Pi-Star 3.4.17 is available as an upgrade,
this makes small changes to the service delay timers to improve
(reduce) the time it takes to startup the services.
Also added some code to the configure page, this now sets the
timers for MMDVMHost and DStarRepeater based on the kind of
modem, so the extra long 60 sec timers now only apply to the
boards that actually need that.
New images will be out this weekend that include these upgrades.

This is what John Naylor posted about the changes on the last
pi-star changes.
"Hi All
Happy New Year 2019. Do you realise that the first official
release of the MMDVM was on the 14th January 2016? It was just
D-Star and DMR back then, but from small acorns do big oaks
grow.
Apart from the steady trickle of bug fixes from people, I have
implemented two code updates that affect functionality of the
MMDVMHost and the YSF Gateway.
MMDVMHost
Chris Taylor G0WTZ suggested that it would be useful to be able
to reset the mode to idle when a hostspot was in one of the
other modes while waiting in order to save time. This has to be
done programmatically so I added a simple external command
function. This requires it to be enabled in the MMDVM.ini file
and to use a new program named RemoteCommand which is included
in the MMDVMHost repository. In the new MMDVM.ini you need to
set Enable=1 in the [Remote Control] section.
The command will be of the form "RemoteCommand 7642 "mode idle"
to set the mode to idle for example. Other acceptable modes are
"lockout", "d-star", "dmr", "ysf", "p25", and "nxdn". The 7642
must match the Port value in the [Remote Control] section.
YSF Gateway
The latest Wires-X update from Yaesu appears to have changed the
handling of Wires-X by removing case insensitivity. From what we
can tell, thank to Andy MW0MWZ, is that it now only works
correctly if the Wires-X reflector names are now forced to be
upper case. There is a new parameter in the [General] section
named WiresXUpperCase and the default is on. At some point this
will stop being an option and will become default behaviour. I
think this is a retrograde step from Yaesu.

**** If you haven't signed up at sin@groups.o yet please do so
to get the latest's changes as they come up.
I've had several call because their hotspots and repeaters were
having trouble. The sin@groups.io should have the posts and will
email if you have notifications enabled.
Hope everyone had happy Holidays and have enjoyed the warm
weather .
There will be several changes coming very soon on the SIN
network and with Pistar and MMDVM , be sure to sign up with the
group and stay current with the changes.
The w9win.net website runs behind on the updates and will be
only used for General information with the bulk of the mmdvm and
digital conversation and files going to the forum pltform.
Thanks for being a part of the evolution of amateur radio and
the digital voice and data testing.
