- My FT3D has a Wires-X button, but as I am not in range of any Wires-X repeaters, I decided to build a node, and do for for the least amount of money possible. I managed it for £40.57.
After building the hotspot, I tested it on a GOTA chase (www.GOTA.org.uk).
Thanks for watching,

Have built a few. They are a fun little project. But can only connect to ysf rooms and not actual wires-x rooms. But still gets you into most rooms. It's a cheap way to let you talk around the world.
Where are u we need the videos and tutorials back 😀
Good job on your first contact. Lovely bit of kit.
Hi, hope your ok not seen anything from you for a long time.
Nice Video, good content. Will definitely build one on my own.
Good stuff 73
Hi Ben, I really like your videos thank you, very accessible. I'm taking the Foundation exam next week, then booking the Intermediate ASAP as you suggested and can then try to get to grips with all this digital/Wires-X and maybe build one, I think I've all the parts bar the "hat" somewhere. I've just been listening in on my FT5D for a week or so since I got it, trying to figure out what is going on out there.
I heard you on freestar earlier on having this qso. Nice to see you back on TH-cam.
Cheers. And thanks for watching.
Can you put the link in description on the HAT so others could buy it.
Good video, this might already be mentioned but I did not see it. This is not true Wires-X but rather YSF (Yaesu System Fusion). There are a lot of really good YSF Rooms, I know because I have two of them. You will need an HRI-200 to host a Wires-X Room on Yaesu's system, and at least a PDN style radio to access all the true Wires-X rooms. Good video though, I have many Pi-Star hotspots and they work well.
Good video Ben, I struggled to get it how I wanted on with YSF when I bought the FT-5DE last September. Now I can jump in and out of YSF and YSF2DMR, store commonly used talkgroups etc. without having to log onto Pi-Star. Fiddily but I've had 2 weeks of isolation to practice it. Then I made backups of everything.
Hi Ben, I hope you are well, it's been a while since your last video.
I cant just make the hotspot with my ft5d worked once but not anymore the hotspot does not hear the pressed Xwires button any help friends?
Nice job - get a used raspberry pi3b for £20 and it will boot alot quicker interestingly you dont have to change anything on the sd card also this allows easy conection to a Nextion screen -73
Hi Ben. How would you go about setting this thing up to switch between two different WiFi SSID? I have one on order, this should be here slightly after the good folk at RSGB and OFCOM issue my Fundamentals license. Thanks for the inspiration.
Answered my own question, PI-Star allows setting up a list of WiFi SSID, if one is not available, it will go to the second one, and then the third one ... Handy, as I have a MiFi. M7CGL 73.
What has happened to the REVS videos? Is he OK
Wondering the same thing. Really sad. Seems he's dropped out of the hobby or had YT burn-out.
weres the videos gone have you left the hobby
The Banana Pi M2 Zero is an single board computer which measures only 65mm*30mm. Its external interfaces are the same as the Raspberry Pi Zero W, and it will fit almost all cases and accessories for the Zero W. It uses the quad-core Cortex A7 Allwinner H2+ processor, with 512MB RAM. It's ideal for light-weight systems and space-limited applications. Like other members of the Banana Pi family, it supports both Linux and Android operating systems.

Doesn't that metal box rather spoil the Wi-Fi abilities of the Pi-Zero W?
All the ones I have built, I made a cut out of the "Wireless symbol" and replaced with thin black plastic. That solved the connection problems with the Access Point downstairs. So yes, not the best design in the world but seems to work fine if you have an Access Point in the same room.
Try the pi zero2 overclock it a bit and/or use a faster SD card from a legit uk supplier that card looked a bit knock off. i use the SanDisk Extreme cards in raspberrys and it makes difference using faster cards...
Hi Ben, do you still operate?
Very rarely. Twice in the last 18 months.
Hi Ben..Always enjoyed your vids. Will you becoming back or has life taken over?
Have Baofeng UV-5R. Have looked up local repeater and added them to channel 2 as per video. Heard nothing. I think my local repeater ( Blackburn, North West ) may not be suitable. It mentions DMR but, doesn't mention FM or analogue. Please help if you can whilst I still have a little hair left.
If it is a DMR repeater, the UV5R will not be able to pick it up. You need an analogue FM repeater for it...
@@RadioRevG5REV I can't find one. I think I may be using the search incorrectly because I can't find one within the maximum 200Km
@@chrisseymour3027 what about this one? www.repeaterbook.com/row_repeaters/details.php?state_id=GB&ID=9537
@@RadioRevG5REV I think you may have just been more helpful than you can know. I can hear a conversation on my SDR and my Baufeng. I can hear both halves of the conversation so I am guessing that both parties are fairly near. I am wondering if they will be contactable through the web link on the page that you selected. I'll program in the Accrington repeater and, try to see if I can find these guys through the website. I may get lucky. I'll let you know how I get on.
They told another operator that they were using BB3RF repeater in Accrington but, Sadly I can't find any information on this. They also mentioned the Allstar system. I'll be finding more information on that tomorrow. My eyes are on stalks and sleep is calling through a megaphone.
Your cutting out the time delay !
YSF is one thing and WIRES X is another thing ! Most of people make the confusion thinking it's the same net but it's NOT ! F1HQD / CN8UN / LX2UN / KO4REZ
