Programming and using a Yaesu FT70D with a Hotspot
Вставка

- NOTE: In this video I had issues staying connected to the HRCC link. After making this video, I found the following information which will correct the issues I was having:
"YAESU YSF HRCC LINK USERS:
Update hotspot (Get latest hostfiles)
Restart
Re-Connect to US HRCC LINK
YSF Reflector was migrated today. "
For Pi-Star users, just go into your pistar dashboard and go to the "update" tab. The pistar will update after about 10 minutes and you will no longer have a disconnect issue.
In this video I discuss connecting to a hotspot with the FT70D and a few issues/quirks you'll run into.
John Kruk from Yaesu made a statement regarding Hotspots vs WiresX: The statement is below, but I found the statement while browsing the pistar forums at forum.pistar.u...
"Time to clear up some confusion that has been popping up on some (Anti) Yaesu System Fusion sites. This is in regards to YSF and FCS reflectors.
The first one and the biggest one is that YSF and FCS reflectors are not owned, maintained, designed, or monitored by Yaesu in any way, shape, or form. Yaesu System Fusion (C4FM) is an open protocol and people have made these types of servers or reflectors for Yaesu System Fusion voice protocol.
Some have crossed these FCS and YSF reflectors over to the WiRES-X network but they are NOT, and I stress NOT, a direct connection to the WiRES-X network. The only thing that can be directly connected to the WiRES-X network is a HRI-200.
These devices have caused some audio issues especially when doing a crossmode set-up (one digital voice mode to C4FM). This can create audio issues or issues in where people are not heard but the callsign appears. This is NOT a WiRES-X issue but usually a crossmode issue with the device.
Remember that these devices that give you access to these reflectors are not true Yaesu System Fusion (C4FM) transmitters as they do NOT have a DP-ID. Therefore, you need to be careful if you choose to block a node or room because of the traffic or issues created by these bridges. EXAMPLE: If you have a crossover from a device using an FCS or YSF reflector to a WiRES-X node the node ID will be shown across the room. Therefore, if you block that node because of issues you take out everything with that node. Be it the users with Yaesu System Fusion radios going into the node directly or the devices carrying the FCS or YSF reflector traffic.
WiRES-X nodes or rooms use actual numbers as the address to the room. Therefore, when you attempt to save a room into a WiRES-X memory on a radio they will save. If you attempt to save an FCS or YSF reflector it WILL NOT work. EXAMPLE: Yaesu nodes start with a 1xxxx or a 3xxxx number and rooms start with a 2xxxx or a 4xxxx number. So if you want to store say room 21001 into a WiRES-X memeory slot you can enter 21001 or the room name. YSF reflectors do not have a number associated with them and FCS numbers do not work. Even with FCS the server 00x and reflector xx equal a five digital number the number would always stat with a 0 (like 00xxx). The radio knows that 0 is not a valid number and will not save it. It might until the radio powers off but then it will be gone.
This is just to clear up questions about FCS and YSF that users have had recently. This is not a post about saying which one is better than the other. WiRES-X operation is very different then FCS and YSF operation. Thank you for reading this and I hope that this answers peoples questions"
Your tutorials on the Yaesu FT-70D are saving my life. These are great. Thank you.
This is how I use my FT-70DR. I like to use it at my office but I have no reception capabilities at all in my building. The solution was to use an affordable radio like the FR-70DR and a Zumspot hot spot. Both play well with each other and I am able to stay in touch at work. Thanks for the video.
And here I thought analog radio programming and operations were complicated. I was all set to buy a YSF radio this weekend but decided I would force myself to wait until at least Monday so that I could think about it. Sure glad I did and sure glad I saw this video before I ordered a YSF (or any digital) radio.
I think he did an excellent job explaining. I have a FTM 400XDR for home and a FTM 3200DR for the car. I was going to get the FT4D but local hams said the 70D is a solid radio specially for the price. I have a repeater in the area that I could connect To instead of using the PISTAR… but been thinking about a hotspot for when I went on the road / Vacation
Thank you so much just got the ZUMspot RPi Elite 3.5 LCD after a struggle with it I remember your video because you help me with my old zumspot that I have for my dstar and I like my FT-70D and I like Fusion Thanks Again
Just set up my FT70D with Pi-Star 4.1.6 and it works perfectly as you have demonstrated and it retains the C1-C5 settings after power off/on cycle. Great video. Many thanks. 73 G3SNA
How did you pick the UHF frequency for the hotspot?
Would love to see a video on YSF2DMR crossmode using the FT70 with particular attention on how to navigate to different talk groups directly from the radio. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi Adam. Thanks for the suggestion. I will attempt to get it all setup in the future and see what I may be able to do. Thanks again!
