Edit DPlus_Hosts.txt and comment out or replace the old REF001 and replace it.

#REF001 192.3.202.54

On Compass Linux the file is located in /usr/share/opendv

You might want to do this for all of the REFxxx reflectors.

Jim;


    thanks for getting this working ... I'll be playing around with your image in the next few days. I'm downloading it as I type. It appears to be on a slow connection as it's showing 43mins remaining. No worries there as long as it completes I'm good with that.


    I run my Thumb DV on my PC;  Windows 7 - works perfectly with WinDV Node -


 looking forward to testing it on the Pi -I have a spare one at the moment, as I upgraded my DV Mega hotspot to a Pi3.

I'll be sure and followup with my results ...


thanks 73's

You should be able to select NETWORK and the IP address and PORT of your AMBEserver.  No additional software (beyond AMBEserveer) required.

I gave you a call there, but you had disconnected. REF001 has a has a habit of going offline from time to time. REF030C is pretty active.

Most reflectors have a dashboard such as ref030.dstargateway.org so you can see who is linked.

To link you want to put REF001CL in the UR field. Once linked switch back to CQCQCQ.
