FOlks,No, using the HTML client means you're going via Analog_Reflector, which means an unnecessary transcode cycle (and loss of audio quality across the bridge). First step is to check with TGIF to see if you're allowed to bridge with DVSwitch, and if so, whether there's other conditions. Assuming it's fine, you can do a high quality bridge between YSF and DMR with a single instance of MMDVM_Bridge. As for Brandmeister, I try and avoid it, and if I do use BM, I only use it as an ordinary DMR user. I'm more often found on VK-DMR (DMR+), FreeDMR and FreeSTAR. Brandmeister have very strict (and inconsistently enforced at times) bridging policies. First, you'll need to use something like HBLink3, because BM will require you to use an OpenBridge to bridge to their network. You may fall foul of BM's "rebridging" policy here - they're not keen on talkgroups being rebridged to other talkgroups on BM or other networks. However, when bridging to multiple networks, HBLink3 is a good idea anyway, as it simplifies things, and you can setup a local master for MMDVM_Bridge to bridge to. I use the FreeDMR port of HBLink3 to bridge a talkgroup on FreeDMR and FreeSTAR, and have a local master for MMDVM_Bridge to link in my YSF and NXDN reflectors. And yes, the admins of both networks are on board. :) Anyway, using MMDVM_Bridge to bridge YSF and DMR is straightforward. Enable both YSF and DMR, as well as the YSF Network and DMR Network sections. Point these to the YSF reflector and DMR master/talkgroup respectively. Finally, you'll need to edit DVSwitch.ini so that the DMR Rx port is the same as the YSF Tx port and vice-versa. This directs TLV traffic back to MMDVM_Bridge, so it can be passed on to the other network. -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
