I would like to create a starnet group for friends and as a way to learn something new. I have it working on a pi 0 with a generic jumbo spot. My question is can i run pi star for this on a raspberry pi without the jumbo so i can have just a standalone “reflector”? If so, how would i set up the mode in configuration?
Thanks
Danny

Re: More Starnet 4 a newb.
4 != "for" ... use of language is important if one wants to communicate effectively.
In your Jumbo modem-less scenario, have you tried selecting Radio/Modem type: "--" on the Configuration page? You have the option of configuring (4 != "for") 4 starNet servers in /etc/ircddbgateway assuming each is properly registered. If they're not properly registered then the D-Star call sign routing that starNet uses simply won't work.
Above caveats observed, what you want to do is possible with Pi-Star.

Re: More Starnet 4 a newb.
I did not register anything with ircddb as from what I read a legacy STARnet group didn’t require it.
I just wanted to make a stand-alone reflector like device on a spare RPi I have.
I set things up in pi star in expert mode according to what I read (http://www.k2dls.net/blog/2019/03/14/se ... ing-group/) but others can’t connect in. My STARnet group does show up on the QuadNet dashboard.
I’m new to all this and don’t know much right now. But would be appreciative 4 any help.
Thanks.

Re: More Starnet 4 a newb.
Interesting. I wonder why they say it doesn’t need to be registered.
Re: More Starnet 4 a newb.
Nowhere in the article you cited does it say "it doesn’t need to be registered", so it's not clear why you would make that statement. The article only deals with a fictitious starNet group setup in Pi-Star.
