For those of us using email, this message is a waste of bandwidth,
reposting would have made more sense, so we could see the original query
(I missed it first time around).

Yes, D-STAR requires a hardware vocoder, because there are no decent
software vocoders for that audio format.  I tried D-STAR in DroidStar
once, where there was no hardware option, and the audio was very poor,
practically unreadable.  You _can_ enable the software vocoder in
Analog_Bridge, but not recommended.  As one set of instructions put it -
"You won't like the result".

Normally, D-STAR would be setup with an AMBE3000 device, either on the
DVSwitch host or via an AMBEServer.  On my multimode gateway, I had an
original DV Dongle lying around doing nothing, so I used ircDDBGateway
and DummyRepeater to do the transcoding, since DummyRepeater supports
the DV Dongle hardware.

Re: The audio in DVswitch App mobile, with 4G/LTE is distorted.

Yes. Yes. In all the codecs. It does the same distortion.

I would also like to know how to install DV switch with the latest RPI image on the Allstar download from the Allstar site it seems like the documentation that I'm finding is not consistent with the install process is there a current update on the procedure that is readable not graphic as I am blind thank you.

Thanks 73 Neil Sablatzky K8IT

Re: log files without date in name

Steve N4IRS
 

Direct answer, no you can not.
This is what the updated apt package contains:

/var/log/mmdvm/MMDVM_Bridge.log
{
        daily
        rotate 30
        maxage 30
        dateext
        dateformat -%Y-%m-%d
        extension .log
        ifempty
        create

        firstaction
        today=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
        filename="/var/log/mmdvm/MMDVM_Bridge-$today.log"
        if [ -f "$filename" ]; then
                mv /var/log/mmdvm/MMDVM_Bridge-$today.log /var/log/mmdvm/MMDVM_Bridge.log
        fi
        endscript
}
put a empty MMDVM_Bridge.log in /var/log/MMDVM. (touch /var/log/mmdvm/MMDVM_Bridge.log)

Okay, thanks, Steve. I have the VODAFONE competition in Spain.
I have tried it with several mobile phones and with the latest versions of MMDVM_Bridge and Analog_Bridge.

If I am in the same Cedula of the Vodafone tower, it doesn't happen, but if one is in movement, it begins to happen that distortion of the audio only in RX, in TX the audio is emitted well.
Re: The audio in DVswitch App mobile, with 4G/LTE is distorted.

I might suggest that the issue is with your carrier and signal to 'tower channel'

To me, it seems obvious that your signal is either misreported by phone/tower and it is narrowing the bandwidth to your detriment.

OR

you are on a congested 4g segment doing  the same which is more likely, especially if you are using a 3rd party lease like 'straight talk' etc.. because you are 3rd/4th tier priority for bandwidth.

It could be something else, but that pops out at me. I would not adjust your system.

I have already tried it on different phones.
I have also tried it with both emulated and physical ambe and it is the same.

Last version mmdvm_bridge and analog_bridge, as well as the last version mobile app.

We will test but I can tell you both Mike and I use it on 4G/LTE daily.

Re: P25 to DMR issue

It worked because it ALWAYS TX to RX and RX to TX.

Re: P25 to DMR issue

Steve N4IRS
 

Do,
It always, TX to RX RX to TX.
If you still get a error from MB,
Start AB_P25 ONLY
netstat -unap
Look for AB, it will show you the ports AB is listening on
For TLV it should be 34103
Now stop AB
Start MB
run netstat -unap
Look for MB
for TLV it should be 34100
