The GB7YO (234176) repeater is primarily configured to operate on the SystemX network, providing seamless connectivity and advanced network features. Additionally, it supports Phoenix network talkgroups, which can be accessed using the prefix “8”, and BrandMeister talkgroups, available with the prefix “2”.
Talkgroup Structure:
- SystemX/Freestar (Primary Network): Uses standard talkgroup numbers.
- Brandmeister (Secondary Network): Uses the prefix “2”, padded to 7 characters.
- Phoenix (Secondary Network): Uses the prefix “8”, padded to 7 characters.
Example Talkgroups with Prefixes and Padding:
| Talkgroup (Primary – SystemX/Freestar) | Brandmeister (Prefixed & Padded) | Phoenix (Prefixed & Padded) |
|---|---|---|
| 91 (Worldwide) | 2000091 | 8000091 |
| 235 (UK Call) | 2000235 | 8000235 |
| 842 (East Anglia Link) | N/A | 8000842 |
| 2359 (Southern Fusion) | N/A | 8023590 |
| 23526 (Freestar UK) | 2023526 | 8023526 |
| 234176 (GB7YO local chat) | 2234176 | 8234176 |
This system ensures clear separation between networks, consistent formatting, and compatibility with systems requiring fixed-length talkgroup IDs while maintaining ease of identification for users. It does not pass through traffic between two networks because the repeater does not have bridging capabilities.
Make sure your codeplug has the talkgroups setup as above so you can access various networks.
