Question from NET : Default Behavior for Hotspots
DIR By: K5MRE
Date: April 19, 2019, 9:50 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
We recently made a change in which hotspots no longer auto-join
talkgroup 31665 when they connect (unless they were previously
connected there).
I wanted to get a quick temperature of where folks sit on that
topic.
Thanks

Hi Michael,
While I can certainly see the benefits of auto connecting to
31665, personally, I prefer 4000 over it.
31665 can get pretty busy. Keying in a 4000 disconnect via RF
in order to shift over to another talkgroup can
be...challenging...at times. And getting to the self-care page
on the server website to force a shift isn't always
possible/practical.
Side question/possible workaround: Can one override whatever
"Default behavior" is selected on TGIF in the Pi-Star
configuration with an Options="StartRef=4000" (or
StartRef=31665) line?

Yes - You can use the following line:
Options=StartRef=31665;
... to replicate the old behavior.
The syntax is important (including the ; on the end).

I like it. Please keep it on 4000.
