[arm-allstar] has anybody bridged dstar to allstar and how?

[Doug Crompton]

Neil, just my opinion. I didn't mean to offend anyone. It is certainly alright to ask. I was just pointing out that the current VHF/UHF digital modes IMHO stink and hams are being sold a bill of goods by the retailers. On the other hand it is always good to know the technical side so I will sit back and listen.
As for Allstar there are a couple of key things on audio quality. One is the fact that usbradio can and often does have serious problems with distorted audio. As long as you are using simpleusb which most if not all BBB and RPi2 user are the considerations are levels and equalization (needing pre/deemphasis). Often a new user needs help with this and we need to offer that. You can get good clean Allstar audio but there is nothing you can do with poor digital audio.

Sorry Doug. I thought I was asking a technical question not a political 
question. I have heard dstar repeaters with good and bad audio as well. the 
allstar codec seems to be one of the best however there are some nodes with 
there levels way off and sound awful. anyway I was asking from a tech side not a 
political side. I did not realize this was a sensitive topic

Anything can be bridged 
to anything else in numerous ways but I was wondering why you would want to mess 
up our wonderful Allstar audio with crappy Dstar audio? Personally I don't want 
to hear any of the current amateur digital audio on Allstar. A circuit is only 
as good as its worst audio! That being said you can do anything you want but if 
I hear that kind of audio on any circuit I maintain I would disconnect it unless 
it is an emergency.

I have a beagle bone black, uri running asterisk 
v1.2.1
 
what is the easiest way to bridge to dstar? we do not 
have any local dstar repeaters so I am thinking about a dstar dongle or modem 
but how to interface it to asterisk v1.2.1?
 
thanks  73  neil  k8it