I'm using a FT-70D now (as well a a Anytone 878) and this has been a useful 'shortcut' video to help get it linked to my Pi-Star. I've found that Pi-Star doesn't seem to like running DMR and YSF at the same time so I'm using a separate Pi Zero for YSF only and another for the Anytone radio. Hey Ho ... It works great though and thanks for the video. I've subscribed and hit the 'bell' thingy to be notified for anything else. From M0VXD, (York, UK)
That's a good point. I seem to see the same thing regarding DMR and YSF. Of course this was the cheapest MMDVM I could find. One day, I'll upgrade to a more expensive one and compare the two, side by side.. Thank You for your support!
Outfreaking Standing Thanks from NP3JD
Thanks for the clarification on many things. Great little radio!
The complexity of the Yaesu radio interface and menus have made me stay away from the digital modes. I have never used System Fusion or D-Star. I do have a Yaesu-FT-70D and I recently got an icom ID-52A (much mush easier menu system). I'm building a Pi-Star hotspot right now and hopefully will play around with some digital modes soon. Thanks for your detailed guide.
Thank you for this video as well HRD. Saving this one as well. Am taking a break from my radio but will get it programmed tomorrow after my Wife and I get back from Church. KD9QAN signing off.
Hopefully it went well!
Yesterday I got my Pi-Star working with my 5D. From what I saw in your demonstration I do not need to be constantly connected to may laptop and pistar interface to use WiresX. I do have the use of WiresX in Direct mode but don’t like having to be tethered to the computer.
That should be correct. No reason to have your laptop with you constantly.
Thanks for the video.. It really helped.
Glad it helped
I’m thinking of getting an ft70 but cannot find out about the lack of * star button for example HUBNET is *55 and most allstar node numbers start with *3. Any ideas please
How did he get the part where he entered the room #? Mine wont do that. The hotspot is picking it up but nothing else.
Ok kids born before 2000. Entering the alpha tag for that channel is how we texted on our Nokia phones to Jesus.
Yeah, and get off my lawn.
My screen shows the hotspot I am connected to. At 7:54 in this video you spin the dial to get to the screen to enter the room number. How did you get to that screen/input?
Good job explaining that!!!! I been thinking about getting the 70 D.. Although I have a YSF repeater in the area i’ve been researching other ways of getting on air and also far was in another area. Like when I go down my mothers house she lives in North Carolina out in the country, I took my beofeng with me and couldn’t connect to any repeaters in analog so I can use that to get on there through my moms Wi-Fi. I’ve been wanting to get the 70 D because other local hams have it and say it’s a good radio solid for the price point. What do you think about the 70 D compared to the FT4D or FT5D?
Hi! Regarding the VW mode, once you have enabled it on the manu like you did, just click the MODE button to toggle between DN VW FM
Thank You very much!
Thank you!!!
How can I choose a UHF freq. from the 70cm spectrum which won’t interfere in my area for the hotspot? That’s the hardest part I am finding before starting setting up my new hotspot.
should the wires pass thru be enabled? or no?
hi! could you please help me. convert my ft70d file to csv? i dont have an opportunity.
What is the range on these hotspots. How far can you go from the hotspot and till achieve connection?
Hi: I have the Yaesu FT70D. I want to program thus radio using the
specific software, but avery time that I connect the data cable I have
this message "" INVALID COM SETTING"" How can I solve this issue?
Thanks
Great Video, got me up and running fast! Quick question, is it a radio setting or default setting of YSF rooms, there is a hella of annoying beep every time traffic comes in or stops while monitoring. Is there a way to turn that off? Keep up the good work!
This video may help: ua-cam.com/video/gh5kQyNZH9k/v-deo.html
@@HAMRADIODUDE Thanks, that's not it. But worth a try. I am beginning to think it is either a YSF room thing or my ZumSpot thing. I do not hear it in DMR mode on my Anytone and Moto radios. I only hear it on FT 300D and FT70D both of which I turned every beep I can find off. Cheers! Rick
How do you get the asterisk
Maybe somebody can help me I recently changed internet companies now my hotspot won’t find it like it’s blind it don’t even see it.
Do you have to have a hot spot or "pi star" in order to talk on a fusion repeater?
You do not, you can use c4fm on simplex and local repeaters which support it
I have watched this video a dozen or more times and I follow the instructions step by step.Yet my radio will not key my hotspot. Later in the video it shows changing rooms and then getting the asterisk and entering a reflector number. After setup if I turn the knob on top it just coes to a different channel. So, I am clearly missing something.
