Wires X Digital
Wires X digital – Our UHF repeater (442.100) is currently operating in digital mode and sometimes connected to the Wolfe Den Network via an RF link to Wires X. Users can change the Wires X room/node from their Wires X capable radios for world wide communications.
Our 6 meter analog repeater (51.64) is sometimes crossed linked.
What is Wires X Digital?
It uses local nodes (stations connected to the Internet via PCs) as access points to relay communications of conventional amateur radio stations.
Mobile stations using WIRES-X can communicate with amateur stations all over the world by using a local node access station operating within an amateur band.
The WIRES-X node consists of a PC, the WIRES-X connection kit HRI-200 and a transceiver and is a repeater station used as the WIRES-X access point to connect the Internet and the wireless signal alternatively. This node can open and run a community space “room” where multiple nodes can connect at the same time. Furthermore, the news function allows you to upload/download messages or images to/from each node or room.
Using the Portable Digital Node function, you can operate a digital node station by directly connecting a Portable Digital Node capable C4FM digital transceiver with the PC. The HRI-200 Internet interface kit is not needed, and no fixed or dynamic global IP address is required.)
* With the Portable Digital Node function, you cannot operate a Room (Including a digital room) or use the remote-control function from another location.
Access Point Operation
In this mode, WIRES-X C4FM communications are made by either directly using the USB connected Portable Digital Node Station transceiver PTT, microphone, and speaker, or via another local C4FM transceiver communicating on frequency with the USB connected Portable Digital Node Station. The Portable Digital Node Station transceiver connects directly to the PC and the internet, and then communicates with WIRES-X Nodes and Rooms.
The Portable Digital Node Station transceiver relays the local C4FM stations and signals to the internet and transmits the internet Node and Room signals to the local stations. This mode allows the flexibility to operate the Portable Digital Node directly from a single USB connected Digital Node Station transceiver, or to access Nodes and Rooms from one or several local C4FM transceivers.
