I bit my tongue and tried my best not to reply. But what the heck are repeaters for if we are not to use them? One hears too often that repeaters in Calgary are dead. Well, if people are told not to use them, yes they are dead. And wIth private IRLPs, Echo link, and many other computer ham operating software, is it any wonder the repeaters are dead?
As for wires X, I am still trying to figure out how to connect through a repeater. Not being interested in computers, I don't want to be tied down to a computer but to use a fusion radio portable or mobile. There is so much information on different Wires X radios, their upgrades, etc. but what is most practicle. I might be stealing this post, but where can one find an easy to read article on how to set up ones radio to operate on a wires X repeater? I know Yaesu has a section on wires X so is this the best one to read? Or has someone else created a Wires X for dummies?
