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

From Analog_Bridge.ini:
; Information for xx_Bridge (Where xx is MMDVM, Quantar, HB, IPSC)
[AMBE_AUDIO]
address = 127.0.0.1 ; IP address of xx_Bridge
txPort = 34103
rxPort = 34100
ambeMode = P25 ; DMR, DMR_IPSC, DSTAR, NXDN, P25, YSFN, YSFW (encode PCM to this format)
minTxTimeMS = 2500 ; Minimum time in MS for hang delay (0-10000)
From DVSwitch.ini:
; Configure the P25 Partner ; Audio format is IMBE 88 bit
[P25]
Address = 127.0.0.1 ; Address to send AMBE TLV frames to (export)
TXPort = 34100 ; Port to send AMBE TLV frames to (export)
RXPort = 34103 ; Port to listen on (import)
Slot = 2 ; Export slot

Re: ASL to P25 bridge

If you see no activity ASL --> AB the something is wrong here:

Re: ASL to P25 bridge

OK, I changed the AB ini file.
I can see ASL activity on AB log. I see no corresponding changes in mmdvm log. The mmdvm log also states: Remote Gateway: no Is that correct? How do I test beyond AB to see ASL originated activity. Also Activity on the Reflector don't seem to interact with the Gateway. Tom

I need to see both logs from a fresh start to waiting for traffic.
Do not truncate.
