The FT-2980R can be used to access a "node" (repeater or base station) which is tied

into the Yaesu WIRES™ (Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System)

network. Details may be found at the WiRES-II Web site: http://www.yaesu.com/jp/en/

wiresinfo-en/index.html. This feature may also be used to access other systems, as de-

scribed below.

the access number in the network). Now press the PTT

switch to exit from the selection mode.

3. With the Internet Connection feature activated (as in step 1 above), the FT-2980R

will generate a brief (0.1 second) DTMF tone according to your selection in step 2.

If other users report that you always have a DTMF "beep" at the beginning

You may access other Internet Link Systems (including WiRES™ in the "FRG" mode)

that use a DTMF string for access.

Programming the FRG code

Load the DTMF tones which you wish to use for Internet-link access into a Internet

code (the "#" key is denoted by the letter "F").

1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second,

then rotate the DIAL knob to select "25 INT.SET".

2. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to

select the Internet Memory register (F0 ~ F9) into which

you wish to store the access code.

3. Press the [ LOW ( A/N )] key momentarily. The first digit
