With some delay due to unforeseen issues, finally release 0.2 of the #DMR tier III #trunking controller GUI is available now.

You can download a snapshot of this release at:
https://codeberg.org/qradiolink/dmrtc/releases/tag/0.2

The main feature this release adds is partial support for the Homebrew DMR Trunking Protocol, which is currently implemented only by the Brandmeister network.

More information is available in the documentation:

A preview of the upcoming changes in the #DMR Tier III #trunking controller for MMDVM repeaters ( https://github.com/qradiolink/dmrtc ):

* Call duration is now being recorded and displayed in the dashboard

* Maximum transmission BER info is now also available in the call stats and dashboard along with average BER

* Large SMS are now sent on the control channel with multipart UDT transfer messages

* Acknowledgements from radios are now handled better (in order)

Development of a homebrew #DMR #trunking protocol is proceeding as planned.

At this stage, you too can contribute or ask for features to be added. I'm especially interested in your feedback if you are a developer of conventional DMR reflector software, or if you are a sysop for an existing DMR network.

Switches are the smart, Layer 2 traffic cops of your LAN. VLANs enable me to carve up logical, isolated networks on one physical switch (HR, Engineering, Guests). 802.1Q trunking is the "tagged" highway that carries all this different VLAN traffic from switch to switch. It's network segmentation 101!
