- W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK
- KF5NXR - John : Good to know! Our local repeater has both YSF and FCS paths to them, but those trying to come in via FCS over the past couple of weeks have had issues. We might need to make the same decision about pulling the FCS path.
- W4IOD-Odis : YSF has the advantage over FCS because the reflectors are not centrally located like FCS. MNWIS used to be connected to an FCS reflector but it was dropped in favor of the YSF.
- KF5NXR - John : Speaking of YSF, it seems that FCS has been on the struggle bus the past couple of weeks, especially FCS server 3 based out of Canada.
- KF5NXR - John : Roger roger Odis!
- W4IOD-Odis : Your right the computer itself does not care
- W4IOD-Odis : John, I have to look at the BIG picture there are more connected on the YSF side right now than there are WiresX connection so that's why I mentioned that last week.
- KF5NXR - John : Completely agree Odis as far as your WiFi nic card on your computer, however, the application on your computer doesn't care nor know what freq your wifi is connected at, is what I commenting at.
- W4IOD-Odis : BTW John looking at your comment from last week on wifi....yes it will make a difference on hotspots as most operate on 2.4G ONLY so if your trying to connect to a YSF reflector that could be an issue.
- W4IOD-Odis : HowDEE John
- KF5NXR - John : Good Evening from Texas!
- W4IOD-Odis : Good evening all 9/18/2023
- W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK
- KF5NXR - John : Short of the operating freq of your wifi card on your laptop.
- KF5NXR - John : The freq of your wifi shouldn't have anything to do with the programs on your laptop. ie Wire X's etc.

- W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK
- K9EQ-Chris : Yes, they could be linked together using IMRS. In your case you would probably run a pair of 5.8 GHz TCP/IP radios pointed at each other.
- Steve K3FZT : That's interesting. I didn't know that. We've just replaced two old DR-1X repeaters with DR-2X w/network cards. No internet at these hospital "attic" locations. First we have to replace one of the duplexers, measured a 3+ db loss through it!
- K9EQ-Chris : The function is also used by IMRS to select "groups" of repeaters. There are about four distinct things that are called "Group Mode".
- K9EQ-Chris : Most people leave the Tx Encode set to 00 which is the wildcard. Some repeaters/nodes require a non-zero value for access. Likewise the Rx value is similar to CTCSS decode.
- Steve K3FZT : Yes. That's how I've used it.
- K9EQ-Chris : That's a bit different. I believe that's done by changing the Tx Encode value. It isn't strictly necessary to set a value to use GM.
- Steve K3FZT : GM can also be used w/XLX Reflectors to move among modules of the Reflector. See xlx303 Colorado Digital Network for an example.
- W4IOD-Odis : FTM 500DR information can be found at https://www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=249&encProdID=0308259EFC6C36C21D8DCDB78ECBBDCA&DivisionID=65&isArchived=0

- K3FZT-Steve : I think I'd like to stand up a YSF reflector bridged to one of my club's new DR-2X repeaters. The WIRES-X node for that repeater is located at my QTH. I'm looking for resources to help me learn about standing up a reflector, maintaining it and managing the bridging to the WIRES-X Room.
- W4IOD-Odis : Hello Steve
- K3FZT-Steve : Good evening, Odis.

- K9EQ-Chris : GE
- KF5NXR - John : Good Evening from Dallas!
- K9EQ-Chris : Ads now say that the CD-41 can be used with the SAD-25 charger which I think is 10.5.
- K3FZT4-Steve : will give it a good charge then on Wednesday
- K3FZT4-Steve : I'm going to leave the radio out and take it to the club meeting tomorrow
- K3FZT4-Steve : The SAD-24 which is powering the CD=41 says it is putting out 12V at 0.5A so that's not 600ma
- W4IOD-Odis : Everyone have a good evening and stay safe 73 de W4IOD SK
- KF5NXR - John : I'll check on that heat question you have as well.
- KF5NXR - John : I've got one of those 12(10.5)-16V 600mA chargers! input and 8.4v 600 mA out
- K9EQ-Chris : Anybody with a CD-41 drop in charger where the input voltage range is different from 12 - 16V?

- W4IOD-Odis : Hello Joel and yes the 991 will not transmit if the squelch is open in GM so turn your squelch down to zero.
- K0OQL-Joel : Is there a way for tech class to monitor the 10m C4FM without transmitting? Turning power down will still put out a signal.
- K0OQL-Joel : I am in on the HF info.

- guest_9591 : 12/20/2022
- guest_9591 : ... to transmit outside of the spec ranges. Is this true?
- guest_9591 : I have a few GRMS type radios, but they very in spec frequencies band ranges. I am still able to hear outside of the band range though transmitting only works on the spec ranges. This kind of makes perfect sense to me; to isolate band ranges based on functional usages of those ranges. So anyway, I know another person claiming they are a ham operator who says you can set the device via programming/
- guest_9591 : My question:
- guest_9591 : cool. so I have a question for an experienced Ham operator as I am just beginning to learn, and although I would think this should be an easy question to find the answer to online, it seems no one is talking about this nuance.
- guest_9591 : testing to see how live this is.

- KF5NXR - John : Roger Roger Chris!
- K9EQ-Chris : A lot of people have their audio too high. Chuck's is a bit on the low side, which is okay. But when somebody has their audio so high it's clipping, then one needs to jump for the volume control.
- KF5NXR - John : Always been curious why Chuk's K0ORK audio is so much lower than everyone else? Seems like I'm constantly have to turn the volume up and down throughout the net.
- W4IOD-Odis : Hello Marty
