[Allstar Digital] Allstar <> dstar bridging PiDV

Steve

1)    Will you also support the Blue Dongle? Or which version of the NWD 
3000 will  you use? I will have to get one.

2)    Do you also think that you can port the DMR Gateway to Compass?

If you could support both  the Blue Dongle and the NWD 3000 together with 
Allstar, it would be great.

Thanks
