Well......
We do not park the repeater on ANY reflector. Our policy allows open linking. I know, it's strange to let the user actually decide. As hardly any repeaters allow this, I can understand your assumption. It's much easier to just write a cron job to link/unlink every few hours. Please be assured that all other reflectors work just fine for us. Gary KB2BSL WG2MSK repeater From: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com [mailto:dstar_digi...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Evans F. Mitchell KD4EFM Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 1:56 AM To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] REF001C weird linking issue I would suggest that since REF001 is having some issues, it might be time to look at using OTHER reflectors that are out there... Day In and Day Out, I see at least 10 emails about not being able to make it into REF001. Yes, 1C is the international CALLING Channel, but there are some 25+ reflectors out there with 3 channels each that are barely being used... I think we are getting thinned out a bit much with the RPTR / REFLECTOR in each hams backyard syndrome here... NOT that its a bad thing, but there are other reflectors out there, while Robin and his testers go to work on figuring out what ales REF001.... use another, see if this issue is cropping up on another box.... don't bash it, test it out.... if more then one system shows the same issue, then we know there's a limit of operational means to the d-reflector program and Robin will get it fixed. just saying....

I have tried with echo "REF001CL" >/dstar/tmp/link-b and with the radio UR set correctly. All attempts yield the busy message. No other reflectors seem to be an issue, just this one. Any advice, or a pointer to a D-Plus discussion group would be appreciated. Thanks Gary KB2BSL WG2MSK repeater
