Using the news function
What is the news function?
This feature allows digital data text, images and audio data to be saved on the WIRES-X node PC. The data can then later be read
from the connected digital stations and and other nodes.
The digital stations and nodes can access the data storage area (news station) of the connected node or room and upload/download
the various types of data.
Text messages, images or audio data can be shared. In the event of an emergency, audio messages can be transmitted to Group
Members.
The WIRES-X server also has its own news station where you can read digital data (INT NEWS) provided by YAESU.

Data stored and published by a WIRES-X node or room is called “NEWS”. The NEWS is categorized into the following 3 types.
LOCAL NEWS ................................................Data stored and published by your station (node/room)
Access to the data on your node or room from other digital station and nodes, can
be permitted by selecting from the options: upload & download; download-only, or
access denied.
NEWS STATION .............................................Data stored and published by a node or room on the Internet
Depending on the publisher’s setting, the data may be upload & download, or
download-only.
INT NEWS ...................................................... Data originated and published by YAESU
For download-only
The following types of data can be handled:
Text .................................................................Up to 80 letters in TXT format
Picture ............................................................ Image resolution of 320 x 240 or less, 40 kB or less in JPEG format

Tip
“EMG Voice” emergency information is audio data that is stored separately from the routine audio data. For the first 2 hours after the emergency data is
uploaded, the “EMG Voice” message is automatically transmitted every 5 minutes via the connected node or room. After 2 hours, the data will be deleted
automatically.
