Cross-mode roundtables
On the modules that have transcoding (currently B and C) A D-Star user can talk to DMR and YSF user and vise versa, the reflector does the transcoding via an Ambed Server
One reflector. Six digital modes. Zero hassle.
XLX159 bridges D-Star, DMR, YSF, P25, NXDN, and M17 in a single place. Pick a module, point your hotspot, and start talking. No code, no accounts, no per-mode configuration to memorize.
Always-on infrastructure
The D-Star gateway and AllStar node that keep XLX159 reachable around the clock. Polled live; if a card turns red, the upstream link is down. Connection guide for the network details.
Active right now
Stations heard on XLX159 in the last few minutes. The list is pulled live from the reflector every 30 seconds; the active row glows green while the station is transmitting. Pick a module for per-mode configuration.

What you can do on XLX159
Specific things, not generic claims. The four use cases that drive most traffic on the reflector.
Bridge to DCS, BM, and FCS
Reach any D-Star reflector via DCS, any DMR talkgroup via Brandmeister, and any YSF room via FCS through the appropriate module. No second connection, no extra hotspot config.
Need a Module?
If you have a ham club or group that would like their own module, use the Contact form top right and we will reach out and assign one
