Welcome to DVSwitch
DVSwitch is a set of tools and programs related to provisioning and operating Amateur Radio digital voice networks.
Purpose
The purpose of DVSwitch is as follows:
1) Allows “local” networking during an outage of the regional national/international network server.
2) Allows a local network operator to “blend” upstream feeds from different Networks (capital N on purpose). These Networks can’t get their act together and learn how to play nice with each other (everyone guilty as far as we are concerned). They may not like people doing this, but the solution is to grow up and work with each other, and not keep trying to force people to take sides.
3) Allows local segregation of localized traffic with more flexibility.
4) Allows experimentation with linking and how it’s done (part 97 specifies experimentation and advancement of the radio art are a core part of amateur radio).

Mission Statement/Position
Our stated position is:
WHEREAS the Networks continue to be largely islands and are not working together to create a unified network of Networks.
WHEREAS no firm reason has been given by any of the Networks why a *competent* local network operator cannot make this work effectively.
(US ONLY)
WHEREAS 47 CFR 97 (Amateur Radio Service) specifies that a core component of amateur radio is experimentation and advancement of the radio art [97.1(b)].
BE IT RESOLVED the core group of US amateur radio operators and experimenters organized around the DVSwitch project, and in the spirit of USA 47 CFR 97 and its intentions, support the *responsible* and *thoughtful* use of digital voice networking tools to create localized networks that will interconnect to the national/international Networks, and will support users of its tools in order to do this in the most effective and sustainable way possible.

Re: What is an ISPC2 Server?
FreeDMR looks pretty interesting, btw. Thanks Steve.

Re: What is an ISPC2 Server?
I have two Motorola repeaters connected. It just bugs the heck that two masters are needed, one for each time slot. I'd like them to configure the way homebrew repeaters do, on one master.

Re: What is an ISPC2 Server?
FreeDMR expands from the basic HBlink And it's opensource. Depending
on your needs you can do Motorola repeater with HBlink. Example

I'll check out FreeDMR. However, I have HBLink running (http://dmr.wd6awp.net) and there are a couple of things that could be better, mainly Motorola repeater support and a realtime dashboard. From what I can tell looking at the dashboards, IPSC2 is better in both regards. Any idea who might know where to find out the availability of IPSC2 server?

Re: What is an ISPC2 Server?
No, not that I know of. If you are looking for a DMR "server" Look
into FreeDMR (Based on HBLink)

I see a lot of IPSC2 dashboards out there but no details what it is and Google isn't helping. Is it a commercial product, open source or just what?
