• Supports Icom stacks.
• Supports homebrew repeaters.
• Icom DD mode under Linux with Internet access.
• Callsign routing via ircDDB.
• D-Plus REF reflectors.
• DExtra XRF reflectors.
• DCS reflectors.
• XLX reflectors.
• CCS7 routing.
• D-RATS data transfers.
• Gateway DPRS data to APRS-IS.
• Full multi lingual text and voice announcements.
• DTMF or UR call control.
• Remote control interface.
• StarNet server.
• Ability to set policies for reflector usage.
• IPv6 support.

There are many external programs that allow for inserting voice or text messages, as well as remote control operation.

They all build on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux as well as on Windows using Visual Studio 2019 on x86 and x64.

Build and installing

Regular build

make
make -f MakefileGUI #only required if you want to build the GUI programs
sudo make install

Drop-in replacement for dl5di OpenDV packages

This will conpile the program to be used as a drop in replacement for the no longer maintained DL5DI OpenDV packages. Systemd files to run ircddbgatewayd as daemon will also be installed.

export TARGET=opendv
make
make -f MakefileGUI #only required if you want to build the GUI programs
sudo make install

Now you should edit the configuration in the file /etc/ircddbgateway to match your needs.

sudo systemctl enable ircddbgatewayd.service #enable service
sudo service ircddbgatewayd start
