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: IPSC to IPSC question?
Short answer, yes. dmrlink can be a peer to a Motorola repeater as a
Master.

Re: IPSC to IPSC question?
You can connect to BM with dmrlink, but it requires intervention
from the BM admins. You can use HB_Bridge and IPSC_Bridge to build a
connection to BM that you control.

Re: IPSC to IPSC question?
jay@...
Awesome. thanks for the reply. So here is my next question,
So in order to run software diagnostics and other software the repeater needs to be in MASTER mode not Peer. Is there a way to have it in MASTER mode, Have confbridge connect to the repeater as a peer and also have confbridge connect out to the cbridge and route the traffic through to the repeater? ;) 73,

Re: IPSC to IPSC question?
Cort N0MJS <n0mjs@...>
confbridge.py in DMRlink was intended to do exactly this, and to be a stand-alone “call router”. It’s been in production service as part of the K0USY Group “regional” network since it was first written… of course, that’s also why I wrote it :)

Re: IPSC to IPSC question?
I did this type of thing with confbridge quite a while ago. You may
also be able to use proxy.

IPSC to IPSC question?
jay@...
Hello,
I'm looking to connect my Trbo repeater to a "IPSC Gateway?" and that gateway connect to a c-bridge. Doing this for a "man in the middle" way of managing the talk groups etc. Is this doable and what would i use, IPSC_Gateway only? Thanks! 73,

Analog_Bridge + HBLink audio screech
G7RPG - Peter Kendall
Hi All,
I've been linking my asl node to BM direct using Analog_Bridge and HBlink-HB_Bridge, this has been working perfectly. I'm trying to use a another instance of HBlink to create a local proxy for HBlink-HB_Bridge, YSF2DMR and an mmdvm_hs, its working fine apart from a very loud audio screech being heard at the end of every transmission coming from ASL on DMR. Any suggestions? 73 Peter

Re: Brandmeister-Analog_Bridge Connection Problem
Corey is right , I did not catch the NAK. The DMR-MARC issue still
happens also.
