GMRS Live Blog – GMRS Live

An area where we can tell you what is happening...

When posting on Facebook we found trolls who think it their mission to bash GMRS Live and myself. With it being the biggest GMRS network I can understand haters hating. I have decided to stop posting updates and such on Facebook. The network is strong and getting bigger everyday. It takes a lot to keep it running and I just don’t have the time or energy to waste it with the trolls. From now on this is the update chain. Network issues will be placed here. There will be no commenting from me on Facebook.

I will just drop things in here. Hopefully I catch spelling or grammer errors but if not please deal with it. This is not a novel to be critiqued.

GMRS Live is a radio linking service. The support email is for ‘REGISTRATION’ and ‘Account’ issues and or changes only. There will be no support for node setup, tweaking and Supermon or such things. The Facebook group is a great ‘peer to peer’ network and there are plenty of user willing to help out.

It has been implied or remarked that I am critical to the users. It is not my intention. I just sometimes give more information then is required.

05/01/2024 – 09:00 DYNS DNS Server updated

The updates to the DYN-DNS Server are complete. When we first added the server it was tied to the Registration Server. Any node that registered got added to the DNS Server. If a node was already on the server the ip was just updated. This was good being that if for some reason your node went offline your DNS would still work to the last known ip address. When we moved the server to its new updated home we didn’t like how it just kept everything for years even if a user wasn’t active any longer. We began just having currently connected nodes on the DNS server. This meant that if your node went offline then your DNS would no longer work. If it was a problem with asterisk then you could not use the DNS to remote in and you would be dead in the water. With our upgrades to the Registration Server we know put the information in the database and that is where the DNS Server pulls from. It searches the Database for ‘Active’ nodes and adds the information (if available) to the DNS. It does this every minute of every day. So if your ip changes or your node goes offline for some reason then the server will point to the last known ip address for that node. Each node is independent of each other.

04/12/2024 – 08:30 VOIP Live Server Update

Disk space was getting short so I updated the server. Instead of taking it off line to just do the disk I figured might as well do everything while it was down. I doubled the.. CPU, Drive Space and Memory. This upgrade should carry us for awhile. It took longer then expected. Most all extension that were online before the upgrade are back on now. Everything appears fine. 10:57est

Install and configure a RYSNC server. Will send individual user created node audio files. User will be able to create a file saying their node/HUB number and name instead of the standard Node 7 0 0 connected.

Work on new node list updater continues and this feature will be included.
