Vertex Standard FT-60R I NTERNET C ONNECTION F

The FT-60R 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) net-

work, 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

Connection 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-60R 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/W] key, then press the [0( )SET] key to enter the Set mode.

B. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 17: DT WRT.

C. Press the [F/W] key to enable adjustment of this Set Mode

Item.

D. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the DTMF Memory register

into which you wish to store the access code.

E. Press the [F/W] 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/W] key momentarily to accept the first digit

and move to the second digit of the DTMF string.
