Russell, Well I’m sorry to have picked up on “…Yaesu Fusion…” in your email,   it might well be a bridge to far to start 2 meters with.  

Folks who suggested local repeaters have good advice.

This afternoon at 4:00 P local, I’m printed global use on Yaesu Fusion repeaters in descending order, thanks to EchoLink software. 

The US leads the world on usage, at 2419, China has 6,  and these a lot of countries with count of 1.

Fusion might be in your future when interested.

Not sure if the above link will go directly to the results. I searched on 25 mi centered on Tewksbury, and YSF (Yaesu System Fusion/C4FM) in the search box. Pic below. 

Henry was trying to describe using Wires-X to link thru the Internet. Yes I think we need to find out what model you have, first, Russell. 

I hear tFusion activity fairly often on the Pepperell repeater (and it links to the Wolf Den for their Friday night net). 

As Russell is a beginner we should help him with the basics, local FM repeaters too.

Russell,

Can you describe the model of the radio you have?  I suspect you just want to get going with a hand held, and the reply from Henry seems more about setting up a repeater.

The words “Fusion” and “Yaesu”, caught my eye Russell, perhaps my experience will be of use.

I used Fusion from Littleton, on Verizon fiber internet worked well, now I’m NH, with Starlink router, which does not support UDP, and waiting for UDP router ASUS to provide speed and UDP.  

Requirements:

            W10 or 11, IPv6, Router with UDP, 2 each wires-s transceivers, USB connecting device to PC, SCU20 adaptor or base like Yaesu FTM400, Registration to access Yaesu wires-x server – it’s free, EchoLink software – free, Yaesu wires-x software – free to operate Fusion.  

Operation:

            Connect dummy load to 2 meter base transceiver, when booted to wires-x mode, prevent RF on TX from you base station radiate.  

            Your TX goes to the internet to other Fusion devices on the internet. 

            There are more US wires-x operators than the rest of the world combined, total about 4,000 on air at one time.

            The quality is excellent.  

Resources:

            Yaesu wires-x manual are a must.

            YouTube used with caution. 

For emergency communications 2m 70cm is great for local use,  Fusion requires the internet, which in an emergency will be “managed.”

Please contact me directly if you have any questions: at hgcsenior at gmail.com <mailto:hgcsenior at gmail.com> , or phone 978-501-4705.

Hi Bruce,

   My name is Russell Bent (KC1RLM), and I recently received my Technician’s license. I’m interested in joining the Billerica club. Also, I purchases a Yeasu Fusion radio, and I’m looking for an Elmer to help me get on the air. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Russell
