 With a passive connection to a server, users on a connected node can dynamically connect, using a stream of DTMF tones, to another node or nodes equally passively connected, on a system of Talk Groups, that each node can monitor within their configuration. With a passive connection to a server, users on a connected node can dynamically connect, using a stream of DTMF tones, to another node or nodes equally passively connected, on a system of Talk Groups, that each node can monitor within their configuration.
  
-The current UK reflector [[https://portal.svxlink.uk:8443]] together link with its partner hub [[https://Yorkshire.svxlink.network]] is effectively a super repeater, linking nodes and repeaters across the world, with local talkgroups and several distant fixed talkgroups formed of Allstar Links, such as Ham Radio 2.0 (YouTube channel), The US EastCoast Reflector, and more locally the North West Allstar Group, and naturally the OARC group. Here the OARC talkgroup links to the OARC Allstar Nodes which in turn cross-modes to the DMR talkgroup 2348479. So every user of that talk group is emerging into the svxlink network. It then remains for each Sysop to manage his available talkgroup list, to permit talkgroup 47920 (OARC) to broadcast on his/her repeater.+The current UK reflector [[https://uk.wide.yorkshire.network]] together link with its partner hub [[https://Yorkshire.svxlink.network]] is effectively a super repeater, linking nodes and repeaters across the world, with local talkgroups and several distant fixed talkgroups formed of Allstar Links, such as Ham Radio 2.0 (YouTube channel), The US EastCoast Reflector, and more locally the North West Allstar Group, and naturally the OARC group.

 The current system provides that in a passive state, a node has talkgroup 0 or ‘off’ selected. By calling by DTMF 91235#, on a node… 91 meaning ‘standby, a talk group follows’ 235 ‘ talk group’s # ‘activate’, the node makes the reflector server open a dynamic path to all nodes that have 235 in their monitoring list. Thus a user can now be heard on all nodes that have 235 included.  The current system provides that in a passive state, a node has talkgroup 0 or ‘off’ selected.

 Because there are so many different systems, it is not possible to provide a “one size-fits all Operating Systems” image, that is capable of being updated, so some technical knowledge is required.  Because there are so many different systems, it is not possible to provide a “one size-fits all Operating Systems” image, that is capable of being updated, so some technical knowledge is required.

 The current version of the SVXLink package is Version 25.5.17 and is available as I suggested above as an image. If you do find a dpkg on the current version of Bookworm, it is an old version 19 and has several features absent, such as the gpiod functionality, and full connection to the svxreflector. The current version of the SVXLink package is Version 25.5.17 and is available as I suggested above as an image.

-(Other versions of SVXLink have existed including one from the OpenRepeaterProject in the US, but again this version is also out of date at Version 17, although that group is working on the next version.)+(Other versions of SVXLink have existed including one from the OpenRepeaterProject in the US, but again this version is also out of date at Version 17, although that group is working on the next version.) For the USA go to [[https://north.america.svxlink.net/downloads]] for an image specific to this reflector.
  
-I mentioned in the chat that the OARC Radio channel is now available on the svxlink reflector. As a reminder the SVXLink system is FM, but relies on the OARC Digital ASL Reflector to connect. Tests have proved that this has been highly successful method of interfacing..+I mentioned in the chat that the OARC Radio channel is now available on the svxlink reflector.
