BUG: YSF repeater blocked for a long time if wrong code is sent

Post by IV3BVK »

Hello everyone,

we would like to inform you of a major problem detected, which certainly concerns all pi-star platforms that use the YSF protocol. This problem is blocking all repeater bridges that use the pi-star platform RPi.

Together with my colleague Antonio IZ0MXY I point out that, in YSF mode, using both simplex or duplex hotspots, BUT ALSO with YSF repeaters using the pi-star platform, sending a connection code of a node that is NOT in the YSF host list (for example the code of a Wires-X node), IMMEDIATELY the pi-star dashboard indicates "SERVICE NOT STARTED" in the YSF Network pane, while in the Network Status box the Mode enabled indicator turns RED. The box relative to the YSFGateway also goes out.

This condition of blocking of the YSF service PERSISTS for a variable time from 2 to 7 minutes; then the system returns to work with the service connected to the departure hall set by default, in the pi-star programming (DMRGateway).

The tests were carried out both with hs-hat simplex and with hs dual-hat; both in multimode and single mode YSF and with only C4FM YSF repeater.
All the tests involved the BLOCKING OF THE YSF SERVICE with the times described above. The other modes (if previously enabled) remain fully operational.
Also the version of the pi-star used does not seem to influence the behavior of the indicator (version 4.1.6 in use).

We ask if this behavior is desired and, if so, what are the parameters on which to act to enable / disable it, or to adjust the intervention / restoration times of the service. Or we want to know if the block time is completely random, and not managed by a timer.

Thanking you for your attention, we look forward to receiving your information.

Best regards,

73 'de Paolo IV3BVK & IZ0MXY Antonio
