DMRGateway can  use either AMBEServer or a direct connection to the ThumbDV or PiDV, so your options are open.
If you have all the code on one machine, there is no reason to use AMBEServer.
I *do* happen to use it because my development efforts bridge many physical machines and rather than moving the xxDV from machine to machine, a server is more practical.  But for most users, this would not be the case.

Be advised that the PiDV is currently not stocked, but the AMBEserver
works just as well with a ThumbDV.  Also AMBEserver can be compiled on

Ohh so many options so much fun...

Me thinks another pi and dv3000 is in order.

Maybe spool up a system at home that way I don't take out my working system.

Short answer, no. But, DMRlink conference bridge and I think HBlink
conference bridge do reduce the keyups going out on the target network.
Conference bridge supports User Activated TGs. BUT, the connection is not
made until the carrier drops. So, the keyup never goes out the network. The
next transmission is bridged.

thanks for that explaination.
would this approach offer some methods to resolbe the constant keyups from
stations trying to connect to a tg?
could the audio vbe delayed just enough to detect balid audio from a local
station, while masking just keyups.
since this approach offers more sysop control, maybe the connect requests/
disconects can handled via another ip port etc...

hb_ambe_audio does the same job for HBlink as ambe_audio does for DMRlink.

The advantage of using HBlink instead of DMRlink with BrandMeister is that
with DMRlink / BM you need a BM admin to setup a static TS/TG path for a
specific Radio ID. With HBlink / BM you can define the TS/TG and Radio ID
yourself.

Think of it this way, DMRlink looks to BM as a SmartPTT connection and
requires BM admin intervention. HBlink looks to BM as a MMDVM connection and
requires no BM admin intervention (other then making you a sysop of that
radio ID.

BTW, had some great QSOs yesterday in "dongle mode", which is using
hb_ambe_audio + DMRGateway + mic/speaker.  Worked great.

Mike and I are beta testing ambe_audio and DMRGateway for HBlink. So far
so good. The issues with fluttering analog signals and fast keyups has been
addressed.
This should resolve the issue of the outbound DMR signal lagging behind
the analog signal more then a short normal display.

This is BETA testing. It is not ready to be released. I am connecting to
a number of high activity ASL hubs to test operation. Right one I have it in
receive ONLY so we have one way ASL ---> DMR. I am testing on BM The DMR ID
is 1311222 and the TG 311222. The ASL node connected is 2135. Let's see how
this goes.

One advantage to hb_audio is that there is no longer a need to involve BM
sysadmins to setup static routing for your connection to BM.
hb_ambe_audio also supports smaller local networks of MMDVM based devices
without the need for a BM server or a c-Bridge.

hb_ambe_audio and hb_parrot provides us insight into connecting other
devices to a HBlink network.
