$YAESU-HRI-200-Radio-Link-Unit-for-Internet-fig- $6$$

WIRES Operation
Select a WIRES operation mode from the following options:

Digital: C4FM digital mode.
Analog: FM Analog mode.

Note:

The WIRES Operation is automatically set according to TX CH parameters (Transceiver) setting of the Repeater. However, if the transmit CH is AMS, the WIRES Operation setting must be selected.
When the Repeater is connected, you cannot operate the Digital Dual Receive mode.
You cannot selected GM mode or connect to a closed room while in Analog (FM) operation.

Transceiver

Select the Repeater operation mode from the following:

RX:FM – TX:FM: FM Analog repeater (WIRES Operation=Analog (fixed))
RX:DIGITAL – TX:DIGITAL: C4FM Digital repeater (WIRES Operation=Digital (fixed))
RX:AMS – TX:FM: AMS to FM repeater (WIRES Operation=Analog (fixed))
RX:AMS – TX:DIGITAL: AMS to C4FM repeater (WIRES Operation=Analog (fixed))
RX:AMS – TX:AMS: AMS to AMS repeater (WIRES Operation=selectable)

Notes:

When operating in RX:AMS mode, the WIRES-X system only relays the signal that is selected by the WIRES Operation setting.
When the “HRI-REPEATER MODE” is started in either the “RX:DIGITAL-TX:FM” or “RX:FM-TX:DIGITAL” state, the WIRES-X Node cannot operate.

Transceiver / DST / F/W version
Displays the data information of the digital transceiver in connection with the HRI-200.

Modulation
Displays the Voice CH wave format selected for repeater operation.(RX CH and TX CH)

Signal: The node becomes busy state when receiving any signal.
DG-ID: The node becomes busy state only when receiving a signal with a matching DG-ID number.

Digital SQL/Analog SQL
Enter the squelch function of the WIRES-X operating frequency (Voice CH frequency). The entered data will be displayed on the ID list.

The following squelch codes are available:

Digital Operation (The default setting is DG-ID 00.)
Select a DG-ID number 00-99 (functions only in the digital mode).

Note:
When the DG-ID number is set to “00”, the station becomes an open node station, and can be connected from any transceiver with the WIRES-X DG-ID to “AUTO”. When using the node station for a restricted group, set the DG-ID to a number other than “00”, and set all the group transceivers to the same DG-ID number.

Analog Operation (The default setting is NoTone.)

NoTone: Not using CTCSS tone or DCS code squelch.
ToneSQL: Using CTCSS tone squelch.
DCS: Using DCS code squelch.
T-CALL: Using Tone Call squelch.
Tone+TCL: Using Tone Call and CTCSS tone squelch.
DCS+TCL: Using Tone Call and DCS code squelch.

If using ToneSQL, select the desired tone frequency (67.0 – 254.1 Hz). If using DCS, select the desired DCS code (023 – 754).

Notes:

The analog SQL type can be set individually for the RX and TX channels.
When making REMOTE settings in the TX INHIBIT function, there are some combinations that cannot be set. (See the description of the TX INHIBIT function for details)

Power
Set the transmission power of the repeater connected to the Radio 1 terminal.

Reverse
Enables the transmit frequency offset.

Reverse (when checked): The uplink (RX CH) input frequency information equals the downlink (TX CH) output frequency minus the offset frequency. (Default – Offset)
Normal (not checked): The uplink (RX CH) input frequency information equals the downlink (TX CH) output frequency plus the offset frequency. (+ Offset)

When using a repeater, the portable terminal transceiver and transmission/reception are reversed. It is therefore necessary to use the reverse setting (transmission frequency offset reception setting). (Default setting)

Example 1

Uplink (RX CH) frequency = 434.700 MHz
Downlink (TX CH) frequency = 439.700 MHz
Reverse setting (Default setting) (- Offset)
Uplink (RX) = 434.700 MHz / Downlink (TX) = 439.700 MHz / Offset = -5.000 MHz
List output/search response info = 439.700 MHz – 5.000 MHz

Example 2

Uplink (RX CH) frequency = 439.700 MHz
Downlink (TX CH) frequency = 434.700 MHz
Normal setting (+ Offset)
Uplink (RX) = 439.700 MHz / Downlink (TX) = 434.700 MHz / Offset = +5.000 MHz
List output/search response info = 434.700 MHz + 5.000 MHz

Hide frequency settings
Hide transmission frequency data. If remove the check mark, operating data, such as frequency will be displayed in the ID list.

Note:
It is checked in the default setting.

Repeater
When connecting the HRI-200 and the DR-2X/XE Repeater, the Repeater settings may be entered with a PC and the WIRES-X software.

Preset Search CH
WIRES-X compatible digital (C4FM) transceivers are able to transmit search signals to locate WIRES-X Node stations. There are 2 ways of transmitting this search signal.

Manual Search Function
Directly transmitting search signals via the WIRES Node station Voice CH

Preset Search Function
Establishing a unique search frequency at which the portable terminal transmits search signals When WIRES Node stations detect search signals, it returns response signals on the CH at which it detected the original signal. Response signals contain Voice CH operating data (frequency, SQL function, offset data, etc.). Portable terminals use this information to adjust its setup to access the WIRES Node, entering WIRES-X access operation mode. Preset Search CH settings are for establishing this unique search frequency. The following parameters need to be set for operation.
