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.

You first need to change directory to opt/MMDVM_Bridge
From: main@DVSwitch.groups.io <main@DVSwitch.groups.io> On Behalf Of john.sutton45 via groups.io
I have followed the instructions for DVSwitch on Pi 3b+ and when and when I get to nano MMDVM_Bridge.ini the file is empty, also there is no program-name file.

ASL to P25 bridge
#analog_bridge
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

As you can see, a YSF to DMR bridge is the absolute simplest
possible bridge.

Are you trying to bridge YSF to DMR? Are you trying to use your existing YSF <-> ASL bridge as part of the YSF to DMR? One thing I can tell you from your e-mail, forget hoseline. It does not work most (all) of the time. As far as troubleshooting, use the logs. They will show you the traffic passing across a bridge. Steve N4IRS

DMR to YSFn Bridge
#mmdvm_bridge

So I have a Linode (VPS) that has DV switch installed, I've successfully configured Analog Bridge for ASL and DMR, so I think I have a rudimentary understanding whats going on.
I am part owner of a repeater here in Austin that is YSF DR2x its currently configured oniste with a Analog Bridge to YSF setup thats has been working well for several without issue. I can connect to the reflector via pistar hotspot and crossmode DMR to YSF. I've read the wiki article and configured my MMDVM_bridge.ini and DvSwitch.ini. The goal here is to merely have an access point on Brandmeister for a DMR bridge that to the YSF reflector and let his Analog_Bridge take care of the transcoding locally. That way people who don't have access to a hotspot that can do a crossmode, or for linking other DMR repeaters for nets can easily do so through BM. My expectation is that when I key up the Talkgroup I should hear it come out the analog side of the system. But I don't, I can see on the hoseline that Im keying it up, but I get no audio on hoseline or on the analog side. I feel like I am losing it so any help would be appreciated. Here is my Stanza for YSF and DMR in DVSwitch ini.... I have questions around the Fallback ID and Export Talkgroup since the goal is for it to just be a DMR gateway of sorts, what am I supposed to put as the Export TG? I elaborate in the sections below [YSF] Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames to (export) TXPort = 35100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to (export) RXPort = 35103 ; Port to listen on (import) FallbackID = This should just be the same as my DMR ID? ; In case we can not find a valid DMR id in the database, export this one ExportTG = I'm having trouble understanding what this is for, is this supposed to be a DMR TG number? what if Im using my ID as a Talkgroup while I wait for approval of one from Brandmeister? Slot = 2 ; Export slot [DMR] Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames to (export) TXPort = 31100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to (export) RXPort = 31103 ; Port to listen on (import) Slot = 2 ; Export slot
