Tested with two YSF Radios, FT2D and FT70D

1) I reflashed the microSD Card on a Duplex Hotspot
2) I brought it up in steps to start YSF2DMR in simplex mode connected to TG30232 on the TGIF Server.
3) Ysf Radio works fine into DMR TG 30232
4) DMR to YSF FAILS. The Hotspot Screen shows the DMR detail and the Meter on YSF Radio shows the RF signal but receiver fails to open, similar to an analog radio with the wrong sub tone.
5) DGID set to 0 in both radios, Tested with mmdvmhost.ini file DGID commented out
6) Tested with mmdvmhost.ini file DGID set to zero, Hotspot failed to show any signal and/or pass on the signal in either direction.
7) Tested in pi-star 4.1.0.RC6, as flashed, and fully updated
8) Tested in duplex mode with split frequencies.
9) Tested in pi-star 4.1.0.RC7 - Simplex Mode
10) Tested in pi-star 4.1.0.RC7 -duplex mode with split frequencies

None of these tests resulted in successfully transmitting a DMR signal into a YSF Radio.
The reverse YSF to DMR worked fine.

Setting the YSF Startup Host to a ysf reflector works fine in both directions

Retraction - It looks like YSF2DMR is not the problem

After spending a week trying to get it to run in 4.1.0 RC6 and RC7, I reverted back to 3.4.17 and it came up running right out of the box so to speak

Phil VE3RD

I agree that there are problems with 4.x but I cannot get YSF to run reliably at all in 3.4.17 let alone YSF2DMR - I always get not linked or, if a link ever appears, it falls over within a short time. Essentially my two hot-spots running pi-star don't work on YSF...

What settings are you using under 3.4.17?

Ian

YSF uses two services,
MMDVMHost /etc/mmdvmhost

[System Fusion]
Enable=1

[System Fusion Network]
Enable=1


YSFGateway /etc/ysfgateway
[YSF Network]
Enable=1

[FCS Network]
Enable=1

In the dashboard you should see two lights, "YSF" and "YSF Net"
If you don'y get the YSF Net light check the file /usr/local/sbin/ysfgateway.service
You will see three checks before it will do anything or respond with a status
look in the indicated files for the conditions required to run

These are the basics, and should get you going

YSF and YSF Net are both green in the dashboard.

There was a pi-star up date 20200103
did that have any effect

Phil VE3RD

Update has not worked since around then - it did update successfully on around that date but update always reports unable to access some directory or other. YSF stopped working around that time too but not directly correlated (it did work AFTER the update worked but has not worked at all since about 10th Jan).

Ian

This is the error that I get:

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/AndyTaylorTweet/Pi-S ... _sbin.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com

Of course, github.com does exist and is resolvable.

Ian

Sorry. My Bad, Finger Trouble.
The update was yesterday 20200203

That error looks like a dns error
try a ping from a ssh shell on your pi-star
ping github.com

You are quite right - github not resolved by pi-star but IS resolvable from my mac on the same WiFi.

Any idea how to kick start DNS on pi-star? That could explain most problems - although why D-Star works is still a mystery...
