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.

Well that works fine, disabled the ambe server and just went direct to the dongle.
using ambe-server seems a more elegant solution, as it means I can use Blue DV ambe also on another device.

YHSF/Fusion Reflector Troubles
Austin [KN4GCP]
I'm new to groups.io, but a fellow Ham suggested I come join this group, in an effort to help figure out where perhaps I am going wrong in my setup of a YSF/Fusion Reflector. We will be bridging this Reflector to a pre-existing DMR [specifically Brandmeister] talk group, but first we're just trying to get the YSF Reflector up and running. I followed the guide at YSFReflector-Registry website, doing the installation manually, and port-forwarded the necessary ports to the server located on my network. The reflector has been properly registered with the registry website, inserting all the correct information, and at first, it was working. The website was reporting that it saw the reflector up and running.However, this morning when I went to go check on the reflector, I logged into the registry site, and it said that it could not be pinged. Checking the Virtual Machine, every indication showed me that it was running properly (the guide described that two processes should be running, and both were), and it wasn't spitting out any errors, other than to say that "No Repeaters/Gateways Linked". The VM is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, running on
The ports that have been forwarded on my router, are
I'm using dynamic DNS to provide an address for the registry to poll, through no-ip. The host address is metarollover.ddns.net, with the dashboard located at https://metarollover.ddns.net/. Last Minute Update: So, I restarted the VM (again), just to check and make sure before I go asking for help, and for whatever reason the site is now able to ping the reflector, but I'm still not able to access the reflector? I'm using an FT3DR, and a MMDVM hotspot, but for whatever reason, when I key in the room's ID (50755) it doesn't connect. When I search for it, it doesn't show up in the results list. I'm not sure if it takes awhile for the group to show up, or if maybe there's still something wrong here.

thanks for all your help so far. I too am busy for a while, so this will have to wait.

Re: Stacato audio on DVSM
If not using AMBEServer works, then I suspect the serial latency is
not set for optimal.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
To verify this look at the output of: cat /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ttyUSB0/latency_timer If the output is 16, that is a problem. Analog_Bridge sets the for you, AMBEServer does not. If you revert to AMBEServer then before you start AMBEServer: echo 1 >/sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ttyUSB0/latency_timer Then start AMBEServer and retest I am out in the field today, so I will not have time to work with you on this today.

If you have not switched over direct yet you can try one quick
