Setting up DVSwitch on Android

You must be either a “Supporting Member” or “Lifetime Member” to have Radio over IP (RoIP) access to the repeater system.

PLEASE NOTE: Your username and password information will be emailed to you in a separate email. Setup and activation of IAX remote access is not automated, so please be patient as it may take a few days to get you setup on the server.
