  1. Download and install all current firmware updates for your radio. If you have not done this in the past 6 months, it is due.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Download and print the \u201cAdvanced Operating Manual including Wires-X function\u201d for each radio you plan on using on the system. This can be found with a google search.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. If you have an FT2DR, FT3DR. FTM-100DR, or FTM-400DR\/XDR, and plan to use on Wires-X in PDN mode, apply for an account from the Yaesu Wires-X website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Set your call sign on your radio.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Set your Wires-X Frequency to manual mode. (See manual above)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Set a memory channel for the W2SO UHF repeater at 443.850, positive offset,
    with a PL Tone of 107.2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Press or hold your Wires-X button (see manual above for radio-specific operation). The handshake between your radio should complete. If not, repeat the above steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Listen. If someone is on, wait your turn and say your call sign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. If no one is on and you want to switch rooms, either switch to encode or search directly and find a room to connect to. (See the manual above for radio-specific operation)
    a. Room Suggestions Include:
    i. Zombie Alert Network (Michigan Repeaters)- 50048
    ii. Texas Nexus- 21636
    iii. MNWis- Minnesota Wisconsin Fusion Link- 21493
    iv. America Link-(you might not be able to disconnect)- 21080<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Once connected to a room, say your call sign and get ready. Remember, you are limited to 3 minutes of continuous talk time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Although your call sign is always transmitted, it is best practice to state your call every ten minutes per FCC rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. When you are done in the room, disconnect or move the room back to the W2SO room- 62312.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_mc_calendar":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-120","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","bnm-entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4625,"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120\/revisions\/4625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/w2so.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
