2/9/2026 – Wires-X has been restarted!
I was finally able to find some time to go up to the Grande Ronde Hospital over the weekend and get the Wires-X node going again. I’m still trying to hunt down some packet loss on the receive side of things, so you may hear the repeater drop as someone is talking. I believe I know what the problem is, but it might take bit of work to get it resolved.
So you might be asking what the heck is Wires-X. Well our club repeater has the ability to link to other Yaesu Repeaters around the world, but you must be running a Yaesu System Fusion compatible 2 meter radio. It has been a number of years since we have discussed this in the club, but we will probably have a discussion on it sometime soon.
