[Allstar Digital] DMR-DSTAR bridge

[Mike Zingman]

So,

1) The real encode/decode is done with an AMBE 3000 (like the dv3000, etc)
2) The DV3000 produces PCM audio frames
3) Those frames can be sent as uLAW, but this may not be what you want since
3a) Asterisk may need to transcode to some other format depending on
connections
3b) Asterisk internally runs on PCM and only transcodes when needed

I would use the USRP channel driver since it handles PCM frames, is
bidirectional, does PTT and I have already used it in this mode.

Just my view.
