Has anyone successfully connected and used a Motorola XPR8300 repeater with both Allstar and DMR? We would like to install one that will do both. 73, Eric Guth 4Z1UG Allstar: 28422 QSO Today<http://www.qsotoday.com/>
Eric, A quick answer is, yes it can be done. The question is what you are trying to do. A XPR8300 can be connected to a URI just like any other Analog repeater. All the signals you need are on the 26 pin connector. In that configuration, with the repeater configured in Dynamic Mixed Mode (an option available for purchase from Motorola) DMR traffic would be repeated locally and analog traffic would go to AllStarLink. The problem with Dynamic Mixed Mode is that IP site connect is not available for DMR. This means no DMR networking, local DMR repeat only. If you want to connect the XPR8300 in DMR mode to one of the DMR networks, DMR-MARC, DCI, or BrandMeister AND AllStarLink, there is another way. You can run a "bridge" between the XPR8300 in DMR mode and AllStarLink. There is a discussion group dedicated to that type of bridging at <https://groups.io/g/DVSwitch> 73, Steve N4IRS On 12/10/2017 04:48 AM, Eric EG. Guth wrote:
