Using WIRES-X and the GM Function Simultaneously
You can use WIRES-X even when using the GM (Group Monitor) function on the
transceiver. By forming a group including local nodes and operating the GM function,
group members can also utilize WIRES-X to communicate with nodes or rooms on the
Internet, including exchanging data.
This section explains how to use a local node which is registered as a group member.
For details on how to use the GM functions, refer to the separate GM instruction manual
available on our website.
