SVXLink / SvxReflector — N6JET

What is SVXLink?

SVXLink is an open-source, primarily analog voice-over-IP system for amateur radio. The SvxReflector network connects SVXLink nodes together using numbered talkgroups — similar to conference rooms. The system supports bridging to digital voice networks while maintaining multi-talkgroup analog access.

The North America SvxReflector is linked as a family to the UK Wide and Australia reflectors, forming a worldwide analog voice network.

What N6JET is Building

N6JET is establishing two identities on the North America SvxReflector:

IdentityPurpose
N6JETMain SVXLink node — multi-talkgroup analog access to the NA reflector
N6JET-BRIDGEDedicated bridge connecting the SvxReflector to M17-JET Module S

The bridge will use SvxLink-USRP and USRP2M17 to carry audio between the SvxReflector and M17-JET. M17 uses the open-source Codec2 vocoder, so no proprietary hardware or licensing is required for the bridge.

Signal Path

SVXLink NA Reflector ↔ N6JET-BRIDGE ↔ SvxLink-USRP ↔ USRP2M17 ↔ M17-JET Module S

Setup Phases

  1. Registration — Register N6JET on the North America SvxReflector
  2. SVXLink Node — Build and configure the main SVXLink node
  3. Dashboard — Deploy the SVXLink dashboard
  4. SvxLink-USRP Bridge — Build the dedicated bridge instance (N6JET-BRIDGE)
  5. USRP2M17 — Connect the bridge to M17-JET Module S
  6. Review & Go Live — End-to-end testing and activation

Project Status

Under development. Setup is being coordinated with Chris G4NAB, who manages the North America SvxReflector.
