Network & Nodes
Linked analog and digital coverage for Rhode Island and beyond, centered on AllStar 45595 and the XLX DCS059A multi-mode core.
Network Overview
RI DIGITAL LINK and the Quahog Repeater Network form a linked analog and digital system centered around AllStar node 45595 and the XLX DCS059A multi-mode reflector. This section summarizes the key on-ramps so you can get connected from almost any radio.
Analog Side – How the Network Flows
Curious how a handheld on a local analog machine ends up talking to DMR, Fusion, P25, NXDN, D-STAR, and VoIP users? This diagram walks through the analog side step-by-step, from the RF-linked Quahog repeaters into the AllStar hub and on to the bridge server.
Dashboards
Use the dashboards below to view live activity and status for each part of the system.
AllStar & Analog
AllStar provides the core linking fabric between Quahog repeaters, stand-alone nodes, and cross-mode bridges.
- Primary AllStar Hub: Node 45595 – main R.I.DIGITAL LINK hub.
- Local analog / repeater entries: See Quahog Repeater Network documentation for frequencies and PL/DCS details.
XLX Reflector: DCS059A
The XLX reflector at DCS059A is the main multi-mode digital core. From here, multiple modes and networks converge on the same user community.
- XLX / DCS: DCS059, Module A (DCS059A).
- Peanut: XLX059A.
- IRLP: Reflector 9871.
DMR, YSF, P25, NXDN, HOIP, NEXTET, TGIF
These talkgroups and rooms are tied into the RIDIGITALLINK / Quahog environment through the XLX core and associated bridges.
- DMR TG 31444 – Primary DMR talkgroup.
- DMR / YSF / P25 / NXDN TG 31444 – Shared talkgroup on supported networks.
- YSF: Reflector 31444.
- P25: TG 31444.
- NXDN: TG 31444.
- HOIP: 100041.
- NEXTET: 4012.
- TGIF: TG 31444.
Connection Examples
A few typical ways operators reach the system:
- Analog FM into a Quahog repeater linked to AllStar node 45595.
- AllStar node directly linked to 45595 as a remote user or repeater.
- DMR radio into Brandmeister OR TGIF Network TG# 31444 on a supported network, linked to DCS059A.
- YSF hotspot into YSF 31444, bridged into the XLX/DCS059 core.
- Peanut client to XLX059A, or IRLP node 9571, joining the same user community.
For current linking status, any temporary changes, or experimental bridges that may come and go, listen on the air and check dashboards as they become available.
