friends on the road, it is happening a lot more regularly at the moment (perhaps since the 4.1 upgrade - maybe not)
Am I right in assuming that the XLX link is checked by heartbeat on a regular basis? And a missed heartbeat causes the un-link and a resumed heartbeat causes a re-link - "Linked To" message?

That is a loaded question - it depends on how you are linking to the XLX.

DMR/D-Star or YSF ?

Yeh - OK - I was referring to DMR in the first instance
I don't get any announcements from YSF connections or discons - should I?

In fact - The YSF room connections to XLX reflector are to the reflector - not an individual Module letter. Which module do you end up on (before I test to find out)?

XLX via YSF, is a bit of a problem at the moment, the other cross mode stuff happens nicely in a tree layout.

Code: Select all

YSF/FCS at the top
\
 YSF2xxx
  \
   Select a TG etc, when you disconnect here you go right back to the top.

That works nicely however, XLX is expected to work the same, but it does not because the ID coming back from the XLX does not match the ID of the local gateway, so you have to connect to an XLX, then take your radio out of WiresX mode, and then go back to WiresX mode, and now you can control the XLX.

We'll get that cured eventually....

Looping back to the first question - heart beat is a DMR thing, yes, so it's totally possible for that to happen.
