Hi Ryan, If the python script can read the device and you have installed the AMBEserver -- apply the instructions at https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum

Hi Andy, Make sure your ThumbDV is at COM3 (I am assuming that from the 3 you typed in), you can do this by observing Device Manager while plugging and unplugging. Then try COM3 as the input rather th

George, This is probably a problem with WinDV, which is supported by DUTCH*Star -- NW Digital Radio manufactures the hardware, but software support comes from the authors. You can pull down ThumbTest.

The PiDV and ThumbDV are serial devices for encoding and decoding audio to and from AMBE. They do not connect to a radio or provide modulation or demodulation. The UDRC can provide the modem to talk t

You can get there, but it is kind of ugly at this point UDRC <--> dstarrepeater <--> ircddbgateway <--> DummyRepeater <--> AMBEserver (with PiDV or ThumbDV) Audio goes in and out of DummyRepeater.

Yes the PiDV is a serial device at 230400 -- though with the ThumbDV sale right now, it might be the better buy? I'll leave to others, their experience with GNUradio on Pi 3, but I believe that it wor

A D-STAR repeater keeps everything in the digital realm. Audio is neither encoded or decoded in the repeater. No AMBE device is needed the UDRC provides the modem and control via the dstarrepeater pro

Hi Rob, The PiDV and ThumbDV are AMBE encoder/decoder devices and don't have anything to do with RF directly. You can get on the D-STAR network with them using software on your computer and connecting

Do you have a PiDV (plugs onto a Raspberry Pi Header) or ThumbDV (DV3000 could be either)? https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum#Managing-the-AMBEserver Note it looks like

What is the command you are using to start the AMBEserver? Are you using a PiDV or ThumbDV? https://nw-digital-radio.groups.io/g/ambe/wiki/AMBEserver-Addendum

Close -- AMBEserver talks to DummyRepeater (or Buster, ...) and DummyRepeater is what talks to ircddbgateway. So the DummyRepeater will select the "DV3000 Network" and the IP/Port of the Raspberry Pi

No -- The AMBEserver talks to DummyRepeater (nothing directly to do with ircDDBGateway). DummyRepeater talks to ircDDBGateway. AMBEserver <=== Network AMBE/Voice over UDP ====> DummyRepeater <===== IP

These are two separate issues. If you are not using bluetooth, uninstall/purge those two packages. It appears that the daemon is not getting a response to a reset command on the ThumbDV. Make sure you

Your ircddbgateway needs HB listening on 0.0.0.0 and make sure your repeater 2 (DummyRepeater) on ircddbgateway has the laptop's IP address.

AMBEserver is using the newer AMBE3000 chip from DVSI. When Scott wrote his code the predominant AMBE solutions used older chips (usually USB attached) with a different setup and byte flow to process

The AMBE 3000 chip will process D-STAR AMBE just fine, the protocol for talking to the chip is different.

Jean Marc -- why not just create an ambeserver and access it over the UDP/IP network? The schematic is here http://nwdigitalradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DV3000DS.pdf The required pins are in t