In your menu, can you confirm `W-DGID` in the menu it's set to `AUTO`? Does pistar not see this activity? I no longer have the radio, but hope this helps
How do I find past video of Pstar in stall
At 7:42, after showing the node/room list, you say, "If you use the knob at top . . ." and when you turn it, the different node names appear. When I turn mine, it changes the memory selection. How do I get to where you are? Thanks
Interesting. It seems part of the video got cut out. On the main display, hit F and to then the ams button. This week connect to the "wires" pistart. From there you should be able to use the nob on the top like I was
@@HAMRADIODUDE Thanks I was stumped by that too. Appreciate all your help! K7KS
Ahhh there it is
Good video how do you disconnect your hot spot from the room. I know how to disconnect the radio from the hot spot but not the hot spot from the room
Long Press the "BAND" button only. It seems to work only when there is no conversation tho...
Hi HRD, could you link me into the earlier video where you set up the Pi Star account. I am just with the FT-70D only, no Hotspot just yet. I guess you can register for a Pi Star account before hand?
ua-cam.com/video/hbeo0gaQQns/v-deo.html this is a link to me showing how to setup pistar. The concept of the same into you get to configuring the pistar, which you would still it to fusion instead of dmr. I'll try to make a video specifically for c4fm here in the near future. Sorry for the confusion
im lost your videos are amazing
i have a yaesu FT 70D and an Anytone AT878UV
my pi-star dashboard is showing YSF i cannot use my anytone radio as i am still connected to wires x?
when i hit the mode button TOO ROO comes up and the TOO flashes ?
Help
To use the anytone, you'd want to configure the hotspot for dmr. I don't believe the hotspot could do both at the same time. Hopefully that's of some assistance
At 7:45 you start flipping through rooms, but you never showed how you got into a mode that allowed room selection. When I turn the top knob, it selects between my channel memory locations. Can you give a hint regarding how to get into the mode that selects rooms?
Unfortunately I'm traveling for a bit. So I don't have the radio in front of me to tell. Does this video help ua-cam.com/video/uERG3ip-EZk/v-deo.html
Hi, i'm IU8MLV and I have a problem with my FT70DE. I can't transit to MMDVM HOTSPOT. In reception, however, I receive. With my FTM 400, however, I have no problem receiving and transmitting.
I set the radio to Simplex mode, then DN mode without AMS, then set WideFM, then set Half Dev to disabled mode, and channel bandwidth to 12.5Khz.
But I can not in any way transit on the Hotspot. I dare not imagine when I will have to configure the other FT3DE radio: on various forums I have read that the FT70DE and also FT1 and FT3 create many of these problems. Could you tell me how to solve the problem? Thank you very much
hello "IU8MLV" for me all reset Yaesu FT 70 end now is good : push power + (mode +HM/RV+AMS ) valide" F" 73 F4JGF seb
@@kaza9522 OK many thanks for you response. I solved a problem: i set the offset TX and RX in parameter to hotspot: The value i'ts very high, but now it's ok!
I am using a hotspot and want to enter into America link.. It won't let me enter an FCS reflector. Is there a way to do this?
I believe there are some rooms setup to bridge the YSF network and the hotspot network, but the hotspot typically connects to it's own set of rooms which aren't om actual rooms on the YSF network
After set up
After set up complete ,how do I get list of rooms on radio?
In DN mode, hit the f button then AMS. with pistar, sometimes you have to hit it twice.. this should connect you to "wires x" on your node.
hadnt used my ft70 nor pistar in a year, turned both on , everything worked, talked to a few people on America link, today it wont connect. Radio will transmit , i can see it on dashboard, when i transmit to connect to room, i do not get a connection. Watched your video multiple times, doing everyting right, just isnt working.
In the pi star interface, there's a tab which I think says update. Run the updates and see if it fixes everything. S few months ago, I had to do the same thing. Hopefully that will be a good solution for you
How about avery short video about "disconnecting"
I would love to. I'll see if I can get my hands on a ft70d. Mine died due my own fault. If I can, I will.
@@HAMRADIODUDE I started with a little DMR then switched to Fusion as well. Many great step by step DMR videos but not as many with the most basic steps for Yaesu
coolbeans
Thanks!
press mode button
Oh yes, after it's enabled, go to mode! Thanks. Next episode I'll be sure to mention that and give you a shout out. Thanks for pointing that out!
tutorial? skip around more for total confusion
Sorry you didn't enjoy it. Is there something you don't understand or I can try to help you with?
It works but its not actually ham radio. Worlwide communication on half a watt is not ham radio. Use 20 meters HF like real ham operators. VE3BQH
Thanks.
