Connecting to a Faraway Station Using WIRES-X

Finding a local node

To communicate on the FTM-400DR/DE using WIRES-X, a WIRES-X node station (local
node) must be established within radio contact range of the transceiver.
WIRES-X nodes are stations users voluntarily register with Yaesu. Their information such
as location and operation styles are listed on the Yaesu website:
https://www.yaesu.com/jp/en/wires-x/index.php
First use this list to search for a nearby local node and nodes on the Internet used by
people you want to communicate with, and write down the node names and frequencies.
Since the connection procedure differs between digital stations and analog stations,
confirm whether the node is an analog station or a digital station.
• When the local node is a digital station
Connect from your device in digital mode.
(Nodes on the Internet can connect to both digital and analog stations.)
• When the local node in an analog station
Connect from your device in analog mode.
(Nodes on the Internet can connect to both analog and digital stations.)
