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 node stations are voluntarily operated and registered with Yaesu by users. Their locations, frequencies and
operation information are listed on our website:
https://www.yaesu.com/jp/en/wires-x/index.php
First use the website list to search for a nearby local WIRES-X node, also identify active nodes on the Internet that you
may want to communicate with; write down the node names (call signs) 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.
• When the local node in an analog station:
Connect from your transceiver in analog mode.
