Hello,

If you are a DStar user and have access to reflectors via a hotspot or other means, I could use some help testing out a new capability.? I recently added a transcoding server to XLX927.? DMR <--> Fusion had been working natively in XLX, but the addition of the transcoding server should provide DStar <—> Fusion and DMR real-time transcoding.? I don't have a DStar radio, but some initial testing with Steve KA1CNF seemed to be successful.? But some real experience with DStar users, and either Fusion or DMR users on the other side of the conversation would help flesh out any issues.

Since I am not well versed in connecting DStar to XLX, or anything else for that matter, I will not be too specific, XLX is supposed to handle DPlus, DExtra, and DCS protocols.? The reflector ID is XLX927, and we want to connect to Module B.? Maybe XLX927BL?? If you need URCALL or DTMF codes, they can be found here:

From there you can check the Repeaters/Nodes button to see your connection, or the User/Modules button to see recent activity.

You may want to just see if you can connect to XLX927 first.? Assuming that works, I can be available to test with either Fusion or DMR on my end.? Contact me at the email address below to setup a test QSO.? Or if you have a buddy willing to connect with DMR or Fusion, feel free to try it out.? You can connect to XLX927 on DMR using WPSD (and I assume Pi-Star), or using YSF00927 or XLX927 using Fusion with a hotspot.? At the moment, DMR access via one of the DMR networks is not enabled.??

Let me know if any questions, and also of any successes or problems encountered.

Tnx
