DMRGateway-6 Simplified

[center]Complete & Easy DMRGateway-6 Beginner Guide
(Updated for 2025 – works with 7-digit talkgroups!)[/center]
---------------------------------------------------------
What is DMRGateway-6 and why do you need it?
[*]Stops other networks bleeding into the one you are using
[*]Stops the hotspot randomly changing talkgroups
[*]Fixes the “busy light on but no audio” problem
[*]Fully supports 7-digit talkgroups (TGIF Prime, MNET, etc.)
What are 7-digit talkgroups? (Super simple)
Normal talkgroups = up to 6 digits (example: 31665)
7-digit talkgroups = 1 000 000 to 9 999 999 (used by TGIF and
MNET)
Common ones you will see:

[/table]
How to Install (First Time)
Open Pi-Star → Expert → SSH Access (or use PuTTY)
Copy and paste ONE LINE at a time:
sudo su
rpi-rw
sudo git clone
HTML https://github.com/ve3zrd/DMRGateway-6
cd DMRGateway-6
make clean
make
make install
./GWConfig.sh 0
(Use 0 unless you run multiple hotspots – then use 1, 2, etc.)
How to Update (if you already have it)
cd /home/pi-star/DMRGateway-6
rpi-rw
sudo su
git pull
make clean
make
make install
./GWConfig.sh 0
The Menu – What to Choose (99% of people do this)
When the menu appears:
[*] First time only → choose 1 (creates password file –
just follow the questions)
[*] Then choose 4 → “Install DMRGateway & Update
/etc/dmrgateway - 8 Digit Translation Mode”
[*] When it asks “RawNet” → type 0 and press Enter
[*] Choose 8 to quit
Then reboot:
sudo reboot
How to Use It on Your Radio (8-Digit Mode)
Program these in your codeplug:

[tr][td]XLX[/td][td]–[/td][td]9007 (turns XLX
on)[/td][td]9007[/td][/tr]
[/table]
You only key the long number once – the hotspot remembers which
network you picked forever!
After a Pi-Star Update
Big Pi-Star updates sometimes overwrite DMRGateway-6.
Fix in 30 seconds:
--- Code ---
cd /home/pi-star/DMRGateway-6
./GWConfig.sh 0
--- End Code ---
→ pick 4 again → done!
Sample Network
The following is a typical rule set for Network 5 in 8 Digit
Translation Mode
TGRewrite0=2,15000001,2,1,999999 // Talk groups
15000001 to 15999999 = 1 to 999999 Max 6 digits
TGRewrite1=2,1000001,2,1000001,899999 //Allows use of all 7
digit talk groups after Locking (use of any 8 Digit TG)
PCRewrite0=2,15000001,2,1,999999
SrcRewrite0=2,1,2,VE3RD,9999999
