Nope, I use DMR and also have D-STAR capability. ;)

No....thought about getting a radio to play with it...but I haven't. I have DSTAR here.

Thanks!

Cool. Just attached to the room. All quiet right now.

I went with the HRI-200 node at home.

I have D-STAR capability also, might be time to start a weekly D-STAR group
to discuss setting up the packet :)

I need to setup some sort of D-STAR network access first. :)

DMR is easier to organise for me, I have a hotspot on Brandmeister.

I haven't purchased a DMR radio... I have P25 and D-STAR. I also have a hotspot that I could leave connected to your local repeater. I haven't used
it since I set it up tho, I have to be honest the digital modes over the internet don't really excite me. I'm an analog type of guy :)

I will pull out the D-STAR radio today and charge it since it's just sitting
in the box and I'll get out the hotspot and see if there are any updates that need to be done.

When I was playing around with the hotspot originally about two years ago or
so there were D-STAR and DMR bridge networks available on my hotspot, perhaps we could discuss what the primary digital HT everyone has and start there,
then bridge in the other radios and get a talk group going.

They have their uses. The main downside for me is that proprietary vocoder, which makes integration much more expensive. Instread of a simply software bridge like Asterisk or thelinkbox, you have to buy a hardware adapter and have your software talk to that for transcoding. And that gets expensive very quickly. It's also a pain if you use a VPS, because you have to send the audio to a site with the hardware and back again. :/

I'm not doing any of that (haven't had the money), but others have.

Well, I'm setup for DMR. I can do D-STAR, but would have to manually configure the hotspot to do so. Ideally, I'd like a second hotspot for D-STAR.

I wish I remembered, it was custom build and I believe the software was from your neck of the woods. The device is benched and in a box, however I can
see what box it's in and touch it, so it wouldn't take took much of an
endeavor to make it active again. I have so many projects I need a handful
of people to manage it all :) Sounds like you do as well.

Tell you what, before you do any additional work let me get my D-Star HT charged and get my hotspot connected, updated to the latest code and linked
to your repeater and I'll drop your call sign a couple times to see if I hear anything back. Once I get there I'll let you know :) What's the local repeater you would use with D-Star?

Cool. I'd be curious, and I made a discovery last night that there are actually software implementations of the AMBE codecs out there. DVSwitch can use a couple of them, like the MD380 emulator, which can do AMBE as used in DMR and YSF-n, and OP25, which can do all of the codecs in current use on VHF/UHF (AMBE - DMR, YSF-n, DSAMBE - D-STAR, IMBE - P25, YSF-w).

Limited selection here. I may have to resort to using DVSwitch with AllStar, though apparently the OP25 implementation of the codec isn't the greatest.
