Cross-mode roundtables
A D-Star user on module A talks to a DMR user on module B and a YSF user on module C in the same conversation. No client-side bridging, no third-party app — the reflector does the audio mix.
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.
Module summary
One row per module. The same live data as the table above, condensed into a per-module view.
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.
Test commercial-surplus radios
Modules D and E (P25 and NXDN) exist mostly so hams with second-hand public-safety radios can test them on a real network. Public, free, no dispatch console required.
Open-source M17 testing
Module F is one of the first US bridges for M17, the open-source digital voice protocol. If you are building or testing M17 hardware, the rest of us are here.
