G3 and QNet?

 

Any chance that QNet could be overlayed with an existing Icom G3 installation. Some of our gateways have hundreds of registered USTRUST users we do NOT want to orphan!

I have a Installation document that lets us add a DL5DI OpenDV with G3 that let’s us keep the registration piece, turn off dplus. Sure the gateway now looks like a hotspot, but users like the simpler command set.

I’ve installed g2_link on many G2 and G3 systems and it works but users don’t understand the split dashboards and two different command sets.

Are you asking if QnetGateway or QnetIcomGateway could be used as the repeater part of a G3 repeater installation?

Terry,

I’ll look - I know I just read something about that.

I think it was Adrian (VK4TUX) who came up with the overlay for ircddbgateway and G3.? You might ask him.

Personally, I think that the G3Trust Admins should come up with a method to port users into and drop the local registrations.? It's really probably just pretty straightforward SQL to bring the login information over to regist, and update the registered gateway in the master tables.

I know of a person who left their G3 system online, but only in a web/registration capacity, and then used a pi with QnetIcomGateway to control the repeater. We do not support running it on any operating system other than Debian, which is an obvious issue as Icom has chosen CentOS as their operating system for their G2/G3 software, but it can be done as per the previous message references, for those who want to go through the work of ensuring the necessary libraries are installed. Its worth nothing those instructions are very old and likely not entirely accurate any longer, as some other dependencies have likely been added since that was written.

I decided not to run G3 because there was already another repeater in the area stuck on G3, with registration online. ?So I built mine up on a raspberry Pi 4 with QnetIcomGateway which has been working very well. ?Yes it looks like a dongle, but it gives us freedom to connect to any reflector system (REF, XRF,DCS, XLX), which the other repeater cannot do. ?The two repeaters compliment each other.?

To access REF, the stations still need to be registered with the US Trust I believe, which I am.
I am considering bringing a 1 G DD module online. ?Anything I need to know before attempting this?

Many thanks

Jeff

that describes how to install gcc version 7 on Centos 7.

To get back to your original question, I don't see any reason why you can't do with QnetIcomGateway what you did with ircDDBGateway, that is, keep the registration part and install a new gateway.

There is a very active branch on QnetIcomGateway called "mega" in which I am pushing all the latest developments from QnetGateway. Once I know that this branch actually works, I will merge it with master, but since I don't have access to an Icom stack, I have to wait until someone give me some feedback. I would be happy to schedule a real-time meeting where I could provide immediate updates based on problems encountered while using this branch. One think to investigate is how much support for sqlite3 there is on Centos.

To answer another question in this thread, QnetIcomGateway does not support the 1.2GHz DD module. I would have to reverse-engineer ircDDBGateway to figure out how this module works, because I don't think KI4LKF left me with much development for this module.

Thanks Tom,

I will not order the DD module right now and go another route.

I’m running an Icom stack with only a B module which is still in test mode. ?Let me know if that would meet your test needs.
