HUBNet

Founded in May 2016 by Steve M0HOY with the mandate of increasing radio activity through coordinating the linking of Repeaters and Simplex Gateways across the UK that in recent years had fallen into disuse.

Heading into its 10th year, HUBNet has pushed the boundaries of multimode Amateur Radio communications. With a great deal of work by Peter G7RPG and the support of many others, HUBNet has rapidly become the largest multimode AllStar communications platform based in the UK.

AllStar

(Jim Dixon WB6NIL) is a powerful yet easily configurable open source PBX Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system that enables radio transceivers to connect with each other via the internet.

Multimode Access

AllStar along with HBLink, XLX and DVSwitch has enabled us to transcode from analogue FM, and multiple digital modes including, DMR, Digital WiresX and D-Star.

HUBNet is open to licensed amateur radio operators worldwide. You can connect using several modes:
  • RF – Use any othe the linked repeaters and gateways across the UK
  • AllStar – Node numbers 41223, 41288, 51288, 41522 (or 43845 for mobile data)
  • EchoLink – Primary node 973498 (M0HOY-L)
  • DMR – BrandMeister talkgroup 23526
  • D-Star – DCS477B / XLX477B
  • Yaesu System Fusion (Wires-X) – Room 41461 and YSF reflector
Please check your audio levels before connecting. Use the HUBNet AllStar Audio Test Server (node 40894) or EchoLink ECHOTEST (9999).

This is a global network – your transmissions will be heard on RF around the world. Always identify correctly and follow good amateur practice.

HUB Monitor (Offline)

Live status of nodes connected to HUBNet (AllMon style dashboard).

This panel will embed the live HUB monitor dashboard showing connected nodes, key-ups and network status.

Typical information shown:

  • Currently connected AllStar nodes
  • Active key-ups and callsigns
  • Link status across multimode bridges
  • System uptime and health

You can also open the full monitor in a new window if preferred.

Listen live to HUBNet with fft audio spectrum and level meter.

Node Map

Map of RF nodes, gateways and repeaters currently linked to HUBNet across the UK and beyond.

A Google Map or OpenStreetMap embed showing connected private and public nodes would go here.

Many UK repeaters and simplex gateways are permanently or regularly linked, giving wide coverage on analogue FM as well as digital modes.
