Out of 319 active G3 gateways only 21 have converted to the new Alma code and
2.2q Linux version 5.14.0-427.20.1.el9_4.x86_64 (64)

Agree with the Lamma...

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a software environment simulator based on Alma and including each of the icom packages, gateway, controller, and repeaters, to be interchanged for comparability & config .... Then simulate interactive features between systems such as linking..

Just thinking ... aa7oo Norm

You need to get a new gateway release from ICOM then get a copy of the new ALMA code/linux and follow the directions. I’m not planning on changing any of my system/s until the fall , after others figure out all the new bugs.. At this point in the yum releases there will not be any new features you should need and if there was an exploit somebody would have found it already. Keep your system locked down except for ports needed for the mission and don’t load a bunch of un-needed crap on your server.

Centos7 ... end of life

kd7kdo@... (kd7kdo) — Fri, 05 Jul 2024 13:11:20 -0700

Dstar group,

I see that Centos7 is at end of life ... as of end of June.

My 'Yum -update' is no longer working.

Is this a problem for my server?

What should I do?

Best regards, Paul Bennett kd7kdo@...

MAtt, THANK YOU for the update. I do now see the REF009 users showing up on the DSTARUSERS.ORG last heard list.
I am wondering what brand of MW xcvr you are using for the interconnect?

ref009 has been updated and rebooted. K7TUS is running in standalone until I replace the 11GHz uplink to the Internet.

These 3 sites are no longer available via this method. The two RST sites no omg operate with that call. One is gone the other is K7TUS but the server needs reloading to get all of the ID and last heard stuff working correctly. The K7NAZ system is no longer a pure ICOM system so it doesn't provide the same data as a true ICOM gateway system would.

Matt, any chance you will be getting the ref009 server reloaded?
None of the users connected to ref009 ever show up on the DSTARUSERS.ORG last heard page.

Also I haven't been able to see the last heard list for any of the K7TUS repeaters for some time I suspect that one or more of the server processes are stopped or possibly IP blocked to the outside world.

ATTENTION Registering for D-Star

@... — Wed, 24 Feb 2021 12:26:13 -0800

Going forward, it has been decided that new registrations for KE7JFH D-Star (ie, Usery and Pinal) should go through REGIST.

There are several reasons for this, one of which is the unreliability of notifications of a new registration pending with G3 Gateway Software.

To register with REGIST go to - https://regist.dstargateway.org

Here is a tutorial- https://regist.dstargateway.org/instructions/

I did fail to put in the HTTPS:// in front of the info shown

Should look like this

Don't just "key the radio". Say something.

This is good information. However, instead of "listening" for activity, key the radio and create some activity. I try to do that when I have time.

Thanks

So I was listening to some activity on the KE7JFH system and it dawned on me that we have a handful of new users who may not know where to find info on what the repeater systems are connected to.
The following web locations will provide you the current DPLUS DASHBOARD for the repeater system:
Depending on the browser you may get a notification that site is unsecure, if you get this message accept the risk and the page should be displayed. If you are using firefox you may have to go to an advanced tab and accept the risk. MS EDGE has a some message that asks about selecting the link shown and continuing to site in question.
These are https://
ke7jfh.dstargateway.org
n7ci.dstargateway.org
w7mot.dstargateway.org
k7rst.dstargateway.org
kr7st.dstargateway.org
k7naz.dstargateway.org

You will not be able to pull this info up for KG7HBZ as there gateway is not accessible to the outside world.

Another way to get info related to the repeater stack is to go to this web location for KE7JFH. IF you change the call letters to the repeater you want to view you can see the same info for another system. ALSO the call MUST be in CAPS
See the two examples below:

www.dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=KE7JFH
www.dstarusers.org/viewrepeater.php?system=W7MOT

Bob,

Before trying to relink, The repeater. Talk to some folks on it. You want to talk to someone through the reflector to make sure everything is set up correctly. Then you can try relinking. But get on and use the system. Once you are sure everything is set up, I can help you the how to’s.

Thanks

ka6bob@... (Bob Cone) — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 10:28:25 -0700

Outstanding! I will plan to attend the net in the coming weeks. At this time I am registered but not to a specific repeater. That process is quite tedious as many of the registration sites listed are"down".

I pass the "echo" test on the local Mesa and Globe gateways but I have yet to talk to anyone. I am hesitant to link to another site or even a reflector because I am not sure what the protocols are.

Thank you for your reply!

Saturday Night DSTAR Net

aikidave20@... (David Holman) — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 20:22:06 -0700

All,

Every Saturday at 19:00 (AZ Time) I hold the AZ DSTAR Net. This weekend I will be canceling the Net for the 4th.

Thanks

Re: New to D-Star

aikidave20@... (David Holman) — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 20:16:44 -0700

Bob,

DSTAR Is an awesome mode. It is very powerful as an advanced local communication tool. It has a lot of functionality for EMCOMM in the local area. If it can connect to the internet, you can communicate with your mother easily. If an earthquake happens and they lose the internet it will be more difficult. She could use her radio to reach someone who could get a message to you. HF would be best. DSTAR was developed for advanced local communication.

That said, that is not what everyone uses it for.

I hold a net every Saturday night on REF009C I would encourage you and your mother to join us. I won’t be having it this Saturday because of the 4th.

Tnx

David, AC7DS
