Expert DStarRepeater

Post by KC2CBD »

I need to have D-Star use a different callsign then the rest of the system.
I go to expert and change the callsigns in ircddbgateway and it leaves the rest of the systems alone.
But if I go to expert and change the callsigns under DStarRepeater it changes all of the system to match.

Can anyone explains this?

Dale, KC2CBD

Edit - I'm running Pi-Star 4.0 up to date

The dash reads some of the config from the old config files - since if you go back far enough - my dashboard code pre-dates MMDVMhost :)

If you ONLY edit by expert and dont use the config page - then the config is sane, but I dont expect repeaters or users to ever not use the same callsign.

The changes in expert mode use to not change all of the node.
Now changing them in expert changes them.
I really need it to be able to be different like it use to let me do it via version 3 did.

Thanks

The "Why?" question remains ... your answer may help the developers address an issue that they haven't yet considered.

The why has nothing to do with Pi-Star at all so irrelevant.
Thanks

You can still install the v3.4.17 instead. Why use a release candidate if you're not willing to provide useful feedback? That's the entire purpose of rcX.

The need to have D-Star on a different callsign doesn't have anything to do with Pi-Star.
We need D-Star on a different callsign for reasons unrelated to how Pi-Star works.
The Repeater is coordinated under a callsign that is different from the clubs D-Star Callsign.
So not related to Pi-Star but I gave feedback that we can't setup the difference under expert page anymore.
So How is that not giving feedback???
How is that related to Pi-Star at all???

The repeater also has DMR and Fusion on it that are linked to the repeater callsign.

Thanks

The dashboard on v3 and v4 is exactly the same, if it worked on v3 it should do on v4.

I let the normal config do the setup then I edit the dstar configs in expert and it changes all the callsigns for everything to what I edit in the expert mode.
It didn't do that in v3 but it is now in v4.
I really would like to use v4 and edit the callsigns for what we need.
I don't know what is going on but it doesn't want to let me set different callsigns.

Thanks
