Possible bug in DStar mode
Posted: Tue Jan 18, 2022 5:09 pm
I am responsible for a DMR machine running PiStar. We also have a machine running G3 plus g2_link on an Icom stack. When we set PiStar up originally we experimented with the DStar portion, but turned it off after several weeks. This was about 4 years ago. It's been off ever since.
We are running the latest version and used a backup to transfer the settings from the old version to the newly written sdcard so things would just work, but DStar was still off. Looked in expert settings and have noticed that the original DStar settings were still there.
This is relevant because those settings were quoted to us from a xrf reflector that accused us of causing interference on the reflector and gave the correct IP address for the pi-star machine. He's now banned us.
I would believe that it the activation is turned off on the DStar option, anything in that stanza should be ignored, but this is clearly not the case.
I have removed the dstar information from the stanza in expert mode, but thought I'd report this as a bug. I have no idea if this will fix the issue but the the reflector owner has indicated that the club is now persona nongrata. Unfortunate as we has members that checked in on a net on that reflector.
