A pair of dongles can be used on the channel that needs the transcoding, so you need a pair for however many channels you have that do transcoding.
There are some cards out there (not sure about active production) that have 8 AMBE chips on them for example, so single USB will do 4 channels of transcoding. That is what I do on xLX004, we have about 6 channels, but only 2-3 active at
a time.

Subject: Re: [ambe] bringing some transcoding to my xlx reflector?
So the reflectors have a total of 25 modules. That means I’d need 52 of them? assuming each module a, b, c, is a channel?

You need 2 dongles per channel. Ambe software is in the xlx download.
Hi all,
I’m totally new with this, so I hope you will forgive my lack of knowledge, and/or what is needed with regards to my goals, and objectives in this post.
I’ve just recently setup an xlx reflector:
with the goal of bringing, d-star, DMR, and fusion to the local Texas Ih-35 system. Currently the Texas i35 system is on FCS, reflector 3, room 30, and I believe that it has a wires-x room 40096. I’ve gone ahead, and created an x-reflector
which is now showing up as reflector 94, and it’s ip address is:
As I understand things, I can't cross-mode out of the box with an xlx reflector, thus I need some kind of Ambe chip to do this? I currently use D-star, and I have a number of pi-star enabled hotspots, as well as an openspot 3. What kind
of transcoding will an xlx reflector do natively, and where to the Ambecoder chips come in to play? Also, I have the reflector sitting on a box at
linode.com in Dallas, is all of this still doable, even though the reflector is in a remote location? I know D-star, Dmr, and fusion, but I’ve not been familiar with how to bring everything together, and admittedly I’ having
to teach myself Linux. To setup the xlx reflector, I followed the tutorial at
Anything y’all can do to help I’d appreciate,
