N9UPC explains that Yaesu has made 2024 a year of education for amateur operators—a mission near and dear to the hearts of the hams at DX Engineering. N9UPC and other members of the Yaesu team have been fixtures at hamfests and club meetings, answering questions and helping amateurs get the most out of the company’s popular transceivers, including the FT-710 AESS HF/50 MHz Base/Portable Transceiver (below) and FTDX10 HF/50 MHz 100W SDR Transceiver.

“We’ve been getting out there, and, man, we have had a blast,” N9UPC said. “And I tell you it’s not so much talking about our products, but it was so interesting for us at Yaesu to see the many different ways that people are using our products beyond what we even had our products designed for.”

N9UPC also discusses the convenience of Yaesu’s WIRES-X HRI-200 High Performance Digital and Analog Internet Linking Interface (below).

The device provides Internet-to-RF communications that expand the range of Yaesu VHF/UHF C4FM amateur radios using internet-enabled Voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology. With WIRES-X, an amateur radio node station connected to the Internet and interfaced to the WIRES-X HRI-200 unit can communicate using VoIP over long distances reliably and with ease.
