  • 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.

  • Page 4: Terminology

    What is WIRES-X? 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/...
  • Page 5 If you know the ID of the node you want to connect with, you can transmit the DTMF code from the FT1XDR/XDE/DR/DE, and directly specify the node to connect to by searching by characters (only for digital nodes).
  • Page 6 • By presetting to a shared channel frequency with your friends nodes, you can quickly connect the FT1XDR/XDE/DR/DE to a local node even while you are traveling in other areas You can use 2 transceivers as nodes, one for the preset search channel (receive only...

  • Page 7: Connecting To A Faraway Station Using Wires-X

    To communicate using WIRES-X, a WIRES-X node station (local node) must be established within radio contact range of the user transceiver. WIRES-X nodes are stations users voluntarily registered with Yaesu. Their information such as locations and operation styles are listed on our website: https://www.yaesu.com/jp/en/wires-x/index.php...
