MultiMode hub

RFU MultiMode hub

One hub across DMR, FM, XLX, FreeSTAR Everywhere, Discord voice, and Zello — use whatever gear you already own.

Pick a network below, connect in, and you’ll land in the same RFU room. DMR talkgroup and AllStar node numbers stay the same; the XLX reflector is XLX448. On FreeSTAR Everywhere, dial extension 8021.
