BlueDV for Linux ( EXPERIMENTAL )

BlueDV for Linux is running on all Linux versions that can run MONO 4. ( also raspberry pi 3 )
If BlueDV crashes when you go to setup, you are running an old version of MONO!! Please check with the following command your mono version.
mono –version

It is getting more and more difficult to keep BlueDV working on Linux! After every mono update, the software sometimes does not work.

Supported Protocols

DSTAR ( DEXTRA, DPLUS, DCS )
FUSION ( YSF, FCS )
DMR ( Brandmeister, DMR+ )

Supported Hardware

DVMEGA with BlueStack ( BlueStack with DVMEGA )

Limitations.

There are issues known with DVMEGA direct connected to the Raspberry PI. Please use a BlueStack.
/dev/ttyUSB0 is hard to find! Make sure you selected the lowest in the list!
I can not give support on this version.
Does not run with AMBE3000.
