P25 ID not showing repeaters

Post by VK2YMU »

The DMR ID file does not have any repeater ID's
I wish to display the ID 505317 as VK3RBA on the dashboard.

One solution offered by another user was to have a custom DMRId.dat file specific for P25
Thus by altering the P25gateway entry that by default shows as
[Id Lookup]
Name=/usr/local/etc/DMRIds.dat
To
[Id Lookup]
Name=/home/pi-star/DMRIds.dat
This is my file specific for P25 ID look up

Now I can save this change, confirm that the change as taken place.
The problem is that after a reboot, the file reverts back to its original entry,
I just don't understand why I am not able to make this change permanent, the other user is on the same version and works for him.

I am on an Pi A+ running versio4 RC4

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The entry is in the P25gateway
However this is now resolved, I burned another image V4 RC3 and this issue has gone.
However if I change the id lookup with in P25gateway to point to my custom DMRIda.dat, it fails to do so.

All I need is to show on dashboard the name of repeaters, for instance 505317 as VK3RBA
The repeaters are not listed in the normal DMR Id file..

I have figured the problem out...
I can now have my own custom alias ID

I can add any alias to the DMRId file upon start up and also at updates and does not break the system.
This is the patch code as an executable inserted in rc.local and HostFilesUpdate.sh
_______________________________________________________
# Append Custom ID's to DMRIds.dat
# Make file system read & write
mount -o remount,rw /
echo "505317 VK3RBA" >> /usr/local/etc/DMRIds.dat
# Make file system read only
mount -o remount,rw /
sleep 1
done

As far as Version 4 I am using, I did use the later version from the download, this is not stable on the A+, it locks up

Thanks for the comments

Yes I understand this, however maybe Andy could include this simple feature as I am not the only one wanting this :)
