Important Room Operating Considerations; Convenient Functions - Yaesu WIRES-X HRI-200 Instruction Manual

Important Room Operating Considerations

• Inform node station users who connect to your node, to limit their QSO individual transmissions to less than three minutes in
duration. There is a 3-minute timer on the HRI-200 that will interrupt a continuous transmission of a node that exceeds this time
duration. Even during the transmission, the timer will forcibly cut off the node transmission causing the voice communication to be
interrupted.
• Inform station users who connect to your node, that a longer-than-usual-time duration is required to exchange QSO contact
direction. Since the voice is repeated via an Internet connection, time lag will inevitably occur. If you transmit a response too
quickly after another node finished transmitting a message, your node may remain in the transmission status.
• When open squelch of the connected node station occurs, or a signal from an unknown local station is present while WIRES-X is
operating, all of the nodes connected to the room will remain in transmission status; this can be a nuisance to the users. Should
this happen, the node owner can temporarily disable the connection of the node station repeating the signal that is causing trouble
(See page 41).
• When operating a room, the owner should monitor the situation as necessary to stop any nodes causing trouble.
• The quality of the Internet connection, the number of connected nodes, and strain on the computer may cause the audio quality to
degrade and the WIRES-X software to be unstable.
• Please understand that YAESU assumes no responsibility for any interference experienced between users.
