To all.
Please disregard my last question posted regarding the DVSwitch issue with
the status not updating on my phone. I got it figured out.

Just saw this. A quick check looks like has fixed the ?stuck? status of last
connection problem. So far so good.

Thanks

DVSwitch Mobile now getting status populated. 

However, connecting to a couple of hubs; for every node number that starts
with 5 (5xxx, 5xxxx), the Node Information field says ?Node information not
found?.
Nodes not staring with 5, the field looks normal.

Screenshot attached.

After the upgrade, the Status tab doesn't show anything.   I confirmed this

This is a minor issue.  Everything else with the DVSwitch Mobile app appears
to work the same as pre-upgrade.   However, it would be nice to get the
Status information to show up again.

Hi Larry,


Typically, a message like "Node information not found" indicates that the
astdb data is out of date and needs to be refreshed.  I'm not sure how this
is handled in the DVSwitch Mobile app??  This is probably a question for the
DVSwitch groups.io list; I don't know the answer.

Yeah, never mind. Getting the same thing on a V1.6.2-10 system. Should have
tried that earlier.
Thanks

Hi,

Yes, dosbox still works.  These instructions should get it going for you:

https://hamvoip.org/hamradio/motorola_programming/


What ssh client application are you using to access the RPi3 ??

Can someone confirm the pdf instructions  still work?

I???ve gone as far as using a new, latest image, hamvoip installation.

I???m able to ssh to the rpi3 and perform functions as usual.

During the bitter cold last 4-5 days. I decided to upgrade and start fresh.I
have a RPI3B+ and a SHARI UHF.It has been working flawlessly for 2-3 years,
and I had heard the new Archlinux-Asterisk buildimproved ECHOLINK and so on.
I also decided to remove the Black 8GB micro SD card of unknown origin and
replace it with a SANDISK 16GB Class 10 that I had on hand.
So I did a total renew as if the RPI-SHARI was brand new.. 
Subsequently I had 2 problems First I resolved.? The problem post renew, was
3.6.A,B touch tones would not decode on my Anytone Term-*R and a Radioditty
GD77... Yet all was fine with my Yaesu FT70D. 
I resolved it by following Patrick Perdue's Shari audio set up that is found
on Blind Hams.com The second problem is baffling me... When in the shack, I
monitor Blind Hams Talk group #506315 as our club W?VFW repeater I take care
of also monitors it. We have 4 blind hams in the membership. 

I am finding I connect using the *73<NODE>? then leave the ham shack -work,
food-sleep and come back later The ALLSTAR NODE is "REPEAT ONLY"This has
been going on for a few days. I decided to SSH into the RPI and issue the
command "uptime" to find that my RPI was rebooted any where between a hour
ago to 6 hours.. Time away can be 8-10 hours, SO I don't know how many time
it rebooted during my absences.? 

This is new since the "REBUILD". Same power pack as before.? My "Official"?
wall wart and my entire ham station is on a IBM 1000VA UPS- None of my 4
other computers in the ham shack are affected. 
Ir's almost like something is telling it to reboot. BTW I have a new in the
box RPI3B+ I opened the box and tried it. Same problem.. That's why I've
been fighting this for 4-5 days now..

Am I missing something? or need to configure something?
Alert- It just rebooted.. time between reboots -- about 2 hours.. 8:38 to
10:30.... 

If no response, I just received 3 new SANDISK ULTRA MicroSDHC cards in the
mail .. Next would be burn one. I do have my current SD card saved.. That
SANDISK came out of a phone where I removed it for a larger one. I did do a
hard slow format on it before loading new HAMVOIP...
