For English-speaking hams — the linked and bridged systems, not the whole network.
What this is. A hand-sorted FreeSTAR talkgroup list built on one rule: every entry here is a linked or bridged system. Each one is reachable from more than one network or more than one mode — which is why they carry the traffic. Most talkgroup lists hand you the entire network directory and leave you to work out which handful matter. This is that sorting already done.
How to use it. Think of it as a starting point, not the finish line. Browse the list below, then load the ones you want into your radio or hotspot — a downloadable version you can import is ready right below, so there’s no need to type them in by hand. Because these systems are bridged, you may well find yourself talking to someone whose radio is running a different mode entirely. That’s the point of them.
A ready-to-import Talk Group contact list for AnyTone DMR radios, generated straight from this curated FreeSTAR list — correct column format, with names fit to AnyTone’s 16-character limit.

About FreeSTAR. FreeSTAR’s guiding idea is freedom to connect — linking modes and networks rather than walling them off. Its talkgroups show up in this cross-reference precisely because of that policy. For more background, see FreeSTAR — Freedom to Connect.
Where this list comes from. Every entry is drawn from the N6JET Linked & Bridged Talkgroup / Reflector Cross-Reference, which tracks what each of these systems is called on DMR, YSF/XLX, WIRES-X, NXDN, P25 and M17. If a system appears here, it has an identity on at least one other network or mode.
