Yaesu FT-270R User Manual

FT-270R OPERA TING MANUAL48
The FT-270R can be used to access a “node” (repeater or base station) which is tied into
the Vertex Standard WiRES™ (Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System)
network, operating in the “SRG” (Sister Radio Group) mode. Details may be found at the
WiRES-II Web site: http://www.vxstd.com/en/wiresinfo-en/. This feature may also be used
to access other systems, as described below.
1. Press the
[
0
(
SET
)]
key momentarily to activate the Internet Con-
nection feature. The “ ” icon will appear in the upper right
corner of the display.
2. Press and hold in the
[
0
(
SET
)]
key for one second, then rotate
the DIAL knob to select the access number (ICOD “0” ~ “9,”
“A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” “E (),” “F (#),”) corresponding to the
WIRES™ node to which you wish to establish an Internet link
(ask the node or repeater owner/operator if you don’t know the access number in the
network). Now press the PTT switch to exit from the selection mode.
3. With the Internet Connection feature activated (as in step 1 above), the FT-270R will
generate a brief (0.1 second) DTMF tone according to your selection in step 2. This
DTMF tone is sent at the beginning of every transmission to establish or maintain the
link to the local WIRES™ node operating in the SRG mode.
4. To disable the Internet Connection feature, press the
[
0
(
SET
)]
key momentarily (the
“ ” icon will disappear from the display).
If other users report that you always have a DTMF “beep” at the beginning
of each transmission, and you are not operating in conjunction with Internet
access, disable this function via step (4) above.
You may access other Internet Link Systems (including WiRES™ in the “FRG” mode) that
use a DTMF string for access.
1. Load the DTMF tones which you wish to use for Internet-link access into a DTMF Autodial
memory register. For purposes of this example, we will use “#123” as the access code.
A. Press the
[
F/L
]
key, then press the
[
0
(

)]
key to enter the Set mode.
B. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 17: DT WRT.
C. Press the
[
F/L
]
key to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item.
D. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the DTMF Memory register
(“d1” ~ “d9”) into which you wish to store the access code.
E. Press the
[
F/L
]
key momentarily. The first digit will blink.
F. Rotate the DIAL knob to select “F” (representing DTMF
“#”: the first digit of the DTMF string).
G. Press the
[
F/L
]
key momentarily to accept the first digit and
move to the second digit of the DTMF string.
H. Repeat the previous steps until you have completed the
INTERNET CONNECTION FEATURE
