+# D-Star Site - MMDVMHost Split Controller
+
+MMDVMHost with D-Star split controller Name= registration support.
+Connects Raspberry Pi 3 sites to cloud DStarRepeater split controller.
+
+## What this does
+
+Patches MMDVMHost to send a NETWORK_REGISTER packet with a site name
+to the DStarRepeater split controller, allowing the controller to
+identify each site by name rather than IP address only.
+
+## Sites
+
+| Site  | Name  | Gateway Port | Local Port | Description        |
+|-------|-------|-------------|------------|---------------------|
+| ORNG  | ORNG  | 20013       | 20016      | Orange Portable     |
+| ORNG2 | ORNG2 | 20013       | 20017      | Orange TXRX         |
+
+## Cloud Split Controller
+
+- IP: 10.121.15.78
+- DStarRepeater split controller
+- ircDDBGateway / DStarGateway on cloud side
+
+## Fresh Install
+
+```bash
+# On fresh Raspberry Pi OS Lite
+git clone http://git.rdcclouds.com/ryan/dstar-site
+cd dstar-site
+sudo bash install.sh
+```
+
+Select site when prompted. Script handles everything:
+- Dependencies
+- Serial port configuration

+
+```bash
+cd dstar-site
+sudo bash update.sh
+```
+
+## Files Modified in MMDVMHost
+
+- `DStarNetwork.cpp` - Added writeRegister() sending 0x0B NETWORK_REGISTER packet
+- `DStarNetwork.h` - Added m_name member and writeRegister() declaration
+- `Conf.h` - Added m_dstarNetworkName member and getDStarNetworkName()
+- `Conf.cpp` - Added Name= parser and getter (via patch script)
+- `MMDVM-Host.cpp` - Pass name to CDStarNetwork constructor (via patch script)
+
+## Hardware
+
+- Raspberry Pi 3
+- MMDVM board on /dev/ttyAMA0
+- 115200 baud
+
+## Adding a New Site
+
+1. Create `sites/NEWSITE/site.conf` from existing template
+2. Add TXName/RXName to cloud DStarRepeater split config
+3. Run `sudo bash install.sh` on new Pi and select site
