3What is WIRES-X?WIRES (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) is an Internetcommunication system which expands the range of amateur radio communication. Byrelaying radio signals via the Internet, stations can be connected where radio wavescannot reach each other.WIRES uses local nodes (stations connected to the Internet via PCs) as access pointswhich repeat communications of conventional amateur radio stations. When the localnodes are connected to each other via the Internet, amateur stations all over the worldcan communicate with each other just by connecting conventional stations to the localnodes.Local node Local node StationStationInternetIn addition to the WIRES features, WIRES-X also supports digital communications.Using WIRES-X, you can transmit and receive digitalized data such as text, image dataand audio.The device allows you to have analog/digital communications with stations far beyondthe VHF/UHF radio communication range by using WIRES-X local nodes. In digitalcommunication mode, you can search stations by call signs or keywords, and exchangedata such as messages and location information.Since you can also use WIRES-X together with the GM (Group Monitoring) function ona compatible transceiver to create a group including local nodes, you can also establisha network covering a wider range.CautionYou cannot connect to a currently in service WIRES-II node from a WIRES-X node, or vice versa.
