Some have already bridged digital to analog if you're trying to reach a certain reflector/Allstar system so you could access those from the Openspot. Though, the latency is terrible, and the audio quality is not that great. It kind of mars the experience on both sides, digital and analog. If you would just like to get on Allstar you're better off just making/getting your own personal node, equivalent of an analog hotspot. Good place to begin is https://allstarsetup.com/. He'll even sell you a fob and modified HT pretty economically if you don't want to mod it yourself (I have no connection to the seller). He also lists the other options for fobs to purchase... All you then need to add is a Raspberry Pi and software. For example, I'm running my personal node on just a Pi 3A+ ($25).

Because you need a way to convert digital and analog between one another....
