We now have our own XReflector to help link up club member repeaters and DVAPs
For the uninitiated, XReflector is an open source (non-Icom) reflector system that uses a protocol called DExtra and it relies on the IRCDDB callsign routing system. If you are running your own repeater and have the IRCDDB Gateway running, simply add XRFWDX to your dextra_hosts.txt file with IP address 173.60.73.189. If you live in an area with a D-Star repeater that is already running IRCDDB Gateway, just ask the sysop to add the entry. Future updates to IRCDDBGateway software will include the reflector automatically.
If you live in an area with Icom D-Star repeaters that are not running IRCDDBGateway, have a conversation with your club/sysop and ask them to add it. It opens up a whole world of open D-Star systems that you don't otherwise have access to.
BTW, our XRFWDX XReflector is running on a Raspberry Pi.
