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.

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 to HUBNet live without transmitting.

Low latency 8KHz PCM Stream Please, no distortion. Keep your audio in the mid amber range (NOT hitting the red)

Useful for checking activity or for operators who want to monitor their audio.

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.
