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 XLXLEF, 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.

Yaesu Fusion C4FM GB LEFARS (YSF23511).
