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: Is DNS Supported In The Latest MMDVM Bridge?
The question is, how it was installed. Please show the output of
apt-get update.

Is DNS Supported In The Latest MMDVM Bridge?
I have a 2-year old installation of MMDVM_Bridge / DVSwitch that I am using for a YSF reflector -to- YSF reflector connection.
Due to some network changes, the IP address of one of the reflectors has changed a couple times recently. Does that latest version of MMDVM_Bridge support DNS so that I can avoid having to edit INI files?

Yeah I was about to say I'm sure I
built my P25Reflector from source.

The statement of, "You now have the COMPLETE DVSwitch Server
installed.," is correct. The P25 reflector is not part of
DVSwitch Server.

I have an existing stretch VM running:
My goal is to get up to the latest code base for all involved models. It appears that this install was done a few years ago using the old MMDVM-Install process. Should I try and backup/update on this machine or start with a new VM and fresh install then migrate my configs? I did try the latter and following the DVSwitch-System-Builder process outlined here: https://github.com/DVSwitch/DVSwitch-System-Builder But despite the statement of, "You now have the COMPLETE DVSwitch Server installed.," I noticed that I did not have the P25Reflector installed. So does that mean that I still need to piece things together to get an updated version of what I currently have? If so, what's the best repository to pull from? Thoughts and/or advice appreciated.

Re: PLS HELP - private dmr server
try again you can do DMR and hotspots with an XLX server

Re: PLS HELP - private dmr server
Jeff Lehman, N8ACL
Instead of trying to use HB link or DVSwitch, look at configuring an XLX server. It supports DMR, D-Star and YSF out of the box and is much easier to setup, especially if you are not going to interconnect it to another network…
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The only thing to keep in mind is you will need hardware for transcoding D-star… otherwise, it will handle DMR and YSF without hardware…. This is how I setup a “private” DMR for my local club.

I am at the point where i am about to pay someone to teamviewer into my pc and set this up for me...
I have a private p25 server setup and running well on a remote server but not everyone has access to p25 equipment so i want to do the same with DMR without connecting to any other networks with the view to potentially bridge my p25 and dmr servers in the future (gotta get dmr working first) i have followed chris's videos and have looked at everything on here and i am still none the wiser somebody please help this NOOB Thankyou in advance

Re: MMDVM_Bridge Updates
#mmdvm_bridge
Hi
Is possible, using connector with BM and this one with YSF reflector. We have 3 Wires-x connections and an IMRS repeater

FWIW: There is no way to connect a WIRES x room directly to a reflector other than through RF, at least if you want to keep it purely in the digital domain. I'm doing this through analog, connecting a Yaesu HRI-200 to an Allstar node, but that's completely different.
