Fri 06/06/25 : More Allstar Changes

I decided, after using the current setup for 24 hours, that I'd prefer the main VHF gateway to also have the Echolink connectivity, and it was tedious to try and make all connections to external nodes via the “hub” as this required first enabling Command Mode on the hub (*4481481) and then setting up the connection. It's easier to control everything from the node I actually have direct control over via DTMF. As long as everything is connected together it all still works.

The DMR bridge is now just that, a DMR bridge and not a central hub.

The 3rd node, initially set up as the Echolink node, is now spare, and is now a “Test Node” on which I can play.

The bubble chart is now:

with the VHF Radio Gateway at the centre and the DMR Bridge and Test nodes connected to it.
