At startup time, the reflector protocol drivers load up a properties list (plist) file of what reflectors they able to handle connections to. That list is made up of an internal list that’s shipped with Buster, and a live-downloaded list from ar-dns.net. They’re merged, with the ar-dns.net entries taking precedence.

Right now, Buster only uses the “DExtra Reflectors” list from ar-dns.net. That won’t include any of the XLX reflectors. There’s no real reason that I know of that would prevent Buster connecting, but it just doesn’t know about them. It was written before they existed.

You can hack Buster by adding an XLX reflector to the DExtraReflectors.plist XML file inside of /Applications/Buster.app. Anything else would require an update from me. The easiest thing would be for John to make the XLX reflectors available as a plist file as well, and then I can add a couple of lines to import it.

If you purchased recently the ThumbDV has been on sale for $20 off which is cheaper than our 5% for 5 Qty discount. Was it 1 order for 5?

Can anyone who has the ThumbDV connected to a Raspberry Pi explain or show how to connect a headset with Mic to communicate on the Pi with DStar?
Is this possible at all?

Regarding use of BlueDV for Windows on DMR . . . . .

The BlueDV for Windows ‘settings’ screen has several sections - be sure the section for DMR settings has the correct settings. 
          Page #6 in the pdf file I sent you shows the exact settings I use for DMR in the US.  I use Brandmeister – the following notes are for BM use.

NOTE: Of course, you must have a valid DMR ID in your BlueDV settings before trying to “transmit” using the DMR mode- 

Additional DMR related notes when using BM:

1)      On the main BlueDV screen, be sure to set “DMR” on the slider on the left side-center and also on the other slider - on the lower right side in the small panel.

2)      On the AMBE tab (right side panel),  ensure the “P/G” slider shows “G” (“P” = Private call, “G” = General Call”)

3)      Be sure you have “unlinked” the last DMR talk group by transmitting a very short burst on TG 4000 
       i.e., on the AMBE tab on the right side panel, input ‘4000’ into the text box for talk group number 
               then “transmit” a short burst – BlueDV audio will say “NOT LINKED”

4)      “Link” to the talk group you desire by entering the talk group number in the text box on the AMBE tab
       then “transmit” a short burst to force TG linking to occur.  I have frequently found activity on TG 91 and/or TG 310
       NOTE: You can check your audio by linking to TG 9990 and then transmitting

NOTE 1: When using Brandmeister, I have found it most helpful to monitor the TG I want by setting up a search at:
            https://brandmeister.network/?page=lh 
NOTE 2: Page #7 in the pdf file I sent you has multiple DMR nets listed –
