Foibles of Fusion

So far, mostly so good. The Yaesu Fusion HRI-200 WiRES X interface is connected up to the FTM100DE and is working as intended ... in digital mode. Not so good in analogue mode though.

I'm having issues with the analogue audio being received by other stations. It's either absent, or very low. Perhaps it's a simple sound card setting on the computer, but I'm stumped. I've posted on the Yahoo! WiRES X Group (WiRES X Yahoo! Group), hopefully it's a problem someone else has already dealt with.

On the digital side of things, it's working a treat. The UK nodes are pretty quiet, the two localish Fusion repeaters (GB7FC & GB7RY) are not responding to any calls put through them, however, this might have something to do with my analogue audio issues, as both repeaters are listed as being in 'Analogue' mode at the moment. Not sure why, I thought they were in dual mode operation. There are Gazzilions of Japanese users. One group had 134 connected nodes. Shame I don't speak Japanese. The Americans are making a good showing, with an '--America-Link--' room that regularly has 40 nodes connected, some in Digital, some in Analogue, all in English. ;)
