I don't want to require their camera to send pics. I want do be able to connect my computer and send info. This would be super useful for emergency data xfer, keyboard-to-keyboard messaging, sending higher rez pics, spreadsheets of required supplies, etc ... More importantly, it would be FUN to use for all the rest of the time the world isn't ending, haha. If we had access to send data with the digital wide mode, we'd have twice the transfer rate of D-STAR Fast-Data mode (not counting their 23cm systems that can do 128kbps with 300khz BW). Fusion has an opportunity here. I hope we get some patches / updates to be able to do more with it.
If Yaesu did a form of Wires-X "end user" licencing, they could generate a lot of $ revenue, far more than the "one off" revenue from the sales of HRI-200's
$125 for hri200, and $200 for an ftm7250d(better to handle the heat of alot of use). That's only $100 more than just the open spot 2....and you'd have a much higher power simplex repeater. A virtual hero in your neighborhood, and beyond...at least out 15 miles, or so. Oh, yeah....and registered on wires-x.
You mean Wires-X network? No. No device currently supports Wires-X unless you buy Yaesu's HRI200.. Which in my opinion is hurting Yaesu. They wont let the secret out. So once someone figures out a way to develop a hotspot that does Wires-X, I think more people will use Fusion gear. However, Yaesu says if they detect someone going into Wires-x with a hotspot, they automatically ban you, and have done this many times to people trying.
Really enjoy this site, always ahead of the game, U.K.operator & subscriber.

I'd like to play around with C4FM and Wires-X, but 400 bucks for another radio is too steep for me right now. looks fun though!
The FT-70 is around $139 and FT-2DR is just under $300 since last year.

Where did you purchase the hotspot?
Openspot, Nano spot, zumspot.... which one do i get so I can easily use my digital handhelds to use on DMR,DSTAR,C4FM?
Key word is easy????
Through my research it looks like OpenSpot is the easiest. No setup required. Complete plug and play. The others require substantial computer setup.
Am still not understanding why this is useful?
Does this actually connect to the actual fusion network? I remember trying this with a raspberry pi but they were “virtual” reflectors...

Can i do this on the 400.
I'm sorry it yaesu right to keep what is there's
