XLXLEF digital gateway

XLXLEF - LEFARS digital gateway overview

LEFARS members with DMR radios can communicate with other members using the Brandmeister talkgroup 23511 at any time. A personal hotspot is required or via a repeater like GB7HH.There is a weekly DMR net every Wednesday at 20:00 (local) .

D-Star and Yaesu C4FM users can now use a digital gateway that also connects to Brandmeister talkgroup 23511. The XLXLEF server is hosted in a London datacentre by Dave M0UPM primarily for members of Loughton & Epping Forest Amateur Radio Society.

XLXLEF peers with DMR Brandmeister (BM) Talk Group 23511 / LEFARS and allows multiple connections with several types of digital radio from your hotspot. Transcoding (six channels with two AMBE-3003 Vocoder chips) supports the following modes and protocols for hotspot connections:

  D-Star XLXLEF B (DCS, DExtra, REF and XRF)

  Yaesu Fusion C4FM GB LEFARS (YSF23511).

  DMR XLXLEF B (DMRMmdvm)

  (Note that XLXLEF also accepts P25, M17 and NXDN connections.)
