VRM 650 -850
by Steve Zingman 10 Jun '16

To keep the formatting issues down, I save my notes on the VRM650 / 850 as a PDF. These radios are great both as digital or analog. Good for link radios, small repeaters etc. <https://www.dropbox.com/s/0tpepl94wwt5qe2/Motorola%20VRM%20650%20-%20850.pdf> Steve

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
by Robert Newberry 08 Jun '16

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?

DVSwitch Fusion Reflector

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.

Brandmeister strangeness
by Robert Newberry 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

So I'll ask here, title says it all. I've been using 31093 all along its worked, then for about a half hour I can't pass any audio. Can't see myself of hear myself thru last heard or hose. Then poof it starts working again. The IRC channel seems like a great place to talk to myself...The strange part is my dv4mini worked all along on 31093. So I tried other BM TGs in my bridge and they all work just fine. What's the scoop does brandmiester experience hiccups from time to time and the admins keep it tight lippped? I've experienced strange things that last ever so briefly but the start working again with in a hour or less.

Audio board for AllStar
by Steve Zingman 17 May '16

17 May '16

I see that NW Digital has published a block diagram of their upcoming UDRC board. It looks like it will be possible to make it work with AllStar. Mike and I will take a look at Dayton and maybe get a couple so we can make it work with AllStar. It's early, so we have to see how it goes. the diagram is at <http://nwdigitalradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/UDRCDS.pdf> 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

DMRGateway more testing
by Robert Newberry 17 May '16

17 May '16

I have been using ASL to steer to Area 3 on BM to do some testing with N3FE. We noticed some things. The audio delay starts out at about 1-2 seconds then goes to about 20 seconds. I know a while back Steve mentioned turning back all of the logging, which I did. Sometimes not all audio from analog makes it to DMR. Could this have something to do with maybe slot being busy that the particular ID uses? I think this has already been addressed Cory noted a tail on the DMR side, I've turned all of that off in the rpt.conf, but I believe you mentioned there is a tail being introduced by usrp. The last I doubt there's much that can be done. The quality of audio is quite usable but does sound different than dmr to dmr, with the same person. A non technical description was "squashed".
