But first things first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re already running a 4.1.0 RC (release candidate), please logon to your pi-star device via ssh and issue the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo pistar-update\nsudo pistar-upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re running a pre-4.1.0 system, you&#8217;ll need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Backup your configuration<\/li><li>Download the 4.1.0 image from the Pi-Star website<\/li><li>Unzip the downloaded file<\/li><li>Burn the .img file to an SD card<\/li><li>Copy the zip (don&#8217;t unzip) of your configuration backup to the SD card<\/li><li>Boot the new image<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The bigger news today is that Andy has pushed the new <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/g4klx\/YSFClients\/\">G4KLX YSFGateway<\/a> code into the Pi-Star image.  This means that you can now directly connect to <a href=\"http:\/\/xlx020.k2ie.net\">XLX020<\/a> and change reflector modules from your Fusion radio using Wires-X Passthrough commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll have to enable the <strong>WiresX Passthrough<\/strong> slider on the Yaesu System Fusion Configuration section of the Pi-Star web gui.  If you have an FT-70DR or another radio with an upper case only display, enable the <strong>UPPERCASE Hostfiles<\/strong> slider in the same section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process may vary a bit between radio models.  The general idea is that you first initiate a Wires-X sequence to connect to XLX020.  Next, you exit Wires-X mode and initiate another Wires-X sequence to connect to the module of your choice.  If you just want to talk on module A, the 2nd connect is not necessary as you&#8217;ll default to module A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some radios, such as my FT-70DR, do not pull down a room list and you have to manually enter the module number.  In that case, use <strong>04001<\/strong> for module A, <strong>04002<\/strong> for module B, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have fun with this great new feature that makes the most of Pi-Star, XLX, and Yaesu Fusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>73 de K2IE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you thought that the big amateur radio news of the day is that Andy Taylor has pushed Pi-Star 4.1.0 to general release, I&#8217;ll have some other news for you in a moment.
