DMRgateway
by Robert Newberry 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

I have two questions. I noticed if I am in a conversation with someone on allstar analog and it is being repeated out over DMR. If I reply before the tail of the repeater drops my audio is not passed to the analog side, even though the repeater acknowledges me and allows me to TX. I was guessing maybe this has something to do with my config in rpt.conf. Has anyone experienced this? Second question, audio quality going from DMR to analog, is there anyway to adjust it to get more "highs" I see there are audio adjustments, but I was hesitant to make any adjustments until I found out if anyone else noticed this. The compliments I get from analog users is good, most people don't even believe I'm on DMR talking to them on analog. The only comment I get is "bassy audio." Overall it's good!

Does anyone on the list know where is the best place to get the latest copy of software for the dv4mini? Now that my repeater is out of the house, I'll be using my mini more. N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086, 42658, 42657

updates?
by Robert Newberry 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Any updates on projects on here? Its been quite on here. I know Steve and Mike were working some sort of radioless DMR station using a RPI2 and a DV3000. For me I got my DMR repeater on the air running DMRlink and DMRgateway. Seems to be going well. I may make some adjustments I noticed that when someone is on Allstar analog that there is a tail on DMR that forces the user to wait until the channel is not busy. I haven’t looked into it, its either a setting in the RPT.conf or the repeater itself. I got my stuff to start on the mmdvm, no progress yet.

New repeater on air
by Robert Newberry 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Just wanted to let everyone know on the list. My XPR8300 repeater will be going on the air tomorrow in West Bath, Maine. Also along with that will be DMRlink and DMRgateway, which has been successfully been running in my basement for a few months now. It will be 150 up on the tower with a 8 bay UHF dipole fed with 1" 5/8 hard line. I've run coverage studies and it seems like the site will cover a large area. I have a second repeater waiting in the wings and good site that will cover another large area that will provide some overlapping coverage to West Bath. I need to clear a few projects off the books first before I go to that. N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086, 42658, 42657

We have posted a updated image of DIAL for the Raspberry Pi. The updated image supports both the Pi2 and the Pi3. It will boot on either machine. There are a few minor bug fixes. Nothing major. A major update is in process now. This will give people who want to run the latest Raspberry Pi a AllStar image today. <http://dl.allstarlink.org/dial/rpi2_dial.img> md5sum = efa5473ee220b1356fa347f1dc9854fc For INAD, 73 Steve N4IRS -- "It just works."

DMRGateway on 2100
by Steve Zingman 13 Mar '16

13 Mar '16

I have changed the TalkGroups that 2100 is connected to for testing. As of now: BrandMeister reflector 4639 is receive only DMR-MARC North America is receive only SandBox is Tranceive. When you listen to 2100 see if you hear a difference in audio quality between DMR-MARC and BrandMeister. Please let me know what you think. 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

status so far
by Robert Newberry 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Going to call it a night, the bridge appears to be working OK. I am hearing feeds from other networks. I do not have the gateway running yet. for audio in either direction. When ambe_audio.py runs I am not seeing any errors on DEBUG. I am how ever not seeing any traffic when I key up my HT, which leads me to believe I've missed a setting somewhere. I would assume I should see some reference to TS and TG that it might be seeing. Now I'm too a point where I'm spinning my wheels and need some rest.
