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.

So, that's the issue. If you use Pi-Star, the host file comes from Andy Taylor MW0MWZ (The author of Pi-Star) Andy starts with the the host file from Jonathan G4KLX which is here <https://github.com/g4klx/P25Clients/blob/master/P25Gateway/P25Hosts.txt> There is nothing sacred about the file. Pi-Star give the user the ability to add custom entries. If I dont use Pi-Star I can edit the host file to my liking. Pi-Star is a "repackaging" of the software from G4LKX. That is not to say Andy does not add value. He certainly does and I would venture to say that without Pi-Star (or something like it) DV hotspots would not have taken off like it did. Steve N4IRS

You edit the P25Hosts.txt file to reflect the details to the P25 reflector you are wanting to connect to. Save it the do a quick reboot. You should then be able to select it in Pi-Star

I'm not sure I understand your answer....maybe if I rephrase--
How do I get my P25 reflector/TG to show up in the pulldown in the P25 section of the configuration screen of every Pi-Star hotspot in existence?

That file starts with <https://github.com/g4klx/P25Clients/tree/master/P25Gateway>
Where people get their host file depends on where they get their
software.

Thanks, that clears that up. Another question is, what determines whether the TG shows up automatically in everyone's P25Hosts.txt (ie. "published"?) -Bob KK6RQ

In Analog_Bridge.ini change: minTxTimeMS = 2500 to minTxTimeMS = 3000 The message is coming from BM (Very loud) If this does not solve the issue, we will go the next step. Steve N4IRS

"Muted" prompt
#analog_bridge
Hello,
We have DVSwitch running with a connection to BrandMeister to our AllStar server. I think this is MMDVM_Host <-> analog_bridge. The AllStar server is the hub of our analog repeater network. We are having a problem that sprouts up after about four hours of operation. We start getting key-up on our analog repeaters with the word "muted", it is muffled and hard to understand, but we think this is what it's saying. The logs show network traffic coming from the DMR side, but we don't hear it if we monitor the talkgroup. Is there something in the DVSwitch stack of software, or maybe in AllStar that would broadcast the word "muted? I'm hoping this will help us determine the issue. Any help you can provide would be helpful. Michael AF6FB

The P25Reflector software does not actually care what TG it reflects. When the reflector sees UDP traffic on the proper port, it reflects it to all connected users. The program that determines what TG, is actually P25Gateway in it's host file: # 10200 North America 10200 dvswitch.org 41000 This tells P25Gateway, when you see traffic on TG 10200 send the traffic to dvswitch.org (44.103.34.4) on UDP port 41000. As to the name, again it's in the P25Gateway host file. 73, Steve N4IRS

P25Reflector install help...
Bob KK6RQ
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty while installing the whole package (G4-somebody/dvswitch) using the 927.org instructions (which is riddled with typos); I've read everything I've been able to google, both here and elsewhere, but I'm stuck on a concept or two: What (and WHERE or WHO) determines what your newly installed P25 reflector's TG ID is? I probably will choose not to publish the TG (at first, at least) but where do I give it its name? I saw a thread where Steve says some ppl are using the same # as their chosen DMR TG (which already exists; I'm trying to link them)? Thanks, Bob KK6RQ

a guide i put together for installing VDVLINK (VirtualBox)
Orrin Winton
Hopefully this is the right group to post this to. Based on the EA5GVK/EA7JCL info, including their pages on how to install the .vdi file into VirtualBox, plus very helpful material written by Dave WA3LXD, i made an installation guide. It doesn't claim to be the last word, but it's how i got going with VDVLINK and DV-Switch. The Virtual DV-Link runs for days no problem. I have it running on both the Win10 and the Ubuntu versions of VirtualBox. ... My only complaint is that so far i have not been able to get D-Star running. But DMR-YSF-P25-NXDN run fine. I only use it for DMR 3100 anyway. It was fun putting it together, as i read Spanish very well and it was enjoyable doing a little translating. The screenshots from the EA5GVK/EA7JCL VirtualBox setup are for v8 of VDVLINK, but they are applicable to 9.7.0 and later. Comments are welcome, but please only if you try my "guide" and run into problems, and please not on this list. orrin.winton at gmail.com 73 de WN1Z Orrin

Also, if you go into MMDVM_Bridge.ini it looks for /var/log/mmdvm/DMRIds.dat So, that's different than this .csv file mentioned above. All I want is an updated Id lookup file. What is the proper procedure for updating that, and where does it ultimately reside? Thanks, Mike, AA9VI

Re: #brandmeister How can I link YSFReflector to BM talkgroup?

You just need one instances of MMDVM_Bridge. Point DMR to Branmeister and point YSF to your reflector.
