repeater in hotspot mode not visible on aprs.fi page
Re: repeater in hotspot mode not visible on aprs.fi page
APRS password is build once you apply the configuration.
You better look at the APRSGateway log file, to see the status of the connection.
All of this has to be done on your pi-star, no one can do it for you, unless you configure your router to open an access to you LAN.
If you want, you can send me (privately, email is available on QRZ.com) a backup of your pi-star configuration and logs, just to check if something looks wrong. You can build that from the pi-star web interface, IIRC.
Cheers.

Which pi star release do you have on it?TA1DRE wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 4:40 pmI couldn't see where to enter the aprs password in the hotspot. I have made a hotspot with mmdvm cards before and I still use them and there was no such problem with them. I would be very happy if you could try it for me. with my pagesSA0BUX wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 4:25 pmI haven't entered any aprs password for my HAT hotspots, but I can try running a pi-star only connected to a OpenGD77 radio to see what happens.F1RMB wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 4:07 pmYes, few years ago all the APRS connection has been moved to the dedicated APRSGateway software.
Of course, in its configuration, you also need to enter your own Ham "password" to connect aprs.fi (I think there is an editor in the Expert "tab" fro the APRSGateway).
You can also take a look at the APRSGateway log (located in /var/log/pi-star/) to check if the connection is successul or not.
I think it should work out of the box.

OK.TA1DRE wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2024 3:17 pmThank you for your answer. I understand what you say, but I do not want the radios to send daprs signals via hotspot. Aprs.fi also shows the location coordinates of hotspots made with mmdvm cards purchased from Chinese sites. Can't we see this hotspot we created with opengd77 on the aprs.fi map?
In which case you should post your question to the PiStar forum
https://forum.pistar.uk
.. as this has nothing to do with OpenGD77, becasue the OpenGD77 radio / firmware is only acting as a modem and had no APRS functionality
Re: repeater in hotspot mode not visible on aprs.fi page
I think there is a bug in 4.2.1 , normally is the ESSID number added to the callsign in the update packets but it seems that it only use the callsign.
In my tests I can see several hotspots updating my main number.
"MMDVM Unknown" is the one connected to a OpenGD77 radio and a Pi with 4.2.1
"MMDVM HS Hat" is my main hotspot which use 2400354 without extension and 4.1.8
I will change the test setup to use 4.1.8 later to verify the difference
But as said earlier this is something for pi-star forum.

Re: repeater in hotspot mode not visible on aprs.fi page
After some more testing it seems that it's a limit after ESSID = 15 so everything above that goes to the callsign without any extension in aprs.fi.SA0BUX wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2024 11:02 amI think there is a bug in 4.2.1 , normally is the ESSID number added to the callsign in the update packets but it seems that it only use the callsign.

Re: repeater in hotspot mode not visible on aprs.fi page
First of all, I would like to thank all the masters (F1RMB, SA0BUX, VK3KYY) who replied to me. I found the source of the problem. As you know, since there is no DMR server in Turkey, I have to use servers from other countries. I used the Bulgarian server in my first duplex hotspot with my mmdvm card, but I chose the UK server in the hotspot I made with opengd77, thinking it would be better. Finally, when there was nothing left to do, I chose the Bulgarian server instead of the UK in the configuration and the process was completed, now the hotspot appears on the map. I think there is a problem with the server. I'm so sorry to take up your time, but it was a good experience.
