AllStar Linking

The Nodes

VHF Gateway

Platform Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1
InterfaceCM108 Soundcard - modified
RadioFT-1500M @ 5W
Frequency144.900MHz
Allstar Node 481480
Echolink GM4SLV-L : 886089
Dashboard via 481481's Allmon3

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)

Wed 11th June 2025

Disabled Echolink on this node, and re-enabled it on Test Node 481482 instead.

DMR Bridging Node

Platform Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5
Allstar Node 481481
Dashboard http://gm4slv.plus.com:42111/
New hardware and OS install

https://allstarlink.github.io/install/debian/install/

Pi OS Lite (Debian Bookworm) was installed first, then the ASL repository and finally ASL3 and Allmon3.

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 and decided to bridge to TGIF instead of Brandmeister.

I also decided to use the md380_emu emulator for the AMBE transcoding.
