Re: PS for XC-3006

Hello Dan. I use a RugRunner 4005 hooked up to a Powerwerx SS-30DV. This PS is connected to a UPS. Hope this helps.
PS for XC-3006

Daniel L. Srebnick
 

I picked up a couple of the LX3JL/XC-3006 units from a ham who was not
using them.

What is the recommended current for the power supply used by the XC-
3006? Will 1 amp @ 12v suffice or is a more capable supply
recommended?

Is there a recommended power plug part number?

Thanks.

I after a while noted in Blue DV there are 2 places to make sure you have the same correct com / serial port. Randy

Hi everyone and Thank you for any help you can provide.

I have the DVMEGA DVstick30 setup and working on 2 different laptops using the Blue DV program but when I set it up on home PC it can't seem to find the right comport.

I've tried all the available comports but the program doesn't recognize them. In Blue DV program it lists port 3 or 5 but neither work for me.

What am l missing? And again Thank you

I understand that there is no support for the Android apps you have developed. 😊

 I just wanted to check that I haven't overlooked the obvious.

With regards to Blue DV and BlueDV AMBE (early access), is YSF the only connection mode capable to connect to

XLX301 in Australia?

 Also, I gather users can't initiate an update to their hosts files themselves as they may be hard coded to each version that is released?

Basically I would just like to know if there a way I could add a DSTAR repeater to these Android apps? -eg VK1RWN

We concurrently use this repeater to assist a local digi net held by Rob Smith VK2HR -XLX301,

with the Blue DV and Blue DV AMBE and Peanut to slowly familiarise non starters to be interested in digital modes other than DSTAR.

Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Re: trying to get my THumb-dvs to run on my pi?

I had problems powering more than one ThumbDV from a PI 3 (not 3 b plus) without a powered hub. This after including max_usb_current in /boot/config.txt, which I believe is no longer relevant with newer boards.

I could use one at a time, but the first wouldn't be recognized anymore when I installed the second. A powered hub fixed this problem. I'm currently using those dongles on an old Mac Mini, which is now running Debian. It works fine on that host without a hub. My XLX reflector is connecting to AMBE remotely. My system gets very little D-Star traffic compared to other modes (mostly Allstar and EchoLink these days, with occasional DMR or YSF), so the transcoders don't have much to do lately. It seems to work fine when it's needed, though.

My Pi would go into a boot loop with the ThumbDV in its USB port directly, but boots fine with it in a powered hub. Go figure. Maybe not all Pi's have the same power available. Mine's a Pi 3.

I think Bryan probably has better information to give you.

Re: DMR PLUS

Karl Renter
 

That's correct, you use a radio to connect to a dmr repeater.  With bluedv you are using the internet and can only connect to talk group of choice.

I am trying to use the Blue DV on DMR +. Have the registration done and don't see anything like local repeaters, but all ISPC-2 links with a state.
I live in Central Texas and see there is an ISPC-2 Texas but it's not in the link. I did all the updates but same listing.
I have tried Phoenix, Minnesota, Illinois, Quadnet and others but don't work well.

Looking for thoughts on how to add a local repeater that maybe DMR if possible in config file, or what is required and 
password if needed for the ISPC-2 Texas to add it to the configure file, or a good repeater that will provide good DMR +
or if need to switch back to DMR but still have the same repeater list.

Maybe reflectors, but don't know anything about them or how to set it up. I enjoy Talk Group 3148 and other local ones here.

Any thoughts or help is appreciated. Randy N5YTT

You cannot connect to a repeater directly. You will have to find what server it is connected to.  Then link to the server and dial up a talkgroup that the repeater is listening to.
