Multi-Mode Pistar - Linking/Unlinking

[NO8J]

I see that it is possible to set the pistar up for multi-mode use, e.g., DMR and D-STAR.

I read this quote of Andy Taylor online "My best advice for operating multi-mode is to turn on the modes you want—and leave them un-linked at startup, and only link when you want to (doing so from the radio in your hand) and un-link when you are done—this means the hotspot is always ready to go in the mode you want when you want." and am wondering how do I start up the pi-star "un-linked" and then how do I link and unlink the mode using the HT?

Thanks and 73,
Mark

By not defining a startup reflector and/or keying tg4000 before turning off ur radio.
and using the other linking commands for the radio ur using.

Suggest you take an evening and look over the linking section of ur radios manual. as most radios have a slightly different way to link. esp. for the different modes, but also the specific radio model nos.

For WiresX radios with YSF2DMR enabled:

Hold # YSF Room# to link a Room
Hold * to Unlink

Hold # 00002# to link to YSF2DMR
Hold # DMR-TG# to link a TG
Hold # 04000# to Unlink TG then Hold * to Unlink from YSF2DMR and back to nothing linked

Note: Sometimes you need to key the mic to wake up the HotSpot to accept WiresX commands before using # or *

For DMR Radios (Anytone 8x8 or Btech DMR-6X2):

Set up Contacts to link to TGs or DMR2YSF (70 + YSF Room Number)
Also set up Contacts for DMR Disconnect (4000) and YSF Disconnect (7004000)
You can also Manual Dial (Menu->Contacts->Manual Dial then press up arrow for Group ID and enter TF or YSF number)
