VEXJET is a multi-mode reflector running Vexillum, new reflector software by Steve Miller, KC1AWV. It is the fifth N6JET reflector, alongside XLXJET, URFJET, M17JET and C4FMJET. It runs on the same N6JET server as the others, on its own address: vex.n6jet.com.
Where the name comes from: a vexillum was the square flag carried by a Roman army unit, the banner its soldiers rallied around. The word is also the root of "vexillology", the study of flags. The software shortens it to VEX. Its author has not said why he chose the name, but a flag that brings people together suits a reflector well.
Vexillum itself is young. It was first released to the public in September 2026 and is still beta software. VEXJET is here to put it on the air, learn how it behaves in daily use, and share what works and what does not.
Reflector or server? Both words are used. VEXJET is a reflector: it passes your voice to everyone else on the same module, like XLX or URF. The server is the computer it runs on. DVRef lists it as a "VEX server", and each mode on it as an instance.
Six modes are running and have been tested from the internet:
| Mode | Address | Port | How to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMR | vex.n6jet.com | 62031 | Password passw0rd (with a zero). Talk on TG 7, timeslot 2. TG 64001 to 64026 picks module A to Z. TG 64026 is the echo test. TG 64000 unlinks. |
| M17 | vex.n6jet.com | 17002 | Add as a custom M17 host, then link to a module, A to Z. Module Z is the echo test. |
| YSF | vex.n6jet.com | 42000 | YSF 95114 US-VEXJET. Pick it from your hotspot YSF list once it appears there, or add it as a custom host. It is a single room, so no DG-ID is needed. |
| NXDN | vex.n6jet.com | 41400 | NXDN 9512. Pick it from your hotspot NXDN list once it appears there, or add it as a custom host. It is a single room. |
| P25 | 5.161.18.189 | 41100 | P25 9512. Pick it from your hotspot P25 list. It is a single room, joined to module A. |
| D-STAR | vex.n6jet.com | 30001 | DExtra only. Add it as a custom DExtra (XRF) host, then link to a module, A to Z. Modules A and B are joined to the other modes. Module Z is the echo test. |
Full hotspot settings, side by side with the other N6JET reflectors, are on How to Connect to N6JET Reflectors.
See who is on the air: VEXJET live activity on VexDV shows who is connected to VEXJET and who was heard last, on every mode, as it happens.
Modules are being named one at a time as each room is given a purpose.
| Module | DMR TG | M17 module | Room |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 64001 | A | Silicon Valley Multimode via VEX. Linked to TGIF talkgroup 95110, YSF 95114, NXDN 9512, P25 9512, M17 module A and D-STAR module A. |
| B | 64002 | B | General Use. An open room for any conversation. DMR, M17 and D-STAR module B are joined. |
| C to Y | 64003 to 64025 | C to Y | Open, not yet named. DMR, M17 and D-STAR all reach these rooms, but the modes are not joined |
| Z | 64026 | Z | Echo test. Talk, let go, and about a second later you hear yourself played back. Works on DMR, M17 and D-STAR, each played back to the same mode. Transmissions shorter than half a second are ignored, and up to 60 seconds is recorded. |
Module A is also the DMR default, so a DMR hotspot that connects to VEXJET lands on module A, Silicon Valley Multimode via VEX, until you pick another module.
D-STAR joined modules A and B on 5 November 2026, using two DVstick 30 hardware vocoders on the N6JET Beelink server. Vexillum can also run VAFM, its analog FM linking mode. It will be tested before it is announced. Nothing on that list is promised yet, and plans may change as Vexillum develops.
