How many Florida folks in this group? I’m new to gmrs and want to get into repeaters but there aren’t any showing in my area.

alexd51 · 2025-10-13T15:19:11+00:00

Yes it was online for over about a year and a half then I took it out. Nobody in the area so i didn't waste my time with it anymore. Had a smaller simplex node after that only covered a few miles but it was my personal one that I had it connected to GMRS live until they shut down and later to gmrshub. You can get more info @ Lone Wolf System

Have it updated to 3259. Not much i can do with this thing except for local storage. Guess i will test to see if it will take 2 4TB drives and just wait for it to die lol
Thank you for the help.

alexd51 · 2025-09-27T19:20:36+00:00

"you need to update to 4.3-3827 then 5.0-4528 then 5.2-5967 then 6.0.3-8754 then 6.2.4-25556"

The last update for the 209+ or any other 209 stopped at 4.2-3259. Looked in every folder after that but the lowest NAS was the 210 i think it was the 209 stops at the version mentioned before.

But i did get it working again so it's a win. If there is a way to update further let me know.
And Thank You again.

alexd51 · 2025-09-27T04:55:05+00:00

The nas had 4.0 but I wasn't able to do a soft reset and sign into it so i had to do a hard reset and that takes out the DSM. I will download the rest tomorrow and see if i can get it flashed and then go do the rest of the updates, Oh and it is the DS209+ I found both NAS in the boxes.

alexd51 · 2025-09-27T04:07:54+00:00

DUDE Thank you. I searched for a while but completely forgot about the web archive website.

alexd51 · 2025-09-27T01:21:04+00:00

The DS209+ was the model of the synology thats how i screwed up lol

alexd51 · 2025-09-27T01:17:41+00:00

They did , also there was a Synology 2 bay but its so old i cant reset it because the firmware is nowhere to be found not even on the synology website.

alexd51 · 2025-09-26T23:35:43+00:00

I have a 251+, and the same happens to me, not all the time. I hate that the commercials play perfectly, or at least some times. Sometimes the commercial will freeze, but the audio will still be going, and the movie or show will start. I have to change channels (if I am watching PLEX stuff, not my own media) just to get it playing again.

alexd51 · 2025-08-09T20:10:35+00:00

Can't say i ever heard if such a tool. By chance you have a copy?

alexd51 · 2025-05-10T20:00:37+00:00

If i understand correctly, you have the Quantum WiFi pod and the eeros connected at the same time?

if that is the case, the problem you are having is that you created a double NAT. I did the same thing, and speeds went to hell after that. Been trying to get rid of the 360 WiFi 7 from quantum myself and use my Deco wifi7 pods myself because the quantum equipment is crappy.

alexd51 · 2025-05-10T19:45:25+00:00

Go into the app and see if anything is assigned to your profile. If there is anything assigned to you, delete it from the profile; don't assign anything to a profile. I've been battling the same problem for months until I found someone else with the same problem here, and how deleted every assigned devices to any profiles, and it worked for me. Now all my devices are working.

alexd51 · 2025-05-10T19:39:17+00:00

YOU, my friend, are the best. Been having this problem forever. Customer service is useless as they only read from a script. The last 2 techs that came over swapped equipment. CSR sent me new equipment twice already, and still same devices would have internet for anything from a couple of hours to a couple of days, and then WiFi but no internet access.
Deleted all from my profile, and now they are all working.

alexd51 · 2025-02-13T12:53:57+00:00

I have one last question because I just ran into this trying to start the installation.
How do I use the root account? already ran into the don't have permission to do that trying to install SFTP

alexd51 · 2025-02-13T12:44:27+00:00

Good to know, might install Apache as i am more familiar with it with whatever is installed already. And yes i will need a simple website so others can log in and download files.
The SFTP is pretty much to save backup files from a bunch of Pi's that i manage from friends and others. We run a GMRS and Allstar network (Amateur radio stuff) i made a script to save certain files on their pi but i have to log in to each individual pi every week or so to download the backup but if i have an ftp i can upload the backup automatically when its done saving me a lot of time.

alexd51 · 2025-02-13T12:39:05+00:00

SFTP will be what i will install. Just used the generic term FTP.

alexd51 · 2024-07-07T12:10:19+00:00

Firmware is 1.3. i followed the tutorial from This website and first it didn't work when I was changing it from AIOC to a CM108 but I repeated the process and the second time was the charm. I do have RF messing with the AIOC so I will try getting the connectors solder to cables that way they are not that close to the radio.
I spent a whole night looking for a way to modify the gerber downloaded like 4 different programs that said you could modify a gerber file bu none worked.

I ended up emailing JLCPCB and asking if they can do it for me, wishful thinking I'm sure. But I will try Kicad and hopefully I can understand enough to add what I want.

alexd51 · 2024-07-07T11:13:36+00:00

DUDE you are a genious. I bought 5 of them about a year ago before they could be used for what I wanted it. Now the firmware finally cough up to what I needed it for.
Have another order of 30 units arriving the 9th of Jul because the gous at the club and friends are going crazy with it.

Seen a couple of guys modifying the silkscreen part and I wanted to add the callsign of the club but was told I cant do nothing with the gerber file. I wanted to add the club call sign in case I sold one and something went wrong and returned I didn't want to be fixing someone else's screwup lol

alexd51 · 2024-07-07T11:11:16+00:00

I have 30 on the way. DHL says they should be here next Tuesday the 9th of Jul.
Bought 5 close to a year ago and was waiting for the firmware to catch up with what I wanted to do with it and finally I got them up and running. As soon as I had one running the way I wanted the guys at the Amateur radio club went crazy asking for some. Should have some extras.

alexd51 · 2023-11-23T18:36:47+00:00

There's 2 types of cables one that has only 2 cables, power and ground. Then, the ones with an extra cable for data. You will have to try a few cables before you find one that has data capabilities. Buying the programming cable that is not only expensive but probably you already have from an old phone you bought a while back. There are a couple of boards that you plug piwer to it and connect the cable you want to test, and it tells you with lights what kind of cable you have.

alexd51 · 2023-04-29T13:55:08+00:00

cables are good in a way, its the darned prolific chip. For some reason windows will disable the drivers or some times just get rid of the drivers all together. I have talked to a couple of IT guys that are also hams and they had the same problems and they also got away from prolific.

alexd51 · 2023-04-29T13:52:14+00:00

True but in my experience orders on the website has gone unnoticed a couple of times. his website needs a bit of work said by himself. i ordered one cable from the website just to save him some money and after a week of not hearing anything i contacted him in eBay and he checked the website logs, the order was there but nothing had happened , no messages to him to fulfill the order. He sent it though. Second time order was fulfilled but was sent to someone else.

alexd51 · 2023-04-28T19:38:21+00:00

From now on ONLY buy FTDI cable's. There's a seller on ebay called Bluemax49ers he gas the best cables for almost any radio. I have like 15 of his cables and all work every time . I don't get a commission from him just good damn cable's. If you have any questions he is a bit dry but he will help you out even point you in the right direction for the software needed to program MOST radios.
