[App_rpt-users] DIAL Question

[Mike Zingman]

Actually the DV4Mini alone does not help tie Allstar into Wires-X.  In
order to do that one must:

1) Have an interface to the YSF network protocol
2) Decode and extract the AMBE frames from the streamed protocol
3) Transcode the frames to PCM at the proper sample rate using the DVSI
AMBE3000 chipset
4) Send those frames to something like the already created USRP channel
driver

In reverse, 4, 3, 2, 1 to send data back to the YSF network.  In addition
to the simple outline above, you would want to
a) Add audio filtering/shaping to make the AMBE audio more acceptable to
what we are used to on Allstar (one of the single greatest aspects of
Allstar is the audio quality)
b) Transfer of as much metadata between the networks as possible

The DV4Mini is a radio module + digital modulator (DStar/DMR/YSF).  It has
no AMBE encode/decode hardware so there is no way to transcode the audio
content.  For that a "ThumbDV" or a DV3000 would be the hardware of
choice.  The DV4Mini could be used as a user radio on an existing RF
network, but one would still need the AMBE3K to do the transcode.
