Welcome to DVSwitch
Purpose
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
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.

We are a few days away from the alpha release of the new programs MMDVM_Bridge and Quantar_Bridge. We will also release a alpha of Analog_Bridge that you will need to do P25 <---> DMR. We have been testing the P25 bridge on TG 31665 and do not expect any issues. 73, Steve N4IRS

My DMR<> ASL seems to be down….Upgraded to latest versions from Github, however I think there might be a problem with my AMBE USB vocoder….How long should the python script take to provide results? Its just hanging on “Testing Reset DV3000” ?

Re: HBlink BM Issue Fixed
Corey Dean N3FE <n3fe@...>
I have not seen it and I am connected to 3102 as well as a client. I have had my client running for well over a month. When I do updates to 3102, like this morning, my hb-Bridge connects right back up. I believe Cort may have fixed this a few months ago and the version I am running is from about a month and a half ago.

Re: HBLink <-> IPSC2 error message
Mike Norrbom
I have been able to link DMRlink to IPSC2 but I have not tried the HBlink yet. I can try to connect up HBlink and see what happens.
Just out of curiosity, Why are you not connecting the repeaters directly to IPSC2? What do you want HBlink to do for you?
Also, make sure you have the IPSC2 server setup to accept connections from a MMDVM connection for the HBlink software.
Thanks, Mike

No we just install HBLink (not HB_Bridge) like a client of IPSC2. IPSC2 see HBLink like a MMDVM.
we have not tested HB_Bridge yet!

Re: DMRlink issue
Hi Cort , my configuration is basic for the moment , i try to find way to connect with IPSC2 , at first tests i try to use DMRLink as MASTER <-> IPSC2 and take the upper msg error , now try as PEER <-> IPSC2 and show to working and stay connected. Next steps is to configure the bridge.
Maybe all config is wrong [IPSC2_GR_PEER] ENABLED: True RADIO_ID: 202091 IP: PORT: 50000 ALIVE_TIMER: 5 MAX_MISSED: 20 PEER_OPER: True IPSC_MODE: DIGITAL TS1_LINK: True TS2_LINK: True CSBK_CALL: False RCM: False CON_APP: False XNL_CALL: False XNL_MASTER: False DATA_CALL: True VOICE_CALL: True MASTER_PEER: False AUTH_ENABLED: True AUTH_KEY: 7XX57XX5XX MASTER_IP: 81.4.XXX.XXX MASTER_PORT: 56002 GROUP_HANGTIME: 5

Re: DMRlink issue
Cort N0MJS <n0mjs@...>
It means the peer with radio ID 1202001 is not registered with DMRlink, but is sending keep-alives. Most likely the peer *believes* it is registered, but it is not.
With incomplete topology information about your network setup and no additional logs, configurations, etc., that’s about all I can tell you.

DMRlink issue
Hello guys , its possible to explain me why a connection between IPSC2 and DMRlink take this msg at logs :

Re: Call routing cluster
Petr,

Questions are no problem. We need to do a better job with the Wiki. The short answers to your example: You will start hb_confbridge.py, it will start hblink for you. hblink.py is the lowest level log the HB "stack" it handles connecting to servers and accepting connections from clients. It defines logging and table lookups for subscriber IDs etc. On it's own it does vary little BUT is is required. The first step in setting up a hblink application is to make sure hblink.py is properly configured. hb_confbridge will sub-class hblink.py Think of it as hb_confbridge calls hblink when it needs to communicate with Servers and Clients. (Don't shoot me guys) You do not define repeaters or client s that can connect to the Master (Server). You define a a "place" where the repeater can connect to. in the sample config, that is [MASTER-1] Multiple clients can connect to that Master or you can define multiple Master sections. To connect hblink to a BM master, you connect as a client. Setup the client the same way you would in MMDVMHost. Hope this helps. 73, Steve N4IRS
