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: Analog_Bridge.ini Steven Blackford #1434 Jeff, I’ve setup several of these ASL<->DMR bridges now. Personally, I try to keep the “bridges” setup on “Private” nodes & then have them auto connect to your public node on startup once you have everything working properly. The startup macro works great for this. I do this so just in case a problem arises, you can always disconnect the “Private Node,” from your public node & it’s still available for people to use. In my instance, I have my primary node 46626 as a public facing node & I tie the ASL<->DMR Bridge to a private node 1999 or 1998. Take care & 73 de K4SQI!

Re: Rpi3 Bridge Steve N4IRS #1429 The sample stanza for the USRP node is the suggested settings. Check yours. Since the diagram looks like this: BM <-> MMDVM_Bridge <-> Analog_Bridge <-> ASL Your next log to watch is Analog_Bridge. At the CLI prompt for ASL you can set rpt debug level 7 to see more of what is happening in ASL.

Analog_Bridge.ini Steve N4IRS #1425 We are working to simplify and standardize the configuration files across all the Partner programs. Analog_Bridge.ini is one of the oldest and needs a little facelift to better match the other partners. Though some of the parameter names are changing, the old names will be supported for a while. If you are still using the older names, you will get a warning in the Analog_Bridge log. Your configuration will continue to operate as before. I have bolded the changes parameters Here is the updated Analog_Bridge.ini: ; Analog_Bridge configuration file. ; This file should be placed in either /etc or it can be ; supplied as a path on the Analog_Bridge command line. ; The best way to think of this file is that there are two main sections, the USRP (analog audio) and ; AMBE_AUDIO (compressed audio).

So I tried from my radio as a private call and no luck. But then I changed it to a group call and BAM! Working perfectly.

See further explanation below if there’s any confusion on what exactly I’m trying to accomplish. Jeff => Hmm, I’m not sure why I would need a repeater ID just for a DVswitch bridge? If I use a TG in txTg then it works fine. It just won’t allow me to specify a DMR ID in the txTg field. I’ll explain a bit further. The whole reason I’m trying to do this is to allow my HT to make a private or group call to the DMR ID used on the DVswitch bridge and be connected to my AllStar node. Then I can connect my bridged AllStar node to any other AllStar or Echolink node while using my ZUMspot as a DMR hotspot. So this allows me to have DMR, Echolink, and AllStar functionality using 1 hotspot. This works great when I use a TG, the only problem is I’m transmitting on the TG and the communication is only between my HT and the connected AllStar node. Let me give an example. On Tuesday nights at 8:00pm there’s an AllStar Technical net (DMR is discussed frequently) I want to connect to on AllStar node 45221. So what I would do is use my AllStar bridge node 46690 and connect it to 45221. So at that point when the net is taking place on 45221 I will be able to hear it and transmit to it on my HT via DMR ID 3113756. This works great when I bridge my AllStar node 46690 to our local talkgroup, but the only problem is I don’t want it to occupy the talk group. This is why I’m trying to setup a bridge to my DMR ID 3113756 that’s on my HT instead of using a TG. Maybe that clears things up if there is any confusion on what I’m trying to accomplish. If it’s not possible with DVswitch then maybe there are some kind of unused or private TGs I can use if I can’t get DMR IDs to work? Or maybe create my own TG? Guess I need to read more on how TGs work.

Will, A couple of comments here. Tying up a TG is a relative thing. Almost like if a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound. My point is that you can use DMRID as a TG. I do it all the time for testing. Another way to solve the issue is to setup hblink as a server or master. Point your MMDVM_bridge at it and point you HS at it. You now have a private connection between MMDVM_Bridge and your ZUMspot. We are working on the documentation now and a example of that type of config is planned. HBlink is pretty easy to setup.

This is why I’m trying to setup a bridge to my DMR ID 3113756 that’s on my HT instead of using a TG. Maybe that clears things up if there is any confusion on what I’m trying to accomplish. If it’s not possible with DVswitch then maybe there are some kind of unused or private TGs I can use if I can’t get DMR IDs to work? Or maybe create my own TG? Guess I need to read more on how TGs work.

DMR Repeater ID's are typically 6 digits long and they identify the repeater and can therefore be used as a talkgroup A DMR user ID is 7 digits and must be unique as it "generally" translates to an IP address in the DMR system. If you have not already requested a DMR repeater ID I'm thinking you'd need to do that. my 2 cents On Fri, May 25, 2018 at 1:30 PM, WillieB <will@...> wrote: Right, I understand those definitions.

