TG98977 and Echolink N2RAC-L and YSF 72170 "openGD77"

Post by DU2XXR » Tue May 26, 2020 1:32 pm

Hi everyone. I'd like to ask the community's permission here, although I have done the deed already as proof-of-concept.

I have linked the openGD77 TalkGroup 98977 to Echolink node N2RAC-L.

I thought this might be useful to those of us who would like to do some audio tests but only have one radio to do so. It's also an opportunity for those who do not have DMR radios yet to connect to our DMR talkgroup.

This is done via MMDVM_Bridge, Analog_Bridge, DVSwitch and md380-emulator. Echolink done through Asterisk.

Sounds like a good idea.

Now all we need is more activity on the Talkgroup.

The only person I've spoken to so far is Roger.

It's always good to have options.

Speaking of options, I have also established a YSF reflector which is bridged to TalkGroup 98977.

Reflector # 72170 or OPENGD77
Server 128.199.76.58:42000
If you are using a hotspot, do an update to reflect the latest DMR masters and YSF reflectors.

I think I've only ever spoken to around 10 stations on the OpenGD77.

I think the number of people listening on it is so low that the changes to 2 people being on it at the same time are very low.

Maybe not a lot know about the TG. It's easy enough to key into openGD77 using the # key or save it into TG lists, so I'm hoping we get more activity!
