Thanks, the scripting capability is an often overlooked and a powerful feature of QnetGateway. Along with qnremote, it gives the administrator unprecedented control over a repeater system.

QnetGateway does not officially support DStarRepeater. Nevertheless, it might be possible to make it work. QnetGateway does support MMDVMHost and as far as I know, the packet exchange between MMDVMHost and ircDDBGateway is identical to the packet exchange between DStarRepeater and ircDDBGateway.

This means that if you configure QnetGateway to talk to MMDVMHost, but instead substitute DStarRepeater, it might work. Unfortunately, the qnadmin script will be of limited use since there is no provision within qnadmin to start/stop/monitor DStarRepeater. You still could use qnadmin to administer qngateway and qnrelay. You would either have to modify qnadmin (not recommended unless you are a bash shell programming expert) or handle the DStarRepeater administration separately.

The qnrelay program is a simple translator that converts the DSVT packets that qngateway uses for communication to its supported modems to DSRP packet that G4KLX uses for inter-process communication in his programs. Thus, it's qnrelay that will communicate with DStarRepeater. (BTW, DSVT is the format for a DStar packets traveling on the internet. See the actual formats in the QnetTypeDefs.h file in the QnetGateway repo.)

I don't know anything about Voting system and how they work, but if your repeater system is based on a modem that QnetGateway natively supports, I would do that instead of using DStarRepeater. You can then take full advantage of qnadmin.

The QuadNet IRC routing network supports both STARnet and Smart Groups. Be sure you're using the correct url(s) for our network server as we have recently moved them. The IPv4 IRC routing server is at ircv4.openquad.net and the IPv6 IRC routing server is at ircv6.openquad.net. Of course IRC uses TCP port 9007. Packet routing in IPv4 is on UDP port 40000 while packet routing on IPv6 is on UDP port 9011 (IANA approved!).

There are many advantages of Smart Groups over STARnet groups, but unlike STARnet, which can be run as a mini-server as part of ircDDBGateway, the Smart Group Server is independent and not part of QnetGateway. You won't be able to run both QnetGateway and a Smart Group Server on the same server as they both would require exclusive access to UDP 40000 and (if IPv6 is available) UDP 9011.

Greetings,

I am looking to switch to this format. I really like you can execute 36 commands. This will really help me out as a repeater owner. I run a lot of commands from the keyboard that would be easier from the radio.

But why I am writing this. I run dstarrepeater with split repeater. I run the voting system and have lots of RX sites. Can I still use this with your gateway? We use Starnet a lot also. I can not get it to work anymore in openquad or irc. I am looking a solution.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Will,

Thank you, I just need guidance in this process. I will download the QnetGateway to the raspberry pi where the STM32 is install. Thanks.

Hello Nomis,

The STM32 modem also support MMDVM software, so you should be able to use it with QnetGateway in Dstar mode.

Will / W4WWM

Hi Nomis,

Qnetgateway supports Icom radios with ITAP support (these radios use Icom's OPC-2350-LU USB/Serial cable), DV Dongles, V#1 of the DVRPTR board and any device supported by MMDVM, including ZUM boards and DVMegas.

Can I use QnetGateway for the MTR2000 Repeater with STM32 converted to D-Star? Where can I get if exist some resources. Thank you.

Thanks had to turn on the dplus support no problem linking to the repeaters in abq now I did have to add the W5MPZ repeater restarted the link and right in thanks working good?

Legacy systems only support REF linking on port 20001. Be aware that some repeater owners will block incoming link requests. If you're have problems linking, make sure the IP address is correct first, then check with the repeater owner.

You just need to edit your gwys.txt file in your QnetGateway build directory. Then you can either use ./qnadmin to restart (actually stop and then start) qnlink, or transmit an "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ F" to your hotspot. You could also use qnremote. This is how I would ask my hotspot operating on channel B to reread the gateways file: qnremote b n7tae f. Qnremote will take care of converting to uppercase and right shifting the "f" before sending it to your hotspot.

It can sometimes take tens seconds to complete the rereading task if you have enabled legacy linking authorization in ./qnconfig. This is because auth.dstargateway.org can be very sluggish at times. Also, please be aware that auth.dstargateway.org is a round robin server and will connect you to one of a number of different authorization servers. Each of these severs can return different lists of reflectors and repeaters, so it's a best practice to do what Elmer is doing by added desired nodes to his gwys.txt file manually.

When I add repeaters to the gwys.txt say like the W5MPZ repeater in ABQ what port do I use this is us trust gateway

2nd do I have to recompile ./qnadmin again ?

Well after two failed attempts of getting the OLED working something has changed in MMDVM doesn't seem to want to work anymore MMDVM has pushed a lot of updates and getting errors when compiling and looked on Johnathan Naylor site and he is aware of of should have backed up the image before doing a git pull?

It appears to work before he started adding all the FM analog stuff. There is a lot of of statements and there that when I looked at the MMDVM.ini that weren’t there before I’ll take a look at it works fine no issues just doesn’t work on the OLED so that would have been sometime last year thinking around mid 2019 or later

Your dmr.cfg file looks okay to me.

This morning we moved the irc servers. It's a long story why we did that, but there is an announcement on our "Whats New" webpage. Anyway, the new server hostnames are:

• rr.openquad.net is now ircv4.openquad.net
• rrv6.openquad.net is now ircv6.openquad.net

I pushed up new QnetGateway code that uses these names by default. You should pull that down, and also check your ircddb hostnames with ./qnconfig. If your still pointing to the old server name(s) you should change them.

Tom,

I am on a debugging kick this morning. ?Two oddities I am noticing are under voltage thunderbolt appears occasionally, and I always see a “Failed opening QnetGateway failed. ?I will send you my dmr.cfg with this email. ?I do not see anything amazing in the boot.log or other logs. ?Which logs would you like me to send?

This move will not affect REF, DCS, XRF or XLX linking to any of our reflectors, XLX307, XLX587, XRF735 or XRF757.

I just pushed up a new version. If you are using the default values for connection to our ircddb server, you will need to do an uninstall, git pull and install. If you are operating in dual-stack mode (IPv4 and IPv6) you just need to update your irc connection server hostnames with qnconfig and restart your system.

Tom,

This is the procedure i followed last time to get my MMDVM to work with my OLED and it has worked fine but since I did the get pull refresh something has gotten broken but this is what i did i just havent taken the time to rebuild it again let me know if this works for you Elmer W5SLG
