Hey Everyone,
I reached out on the DVTool Yahoo group asking about using a DV3K on the freestar. The instructions for using the DVTool to use a dongle with freestar you have to use DVTool v2.0 but v2.0 doesn't work with the DV3K only 2.1 does. Does anyone have any tips on how to use the DV3K with freestar? Thank you all for your help with this in advance. 73

To get replies, please be more specific about how your DV3K is configured and the computer or device used to control it. Also, "DV3K on the freestar" is confusing. Are you referring to the FreeStar Callsign Server setting or are you attempting to route via a FreeStar node? It would help to know if you have successfully linked to a reflector and which one(s). You might also indicate which reflector protocol is of interest to you, i.e., DPlus (REF), DExtra (XRF/XLX), DCS, etc. The DV3K will not link to certain reflector types when using DVTool.

N6HKH I apologize for the delay in my response I thought I had my notification setup for this thread and apparently I did not.
I am using DVTool 2.1 on my Fedora machine which I just upgraded to Rel 27
When I open DVTool none of the xref or repeaters are listed in the drop down that provides the gateways that I can connect to.
I followed the guides that were provided online for how to connect DVTool to the freestar reflectors which involved editing the hosts file but the 2.1 version of DVTool no longer allows that hack to happen. I even attempted to just do it on my firewall as well but no love there either which leads me to believe that the DVTool must have it coded inside with the IP addresses.
I have been able to connect to the Dstar reflectors i.e. REF001 in all modules as well as a local repeater near me KD0LUX.
Thank you very much for your help with this and I'll gladly provide you with any other info that you need.
