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: ARRL President Rick Roderick (MP3 Audio)
Funny, I have saying the exact same thing for 20 years.
But why did it take them half of my life to come to their senses ??? Plenty of missed opportunities. There was a time when companies look how we in AR did things for ideas they could 'sneak away with' And I think the time is coming again. If for no other reason, the younger gen can find it a way to get hands dirty with the tech of today and really learn something useful. And hey... let's face it, it's fun. They will be designing the tech we play with when we are ...HMMMM ......OLD.er ? Thanks for the share !

Re: P25Reflector
I have a Reflector that I setup on Amazon Web services only for the purpose of interconnecting my P25 Quantar repeaters. I was given a talk-group ID there and I have continued to use it here too. I like having the ability to link into the repeaters if I'm some place out of range. As far as loading. I took amazons very basic setup and I do mean very basic setup . I'm running ubuntu with the reflector and web services too to check status remotely.

Thanks to Mike, KB8JNM for hosting the round table. The attendance far exceeded our expectations which caused some problems. Lesson learned.
I have shared the outine and slides from net. We were unable to get a audio recording. These are still a work in progress. We hope to get a good audio recording of the presentation. (the next time) Slides Outline

Re: P25Reflector
Right now there is a discussion going on the MMDVM Yahoo about the
number of P25 and NXDN reflectors. Jonathan feels, and I agree, that
the number of reflectors should be limited. When the YSF reflectors
started coming online, we started seeing a explosion of the number
of reflectors. In my opinion, if we have too many published
reflectors, it gets hard to find activity. Again, this is my
opinion. Jonathan is the person that controls the host files.

There is nothing stopping you from bringing up a reflector. For choosing a TG number, simply do not use a existing number. Some people try to fit in the existing numbering system. Others are using DMR TG numbers. Steve

Re: P25Reflector
Jim - K6JWN
What’s the process to get a “registered” reflector included in that file? Any policies for choosing a valid talkgroup?

That is correct. What I posted was directly from the P25Gateway.txt as shipped from github. On 06/18/2018 05:41 PM, af5xp via Groups.Io wrote:
