-====== Allstar : The Nodes ======
-===== VHF Gateway =====
-|Platform| Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1 |
-|Interface|CM108 Soundcard - modified|
-|Radio|FT-1500M @ 5W|
-|Frequency|144.900MHz|
-|Allstar Node | [[http://stats.allstarlink.org/stats/481480 | 481480]] |
-|Echolink | GM4SLV-L : 886089 |
-|Dashboard| http://gm4slv.plus.com:42110/|
-The initial node, described here -> [[gm4slv_allstar_2025|]] got too cumbersome after adding DMR Bridging, along with handling Echolink.
-I decided, since I had a few spare Raspberry Pi boards doing nothing much, to split the DMR Bridging to a separate node.
-I removed the DVSwitch bridging from the VHF Gateway node and changed its node ID to ''481480'' (NNX)
-===== DMR Bridging Node =====
-|Platform | Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 |
-|Allstar Node | [[http://stats.allstarlink.org/stats/481481 | 481481]] |
-|Dashboard| http://gm4slv.plus.com:42111/|
-This one is for running DVSwitch to bridge to (at the moment) TGIF TG23544<color red>29</color> (my so-called //ID Talkgroup// )
-I added the DVSwitch software, in the same way described here [[gm4slv_allstar_2025|]] and decided to bridge to ''TGIF'' instead of Brandmeister.
-I also decided to use the ''md380_emu'' emulator for the AMBE transcoding.

-Experiment 2
-Saturday 7th June 2025
-Change this DMR bridge to TGIF TG23544<color red>35</color>
-This is the ID Talkgroup for my 2<sup>nd</sup> DMR ID
-</note>
-  * MMDVM_Bridge set to connect to TGIF, using my <color red>alternative</color> DMR ID, as hotspot ''235443598''
-    * this requires the correct User Security passphrase for ''2354435''
-  * Also confirmed operation with MMDVM_Bridge connecting as //normal// ''235442998'' (my "usual" DMR ID with SSID=98)
-  * Analog_Bridge set to use TG23544<color red>__35__</color>
