I have a beta up generating the .plist files for DExtra on Buster.

I haven't had a chance to test, but wanted to make it available.

Save your old .plist files and you can swap in the files generated.

One is only reflectors, the other is reflectors plus gateways.

The XRX### reflector names are for XLX reflectors running xlxd as modified by VK4TUX (limited number currently -- try XRX060 for testing).

Reply to this thread for feedback.

http://ar-dns.net  (to get plist files)

Dan,

Thanks for helping me find the secret handshake!

All four of the XREFs I wanted are now working just fine. Now all I need to do is copy the DExtra plist to a thumbdrive and upgrade the fleet.

Oh, and I need to organize and file away your instructions for the next time!

Best 73,
