Welcome to DVSwitch
Purpose
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
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.

Hi Ernest, I tried the PW you suggested but only results in 100% failure. As for the IP address, 3103.repeater.net is the BM 3103 master server and pings every time. One thing of interest, since putting the PW back to passw0rd, I no longer get the reoccurring timeout error and retries... Maybe Murphy left the building?

Re: RF to RF bridge
This could be done with out the internet on a single host. From waht
I understand the Yaesu repeater is far enough away so that a low
power hot spot will not make the distance. This does not require any
internet connection.

DMR User radio <-> Low power hotspot <-> MMDVMHost <-> HBlink <-> MMDVM_Bridge <-> YSFReflector <-> MMDVMHost <-> Hi power hotspot <-> Yaesu repeater As I said, all of this can be done on one host. It can also be split up amongst multiple hosts. If multiple hosts you can use Pi-Star the far ends. Steve N4IRS

Re: RF to RF bridge
I run a Dmr repeater and Wires-x Gateway from my location.
its possible for me to talk back and forth without going out on the internet. I have also P25, NXDN and Teamspeak Connected. Most of the work can be done on one Pc running Debian but I have several Pc's PI's etc. Use XLX as your Dmr repeater. A GM340 radio with MMDVM Board to XLX to Openspot. There are lots of different options. Via Internet I have Zello, Peanut ,Dmr and Wiresx. I use dvswitch to go from ysf to P25., and Dmr to Dmr. Never had an 8 second delay going out on the internet. A couple of seconds is about normal.
