**DMRlink is OpenSource, but IPSC is proprietary, will I get in trouble for using it?** DMRlink is an original interpretation of the IPSC protocol. It's probably not quite 100% correct, and it certainly doesn't implement every last feature in IPSC. It is not being sold, and it is not presented as a replacement for exising commercial software. We have received no complaints from Motorola regarding this project. We do not believe using it will be a problem -- if there's a problem, it will be with those of us who wrote it, and to date, we have recieved no complaints.
**Was DMRlink created by hacking the c-Bridge and/or SmartPTT?** Absolutely not! DMRlink was created using wireshark to capture packets between IPSC speaking endpoint on an IPSC network and pattern-matching. For example, when we know the transmisison was from radio ID 12345, we assume that when we find 12345 in the data stream, that's the source radio ID... we then further match patterns to validate what we find. This is why DMRlink will likely never include all features in IPSC, like XNL/XCMP for example, which uses encryption that makes pattern matching virutally impossible.

**Will you help me get it working?** DMRlink is not commercial software, and nobody is getting paid to write it. The work here represnets HUNDREDS of hours of volunteer effort. We will help as we can, but you must be familiar with IP data networking, very basic programming (preferably python) and IPSC or you will likely have a very hard time getting it to work to your satisfaction.
