Thanks Mike for the reply. 

My setup right now is DV4Mini and the Control Panel on my PC. But I really want to understand and help with the Allstar to DMR if I can.. I'm not a programmer and I'm very new to DMR. So the best I can do would be that guy to help test maybe. I can open my firewall to one of my RPi 2 on a 2nd network here at home so you could connect and play on the RPi 2.

How are you connecting DMR to apt_rpt. Are you using chan_usrp? If so can you share your setup?

Thanks again Mike

David,

The ambe_audio.py is using a list of Talk Groups (TG).  When ever any of the TGs in the list are encountered, the AMBE will be decoded and passed to Allstar.  The current list of TGs is defined in ambe_audio.cfg:

_tg_filter = 2,3,13,3174,3777215,3100,9,9998,3112

So, node 2100 is looking for all of the above and will re-transmit them on Allstar.  Looking deeper, we see TG9, but what reflector?  We are currently pointing our TG9 routes to reflector 4639 as you can see here:

http://174.36.222.36/

Now, with that said, I did notice last night that when I was playing on TG9/4639 and I was not seeing myself on the log output of DMRLink.  Steve may have turned that off for a moment or there was a connectivity problem, but you should be able to use your DV4Mini with standard control panel and transmit on 4639 and hear yourself on 2100.

Hello Mike, I have some questions about the DV4Mini I hope you could answer for me. When I have it setup I going seem to get the Talkgroup 9. I'm using a MD380 radio and would like to get on North America so I can hear myself on the Allstar node 2100. I have North America programmed on my radio. 

Any help would be great.

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
