Bridging the GAP !!
The first EchoLink server from Pakistan connecting the analog RF network to IP was put into production in 2012 and has been maintained for the last 10 years now. Over the last few years, addition to the network was done in form of adding ASL (AllStarLink) with MMDVM bridge to Brandmeister running on a Raspberry Pi3, moving from windows to linux infrastructure etc so that anyone with an analog RF would be able to communicate with anyone on Echolink and BM talkgroup.
Recently, the installation of DMR repeaters presented an opportunity to build a mesh network. Upon researching the technologies and how we would be able to achieve this (courtesy ke6yjc), a DMR Master Server was required. BM connectivity was dropped from the design for now as it requires OpenBridge connectivity from HBLink and associated approvals from BM thus the final design of integrating currently install infrastructure with the new was
Installed DUDE-Starx64 to test on windows 10.
