Two Ways onto XLX181

• Bridged talkgroup: key up a TGIF or AMCOMM talkgroup that is permanently bridged to an XLX181 module. Easiest option.
• Direct to XLX181: point your hotspot at the XLX_181 master and pick a module by private call. Works for every module, including A and E.

All channels on this page use Color Code 1 and Timeslot 2.
