I use a Thumb DV with Blue DV on Win 10. I Haven't been able to change settings for months. Every time I try I get an "Unhandled Error" message. I've tried re-installing. No luck. Uninstalling does not remove all traces of the program. The new fresh install contains settings from the previous installation. Same with Win DV/ Dutch star program, it keeps old settings when re-installed & has become extremely slow to respond with it's gateway window. Anyone experience similar issues? Could there be conflicts between the two programs? Is there a method for doing an uninstall which completely removes every trace of the program? Thanks!

You might consider navigating to

c:\users\(you)\AppData\local\ and find BlueDV directory and erase it. 

There is another directory under documents named BlueDV.

And check the ProgramFile(x86) to make sure the BlueDV directory has been removed after you have used the program add/removal utility in windows 10.

I had the same issue with DutchStar a while back but I don't remember where any "hidden" files are for that program.

Rick,
There is a lot I don't know about how you want to interface the Draws board to your Analog repeater but most of what you want to do can be done with software from DVSwitch. Analog_Bridge and MMDVM_Bridge would both be required. Rather then bore people with the nuts and bolts, join us at <https://dvswitch.groups.io/g/main>

PS John, maybe you, Bryan, Mike and I can discuss Draws to Analog_Bridge at Dayton.

Dummy repeater (G4KLX) may be a good starting point.  I don't know of anything 'out of the box'.

You do have to use a computer running Windows to run the BlueDV program so far as I know.  I only found the Beta version that utilized the AMBE3000 USB dongle.  I used an old desktop with Win7 at the site, and it has continued to run reliably with BlueDV.  I do have a remote VNC program running also to get to the computer from anywhere on the Internet for control. 

You configure BlueDV exactly the same as if you were sitting in front of the computer running BlueDV except to utilize the RS-232 control signals for transmit and receive.  I think there are several how-to information sources for implementing the BlueDV program available on the Internet.  As stated in the write-up, the serial ports are different for the AMBE chip and the RS-232 control.

I used the BlueDVWindows program in a beta release for the AMBE3000.  I did not use the DRAWS system, but did build an interface to allow the RS-232 control lines to signal PTT and SQ to my analog side.  The program has provisions for setting up the RS-232 control signals. 

I do the exact thing you are wanting to do - during our weekly net we integrate the analog repeaters with D-Star through the BlueDV program.  I have a write-up on the Interface if you are interested.
