Setup Wires-x and YAESU FT-991 with HRI-200

Setup Wires-x and YAESU FT-991 with HRI-200

It is possible to connect to another node via RF but it will depend on your antenna, the other stations antenna, power out, distance, etc.  Plus some nodes are not on the air  24/7.

The best way to use Wires-x is to buy another rig as a node rig, like the FTM-100d and a HRI-200, then connect to it using your FT-991 in wires-x mode, doing this you will be connected via the internet to the the Wires-x system and then you can connect to any active node anywhere. If you use C4FM rigs you can do this digital which gives you more functions and better audio.  You can also use analog, any VHF/UHF rig with the 6 pin mini din, like on the back of the FT-991 is plug and play with the HRI-200, but you will still need two rigs, plus the HRI-200.

I know it sounds like a lot but it is a good system and fun to use.
