Connecting to a Faraway Station Using WIRES-X

Finding a local node

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
First use this list to search for a nearby local node, and nodes on the Internet used by
people you want to communicate with; 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 transceiver 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 transceiver in analog mode.
(Nodes on the Internet can connect to both analog and digital stations.)

Connecting in digital mode

Caution
Before using WIRES-X, touch [MODE] to set the communication mode of the band-A (shown
on the top part of the screen) to any mode other than [FM]. For details, refer to "Selecting the
Communication Mode" in the basic operating manual.
