Attention: The YSF system is generally NOT working. The planned change to dvref.com that was scheduled for June 1st has already taken place and has broken the system due to a programming error in the MMDVM software. The MMDVM software expected the ysfhosts.txt file to contain fixed-length fields. The new host file from dvref.com has variable length fields. This means that until something is fixed the FusionTech YSF reflector IS connected to the WiRES-X room, but required manual intervention. This problem applies to Pi-Star, WSPD and possibly other hotspots. This will get updated when something changes. Work around: 1) Perform an update. 2) From the Admin page select the reflector and link. Note that the number of connections will likely show ‘0’.

The MNWis room is now FusionTech. No other changes have been made. Both the Room and the Reflector remain 21493.

When the repeater locks up,  it may transmit continuously, not transmit, or transmit for the duration of the time-out timer, stop, then start again. W0IH has started an Arudino project to detect a lock-up and automatically reset the repeater. Project to reset a locked-up repeater.
