Recent TGIF changes and Pi-Star
DIR By: N1HRB

---------------------------------------------------------
I had my hotspot programmed for both TGIF and BM and it was
working beautifully through the DMR Gateway. TGIF recently made
some changes and made the popular TGIF TG31665 "secure". In
order to get on the secure TG I was required to change my
Pi-Star/Configuration/Expert MMDVM Host settings in the DMR
Network box to "TGIF.NETWORK" and enter my TGIF Password. When
I applied the changes I lost all the previous BM programming and
was no longer able to use my hotspot. Fortunately, I made a
backup copy of my original Pi-Star SD chip and was able to get
back on with my DMR Master showing both TGIF and BM networks.
BM is now working and I'm not sure about the TGIF network. I DO
know my callsign does not appear on the TGIF.Network Monitor.
Bummer! I really liked that TG. With the NEW TGIF changes, is
there a way to keep my original dual network programming while
being able to log into the secure TG31665 so that I may enjoy
the TGIF 31665 again??

Through the DMR Gateway. There's the clue.

And there's the problem. You were using the Gateway, so the
change(s) you need to make should be made in the
Pi-Star/Configuration/Expert/DMR GW settings, not in the MMDVM
area. You basically told MMDVMHOST to stop talking to/using the
Gateway and start talking just to TGIF.

Yes, and very easily in fact. Go into the
Pi-Star/Configuration/Expert/DMR GW settings, look for the
Password=passw0rd line under the stanza for the TGIF network,
and change passw0rd to the secure password you were given.
Apply changes. Done.

I tried that and it didn't work. I'm wondering if my problems
are associated with this new post:
HTML https://tgifnetwork.createaforum.com/new-board/new-stock-versions-of-mmdvmhost-with-dmrgateway-has-bugs/?topicseen
Before, my TGIF network wasn't working and NOW, both TGIF and BM
are not working. My Pi-Star Dashboard displays my key up but,
neither TGIF.Network "Last Heard" and BM, "Last Heard" shows my
key up sop I'm not connecting with either. In other words, my
hotspot is dead. :'(

Did you try that on the original card or the backup one? If the
former, did you remember to set the mmdvmhost setting(s) that
you changed back to what they were? Or, even better/easier:
Restore from a Pi-Star backup (you do those in addition to the
rpi-clones, right? ;) )?
As far as the bugs mentioned in that post, I can assure you that
the latest mmdvmhost communicates just fine with Phil's modified
Gateway. I have two hotspots both running 4.1.5 with his
Gateway as proof of that. So I'm inclined to believe that it's
not your binaries but, rather, something in one of your config
files to blame.
