I just had a thought. Many of the D-STAR software packages for hotspots such as Pi-STAR has an option to setup a default reflector. Would it be possible in a future release to setup a default Smart Group that would automatically be logged in on boot of QnetGateway? The thought would be to have the software automatically login to the specified Smart Group and also have a keep alive timer so a user wouldn¡¯t need to login again after the 5 hours of inactivity. This keep alive activity could be behind the scenes so it would talk with the SGS without keying up the Smart Group. If the hotspot were to go offline, the timer would log them out of the smart group as it does now. The timer could be set for 4 hours, 55 minutes to keep the overhead low on the SGS.

Not sure if this is even possible but I thought I would mention it just in case you wanted to consider doing something of this nature for a future release.
