YAESU hat neue Firmwares zu den folgenden Geräten auf www.yaesu.com veröffentlicht:

• YAESU FT2
• YAESU FTM-100
• YAESU FTM-400

Somit ist es ab sofort möglich mit diesen Geräten direkt via PC im WIRES-X Netz teilzunehmen.
Neu müssen auch keine Ports mehr freigegeben werden.
Sobald Internet, ein PC und ein obenstehendes Gerät vorhanden ist, kann man z.B. auf unser Relais Lehn eine Verbindung herstellen.

Auf dem YouTube-Kanal von YAESU USA sind einige Infos vorhanden, wie z.B. eine Schritt für Schritt Updateanleitung zum FT2.
Auf der Webseite www.c4fm-schweiz.ch sind viele nützliche Informationen über C4FM und WIRES-X aufgeschaltet.

Gleichzeitig habe ich eine Statusseite über unser WIRES-X erstellt.
Dort ist ersichtlich, wo unser Relais zur Zeit verbunden ist und wer zuletzt gehört wurde.
Dieser Link ist auch auf unserer Webseite unter der Rubrik Technik (Statusseite WIRES-X Verbindungen) aufgeschaltet.

Viel Spass beim Ausprobieren

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, JAXA, and CSA. The US Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provide ARISS special support.
ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters‘ interest in science, technology, and learning.
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.
