Feature Request: XLX allow initial connect to module 4000 #101

Closed K2IE closed 3 years ago

K2IE commented 3 years ago

I have a requirement for a bunch of folks on a multiprotocol multi access method system to connect to a particular XLX reflector, but remain disconnected from a module until one is explicitly selected via private call.

Currently, if no Module is defined in the XLX Network stanza, the connection ends up on Module D of the XLX in question. However, that module is very active and can also be accessed via BM, TGIF and other methods. Unless the user takes care to disconnect from the XLX module via PC to 64000 prior to initiating a call via another network they can miss transmissions where they are listening if XLX hits the hotspot first.

Perhaps an option where:

Module=

would exhibit the behavior I describe, while the lack of a Module parameter would still connect to the default as now.

Please consider. This would be highly useful.

Hmm...seems to actually be there using an embedded blank. Will test further.

I will close this issue. I've confirmed that the requested behavior exists and that no change is necessary. I suggest explicitly documenting the behavior. It is now also being leveraged by Pi-Star via a dropdown option of "None" for XLX Startup Module in the DMR Configuration.
