Thank you for your responses! I am invoking the dmrlink.py script and have also tried the IPSC_Bridge.py script with the same results. I have attached my current cfg file as well as a chunk of my current log file once changed logging from INFO to DEBUG.
I am wanting to use dmrlink to manage a group of repeaters currently running on a private mesh network and will untlimately bind a a public IP address to the system as well making it possible for external MotoTrbo machines to connect. Down the road, I will likely expand with an HBlink for hotspots when members travel.
