Banging my head trying to get a WIRES-X PDN node to allow connections to C4FM rooms. I get the room list, but the “Connect” option is grayed out, as is the Port Check button. I think it may be a Windows 11 firewall issue.
Gotta leave it alone. Spent *way* too much time on it this evening. 😐 #HamRadio #Yaesu #WiresX
Hello fellow hams - what are your favourite YSF rooms to stay on, lurk and listen? It could be fun to have a common room for fedi fellows :D :radio_handheld:
lore: i bought Yaesu FT5D for aprs functionality, but recently grown up to not hate on internet-based HAMing on that particular matter and bought a mmdvm hotspot - now i want to get some inspiration :radio_tower:
@W1CDN #c4fm #wiresx provides a similar mechanism (not exactly the same), but you can leave text, voice and pictures on a C4FM/Wires-x repeater (Using the news function in wires-x: https://www.yaesu.com/downloadFile.cfm?FileID=17430&FileCatID=263&FileName=WIRES%2DX%5FPDN%5FFunction%5FOM%5FENG%5F2205%2DI.pdf&FileContentType=application%2Fpdf)
Last week I sold a couple of used laptops I had sitting around to finance my repeater project. So that is pretty cool. Turning junk into cool stuff.
That said, after tinkering with this repeater I learned because it has the optional ethernet linking board I cannot use my Wires X interface box. Come on Yaesu, what were you thinking.
Looking for ideas.
Can I “disable” the optional ethernet linking board?
I've just updated my site to share my VHF digital hotspot setup with you all.

Have you played around with digital VHF radio? What are you favorite talk groups?
Hello from Orlando FL. WIRES-X node using an FT2DR as the gateway radio and an FT5DR as my main radio. You might hear me in the Long Beach area on 431.500 C4FM during the weekend. #wiresx #room43422 #freewayfusion
On tonight's Burlington #AmateurRadio Club #Fusion Net at 20:00 EST (17:00 PST) we pose the question: What type of cable do you use between your radio and antenna for HF and VHF/UHF?
Join us locally on our Fusion Repeater, VE3RSB at 442.0375 +5MHz, DN (Digital Narrow) or #WiresX Room 61272.
Out of town visitors are welcome. We had someone from Australia last week!

Please boost.
On the ONE hand, I was glad that Chris came on for the Monday eve #MinWis #WiresX net, though none was scheduled, so that if someone showed up expecting the net, a voice would be there. He mentioned the #OlivaWinterQsoParty ...which has had me tuning around, copying stations, even having a few QSOs on a mode I'd not used before, AFAICR.
On the other hand, give some old farts a chance to type a message, & they have to whine about FT8.

A new week begins and there is definitely an autumnal feel in the air on North West Fusion Group. Time to dust off those Fusion radios ready for the colder days ahead.
As always The Squirrel Net will be here every morning at 7am to gently start the day.
The rest of the week brings our three regular weekly nets so plenty going on.
Our repeaters and gateways are totally free to use.

I was able to fix the stuck tx issue by setting the MMDVM to simplex. Next, I found my old settings from pi-Star and used that to set the Rx/txdcoffset.
Finally, stuff started to work. I set up #YSF and #ysf2dmr, and both the #wiresx control and ysf2dmr bridging seem to work correctly, right from my HT.
The #wpsd interface seems like a nice upgrade from the old pi-Star dash, and I like having more up-to-date components (and #M17project )
If you're looking for a nice refresh, give it a try!
Tonight’s the night. Join the lovely Sue G1OHH for her evening net at 19;30. Only on the North West Fusion Group repeater and gateway network, WiresX NWFG and YSF GB NWFG2 😊#hamr #hamradio #amateurradio #WiresX #YaesuFusion #C4FM #YSF #RSGB

With all the solar activity making the HF bands unstable why not ditch the HF transceivers for the day and put out a call on your favourite Fusion network. 😁
