    This is by far the most clear explanation on all of TH-cam.

      I agree, best System Fusion presentation.

    Best TH-cam video I've found on the topic. This is perfect for getting the most out of my Tech license and Ftm-400.

    Fantastic presentation about system fusion. I’m a new ham operator and this has been been great. I have a yaesu FT5 D there is so much to learn. Thanks

    Hey Kevin great job and a well-deserved refresh to my older presentation talking about all the new features of Yaesu system fusion. Super job and I hope other people enjoy your presentation like they’ve enjoyed mine over the years!

    Like many, thank you for the presentation. Thanks for clarifying what all this is about… because it’s not cheap. Lol. Overall sounds we’re just circling back to the early years of the Internet fun with them ‘bbs’ rooms (for those who remember), which the young gen today label it as ‘discord boards’. Wires X, is just the radio guys flavor/concept of those implementations. Advantage… no typing, just real voice chat over man-ly radios. 😂
    C4FM, as another digital option (i.e. vs DMR, etc), I dig. AMS ability of the Yaesu repeaters/radios, in this ‘Fusion lineup’ is pretty cool/flexible feature.

    Very informative video. As a new Ham, it put the pieces together. Thank You

    I love your "food" analogy. I am an old-timer (licensed in the 60's), and it has been hard for me to get excited about anything other than ham radio by way of atmospheric/ionospheric propagation. I'm willing to learn..... Thanks for your presentation!

    Thanks a lot, Kevin! Just what I have been looking for as a primer.
    All the best from Switzerland, and see you on the bands (or in the rooms)!

    Thanks for the great presentation. I take my Tech exam on Saturday. I'm exited to use the Wires-X to connect far and wide. Truly great explanation.

    Thanks for the explanation. But I don't understand the appeal. C4FM aside (which seems ok as a system), the rest of the System Fusion is basically just joining a Discord chat room. To me personally, the appeal of the amateur radio is the independent infrastructure. No Internet needed kind of a thing... But it may just be me...

    Excellent video...very informative! I finally understand the whole YSF platform. I only wish I had seen this video BEFORE getting my DMR radios...YSF is so much easier. That being said, it just gave me an excuse to get another radio, which should arrive in a few weeks! Thank you for taking the time to record this video! 73

    Thanks for the good explanation. I'm sure it will help as I begin to configure my FTM-300DR, HRI-200, and FT5-DR. One thing is certain, I will appreciate the quality audio. 73 OM, de WA7SON.

    Thank you Kevin, The best explanation I’ve seen yet on TH-cam ! Now that I good idea of Wires X/Fusion, do you know of or have a good TH-cam video showing operationally, setting up an FT5D?

    Thank you! You have done a great job of clearly explaining things. Unfortunately the manuals I have with my 3 Yaesu radios (FTM 400; FT 3D; FT 70) just confused me. - 73

    I just purchased a Yaesu 991a and tried out the System Fusion (Wires-X, C4FM) and believe me, it all sucks big time. You Yaesu guys said that System Fusion provides crystal clear audio, but that just isn't the case. Every time I go to C4FM the audio is muffled, muddled and other Ham's voices sound like computer generated voices. If I had purchased the Yaesu 991a for the digital mode, I would have immediately returned it. I was considering an ICOM 7300 but other Hams have told me that D-Star (Death Star) is even worse than System Fusion. You guys that designed the digital portion have a long way to go before I consider it a proper mode of communication. I purchased the Yaesu 991a because of it's all mode. We have a 2 meter SSB net here every Wed. night & 2 meter sideband radios are hard to find. W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

    Hi, very interesting video and great content. I have an Yeasu FT-70 with C4FM built in. Will I be able to do all of these things with my ht? Thanks

  • @timothygoetz9742
    @timothygoetz9742 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the video. Is there a tutorial that would walk me through how to set up a WiresX hotspot around my home? I live in a somewhat remote neighborhood and all the local repeater are not Fusion repeaters. Bottom line, I want to be able to use my FT3D around my neighborhood and property.

    • @ericc5598
      @ericc5598 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you get the hotspot to work with wires-x? Which hotspot did you use?

    D-star is Only 6.25 Khz, this is Why it's can be Use on HF, because it Narrower then a 10 Khz AM Analog Mode Signal on 80 Meters, C4FM 15 Khz is to Wide to be Use below 10 Meters,

    I have the FT70. I don’t find it easy to connect with Wires X. What is it best set up for a handheld with PDN node?

    Just one correction. The DR-2X puts out 5 watts on low power.

    I have no fusion repeaters near me unfortunately. Is a hotspot an option? I hear wires X doesn’t work with hotspots?

    Is the HRI-200 basically a WIRES-X hotspot?

    Are u still with T-Mobile? Did they allow u some space on the cell site tower for ur antenna? How high is it?

    • @KC8MTV
      @KC8MTV  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, i’m still with T-Mobile. And yes, I have my repeater at the cell site at Bear Den Mountain. The antenna, which is a Sinclair four bay dipole is on a 30 foot commercial pole next to the cell site. I was not given permission to put it on the main tower due to my inability to pay for space on the tower. But I am happy with where the antenna is currently located.

    • @sean-sk
      @sean-sk ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KC8MTV at that location a 30' pole is all that is needed. Google maps has a picture of it. I worked at TMO as a switch tech a long time ago (back when mobile networks still had switches..) Been at ATT for last 15+ years. I wish the mobile operators did more of this where they allow capable employees use some infrastructure (power, building space, tower, etc) but it is complicated. Often we do not own the tower and are co-located for other stuff. But at locations where we own everything outright it would be great. I checked our ATT cell site map tool and we don't have a site on Bear Den at all. 73's

    I have a FTM-400XDR, I only use it for analog. All this nonsense about softwares, computers, nodes, rooms, heck, I might as well just go to a chat room on the computer. It would be way easier than this stuff! Im going to donate this dumb zumspot to someone worthy of it.
