-====== 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]] |

-|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 =====

-|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.

-; Analog_Bridge configuration file.
-;   This file should be placed in either /etc or it can be
-;   supplied as a path on the Analog_Bridge command line.
-; The best way to think of this file is that there are two main sections, the USRP (analog audio) and
-; AMBE_AUDIO (compressed audio).  Analog_Bridge will take everything sent to the USRP port and
-; encode it for transmission on the AMBE_AUDIO port.  The encoder will use the format defined in ambeMode.
-; As you might expect, the reverse direction is defined too.
-; Analog_Bridge supports include files. More on this later...
-include = dvsm.macro
-; include = asl.macro
-; General Section describes settings for Analog_Bridge itself.

-colorCode = 1                           ; Color Code to assign DMR frames
-; Information for USRP channel driver.  This interface uses PCM to transfer audio information
-; There are two typical configurations, ASL and Transcode.  ASL (AllstarLink) is for analog clients connected
-; to a digital network.  Transcode is when Analog_Bridge actually points its PCM interfaces back at itself,
-; causing a TLV <-- (pcm <--> pcm) --> TLV type of architecture.
-;   When using ASL, this matches the rpt.conf ASL file with a setting like:
-;   rxchannel = usrp/127.0.0.1:34001:32001
-;   When Transcoding, make two ini files and set txPort equal to the other instance rxPort (crossover).  Launch
-;   each instance with its own ini file.

-usrpAGC = -20,10,100                    ; Set the agc threshold (db), slope (db) and decay (ms)
-tlvAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN                  ; Analog -> Digital (AUDIO_UNITY, AUDIO_USE_GAIN, AUDIO_BPF)
-tlvGain = 1.0                          ; Gain factor when tlvAudio = AUDIO_USE_GAIN (0.0 to 5.0) (1.0 = AUDIO_UNITY)
-[MACROS]

-; xxxx=yyyy
-; xxxx is the dial string to match
-; yyyy is the command line to execute
-; xxxx must be preceded by a *
-; xxxx can be any string (alphanumeric)
-; yyyy is the command to execute
-; yyyy will replace xxxx in the dial string
-; arguments follow the macro name with a # delimiter
-; For example using macro "5678" above would look like:
-; *5678#9876
-; Which would invoke:
-; echo 9876
-; Information for DV3000 hardware decoder
-;   There are two configuration modes: IP (AMBEServer) and serial (direct connect hardware)
-;   Use top server and port if using AMBEServer
-;   Use bottom server/port and serial = true if using the DV3000u (thumbdv)
-;   Did you run AMBETest4.py before using this?
