+The YSF Gateway interfaces the MMDVM Host to the open source YSF Reflector system using the standard Wires-X commands from the radio. It also gateways position information to aprs.fi if sent.
+
+The file YSFHosts.txt holds information about the reflectors available, and the gateway has the ability to reload this file at intervals to ensure that it is always up to date.
+
+It is expected that a call to retrieve this file is done via some mechanism such as crom on Linux. The URLs to retrieve the latest file are [htt][http://register.ysfreflector.de/export_csv.php], or [https][https://register.ysfreflector.de/export_csv.php].
