David, If you notice, your radio is programmed for CC1, TS2, TG9 and then you say, out TG4639. With the DV4M software, you can select which reflector you connect to. In other words you use the DV4M software to choose the Master AND reflector number. The way we are connected to DMRPlus is the same, we select the Master we stay connected to. The difference is how we choose which reflector to connect to. If I want Ref 4639, I have in my contact list 4639, I press PTT, release PTT and switch back to TG9, I will hear the voice confirmation "reflector 4639" I'm transmitting TG9 and receiving TG9. I believe that you can do the same thing with a DV4M. I'll try it when I get a chance. 73, Steve N4IRS On 12/09/2015 03:11 PM, David KE6UPI wrote: > Hey Steve, > > Right my DMR radio is set to Color 1 TS 2 and TG9 that passes through > to my DV4Mini and software to the DMR master "Master-USA-NE-VA" then > out TG4639 "Nationwide". > > David > > On Wed, Dec 9, 2015 at 11:37 AM, Steve Zingman <szingman(a)msgstor.com > <mailto:szingman@msgstor.com>> wrote: > > David, > The way a reflector works is you talk on TG9 all the time.

DV4Mini
by Mike Zingman 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

So we have a different thread for this device.. >From my perspective the dv4m is an interesting widget. The hardware is not special (it has been done before) but it is solid and inexpensive. It offers a fully digital interface to DMR from the RF side. With the published interface (see http://dv4m.ham-dmr.ch/Dokumentation/TechnicalDocs/dv4mini_interface.pdf) you can fully control the radio. The challenge is to use the raw I/O commands and build up an OPEN system that will let us experiment. Towards that end I have started a framework that lets me communicate with the dongle. This was fairly easy and is currently sending and receiving DMR frames from my host software. I have also added code to the host to send and receive point to point packets of DMR frames and will be testing this soon. I have more work to do here to finish the frame decoder, which will be used to better synchronize the two peers. As you might expect, I have several different projects all in the works, so multitasking this at the moment. My eventual goal is to have a generic framework that I can then use to connect any source with any sinc (read local DMR subscriber radio with the world). So, why reinvent the wheel? The dv4m already connects with the DMRPlus and other networks. What more could a ham want? The easy answer: to experiment. The current code is not *open* and can not be used as the basis for other projects. In order to make this happen, open source is required. All of the code I am working on for the dv4m will be published so others can build upon it. Mike

Sorry Guys, I'm Sorry. Can you point me to what config files need to be changed. -- In 1988, America was strong. We had Ronald Reagan, Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope. Today, we have Obama, no Jobs, no Cash, and no Hope. Thanks, David

DMRGateway install script
by Steve Zingman 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

I have updated the repo and added a script to install DMRlink, DV3000 and DMRGateway on a RPi2 DIAL. to run: login as root cd /srv wget https://github.com/N4IRS/DMRlink/raw/master/dmr_install chmod +x dmr_install ./dmr_install Once complete, reboot. You now have all the parts. 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

Yes I added sudo to the overall install script. Ignore test2.

I will post the script that builds all the pieces later today. Steve On 12/06/2015 01:03 PM, Robert Newberry wrote: I just want to clarify, I don't want my hand held, but I want to try this.

DMRlink
by Robert Newberry 06 Dec '15

06 Dec '15

When I get my raspberry pi to start testing with my 8300 what size card should I get? Also what OS should I load? I've set up IPSC systems before with a master and peer. What I'm not sure of is the bridge actually the master and the repeaters peers? I don't think there is anywhere in the CPS to designate a bridge.
