Connecting to Wires X with Yaesu SCU-57 - Step by Step!

[@DrewCommins]

This is probably the best explanation of setting up the FT5D for Wires-X that I've found. Thank you!

[@rayb228]

Well done, a somewhat complex system entry explained in a step by step manner and well presented. Thank You.

Hi Mark. What an excellent easy to follow explanation. More of this type of content is always welcome. Very many thanks. Steve

[@paulmark63]

Mark I thought your presentation was clear and easy to follow a star in the making well done Paul

[@DanielFitzgeraldPiano]

Thank you so much for this Mark! You are a such a stellar individual.

[@KK7PZA]

Awesome presentation! Yaesu should pay you to explain all of their technology. Thank you.

Hi Christopher, many thanks for your kind words, very much appreciated.

[@rayerdinc2441]

Nice video Mark, thank you. I could follow this, so much so, will be ordering the SCU kit! 👍

[@jeffreywyke368]

VERY clear and understandable!! Thank you! I have subscribed!

The 'missing' analogue audio is really useful for mixed Digital and Analogue Rooms, such as America Link. Those UDP ports are NOT required if you are wiring a radio directly in to a PC without an HRI-200.

Thank you for helping me to set SCU-57....73s!

Mark, I must congratulate you on your explanations - it's not for me - but very interesting - well done Dave g3rcq

Are you not supposed to start the FT5D up in PDN mode by pressing the X + BAND buttons while switching on the handheld? And then after everything in on, connected and software up, a quick press of the Wires-X button on the radio in order for radio to handshake with the software? This is how my FT3D works.

[@dasnegotiator]

I can get all that to work except mine only says local when I attempt to transmit. I can receive audio, but it only says local when I key up. I have been trying to remedy this for two weeks. All my drivers are installed. Everything looks identical to what you have on screen. Has anybody else had this issue? It has to be some weird setting or something. Thanks.

[@daniellitalien4514]

I have the same problem. Don't Know what to do!

[@Bruno-ve8is]

same problem. I tried everything with no success. I can hear the various chatroom but if I try to speak nobody can hear me. Red led when I press the PTT button is working but nothing is happening. Really disppointing. Cable kit is not cheap. better to buy an hot spot.....

[@55ting55]

At the 2:45 minute mark, Are you saying we can connect HRI200 to a FT5?

[@daprof]

I have followed all the instructions and I get the proverbial "canceled call in PDN standby"?

[@riaanzs1zarconradie291]

Hi, you need to quick press the Wires X button to "handshake" with the software. After that you will see your radio screen changes and then you can connect to a room. This is how my FT3D works

[@taylor7668US]

Can this be done with the ft1dx fusion handheld

[@DaleHok]

does this work with a Mac? Great video!

[@AnthonyM1]

If Yaesu would ever send the room and node I would be up and running.......FT5D and waiting.....uggggg

[@alanrobnett336]

If I hear the expression "IT'S NOT REAL RADIO" once more I'll scream every amateur has the right to use whatever legal mode they like stop being so snobby surely we'd had enough of that between some G3s and class B licence holders It's a hobby for goodness sake

[@markfairweather207]

During the registration with Yaesu you are required to provide the Radio ID on the registration webform, you don’t mention this and Yaesu cannot register your radio. Your suggestion is that you obtain the radio ID post registration and this is incorrect.
