Nope, I have only used the Linux client so far to do few echo tests. I
have a MMDVM-based hotspot running the official Pi-Star 4.1.6. I'm not
quite sure how I will get M17 plugged into that yet, but I've put it on
my stack of things to research (near the top!). I'm glad to see you have
the FT-818, a superb little piece of kit! I have an older 817nd, and I'm
like Smeagol with the ring about it, I will *never* sell it! :-D It's a
strange little piece of tech, I have awesome radios with big screens and
spectrum waterfalls and enough shiny filters/buttons/features to tempt a
magpie, but I keep on coming back to my little Yaesu FT817. I suppose
I'm a bit odd, but hey-ho! :-)


Cheerio,
