USB connected FT2D Node Station. The FT2D Node Station connects directly to the PC and internet, and commu- nicates with WIRES-X Nodes and Rooms. The FT2D Node Station relays the local C4FM stations and signals to the internet and transmits the internet Node and Room signals to the local stations. This mode allows the flexibility to operate the Portable Digital Node directly with a single USB connected FT2D transceiver, or to access WIRES-X Nodes and Rooms from one or several local C4FM transceivers. - Page 5 C4FM and Analog signals to the internet and transmits the internet Node and Room signals to the local stations.
