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. When the local
nodes are connected to each other via the Internet, amateur stations all over the world
can communicate with each other just by connecting conventional stations to the local
nodes.
Internet
Station
Local node
Local node
Station
In addition to the WIRES features, WIRES-X also supports digital communications. Using
WIRES-X, you can transmit and receive digitalized data such as text, image data and
audio.
Using the WIRES-X in conjunction with the transceiver allows you to have analog/digital
communications with stations outside the communication range. In digital communication
mode, you can search stations by call signs or keywords, and exchange data such as
messages and location information.
Since you can also use WIRES-X together with the GM (Group Monitoring) function on a
compatible transceiver to create a group including local nodes, you can also establish a
network covering a wider range.
Caution
You cannot connect to a currently in service WIRES-II node from a WIRES-X node, or vice versa.

■■ Node
Radio repeater connected to the Internet via a PC, which repeats communications of
conventional amateur radio stations as an access point
●●Local node
Node within the radio communication range of a conventional amateur radio station
●●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
●●Digital node
Node which is a transceiver or repeater compatible with digital communications in C4FM
(Continuous 4 level FM) format. With this type of node, you can transmit/receive audio
as well as text and image data. You can also repeat DMTF codes and analog audio
transmissions/receptions.

What is WIRES-X?
■■ WIRES-X user ID
YAESU provides identification names with the WIRES-X nodes. For each node, a DTMF
ID (five-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).
●●ID list
Nodes and rooms which are currently operating WIRES are listed and published on our
website. We provide information such as IDs, call signs and operating frequencies (some
may not be published due to the wishes of owners).
■■ Room (Round QSO Room)
WIRES system community space to which multiple nodes can connect simultaneously.
As well as voice communications, you can also chat with text messages on the PC used
for the local node.
●●Open room
Room which allows all nodes to connect to
●●Closed room
Room only registered nodes can connect to
●●Owner
Node which opens and organizes a room
●●Activity

■■ News function
This feature allows you to save digital data such as text, image and audio data on the PC
used for the local node, and access the data from the connected digital station.
From the digital transceiver, you can access the local node (LOCAL NEWS) and the data
storage area (news station) in the node or room you connect to, and import (upload) and
export (download) data.
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.

■■ Preset search function
If the preferred channel for connecting to a local node is programmed (preset) in the
transceiver, the channel can be scanned automatically when you start up WIRES-X.
Utilize this function as follows:
• Quickly connect to the local node you usually access by presetting its frequency in
advance.
• By presetting to a shared channel frequency with your friends nodes, you can quickly
connect the transceiver to a local node even while you are traveling in other areas.
You can use two transceivers as nodes, one for the preset search channel (receive only
channel) and the other for the voice channel (operation channel).

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.)

Caution
Before using WIRES-X, press
to set the communication mode of the operating band to any mode
other than [FM]. For details, refer to “Selecting communication mode” in the basic operating manual.
