INTERNET CONNECTION FEATURE (WIRESTM)

The FTM-10Rcan be used to access a “node” (repeater or base station), which is tied into the Vertex Standard WiRESTM (Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) network. 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.

		SRG (“SISTER RADIO GROUP”) MODE
1.	Press and hold the [VOL/SEL] key for one second to activate the Menu mode.
2.	Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu Item “F48 WIRES”.
3.	Press the		key to enable selection of this Menu Item.
4.	Rotate the DIAL knob until “CODE” appears on the display.
	This activates WiRESTM in SRG mode. The “ ” icon will

DIAL knob while to select the access number (“CODE 0” ~ “CODE 9,” “CODE A,” “CODE B,” “CODE C,” “CODE D,” “CODE E (*),” “CODE F (#))” corresponding to the WiRESTM node to which you wish to establish the WiRESTM connec- tion. (ask the node or repeater owner/operator if you don’t know the access number in the network).

7.With the Internet Connection feature activated (as in step 4 above), the FTM-10Rwill generate a brief (0.1 second) DTMF tone according to your selection in step 5. This DTMF tone is sent at the beginning of every transmission to establish or maintain the link to the local WiRESTM node operating in the SRG mode.

8.To return to the FRG mode, repeat steps 1 - 4 above, selecting “MEM” in step 4, then press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

9.To disable the Internet Connection feature, just repeat the above procedure, rotating the DIAL knob to select “OFF” in step 4 above, then press the [VOL/SEL] key to save the new setting and exit to normal operation (the “” icon will disappear from the display).

Note: 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.
