There seems to be lots of confusion with W0CHP-PiStar-Dash (WPSD) and DMR
functionality. This document serves to hopefully clear that up.
Due to the (honestly, unexpected) growth and popularity of W0CHP-PiStar-Dash,
two wonderful users/fans1 have setup online support and chat communities for
users of my software:

After many, many months of development and testing,
W0CHP-PiStar-Dash now runs the Bullseye
version of Raspberry Pi OS.
W0CHP-PiStar-Dash will still install and
run on existing Pi-Star installations (running Raspberry Pi OS “Buster”).
however, if you’d like to run the more modern and supported Bullseye, you will
need to install the WPSD Disk
Image. It is based on Pi-Star
v4.1.6 with W0CHP-PiStar-Dash pre-installed.

Beginning October 5, the various resources hosted on the W0CHP.net network will experience intermittent, and some extended outages and downtime.
The network is moving to a different physical location, but will retain the same asynchronous fiber connections speeds, IPs, etc.
I anticipate the outages lasting no more than 48 hours. Once fully complete, I will update this post accordingly.

Greetings gracious hams! As some of you know, I operate the XLX493 Reflector. Currently, it supports both DMR and YSF protocols. However, I do not posses the necessary hardware for trans-coding the D-Star protocol.
And since my reflector has been getting more traffic lately, I’m putting a
feeler out there to other hams who run a D-Star-enabled reflector to see if
they’d be gracious enough to peer with reflector (more specifically, Module
E, since it’s the busiest module.
I see people on various Pi-Star forums/groups/etc., showing off how they display the dashboard on a monitor via an HDMI cable.
Neat. 🙄 🤦♂️
Fuck your HDMI cables; get with the times, bitches…
I keep/use a hotspot in my truck, and I’ve always wanted a way to manage/switch/connect/disconnect from reflectors, talkgroups, etc., hands-free; using only my voice.
I’ve begun work on a small project to allow me to do just that. And no, this is not an April Fool’s joke. 😆
Check it out…
For some time now, I’ve yearned for a way to quickly link to various XLX reflectors and modules on DMR, as well as unlink from modules to “mute” a busy reflector/module.
