There are times when you can’t always have your HT and/or hotspot with you but you want to stay in contact with a certain talk group or club.
For Android users, it’s pretty easy to setup a hotspot in the cloud or a Rasperry Pi at home and use DVSwitch Mobile to access any of the digital modes. Note: I only set mine up for DMR.
Update 11/6/2020:
The DVSwitch group now has a image and install instructions:
All Modes (Raspberry Pi): InstallGuide
These are the manual instructions but you must follow them to the letter or you may not get audio in one or both directions:
DMR & YSF (cloud): Install Guide
While these instruction are for a Raspberry Pi the only modification I had to make for Ubuntu was change the lines that called for .armhf to .amd64. Also, be careful with copy and pasting from the PDF sometimes it adds a space in some links and they didn’t actually work so watch the screen after you do something. Give me a shout if you need help.
Hi Russell
This is Tony Nieto, EA4GVR.

First of all let me thank you for your info sharing especially regarding DVSWITCH. I really appreaciate it. I’ve just been reading about you on your blog and I must tell you we share a very similar profile and interests on new radio technologies. However I must learn more. I’m not really into linux, being a Win person myself and I need to ask you for assistance. Please could you recommend some textbooks, manuals, tutorials or anything you can think of for me to get a better understanding of linux, programming , how one can design an “image”, scripts, you know the “magic” I’m talking about… I’ve always been a good student and want to LEARN. As you see I’m not asking for help on “how to do this or that” I wanna improve my knowledge. Your help will be very much appreciated.
Please feel freee to contact me: 2144057g@gmail.com

Hi, Do you have a copy of the instruction manual that you used in the video? The one above, is missing a few steps. Thanks, Daniel ZL4DE
