Hi:

I've been trying to set this up all day, and am stumped by the following situation.

Now that I've sorted my XLX problems (I hope,) I have two instances of MMDVM_Bridge connecting a BM talkgroup to my XLX reflector (opened two support tickets months ago for open bridge but they were never answered, so trying to do it myself.)

When I launch the MMDVM_Bridge instances, traffic passes all day long from BM to XLX. However, the instant anyone keys on my XLX module, which never makes it to the BM talkgroup, there is no longer traffic passing between the two MMDVM_Bridge instances. The logs don't give any useful info that I can see when this happens. The Bm instance continues to show incoming traffic from the BM static talkgroup, and the XLX instance shows outgoing traffic to TG9, but it's like they are no longer connected.

At first, I thought this was related to D-STAR and transcoding problems, but this also happens with DMR on my XLX reflector as well. Then, I thought perhaps my DMR ID was being auto-blocked, but it doesn't show up in the list of blocked users for the BM server I'm using.


Here are all the .INI files for each instance. Hopefully, one of you can tell me what I'm missing.

Any help is appreciated.
