- This is a UPDATE of the orignal video I did about two (2) years ago. Both new technology and new product releases demanded that I update this video. Now "A Quick look at Yaesu's System Fusion" is up to date and covers more of Yaesu System Fusion than the original video. I hope that this video will give you a better idea of what is and is not. this is a quick overview of Fusion NOT a complete guide to Fusion.

Great video. I appreciate all you do for the Amateur Radio community.
Thank you and thank you for your support of this channel.
Great update to an already informative discussion about System Fusion. There is now a Net on Friday nights in my area, so all the ops with Fusion radios can actually hear how it sounds and is employed. I have an FTM-200 for my base, and I am saving up to purchase a FT-3 for my Fusion HT. Yes, i know the FT-5 is out, but comparisonwise, there really isnt that much innovation difference. Thank you, Ken for all you do, not just for Fusion, but amatuer radio in general. 73. KC3UEE
Thank you Derrick for all your support over the last few years. I feel the same way about the FT5. 73 Ken
This was perfect. Thank you for a current update! Looking into ordering the FT-70DR since my neighborhood of West Virginia has a repeater using only C4FM with all these rolling hills around........
Have fun, that is a nice rig.

These videos have been great for learning about Fusion & Wires-X. Thanks Ken!
Great to hear! Thanks! Ken
Hi! could openspot 4 replace the Hri200? what would be the pros and cons !
thank you!

All Spot devices (including the OpenSpot 4) DO NOT CONNECT TO Wires-X! C4FM is all about using Wires-X to communicate to other node users around the world with that superb sound quality that YAESU’S C4FM is know for. Why do you want to use a HRI-200, if this is for your personal use and not for a repeater, why not use the PDN node. It is easy to setup and use, does not require any port forwarding and will do everything that you would want it to do while surfing Wires-X. Hope that this helps you. 73
I have a question about the DATA port on the FTX-500 and earlier radios, the 10-pin proprietary mini-DIN port. From what I gather, in APRS the received OTA packets are sent down the RS-232 link on this port, where they can be viewed on a PC or tablet or imported into a GPS display. In C4FM, does this occur with packets for location data?
My goal is to get my family all licensed and to be able to monitor location on a tablet or similar for when the group splits up while enjoying the great outdoors, so that we'll know where everyone is. The on-screen distance/bearing is nice, but it doesn't help as much for going to find someone as seeing their location on a map would. If everyone has a System Fusion radio it would seem like it's a lot easier to receive their digital transmission with their location embedded than it would be to configure APRS and dedicate one channel to it.
I first going to tell you that this is a little bit out of my pay grade, but, I think that if you look at a HT, it has a compass that will plot a course to someone you’re talking to in C4 FM. On My FT 3, you tap the display button and a compass comes up and if you’re talking to someone, their location will be on the compass and you could find your way to them. Never really had a chance to play with that feature, but it looks interesting. In case you’re trying to find Ham that is injured or lost somewhere. Good luck play with that a little bit. Let me know how it works out for you and thank you for asking your question. 73, Ken.
@@thefusionelmerguy2234 I actually don't have any modern Yaesu equipment, I'm in that phase of trying to determine which digital radio system is right for me. Been licensed for over 20 years but haven't operated very much. By the time I got licensed it was to talk with existing friends and cell phones followed shortly enough that 2m simplex wasn't especially useful outside of mobile operations.
Question, if you have a Yaesu 10-pin to computer cable like the SCU-20 or SCU-56, would you be willing to connect that data port from your radio to your PC and to open a terminal emulator like PuTTY to that COM port while making some C4FM contacts, to see if any information is sent from the radio to the PC? That sort of information could be very useful to the community for anyone looking to be able to map-out contacts without having to lose one channel to APRS full time or to participate in traditional APRS at all. Plus if it works that way, it might motivate a bunch of GMRS users that would probably be much happier as hams to actually get licensed and make the jump, since it would be a useful capability when four wheeling or hiking or camping.
Theg need remake bring
3200 3207 and 7250 $200-250 radios tgers mostly thd problem .
Theres a lot sites in 2m or 70cm
here in PA using the dxr repeaters but no internet to repeaters somd pulled plug on digiral to internet remotd cause all the digital services were being cross linked each operator has lower of louder audio. Yeasu should srated its osn thing no cross linking with dmr ect .
Well Duane, I just think that the numbers weren’t there to warrant continuing to making those radios anymore and even if they did… oh well a five cent loaf of bread is not coming back either. I also understand the problem of cross linking rooms. Yaesu already makes the best system in the world, it is up to us not to screw it up! As a repeater owner, I would first make sure that there were no nodes on my repeater that I didn’t have control of. Next the one Wires-X Node on the repeater would have ALL OFFENDING Rooms BLOCKED from being called to and ALL OFFENDING Nodes BLOCKED from being called to or called from. This action cleans things up real fast! Don’t worry about offending anyone, because they’re not worried about offending you and your rights. When you put a lot of your time and money into making the BEST System around, it just takes one person to turn it into CRAP! As far as Yaesu goes, I think they’re doing it right, they are providing the service and it is up to me as to how I would want to use it. 73, thank you for watching and your comments, Ken
