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.

that is located in the
MMDVM_Bridge.ini in the same folder.

Re: DVSwitch
Many thanks for that Russell.
I think I see in the file where to put the DMR talkgroup, which appears to be the ExportTG field.
But where do I put the YSF Reflector name/number?
[YSF] Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames to (export) TXPort = 31103 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to (export) RXPort = 31100 ; Port to listen on (import) FallbackID = 1234567 ; In case we can not find a valid DMR id in the database, export this one ExportTG = 1234 ; Which TG to export Slot = 2 ; Export slot
Thnaks, Walter/K5WH

Re: DVSwitch
As root cd /tmp wget http://dvswitch.org/install-dvswitch-repo chmod +x install-dvswitch-repo ./install-dvswitch-repo apt-get update apt-get install mmdvm-bridge then go by the guide for ini. https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/main/wiki/Bridge-DMR-to-YSF-Narrow systemctl enable mmdvm_bridge if you need to see the logs: cd /var/log/mmdvm for the most recent log file in that folder and sub the name for the * tail -f "*.log"

OK. I'll just throw another dongle on a Pi then. Thanks.

Re: using ambed with DVSwitch
Patrick,
Analog_Bridge does not support ambed. Just ambeserver or direct connect.

DVSwitch is set up for AMBEserver, not ambed. Are the protocols the same? Can I just add a third dongle and point Analog_Bridge at my existing ambed, or should I run AMBEserver as well? If so, assuming I want to run it on the same box, how would I make sure ambed doesn't grab all of the dongles, so that one is reserved with use for AMBEserver? Thanks and 73: KE4DYI

Thank you for version armv6 and now I can run MMDVM_Bridge/Analog_Bridge on Raspberry Pi ZERO W with Raspbian. 73 Waldek

Hi Steve,
I have built MMDVM_Bridge on a Pi 1. (armv6l) Give it a try on your 1Boh, I didn't expect that to happen so I ordered a RPi2B on Friday :) I will give it a try on the RPi1B and report. mni tnx es vy73 de Florian DF2ET

DVSwitch
Steve,
If I am understanding DVSwitch correctly, it appears there may be a couple ways to do some things from what I have seen.
I am specifically looking for the simplest way to bridge a DMR talkgroup to a YSF reflector.
Is there a way to run the MMDVM_Bridge separately? Or something else?
Or do you have to install the DVSwitch software as a base, before the bridge or other components can be used?
Many thanks for all the great work you’re doing with this.
Walter/K5WH

We have no plans at this time to include support for the v6 in the apt repository, but I will update github with the binary. Next I'll build Analog bridge for the v6. 73, Steve N4IRS

Re: MMDVM_Bridge Timeout
Philippe, f5rvx
I think I just understood my mistake (absurd) 1/ When I switch on my computer I run a first session in the backgroud with : systemctl stop mmdvm_bridge 2/ to see what's going on I opened a second
session ... in the foreground :
MMDVM_Bridge.ini
I can login to the Master with the info you provided. Do you have a second copy of MMDVM_Bridge running?So your first remark was very relevant !
Best 73 Philippe ps : below the copy of what I visualize now root@raspberrypi:/opt/MMDVM_Bridge# ./MMDVM_Bridge
