FT70DR Operation on WIRES-X Nodes (System Fusion Rooms)

Check your DG-ID (most repeaters usually 00) in menu 63. Setting this menu to AUTO usually works. Once set this does not normally need to be changed.

A WIRES-X NODE listens to the local repeater, and you can use it as a gateway to access the System Fusion Rooms (System Fusion digital modulation is also called C4FM).

A ROOM is another name for a reflector, to which a collection of nodes is connected. Multiple nodes and repeaters might be connected together in a single room, and the activity on any node in the room will be heard on all other nodes.

If the node on the local repeater is already connected to a room, no special actions are required. Just talk as normal and you will be heard throughout the room and all connected nodes. If you want to monitor a different room, see below.


NODE COMMANDS - CONNECTING TO A NODE

Press F, then immediately press AMS.


NODE COMMANDS - REVIEWING INFORMATION ONCE CONNECTED TO A NODE

If connected to the node the first part of the room name should be displayed, then it will scroll if more than 6 characters. If no connection is made, the display will flash "WIRES" for 30 seconds, then time out and return to normal operation.

Rotating the top knob will show several screens of info.

Cn - displays room ID (e.g. CQ-CANADA-VE1AO)

C0 - stores the most recently accessed room

C1,C2,C3,C4,C5 – each memory stores a prefered room number to access

En - Allows direct entry to a room (e.g. *40678) where 40678 is the room number. Enter the desired number.

Lc - local callsign of the node you are accessing (e.g. VE7KEL-RPT)


NODE COMMANDS - CHANGING A ROOM

Select one of C0 thru C5, or En, and press AMS to connect. This automatically disconnects any previous room.


Storing a room in memory (C1-C5)

While on the Cn screen and connected to a room, press and hold any key 1 thru 5 to store the room in the corresponding memory


Erase a room in memory (C1-C5)

While on one of the memory screens (C1-C5) press and hold HM/RV to erase the memory


NODE COMMANDS - DISCONNECT THE NODE FROM A ROOM

Press and hold the BAND key. (Optional. As a courtesy, set it back on the room it was previously connected to when you are finished.)


NODE COMMANDS - DISCONNECT YOUR RADIO FROM A NODE

Press and hold MODE key. This exits any node information on screen, and returns the radio to normal use. (***Note that you must be disconnected from the node before you can talk through the node for regular conversation.***)
