Hi Folks! New poster here, and relatively new Hotspot user. I currently have a Pi 3 running a simplex hat. Just have it on DMR+ (Pheonix) and it is working quite well (apart from when some users don't leave a gap so I can't switch TG - grrr!).
I have now ordered a Duplex hat and another Pi 3 should be arriving over the weekend In preparation, I am wondering if there is a comprehensive setup guide for Duplex hats?
I have multiple radios, so can utilise both timeslots, however my main reason for ordering a duplex hat was to be able to switch TGs during a busy QSO if i so choose.
In terms of radio programming, I prefer setting up individual channels rather than switching contacts on the fly.
Currently on DMR+ I have it set up this way, and I really like the fact they are now mapping TGs directly to reflectors on Pheonix-f
I don't mind introducing extra digits in the programming of the radio. So I would be happy with :
TG 100235 mapping to TG235 on DMR+
TG 200235 mapping to TG235 on BM
TG 300235 mapping to TG235 on TGIF
and whatever would be needed for XLX (I haven't directly used XLX reflectors yet)
Is there a guide that covers such a setup?
How would you manage the timeslots? e.g. can I use this TG mapping on both timeslots? I have noticed some people pipe TGIF onto 1 particular timeslot. I was hoping not to limit it by using the talkgroup rewriting.
All advice welcome as I anticipate and plan for the new gear!
Many thanks,
Rob
Duplex Hat & DMR Gateway Setup Guide
Re: Duplex Hat & DMR Gateway Setup Guide
Have you ever figured it out? I found that DMRGateway configuration examples for duplex hats are few and far between...
Re: Duplex Hat & DMR Gateway Setup Guide
Here's my question though. When a call comes on a TG number that exists on both networks, how does your radio know where to reply?
3125 - Massachusetts exists and all three networks for example. Do rewrite rules work both ways? Can it rewrite them back to their 300XXXX numbers?

Re: Duplex Hat & DMR Gateway Setup Guide
Funny you ask - I was curious about how rewrite rules work and someone pointed me to this the other day:
https://github.com/g4klx/DMRGateway/wiki/Rewrite-Rules
DMR Gateway is a classic example of something that requires "tribal knowledge". There seem to be a few people around that know of its capabilities, but none of them are willing to document 100% of how it works.
Even that Wiki on GitHub consists of 3 pages:
Welcome
Example Configurations
Rewrite Rules
Example Configurations has two links - both of which result in 404 errors when you click on them.
There's a sample DMRGateway.ini file on GitHub that has some comments included, but that's not documentation. That's breadcrumbs as far as I'm concerned.
https://github.com/g4klx/DMRGateway/blo ... ateway.ini
If anyone happens to come across the holy grail of DMR Gateway documentation, please point in the right direction!
