  1. Download and install all current firmware updates for your radio. If you have not done this in 6 months, it is due.<\/li>\n
  2. Download and print the \u201cAdvanced Operating Manual including Wires-X function\u201d for each radio you plan on using on the system.<\/li>\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 Yaesu Wires-X website.<\/li>\n
  4. Set your call sign on your radio.<\/li>\n
  5. Set your Wires-X Frequency to manual mode. (See manual above)<\/li>\n
  6. Set a memory channel for the W2SO UHF repeater at 443.850, positive offset,
    \nwith a PL Tone of 107.2<\/li>\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 above.<\/li>\n
  8. Listen. If someone is on, wait your turn and say your call sign.<\/li>\n
  9. If no one is on and you want to switch rooms, either switch to encode or search direct and find a room to connect to. (See manual above for radio specific operation)
    \nRoom Suggestions Include:
    \ni. Zombie Alert Network (Michigan Repeaters)- 50048
    \nii. Texas Nexus- 21636

  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":"
