You are correct in the statement that the DV4mini needs additional hardware to handle the transcoding from a digital radio. Once I get my nodes back up on my Raspberry Pi, I will work on an updated version of the D-STAR channel driver that supports DMR and Fusion AMBE encoding and decoding as well as radio control functionality for the DV4mini.<br>

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.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mike</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 28, 2015 at 5:48 PM, Neil k8it <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:k8it@cac.net" target="_blank">k8it@cac.net</a>></span> wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<div><font face="Calibri">3. With the new Mini-DV4 dongle $125 and the
amount of capability, has anybody wrote a channel driver to tie the Yaesu Fusion

there, we just need someone to write the channel driver</font></div>

<div><br /></div>Mac,<br />The RPi2 install is pretty much download the image, burn
it to SD card,.<br />Once the Pi boots, you can login on the HDMI / USB console,
or SSH into the board on port 222.<br />The board is setup for DHCP so check your
DHCP (router) server for address.<br />If you want, you can login via the built in
serial port at 115,200<br />System will walk you through setup.<br /><br />FAQ for
DIAL is at:<br /><a href="http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/170%3E" target="_blank"><http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/170></a><br /><br />73,
