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.

looks like it's telling you that '/var/log/HBlink/HBlink.log` is a directory and not a file... rmdir /var/log/HBlink/HBlink.log touch var/log/HBlink/HBlink.log

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar
Ryan Collier
Steve, Have you had DTMF working on the setup? DSTAR to All-Star? I can hear them going through but not working. Also I can not control the volume. Is this normal? I do want to get hb-link running since I have this running. I only have one dvboard, I think I need to get another one to get this to work correctly correct? Thanks, Ryan (KB8PMY)

So,

DummyRepeater and ASL on the same machine? The export variables: export USRP_IP="127.0.01";export USRP_IP $ export USRP_TXPORT=34001;export USRP_TXPORT $ export USRP_RXPORT=32001;export USRP_RXPORT This should connect to ASL if it is set to 127.0.0 1 in the rpt.conf channel driver setting. ASSUMING ASL and DR or on the same machine.
