Re: Linking to XLX reflectors

There’s been an issue w/ use the XRF protocol w/ XLX reflectors known for a while.  That’s why we recommend people use the DPLUS or DCS protocol on our XLX reflectors.  I know for some, that can be an issue,  but it solved all the problems we had w/ our users.  73 de K4SQI!

I suspect it’s an interim solution.  Friends using Windows machines can access 2-way audio by calling up the XLX reflectors. What you have here is a work-around which is fine.  However, I would not have known the association between the DCS and XLX nomenclature.  How did you figure that one out?

 

I was able to open the plist data in 1.2.3 to compare the “strings” in XLX and DCS plists.  Sure enough they point to the same … what appears to be … numeric DNS locations.  For your DCS600XLX600 example they both point to 13.16.14.204.  So is one a proxy for the other?

 

Thanks for writing back.

I have Buster 1.2.3 and I experienced the same one-way effect.  In my case the cure I found is to issue a connect, for example, to DCS600 A instead of XLX600 A.

A connection to XLX defaults to Dextra connection with one-way audio whereas a connect to DCS defaults to DCS and audio is heard in both directions.

Is this what you are looking for ?
