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.

Re: Port errors ASL to DMR
Sean,

This happens when another program is listening to 31103. Here are the commands you want to run to find out what is listening on 31103: As root (sudo -s) netstat -unap | grep 31103 ps ax | grep MMDVM_Bridge Run the 2 commands above BEFORE you try to start MMDVM_Bridge and report the results. 73, Steve N4IRS

Yes, I have one standalone non published reflector that only runs the reflector software.
We also have a reflector with the gateway software so that one should be easy as soon as I figure out how to configure the announcement.

Re: Talkgroup Announcement
I'm not sure I understand the question. P25Gateway announces to the
user every time it connects or disconnects from a reflector. Do you
mean my standalone, a non published reflector?

Thanks Steve,
So even with a standalone P25Reflector I'd need to run P25Gateway to get an announcement I'm assuming?

Re: Talkgroup Announcement
It is generated by the P25Gateway.

Thanks for that. I’ll be back at the office in the morning and will give that a try.

John.. You need to change the gain type (if you havn't) from the default to AUDIO_USE_GAIN.. then the changes will work, make big changes at first and smaller as you get closer to an acceptable level. You'll need to restart the Analog_Bridge process every time that you make a change to test. aslAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN ; Audio to ASL (AUDIO_UNITY, AUDIO_USE_AGC, AUDIO_USE_GAIN) agcGain = 1.65 ; Gain (in db) of the AGC filter dmrAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN ; Audio from ASL (AUDIO_UNITY, AUDIO_GAIN, AUDIO_BPF) dmrGain = 0.31 ; Gain factor of audio from ASL (0.0-1.0)

Steve,
Thays where I run into the issue of it not changing. I can alter those settings and the end result is still the same. The DMR side being way overdriven when there is traffic coming from asl. I have tried multiple time, with numerous settings, and even tried reboots after making changes. Still poor audio quality on the DMR side.

In Analog_Bridge.ini see the [USRP] stanzas tlvAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN tlvGain = 0.35 ; Gain factor of audio from ASL (0.0-1.0) This should reduce the audio from ASL to DMR 73, Steve N4IRS

Hi, I would like install Allstarlink on a Raspberry Pi4. Is it possible now ? If yes, which image to use . Thanks 73

Ah just learned something new. I new that apt wouldn’t load it so I assumed that they were built for Debian based systems and had to be built from source.
So there you go. I would still dump hamvoip and go with a clean install though on raspbian. You will know much better how everything works and will be easier to do.

I hate to disagree with you but YES it does run on ARCH Linux with
HAMVOIP software. Try access DMR TG314651, Allstar 45743, Echolink
275408 or even better yet check out my dashboard and watch it work.

. I run Archlinux with HAMVOIP software on a raspberry Pi 4 with
4gig Memory. I never recompiled any copy to run on it.

And finally the answer comes out. Hamvoip uses arch linux as its base and none of the dvswitch software will work on arch. It has been built for the Debian based systems like raspbian, dwbian and ubuntu. You will not get this to work without rebuilding everything from source code.

Steve,
Ok, that's very helpful. I should have stated ARCH instead of using ARM, sorry on my part. I will try to install on my Debian machine and have it point to the IP of the all-star node after I make it to that point.
