asl3-chan-svx — prebuilt packages

Prebuilt .deb packages for chan_svx, an Asterisk channel driver for AllStarLink 3 (app_rpt) that speaks the SvxLink SVXReflector protocol directly — no USRP hop, single Opus transcode.

Source code: private. Bug reports: bjorne@sa7aux.se.

Which package?

Pick by your OS (Debian codename) and CPU architecture. Check with . /etc/os-release; echo $VERSION_CODENAME and dpkg --print-architecture.

Platform	Package
Debian 13 trixie, x86-64	debs/asl3-chan-svx_0.2.4~trixie_amd64.deb
Debian 13 trixie, arm64 (Raspberry Pi OS trixie, Pi 3/4/5)	debs/asl3-chan-svx_0.2.4~trixie_arm64.deb
Debian 12 bookworm, x86-64	debs/asl3-chan-svx_0.2.4~bookworm_amd64.deb
Debian 12 bookworm, arm64 (Raspberry Pi OS bookworm)	debs/asl3-chan-svx_0.2.4~bookworm_arm64.deb

64-bit only. Requires AllStarLink 3 (asl3-asterisk) already installed — the package must match that exact release, so use the deb for your OS.

Install

sudo apt install ./debs/asl3-chan-svx_0.2.4~<os>_<arch>.deb

Dependencies (asl3-asterisk, libopus0, libssl3) resolve automatically.

Then, to enable it:

1. Create /etc/asterisk/svx.conf (host, port, login, password, callsign, tg — plus optional tx_hold, jitter, rx_gain/tx_gain, rx_agc/tx_agc).
2. Uncomment load = chan_svx.so in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf.
3. Set rxchannel = SVX/<section> on your node in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf.
4. sudo asterisk -rx "core restart now" then sudo asterisk -rx "svx show".

postinst prints these steps, and a full walkthrough ships in /usr/share/doc/asl3-chan-svx/INSTALL.md.

Notes

• Reflector logins are used upper-case (SvxReflector validates the callsign).
• Speaks SVXReflector v2 (HMAC-SHA1). Reflectors that also offer v2 work even if their nodes normally use v3/TLS.
