XRF330 Reflector

The club also runs the XLX330 Multiprotocol Repeater for D-STAR and YSF. The reflector supports Modules A through Z.The reflector is available via DExtra as XRF330[A-Z] and DCS as DCS330[A-Z] (and XLX330[A-Z] for Pi-Star 4). The reflector is also available via DPLUS as REF330 for appropriately configured Icom gateways. Use of the DCS protocol is strongly recommended. Connections with YSF #83603 auto-join Module A.

XLX330 transcodes between D-STAR and YSF/C4FM on Module A.
