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.

I'm downloading a CSV file radioid.net it's basically a direct replacement for the fike from dmr-marc.

If so, where can I find the fix for the .conf files? 73 Jon K1IMD

Chris, I installed on a fresh install of Debian 9.4, no issues at all following Russell’s guide. If all else fails…

Well,

As far as the duplicate, not really. Because the ASL install was from the the ASL ISO, the repo was already installed. The install script does not look in the proper place. I need to fix that. As far as the format errors, I fixed the install so that does not happen. I do recommend you ssh in so that you can copy and paste. Practice practice, practice...

Re: I have missed some major step on install
Thank you!
I'm sorry to be so darn ignorant on this subject. I'm studying linux hard, but have so much more to learn on basic in's and out's. Did I do something terribly wrong? I want to be able to help a few other guys here in our area and want to be able to duplicate this. Chris
