  • Fix your Yaesu WIRES (WIRES, such as available on the FT-60, not Wires-X, like Fusion) problem without making permanent changes. Most non-fusion Yaesu radios will transmit DTMF tones that cut you out of repeaters for a few seconds.

  • Hams must have towers! - some information that affects local hams wishing to install towers; please contribute local information sources.
