DMRlink and timers
by Robert Newberry 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

I have a few questions, one is I see that BM now offers the TAC channels. Which I know are normally PTT activated. For me to contact BM and request them, I believe I would have them up full time and would hear everything. Regardless if I activate them locally. The second question is if I was to peer to someone's Rayfield bridge could the PTT activation time be controlled at the Rayfield bridge? I was offered a connection to a bridge but only a CC connection which I can not do.

NeilThe vrms are MCS2000 used as a data modem. They are actual mobile radios. Putting them in Vrm mode makes them a data radio which is neededChuck K0XM Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device -------- Original message -------- From: Neil k8it <k8it(a)cac.net> Date: 6/10/16 2:21 PM (GMT-06:00) To: Digital linking using Asterisk and app_rpt <allstar-digital(a)lists.keekles.org> Subject: Re: [Allstar Digital] VRM 650 -850 I guess I need to keep searching this listing saids modems only what nodee are you monitoring ?

MMDVM analog
by Robert Newberry 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

I'm getting ready for a MMDVM build. I'm pretty sure that the MMDVM and switch back and forth from DMR and C4FM for example. Can it do analog as well? I guessing the issue will be if it can do analog getting the audio to Allstar would be the issue.

2100 testing

Has there been any findings with the testing on 2100? I haven't been able to drop in much and was wondering if any audio delay has been observed. N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086, 42658, 42657 www.radioguysrepeaternetwork.com

DPAC
by Robert Newberry 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

So I watched the YouTube video with Steve talking about the DPAC. I have an MTR2000, zum, arduino, and rpi3. I've thought about building a mmdvm, but I'd want it to tie into my allstar network, so I've held back since I haven't seen much talk about it. So from watching this video it looks like this product will do both of my requirements. There doesn't seem to be much information about the DPAC, other than the youtube video. Can you tell us more?

As a precursor to a future DVSwitch network connector, I have created a Fusion Reflector for the MMDVM on a public host. The reflector is open to all.

DMRGateway on ASL 2100
by Steve Zingman 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Well, We survived Dayton. ;) More about this in a future post. We received a lot of good feedback about DMRGateway and DMRGui. Mike and I are working on a roadmap for future programs. At this point DMRgateway is pretty solid and we will be publishing the source soon. I'm thinking it's time to lock down DMRGateway on 2100 as a full time gateway between ASL and BrandMeister. I don't think it's a good idea to put it in transceive on a busy TG like 3100. I think our best bet is to put it on a dedicated TG full time. In looking around there is a TG "assigned" to AllStar on DCI. It's TG 3167 TS2. DMRGateway is steerable and we may in the future allow it to be moved around with a timer that puts it back to 3167 after a period of time. Anybody have another idea. Note, to support a second or third full time TS/TG each gateway requires a DV3000 from NW Digital Radio. (This is NOT a request for additional equipment) 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic
