Re: P25Reflector install help...
Got it, thanks. I'm using the instructions from 927.org. I'm surprised I've gotten as far as I have, given all the typos (periods instead of forward slashes, mixing cases, etc.) that slowed me down by a couple of hours...

Hi,
I'm having some difficulty while installing
the whole package (G4-somebody/dvswitch) using
the
927.org
instructions (which is riddled with typos);
I've read everything I've been able to google,
both here and elsewhere, but I'm stuck on a
concept or two:
What (and WHERE or WHO) determines what your
newly installed P25 reflector's TG ID is?
I probably will choose not to publish the TG
(at first, at least) but where do I give it
its name? I saw a thread where Steve says some
ppl are using the same #
as their chosen DMR TG (which already exists;
I'm trying to link them)?
Thanks,

Re: P25Reflector install help...

Steve N4IRS
Bob,
So, that's the issue. If you use Pi-Star, the host file comes from
Andy Taylor MW0MWZ (The author of Pi-Star) Andy starts with the the
host file from Jonathan G4KLX which is here < https://github.com/g4klx/P25Clients/blob/master/P25Gateway/P25Hosts.txt>
There is nothing sacred about the file. Pi-Star give the user the
ability to add custom entries. If I dont use Pi-Star I can edit the
host file to my liking.
Pi-Star is a "repackaging" of the software from G4LKX. That is not
to say Andy does not add value. He certainly does and I would
venture to say that without Pi-Star (or something like it) DV
hotspots would not have taken off like it did.

Michael,
In Analog_Bridge.ini change:
minTxTimeMS = 2500
to
minTxTimeMS = 3000
The message is coming from BM (Very loud)
If this does not solve the issue, we will go the next step.

Is there something in the DVSwitch stack of software, or maybe in
