Building a QnetGateway + MMDVMHost System

I'll assume you'll be doing this on a Raspberry Pi, but any modern Debian-based
|
|
system should work. It just needs a g++ compiler with version greater than 4.9.
|
|
These instructions assume you have configured your system with the locale, keyboard
|
|
and time zone. When choosing locale, always choose a "UTF-8" version of your
|
|
locale. And make sure you do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" before
|
|
your start. On a Raspberry Pi, you can do all of this with the configuration menu:
|
|
"sudo raspi-config".
|
|
|
|
If you are using a device that uses the GPIO header on the raspberry pi, you need to
|
|
disable the serial0 console in the /boot/cmdline.txt file: Remove the reference to
|
|
"console=serial0,115200" in this file. You should also disable bluetooth by adding:
|
|
"dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt" (without the quotes) to the end of the /boot/config.txt.
|
|
|
|
In your parent directory of your QnetGateway build...
|
|
|
|
1) Clone the QnetGateway repository: git clone git://github.com/n7tae/QnetGateway.git
|
|
Clone the MMDVMHost repository: git clone git://github.com/g4klx/MMDVMHost.git
|
|
Likewise if you want DMRGateway: git clone git://github.com/g4klx/DMRGateway.git
|
|
Likewise if you want YSFGateway: git clone git://github.com/g4klx/YSFClients.git
|
|
|
|
2) cd to the QnetGateway directory and configure it: cd QnetGateway; ./qnconfig
|
|
Make sure you set your callsign in the irc menu and set an mmdvmhost modem
|
|
in module A, B or C. Write out the configuration file before you leave qnconfig.
|
|
|
|
3) cd into the MMDVMHost directory and copy the ini file template:
|
|
cp MMDVM.ini MMDVM.qn
|
|
Edit the MMDVM.qn file. Set your Callsign and Id. Turn off duplex. Enable an
|
|
external display, if you have one. Set the Frequency(s). Set the Latitude and
|
|
other location info if you want. Change the log levels. I use DisplayLevel=2
|
|
and FileLevel=0. Set the Port on your modem. Disable all services you aren't
|
|
going to use. Very important: Set the [D-Star] Module. For UHF use B and for
|
|
VHF use C.
|
|
|
|
4) If you are using the DMRGateway cd to that directory and copy the ini file:
|
|
cp DMRGateway.ini DMRGateway.qn
|
|
Edit this new DMRGateway.qn file for your system.
|
|
|
|
5) If you are using the YSFGateway cd to that directory and copy the ini file:
|
|
cp YSFGateway.ini YSFGateway.qn
|
|
Edit this new YSFGateway.qn file for your system.
|
|
|
|
6) Next, your ready to install your software. For that, first move back to the
|
|
QnetGateway directory andstart the administration script: ./qnadmin
|
|
First you want to create you gwys.txt file. This file contains a list of
|
|
reflectors and repeaters you might like to link. Got into the gwys.txt menu
|
|
creation sub-menu with "gw" and select one of three different methods to
|
|
generate a gwys.txt file. You can add and/or delete records manually in
|
|
this sub-menu. Return to the main menu because your now ready to build and
|
|
install your system. Install your configured system with "is". This will
|
|
compile and install everything that you have configured.
|
|
|
|
7) There are many additional things that can be done in the administration menu.
|
|
Enter the log menu with "l" and from there you can view logs from each
|
|
running process.
|
|
|
|
8) DTMF is _not_ enabled by default if you want it, type "id" in the main menu.
