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.

Re: ASL to P25 bridge #analog_bridge Tom #7116 I rebooted and tried it again and I now have linux-headers-4.19.66-v7 installed and reported with uname -r. I'll keep you posted Tom

Re: ASL to P25 bridge #analog_bridge Tom #7115 Steve, I just started with a fresh Raspian image and performed all of the suggested steps: apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers -y Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the same results. Fortunately, I haven't yet installed any of the ASL or DVSwitch stuff. root@P25reflector:/usr/src # uname -r 4.14.98-v7+ root@P25reflector:/usr/src # ls linux-headers-4.19.66+ linux-headers-4.19.66-v7+ Tom

Re: ASL to P25 bridge #analog_bridge Tom #7113 I guess I could start over with a working ASL image of my own and do all the dvswitch install including P25reflector and analog-bridge. That's a lot of re-do. Tom

ASL to P25 bridge #analog_bridge Tom #7087 I want to make a bridge between ASL and P25. I understand that I must use the USRP channel driver and ports 32001, 34001. I believe the flow is ASL<->analog_bridge<->MMDVM<->P25gateway<->P25reflector. I have several questions: 1) Can I do this without a DV3000? 2) What ports are used between modules? AMBE_audio to MMDVM 32010, 42020 ? MMDVM to P25gateway 34103,34100 ? 3) The analog_bridge.ini files that I have seen on the web appear to have DMR stuff like ToDMR port, FromDRM port,slot , color. When I install analog bridge will I see that or P25 settings? Thanks, Tom / K5TRA

The files are at <https://github.com/N4IRS/DummyRepeater> This is the modification to dummy repeater to communicate with ASL. Thanks again Steve, got it all working. Had to do a bit of trial and error, and Googling to get ircDDBGateway to play ball, but it's all running now. Any activity on the AllStar side results in DummyRepeater going into transmit. Waiting on my MMDVM board to access the system from the D-STAR side, and give my old IC-91AD a run. :) -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
