MiniDV4 for Fusion (C4FM) on Ubuntu 14.04 - Mini howto

MiniDV4 for Fusion (C4FM) on Ubuntu 14.04 Mini howto.



Download software from http://dv4m.ham-dmr.ch/V1.6/Linux/ and stick it in it’s own directory.  cd to that directory.  Then do sudo apt-get install mono-complete and go get a cup of coffee…


... welcome back.  Do a chmod +x dv_serial


Insert the stick and run mono dv4mini.exe


The first thing you will need to do is input your DMR user number. If you don’t have a DMR user number you will need to go to http://xreflector.net/neu3/ and register for a DMR number becase the DMR/Dstar world doesn’t understand that hams (and Fusion users) use these weird things called call signs…


The software won’t connect to anything until you do this.  Also - be aware once you register it takes like 3 or 4 days for the US database to sync to the EU database - which is where the software looks to validate you.  Nowhere in any of the documentation is this mentioned…


The software should find the dongle, but if not make sure you ran the chmod command and that dv_serial is marked executable.  The .net UI will launch this executable that is actually a Linux executable and is the true guts of the software.  I understand that you can just run this with the generated .cfg file (that will be in your home directory) and it will work.


If the software still just loops and says “searching for dv4 minis” you can force the issue by going to the “expert settings” tab and telling the software to connect to a fixed IP of 127.0.0.1.

This will probably load a weird default config but you should be able to make changes.  Then restart the software to be sure it saved your settings.

The Walking Dead has reached an all-time low. I can't even express in words how disappointed I am with the season finale. It is without doubt the worst season finale we have seen to-date: absolutely nothing happened, nothing! How on earth did it take Negan 50 minutes to get to Rick's front door?! And, not only did nothing happen, but it rendered the entire season a complete waste of time. happy death day movie


It's seriously circling the drain. Rick spent half a season preparing for this fight, only to be is betrayed by the Scavengers. The second after it happened, I thought, WTF?! Two steps forward and another ten steps back. This is what this show has become now… The season finale could have made up for the entire season, but instead, it was worse than the season itself. And, tell me, what's going to happen in the next episode: Negan is going to walk in again and take all their guns – again – which will put us right back at square one. So did anything happen this season? NO. Could the Walking Dead get any worse? I DON'T THINK SO. Are people losing faith in this show? YES! JUST READ THE REVIEWS ONLINE.

Even my girlfriend, who is a hard core fan, tuned out half way through the season finale... The series has become so boring now, it needs to end before it becomes the worst shows on TV. From seasons 2-5, every episode finished on such an amazing cliff-hanger, and you had no recourse but to watch the next and the next and the next, and so on. Now, it's so far beyond redemption, I'm done!! I thought the Walking Dead crashed and burned over 2 seasons ago, but I held in there, hoping against hope, it would make a bounce back but all I have experienced is utter shame and disappointment! My loyalty to the Walking Dead, only stretches so far, and I have reached mine. the devils candy

I feel all the series has done, is pumped up the Saviours so much, when in reality, their nothing more than pussycats. They're not nothing interesting. They're not impressive. They're not even scary. They're just bullies; like I haven't seen that a million times on TV before. There the most uninteresting villains we have seen in the Walking Dead to-date. Moreover, Rick should be able to eat Negan for breakfast, after taking out the Governor and the Terminus Cannibals, Negan is nothing more than a wimp compared to them – but instead, we're objected to extremely bad writing, with no end in sight, when the stars of the show should be the Wolves. watch Avengers Infinity War online free



Instead, we're forced to watch a bunch of hillbillies, who run around, thinking their hot sh*t; all held together by Negan, who should be dead like 10 times over by now. Like recently for example, Sasha and Rosita had a sniper rifle and a nice cozy spot outside Negan's front door. All they had to do – is wait, patiently – for a nice, clean shot to kill him. Happy death day 2017
They had all the time in the world. No one knew they were there, they could have camped there for the next month, but instead, they gave it like 2 minutes, and then decided to charge in like fools to get themselves killed; and worse yet – Sasha then decides to kill herself… You don't come that far in a zombie apocalypse only to check now. Any arguments against this point is only encouraging bad writing – it's as simple as that. It would have made more sense for Negan to have just killed her, and enhanced his profile as a villain
