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.

It's waiting for traffic from MMDVM_Bridge on a TG to tell it what reflector to connect to. Unless, you want it to startup on a particular reflector. P25Gateway.ini [Network] Startup=3166 InactivityTimeout=10 This says, connect to the reflector for TG 3166. If P25Gateway is pointed to another reflector and there is no activity, P25Gateway will revert to TG 3166 Steve N4IRS

Re: error while installing quantar
Thanks Steve. That got me past the error in the DVSwitch.sh.
Now, when I run /opt/P25Gateway/P25Gateway P25Gateway.ini , I get:

Re: Problem after Power Blip
I think I solved it. I reset my router with no go on it. then i just did a Full factory reset of my router and that cured the problem. In case anyone else has that same problem do a factory reset (Full) or put it on a UPS to so it don't get trashed.

Problem after Power Blip
Steve,
I had a power Blip and reset everything. The problem is I can hear my DMR audio from Brandmeister thru the Bridge over my repeater. I see on brandmeister that my repeater is sending data to brandmeister but nothing is heard over my DMR from them. example: DMR to Hotspot to BM to TG 314651 to AB over repeater works fine Analog to AB to MB to Brandmeister tg 314651 sees packets but Brandmeister to tg 314651 to my hotspot nothing heard and no data. Please help me understand that. it also doesn't matter what server or talk group I use same results. attaching logs for your viewing

AllStar and DummyRepeater
I'm looking to build a a gateway between AllStar and D-STAR, and I've
seen references to using DummyRepeater and IRCDDBGateway, instead of Analog_Bridge. This has the advantage for me of being able to repurpose a blue DV Dongle to do the DSAMBE conversion, saving a bit of money and postage time (postage is quite slow these days) I am aware there is a modification for DummyRepeater that allows it to use the USRP interface, making it a perfect fit for AllStar, and I have the AllStar side configured. However, from there, documentation seems to be lacking, and I couldn't find the patch (found a dead Guthub link). Anyone have any more info? -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com

Good Evening, I have a pi setup with The Quantar bridge suite of software which has been running with no problem for a year or two now. (When I turn it on). As there
had been no updates to the os or dvswitch since then, I went ahead and did a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. Now the mmdvm_bridge will no longer automatically start on boot up, however quantar_bridge, p25gateway, etc all still work fine. If I do systemctl mmdvm_bridge the mmdvm bridge starts running right away and then everything works like normal, it just will not automatically start. I tried a systemctl disable mmdvm_bridge, then reboot, then systemctl enable mmdvm_bridge and that had no effect. Anyone have any other ideas so that I do not have to manually start mmdvm_bridge every time the pi powers up. Thanks!
