Building a Cross-Linked Communication Bridge with AllStarLink 3

Building a Cross-Linked Communication Bridge with AllStarLink 3

Roger M. Nabinger

Note: Detailed instructions and additional information can be found at the official AllStarLink documentation site.

In this post, I’ll walk you through my process of setting up AllStarLink on Debian 12, creating a private node, integrating DVSwitch, and establishing a bridge to my YSF Reflector. This setup allows seamless communication between my AllStarLink nodes and YSF-compatible devices, like my Yaesu FTM-200.

Step 1: Initial Server Setup on Debian 12

  1. Update Debian Packages: Start by ensuring that your system is up-to-date.

YSF Reflector in Golang

Roger M. Nabinger

Project Overview

This project aims to develop a YSF Reflector using the Go programming language (Golang). YSF Reflectors are critical components in digital voice communication, especially in the Yaesu System Fusion (YSF) network, where they enable linking and routing between various nodes and repeaters.

My goal is to leverage the performance and concurrency capabilities of Go to build a fast, reliable, and easy-to-deploy YSF Reflector that improves upon existing solutions in terms of speed, maintainability, and extensibility.
