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.

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar

I doubt it matters which is which. I would keep the working hotspot and configure the second repeater for DummyRepeater.

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar

So, the solution is to swap Repeater 1 and Repeater 2 on the gateway so Dummy is repeater 1 and Hotspot repeater is repeater 2? I had set Dummy to use port 20012 on Repeater 2. It's easy to make the

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar

Based on the fact that DummyRepeater and ircDDBGateway are on 2 different computers I see the default for Repeater 1 set to port 20011 and DummyRepeater sets the local port to 20011 It make

Maybe this will help: root@bridge:~# netstat -unap | grep dummy udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:34001 0.0.0.0:* 404/dummyrepeater udp 0

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar

You may want to list the machines and addresses involved. What is the IP of the DummyRepeater machine? What is the IP address of the Gateway? What is the result of netstat -unap?

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar

Mike, I'm not sure what you mean when you say 127.0.0.1 does not work with DummyRepeater Just to make sure you understand the data flow: ircDDBGateway <---> DummyRepeater <---> Analog_Bridge <--->

Thank You Matthew, I'm running a HBlink server which is connected to three BrandMeister servers, Finland, Sweden and Hungary. Handling the beacon message at MMDVM host side seems to be necessary. If

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar

Steve, 127.0.0.1 on Dummy Repeater does not work. 192.168.1.10 does. Presumably this is because the ircddbgateway is on 192.168.1.9 and in the repeater 2 settings I could not specify 127.0.0.1 (that

Re: Analog Bridge and DStar

Steve, I read "If you need to use other ports or addresses, you can define them in the environment before you start dummyrepeter." Where do I make these changes if needed?

Bob, Thanks for the input, that's what I heard as well. Steve was on DMR, so it was DMR <---> ASL <---> P25 We have to do more testing of ASL ---> P25 to get the audio dialed in. There
