Loss of DTMF Decoding PLUS loss of ability to edit ircddbgateway config file from Expert Menu

I would not suggest trying to build the binary from scratch like that.

Instead, download the latest build (raw download) from here:

<https://github.com/MW0MWZ/MMDVM_Stack/b ... /MMDVMHost>

Copy it to the /home/pi-star directory, then backup (copy) the /usr/local/bin/MMDVMHost entry to a new name before copying the previously downloaded update to /usr/local/bin.

(You'll probably have to stop the mmdvm host program first before you can complete the copy.)

Then recycle the system/tasks to load and test the new version.

Hi Mark... WOW - I did not know about Andy's repo on github!

OK, MMDVMHost binary updated and DTMF IS WORKING Y'ALL!!!

Now dare I try a Pi-Star v4.3 image and update that....? - tempting!

Appreciate your replies Mark!!

BTW, I saw some posts from others mentioning the need to update the repo path...

Let's see if the nightly update breaks this manual update!

Where do I update the repo path and what is the url that I need to spec?

Thanks!

You should be able to follow the same steps for this version as you did for the other.

Hi Mark,

Well, the new version of mmdvmhost (MMDVMHOST: 03/21/25 883868 20250319_PS4 git #d9d6846
) is causing some issues.

There is a message in the mmdvm log file that I see quite frequently...

M: 2025-03-22 19:33:37.662 D-Star, received RF header from VA3UV /91AD to CQCQCQ
M: 2025-03-22 19:33:57.762 D-Star, received RF end of transmission from VA3UV /91AD to CQCQCQ , 20.1 seconds, BER: 0.0%, RSSI: -43/-43/-43 dBm

M: 2025-03-22 19:34:08.357 D-Star, invalid slow data header


This invalid slow data header results in mmdvm ignoring the user's transmission; so the audio is not repeater, nor allowed to pass to the linked reflector.

I have posted this issue on G4KLX's GitHub issues site (ticket #832).

The other thing that I notice is this...

There seems to be a lot of flip flopping starting / leaving fast data mode. I hear a lot of beeps on the audio when listening to traffic off the reflector. Not sure if this is all related, but I'll take it one step at a time.

I am just glad that I found KLX's "support channel"!

So Andy / Andrew standby for an updated mmdmhost cpp file, we will need a new build.

Thx,
