  • Page 3: What Is Wires-X

    What is WIRES-X? WIRES (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) is an Internet communication system which expands the range of amateur radio communication. By relaying radio signals via the Internet, stations can be connected where radio waves cannot reach each other. WIRES uses local nodes (stations connected to the Internet via PCs) as access points which repeat communications of conventional amateur radio stations.

    Terminology ■ Node Radio repeater connected to the Internet via a PC, which repeats communications of conventional amateur radio stations as an access point z Local node Node within the radio communication range of a conventional amateur radio station z Analog node Node which is a transceiver or repeater using the conventional FM format and can only repeat DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequencies) codes and analog audio transmissions/ receptions...
  • Page 5 ■ WIRES-X user ID YAESU provides identification names with the WIRES-X nodes. For each node, a DTMF ID (5-digit number) and user ID (alphanumeric characters consisting of up to 10 digits) are provided. If you know the ID of the node you want to connect with, you can transmit the DTMF code from the transceiver, and directly specify the node to connect to by searching by characters (only for digital nodes).
  • Page 6 The owners of a node or room can import/export data from/to their own station via a PC. The owner can also delete data and change information such as its name and attribution. The WIRES-X server also has its own news station (INT NEWS) where you can read information and data supplied by YAESU. Internet connection JF7XXX...
