What do you need to add your DSTAR ( DEXTRA/DPLUS ), DMR plus/TGIF/HBLink reflector( brandmeister DMR is not supported ) or Fusion YSF reflector to peanut.

  • Install a Raspberry PI ( 3 or higher) with raspbian
  • Connect an AMBE3000 stick like DVStick30 or ThumbDV ( I do not support illegal/fake chips or software encoders!! )
  • I do NOT support software encoders!!
  • Install the AMBEServer software ( make sure the AMBEServer survive a reboot )
  • Open port 2460 UDP ( or other port ) on your firewall towards the raspberry PI
  • Make sure the admin of the reflector gave you permission to link Peanut to his reflector!!!
  • Make sure the AMBEServer and Reflector is behind a static public IP!! ( very important!! )
  • Sent me the following information

Hints/Tips:

  • Always check your AMBEServer status on the peanut dashboard. If the AMBEServer is not reachable for 15 days the link will be disabled by the system.
  • See room name convention https://www.pa7lim.nl/rooms/
  • Running a ( Fusion/DSTAR/DMR ) reflector on a raspberry PI is not going to work!
  • AMBEServer setup https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/ambeserver-install
  • Make sure the AMBEServer and Reflector is behind a static public IP!!
  • dyndns or other dynamic dns servers are not supported!
