How to connect to XLX101
Everyone meets on module B. XLX101 is a multimode reflector: D-Star, DMR and
System Fusion (YSF) users on the same module all hear each other, with AMBE transcoding between
D-Star and DMR/YSF. DMR and YSF users land on module B by default.
| D-Star |
|---|
| Hotspot (Pi-Star etc.) | Link to DCS101 (or XRF101), module B |
| From the radio | UR call DCS101BL to link (or XRF101BL), then set UR back to CQCQCQ to talk |
| Unlink / status | UR call U to unlink, I for link info (7 spaces first) |
| DMR |
|---|
| Pi-Star with DMRGateway | DMR Configuration: XLX Master XLX101, startup module B, enabled.
Talk on TG 6, timeslot 2. Change module with a private call to 64001–64026 (64002 = B, 64005 = E) |
| Direct to the reflector | Use XLX101 as your DMR master (port 62030). Group call TG 4002 to link module B (4001–4026 = A–Z, 4000 unlinks), then talk on TG 9 |
| System Fusion (YSF / C4FM) |
|---|
| Hotspot or radio | Connect to GB-XLX101 (YSF ID 39444) – you are linked to module B automatically |
| Changing module | Use Wires-X to pick another module. To move to a different reflector, disconnect first |
| Modules |
|---|
| B – Regional | The main meeting point for all modes |
| A – Int., C – National | Separate rooms: only users on the same module hear each other |
| E – Echo test | Link to module E (D-Star DCS101EL, DMR private call 64005), talk for a few seconds, release – your audio is played back about 3 seconds later |

| Reflectors list | Every XLX reflector worldwide, whether it is up, and a link to its own dashboard |
| D-Star live | Live D-Star activity across the whole ircDDB network, not just this reflector |
| Users / Modules – the columns |
|---|
| # | Position in the list. A transmitting-radio icon at the top means that station is on air now (heard in the last minute) |
| Flag | Country, worked out from the callsign |
| Callsign | Click to look the operator up on QRZ.com |
| Suffix | Extra text sent with a D-Star call – usually the radio (e.g. ID51), or the network it came from |
| DPRS | Click the satellite to see the station’s position on aprs.fi (if they send it) |
| Via / Peer | The hotspot or repeater they came in through; “/ XLXnnn” means via another linked reflector |
| Last heard | When they last transmitted |
| Ear icon | The module they were heard on |
| Filters | Type a callsign (* works as a wildcard, e.g. G0*) or a module letter and press Apply; empty the box and Apply again to show everyone |
| Module cards | On the right: each module with everyone connected to it right now |
| Repeaters / Nodes – the columns |
|---|
| DV Station | The connected hotspot or repeater |
| Band | The D-Star module letter of that hotspot or repeater |
| Linked for | How long it has been connected |
| Protocol | How it connects: DCS, DExtra or DPlus (D-Star), DMRMmdvm (DMR), YSF (Fusion), IMRS (Yaesu repeaters), Terminal/AP (Icom) |
| Module | The reflector module it is linked to |
| IP | Partly hidden for privacy |
The Modules list shows the link commands for every module and mode.
