Re: Yaesu & the crossband limitations?


 

Before you get too far into this, you may want to look at the FCC Regulations related to identification, and more importantly, remote control.

Subject: [repeater-builder] Yaesu & the crossband limitations?

I was thinking of experimenting with a remote receiver for the DR-2X
repeater. Initially I thought using a Yaesu mobile that crossbands for it would be good. I decided to try bench testing this concept with a ftm-500 I use as a mobile.

It seems doable but with limitations. The AMS works for the receiver
side of things fine. It's when it's transmitting what the receiver hears is a bit problematic. It only transmits in analog. Doesn't matter if it's a vfo or memory channel that's presetup to be digital. It spits it out in analog only. I can configure the DR-2X to spit it back out as digital only. Then you will lose other data like the users callsigns for example. Because that's all lost when things are transferred over via the analog link.

Is there a fix or mod for that anyone is aware of? Looks like the
only solution for now would be have another DR-2X as the remote receiver. That's a bit ridiculous cost wise.

If the repeater was analog only that wouldn't be a problem, but it's
run in AMS & uses Wires-X & YSF reflector bridge all digital.
