Why the Murphy Radio Network?
We are a rapidly growing Amateur Radio network based in North Central Texas, dedicated to supporting both analog and digital modes. Our network is founded on three core principles: the freedom to use, experiment, and connect—always within the scope of FCC Part 97 regulations.
Whether you are beginning your first ham adventure or are a veteran of many clubs, you will find a supportive and enthusiastic community of operators eager to share their passion. We actively encourage technical experimentation and invite you to join our inclusive "sandbox" environment. Our mission is to be the most accessible and welcoming radio group you have ever met.
The nodes provide the easiest gateway into the MRN system. You can use your everyday FM analog radio to reach the repeaters. Behind the scenes your radio signal will be sent across the entire network and converted into digital formats (DMR, C4FM/YSF) instantly. When your transmission goes across the network, your audio will be heard on AllStar nodes, DMR talk-groups, YSF reflectors, simplex nodes(RF), YSF/C4FM repeaters(RF), EchoLink, XLX reflectors and WIRES-X. From a distance perspective, that could include locations anywhere in the world.
This is an example of the DVSwitch Dashboard. The DVSwitch server is running on Raspberry Pi 4s along with the MRN simplex repeaters. DVSwitch is a set of tools that provides bridging capabilities between analog and digital voice (DVR). In this image, you can see the active modes and networks within the server. You could describe it like a swiss-army-knife within digital voice and analog. DVSwitch serves as the link between digitial protocols and Allstar via USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral). USRP is a type of SDR (software defined radio).
