Since Andy Taylor has refreshed Pi-Star with new versions, I loaded the Pi-Star Beta 4.3.3. And I noticed that I had an old bug where when the NextionDriver is stopped for the pistar-daily.cron job, it wipes out the USB port,…
If you’re DMR ID starts with a 1, Brandmeister is wanting you to put in a ticket to get it updated to one starting with a 3. I believe these are very early DMR adopters before they they came up…
For one, this is what I did to get it to work, but all these files need to be cleaned up as some of the definitions in PERL aren’t working. I think some of these projects are hobbled together and…
There is room for improvement, but I tried to comment what I could figure out and mirrored a dark mode to go along with the theming of AllScan. I’m no web coder and it’s only tested on Firefox which is…
KN2R’s Supermon can be added to ASL3 via the instruction from the Ham Radio Crusader at bottom or use his PDF link below. And though clean, there is a lot of functionality missing from Allmon 3. And this is where…
When Raspberry Pis became available again after the chip shortages, I purchased a couple four core Pi Zero 2 W boards to be our Pi-Hole DNS/Unbound servers. Previously the main board was a Pi Zero 2 W that had the…

Update Oct. 31, 2024: There is a bug with the YSFGateway Chip is using where it shows a 90% packet loss with every YSF station through DMR2YSF. A fallback to this version of YSFGateway gets things back working normally. July…
Amazon has the Retivis RA79 for $17.99, which is just a rebadged Quansheng UV-K5, and because of the Beken BK4819 chip there is a wide range of experimental firmwares enabling a lot of extra receive capability. Technically, this also opens…
A fascinating historical look into how receivers were actually transmitting weak signals, giving away what was being listened to. And a fascinating look into past wars and spy craft and how they exploited this receiver radiation leak.
Update Oct 26, 2024: Chip has changed the nightly update to a systemd service and changed the script to .wpsd-nightly-tasks. This is a hidden file, which begs the question of why he’s trying to hide it and move it from…
