I sent you an email direct, I want to get in and take a look at
things.? I'll send you an email with my phone# if you want to give
me a call.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too.
Tom, if qnmodem won't start, you can't use qnadmin to look at the
log. (It will only show logs of running programs.) So you'll have
to get out of quadmin and look at the log the old fashioned way
by:
sudo journalctl -u qnmodem
Then you can scroll down to the end and see what the problem is.

Re: Progress installing gateway, still not 100%
Hi Thomas,
In order to use the jumbo spot, you need to make sure qnmodem is installed and running. From your log, it is possibly installed but not running. Try starting it using qnadmin Maintenance Menu.

Progress installing gateway, still not 100%
Hello All,
Used all of your suggestions from yesterday and it looks like the MMDVM
is running as well as the Qnet gateway software, but still no connections. No
ack from mmdvm or Qnet when I key up using icon 92ad HT. Building on RPi 3 with
latest, updated Raspbian, Jumbospot hat. ?I have attache a log run from qnadmin.
If you need more info let me know, thanks.

Perfect, Thanks Tom, only got round to retesting at the weekend ;-)

Re: QnetGateway for Icom DSTAR Repeaters on Raspbian Stretch
Hi Dan,
For testing, you can use the ip address add ... command to apply the second IP address to the interface like this:
sudo ip address add 172.16.0.20 dev eth0
The simplest way to make that persistent may be to add an @reboot cronjob running the above command (as a root cronjob, without the sudo).
It can be done using /etc/network/interfaces but there are some suggestions that this may be dangerous on some hardware/driver combos, but look at the iproute2 method found near the bottom of this page:

QnetGateway for Icom DSTAR Repeaters on Raspbian Stretch
Trying to configure my Pi B+ based QnetGateway to replace a G2 gateway on our Icom repeaters, and I'm fighting IP address issues.? I COULD change the IP address on the Icom controller to be on the same network as the local LAN, but I think I would rather leave the controller as is.? I've seen comments from folks talking about adding the 172.16.x.x network as eth0:1 on the Pi, but I'm struggling to do that.? Read several methods, and I can't make it happen.??
What I want is the eth0 port on the Pi to have 10.0.0.2 and 172.16.0.20.? Has anyone done that?? If so, will you share your working config file???

Thanks for all the great help. ?A great group. ?Will give it a shot.

Re: Troubleshooting MMDVM won't start
Expanding on Stefan’s comment, ? You may need to edit /boot/config.txt and disable enable_uart=1 and may need to add dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt or pi3-disable-bt (depending on your preference). This either moves the Bluetooth to the mini uart, or disables it entirely. If you don’t do this (and you aren’t using Pi-Star which does this automatically), bluetooth will bind to the uart and your modem won’t work. ? Colby ? ?

Re: Troubleshooting MMDVM won't start
Sorry, in your MMDVM.qn file, you will want to set it to /dev/ttyAMA0. ? Colby ? ?

Re: Troubleshooting MMDVM won't start
You will want to use /dev/ttyAMA0 as the device for your jumbospot/zumspot clone in the qnconfig program. ? COM is for windows based stuff.? Enjoy ? Colby ? ?

Re: Raspberry Pi Version?
QnetGateway works on any of the Raspberry Pi Models, as long as there is internet connectivity.

Re: Raspberry Pi Version?
It will run fine on all versions of the pi.?

Re: new support for MMDVM-compatible modem and hot-spots
Sorry Stefan, my bad. This is fixed now in master.
I have also added some "healing" to qngateway in this latest update. It corrects for missing or late voice packets before sending the voice stream on to a module. This will substantially improve the audio quality when you are listening to a channel with marginal UDP/IP performance.

Re: new support for MMDVM-compatible modem and hot-spots
I've finally received my replacement HS_HAT and have got round to trying this. Once I'd selected the correct serial port it works well, looking forward to doing some more in depth testing around this. I have noted that qnremote doesn't work, with the error show below returned:
module type 'mmdvmmodem' is invalid!
I wonder whether this is a side effect of the use of DGRAM sockets and whether there is a way to regain this functionality? 73, Stefan
