The initial node, described here → A new start 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)
Echolink Config
DMR Bridging Node
Platform | Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 |
OS | Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) |
ASL Version | 3.7.1-1.deb |
Allstar Node | 481481 |
Dashboard | http://gm4slv.plus.com:42111/ |
Installed OS first Pi OS 64 bit Lite →
then the ASL repository and finally ASL3 and Allmon3 following guide at:
https://allstarlink.github.io/install/debian/install/
I found this much nicer than the “Pi Appliance” method.
This one is for running DVSwitch to bridge to (at the moment) TGIF TG2354429 (my so-called ID Talkgroup )
I added the DVSwitch software, in the same way described here A new start 2025 (using bookworm
in place of buster
) and decided to bridge to TGIF
instead of Brandmeister.
I also decided to use the md380_emu
emulator for the AMBE transcoding.
