Wellcome!
P25Link is an amateur radio project originally created to let you connect Quantar repeaters Astro TAC comparators and/or DIU 3000s to multiple amateur radio networks such as P25Link, P25NX, P25-MMDVM. It use the v.24 port on Quantar/ASTAC/DIU 3000, a Raspberry Pi and a DVM-V24 USB Converter or a Cisco router as used for the old P25NX.

The main goals is to allow P25 amateur radio users to be able to connect to existing networks.
