Yaesu's WiRES-X System is a network linking system which supports analog and digital communication.
Features:
- Links analog and digital users across the world-wide network of repeaters and nodes (simplex radio links)
- Allows for digital content: photos, text messages, QSL cards, voice messages, etc. in nodes/rooms.
- Relatively easy to setup software and hardware. Mostly plug-and-play.
- Can connect nodes and/or rooms together. Allows for group conversations or relatively private/small conversations.
- Allows for repeater links to be hosted off-site. (No need for internet at top of a mountain, but requires a user to dedicate an FTM-400DR or FTM-100DR for digital WiRES-X use, or most any mobile radio for analog use).
- Allows for a national/worldwide calling frequency that will automatically change the user and the node radios to a less-common frequency, thus freeing up the calling frequency.
- Live world-wide database updating available over-the-air
- Reasonably priced at only $129.95 for the HRI-200 device.
- WiRES-X can be connected directly to a DR1X repeater in analog (digital to be supported in near future) to privide worldwide repeater linking via the internet.
- WiRES-X can also be connected to most any repeater for analog worldwide repeater linking via the internet
