Welcome to DVSwitch

Just thought of something else. How do I listen to the activity on my DMR number from a separate device such as a DMR radio & hotspot that is using my DMR number?

73,

No. Use your DMR ID. That is the official stance.

Subject: [DVSwitch] Talk Group Question

 

I’m not sure who to ask, so I’ll ask here.  Since BM is no longer issuing talk groups, is it permissible to grab one of the unclaimed ones (ie. one not on the BM talk group listing)?  Thanks!

I would disable ambeserver and run the DV3000 direct for testing. Run host-info while DV3000 is in use and post the output.

Here is Analog_Bridge.ini

; Analog_Bridge configuration file.
;   This file should be placed in either /etc or it can be
;   supplied as a path on the Analog_Bridge command line.

; The best way to think of this file is that there are two main sections, the USRP (analog audio) and
; AMBE_AUDIO (compressed audio).  Analog_Bridge will take everything sent to the USRP port and
; encode it for transmission on the AMBE_AUDIO port.  The encoder will use the format defined in ambeMode.
; As you might expect, the reverse direction is defined too.

; Analog_Bridge supports include files. More on this later...

Ryan,
No it is not trying to transcode from D-Star. I'm betting you have UDP port problems. The DVSwitch install is pre-configured  to just drop in. When you run DVS it gives you the option to set the UDP ports on Analog _Bridge. Just leave them at default.
If you can put all the ports back to default. Look at the logs for info as to where you are having a failure.

So I ran that command last night. It made it worse. I now have no audio from DSTAR at all. It keys but no audio. I did turn all software transcoding off. 

My question is. Why when I am in DSTAR mode does it have to pull my DMR information? Are we sure that it is not somehow trying to transcode from DMR?

I'm out of time tonight. If you are saying the built in vocoder works better then the hardware vocoder, something is wrong. Also, you should not have to change port numbers.

What all files do you need? Also tried to enable DMR and YSF to get it out of DMR mode and that didn't work. I also have an issue connecting to remote ircddbgateway. Gateway address is my ircddbgateway computer. but the gateway address should be 20028 and local should be 20010. But to get it to work. I had to do gatewayport 20010 and local pot 20028 I am so confused.

All I want to do is get DSTAR linked back to ASL. dummyrepeater doesn't work anymore. I would get good audio through. But when DSTAR went back there was nothing.  No audio or keyup. Then I want to get DMR local 2 on my ASL node. Or is there a better way? Should I get my xlxd reflector working internally and then transcode from there?

No it is not trying to transcode from D-Star. I'm betting you have UDP port problems. The DVSwitch install is pre-configured  to just drop in. When you run DVS it gives you the option to set the UDP ports on Analog _Bridge. Just leave them at default.
If you can put all the ports back to default. Look at the logs for info as to where you are having a failure.

What all files do you need? Also tried to enable DMR and YSF to get it out of DMR mode and that didn't work. I also have an issue connecting to remote ircddbgateway. Gateway address is my ircddbgateway computer. but the gateway address should be 20028 and local should be 20010. But to get it to work. I had to do gatewayport 20010 and local pot 20028 I am so confused.

All I want to do is get DSTAR linked back to ASL. dummyrepeater doesn't work anymore. I would get good audio through. But when DSTAR went back there was nothing.  No audio or keyup. Then I want to get DMR local 2 on my ASL node. Or is there a better way? Should I get my xlxd reflector working internally and then transcode from there?

Okay Steve,

I reloaded everything to default. I am getting this now. Which is a good sign.

M: 2021-01-19 02:12:26.829 D-Star, received network header from KB8PMY P/6017 to CQCQCQ  
M: 2021-01-19 02:12:29.553 D-Star, received network end of transmission, 2.7 seconds, 0% packet loss, BER: 0.0%

So with this I get no audio the Analog. But I get analog to digital.

It I put the gateway to the port of repeater 2. I get this error.

M: 2021-01-19 02:11:01.953 D-Star packet received from an invalid source, A902000A != A902000A and/or 20028 != 20010

The correct reading above this one.  to get it to work. Gateway is 20010 and local address is 20028

ip address 144 is where my asterisk and the dvswitch