I could call him and he could call me. Then I tested some more with my bridge using 3113756 for both the gatewayDmrId and for txTg. It didn’t work in either direction. I could PTT on my HT and not hear anything on AllStar, and I could transmit on AllStar and not hear anything on my HT. In the meantime I received my other new DMR ID so I tested with it as well. See settings below for Analog_Bridge.ini, but unfortunately nothing is working, same results. 3110229 is my new ID and 311356 is my older one. I’m I setting this up correctly? If I set the contact to TG9 like Steve suggested then how do I specify to call my other DMR ID? I’m quite confused still on how to set this up as a bridge from my ASL node to my HT. Are there any kind of pseudo talkgroups or something similar? Any other ideas? gatewayDmrId = 3110229 ; ID to use when transmitting from Analog_Bridge repeaterID = 311022901 ; ID of source repeater txTg = 3113756 ; TG to use for all frames received from Analog_Bridge -> xx_Bridge From: main@DVSwitch.groups.io [mailto:main@...o] On Behalf Of WillieB Sent: Friday, May 25, 2018 1:13 PM To: main@DVSwitch.groups.io Subject: Re: [DVSwitch] DMR to AllStar Bridge - Private Call to DMR ID without a TG?

I’m sure I’m just doing something wrong. As a test on my HT I did a manual private call to 3113756 and I don’t hear anything on the AllStar node. And when I key the AllStar node nothing happens on my HT. When I look in Brandmeister self-care, it’s showing an Auto Static group of 3113756 which I believe is correct. I’ve attached logs to the email which may help. I’m open for suggestions. 73 Will, KE4IAJ TARG AEC From: main@DVSwitch.groups.io [mailto:main@...o] On Behalf Of Steve N4IRS Sent: Friday, May 25, 2018 9:28 AM To: main@DVSwitch.groups.io Subject: Re: [DVSwitch] DMR to AllStar Bridge - Private Call to DMR ID without a TG?

I have requested an additional DMR ID waiting for approval. Once it is approved I’ll test using it. My guess is that I just put the DMR ID in the txTg field in place of the TG in the Analog_Bridge.ini file. If that doesn’t work I’ll wait on the example documentation for the HBlink.

Will, A couple of comments here. Tying up a TG is a relative thing. Almost like if a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound. My point is that you can use DMRID as a TG. I do it all the time for testing. Another way to solve the issue is to setup hblink as a server or master. Point your MMDVM_bridge at it and point you HS at it. You now have a private connection between MMDVM_Bridge and your ZUMspot. We are working on the documentation now and a example of that type of config is planned. HBlink is pretty easy to setup.

First of all many many thanks to Steve and anyone else involved for these programs and applications! I am using dvswitch with analog_bridge, mmdvm_bridge, and md380-emu to create a DMR to AllStar bridge. I have it working (Many thanks to KV4S (Russell)) fine bridging to a DMR talkgroup. My question is, can I bridge an AllStar node directly to a DMR user ID without a talkgroup? I guess this would be a private call? What I’m trying to accomplish here is to allow me to use my ZUMspot to connect to AllStar nodes through the bridge, but without tying up an entire talkgroup. Thanks in advance. 73 Will, KE4IAJ TARG AEC

Re: Updated DVSwitch repository available WillieB <will@...> #1417 I tuned my audio last night and ended up with the settings below. First I connected the my bridged node to a local repeater node and equalized the audio listening on DMR and Analog. Once the DMR receive audio was adjusted I then connected my bridged node to 3009999 (Echolink Test Server) and adjusted the audio coming back. Not a perfect science but audio sounds really good in both directions now. aslAudio = AUDIO_USE_AGC agcGain = -10 dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN dmrGain = 0.50 73 Will, KE4IAJ TARG AEC toggle quoted messageShow quoted text From: main@DVSwitch.groups.io [mailto:main@DVSwitch.groups.io] On Behalf Of Steve N4IRS Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2018 1:08 PM To: main@DVSwitch.groups.io Subject: Re: [DVSwitch] Updated DVSwitch repository available Peter, Use: dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN ; Audio from ASL (AUDIO_UNITY, AUDIO_USE_GAIN, AUDIO_BPF) dmrGain = 2 ; Gain factor of audio from ASL (0.0-1.0) This is multiply by 2.

Re: DMR to ASL audio level Peter Buckley #1416 Thanks Steve, That DMR Audio increase tip - worked perfectly. The DMR side came up (what I needed) to get the analog listeners (Allstar) up to a good level. Our assigned BM/TG 31085 is connected to an old Analog Repeater system that covers most of western Colorado - Vail, Aspen, Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction. 73s pete N0ECT toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Wednesday, May 30, 2018 11:07 AM, Steve N4IRS <szingman@...> wrote: Peter, Use: dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN ; Audio from ASL (AUDIO_UNITY, AUDIO_USE_GAIN, AUDIO_BPF) dmrGain = 2 ; Gain factor of audio from ASL (0.0-1.0) This is multiply by 2.
