Re: Some basic dv switch questions, hoping you can help
Get a pi i use the pi3b and an mmdvm hat (Google it) then www. pi-star. Co. Uk.(no spaces) youtube or ham radio concepts (seting up a mmdvm) and have fun. You may want to get a dmr radio tyt md 380 is the one i have. (learn how to work code plug) hope that gets you started

Hey guys,
Jed.n1jbc here. So, i'm brand new to this dvswitch thing, and
honestly it seems pretty cool.
So, the furthest i've gotten with it, is hooking it up to my allstar
node, using a network radio. I'm using an Inrico t-320 network radio,
and have dvswitch installed on it, and am connecting it to my allstar
node. It works great.
Now it's time to expand it further. I've been told that i can run
dmr, and other digital modes if i put a pi together. So i'm at that
point where i want to go to that next step. What do i need to do?
I'm going to have a lot of questions here.
Cheers,
Jed

Thanks.
Mike and I talked about supporting CW, but maybe not MCW. ;)

Good plan Steve, with over 75 digital modes currently available it
would be an insane project to try to accommodate them all.

Re: Some basic dv switch questions, hoping you can help

Steve N4IRS
Jed, Welcome. Glad you are enjoying using DVSwitch Mobile (DVSM) with Allstar. For what you are asking, you have a couple of choices: 1: Setup a separate Pi for you to use the Digital modes with DVSM. 2: Add the digital modes to your existing AllStar node. No matter what you choose, I'm going to tell you to wait at least a week to do anything other the gather hardware. 1: is the best option If you have a spare Pi. 2: give you the best overall flexibility but may be more complex to setup depending on how you want things to work. We are one week away from release of DVSwitch Server. The server image runs on a Raspberry Pi and allows you to setup a server with very little trouble. We have not tested adding DVSwitch Server to an existing AllStar node. It SHOULD work, but we need to test before recommending. That having been said, we have 2 subgroups you should consider joining. 1: < https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/allstarlink> Discussion of bridging AllStar to the digital world 2: < https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/Mobile> Discussion of all things DVSM 73, Steve N4IRS

I will try doing this later.
Can you think of why this would have changed all the
sudden? I have two installations which are now behaving this
way.
I only realized this because the past few days I was
noticing there hasn’t been much chatter on the TG. Also, when I
keyed my radio, I would get the “Pacific” annunciation which was
an indication that the talkgroup had changed. That’s when I
started doing some digging.

You might just get away with replacing the binary.
systemctl stop p25gateway
cd /opt/P25Gateway
mv P25Gateway P25Gateway.old
wget https://github.com/DVSwitch/P25Gateway/raw/master/bin/P25Gateway.armhf
mv P25Gateway.armhf P25Gateway
chmod +x P25Gateway
systemctl start p25gateway
To go "all the way" you will want to replace the binary,
the ini and the audio directory from this: <https://github.com/DVSwitch/P25Gateway/archive/master.zip>

(Startup) and there was inactivity on

the system would revert back to 10400.
This is not the way it is behaving
today. I’m not exactly sure what TG is
now used as the “Revert” TG.
I’ve looked at the P25Gateway log file
and verified that even when operating on
10400, if there is more than 10 minutes
of inactivity, I will be unlinked from
10400.
Is this a known current behavior, and if
so, what does happen after the
inactivity timer expires?

I see no reason it would change. It's just that I tested with the
current version as shown in the included logs so I know it's
working. As far as I know it always worked that way.
