Give Your Repeater Worldwide Coverage with WIRESTM­II Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System The Newest, Most Flexible Amateur Radio Internet Linking System! WIRESTM Outline ­II 1 WIRESTM­ll uses DTMF signaling to establish a bridge, using the Internet, from your repeater or home station to another WIRESTM ­ll-equipped station anywhere in the world. No proprietary tones or connection formats are used, so any manufacturer's radio (equipped with a DTMF encoding keypad) may be used to bring up the Internet link. 3The flexibility of the WIRESTM­ll concept allows you to configure the system to allow on-the-fly selection of linked or non-linked communications. Therefore, in fast-moving emergency communications situations where both local coordination and longer-distance reporting are required, WIRESTM ­ll allows local communications to be interspersed between linked transmissions. And because WIRESTM uses voice­ll recording technology as a buffer, WIRESTM calls ­ll will never interrupt a conversation in progress on a distant repeater. Internet "bridge" using home stations to establish link. 2 At the repeater site, a personal computer is connected to the HRI-100 WIRESTM Interface Box, ­ll which serves as a command and audio-patching controller for the Internet bridge to your computer. Either a dial-up connection, or a high-speed line such as a DSL or ISDN line, may be used for connecting to the Internet. ­ll provides two operating network WIRESTM concepts. Up to ten repeaters and/or home stations may join together to form a "Sister Radio Group" for closed-network operations, ideal for emergency, school, or sister-city groups. You can call any repeater within your SRG group using a single DTMF digit. And the host WIRESTM server also maintains a ­ll world-wide listing of repeaters operating in the "FRG" mode ("Friends' Radio Group"), any of whom you may call using a six-digit DTMF string to establish a link.

WIRESTM uses DTMF signaling to connect your hand-held or car transceiver, via the ­II HRI-100 Interface Box, to the Internet, and from there the sky really is the limit! WIRESTM Introduces Two Unique Networking Modes for Radio-Internet Linking: ­ll SRG is accomplished by the sending of a single DTMF digit at the beginning of the first transmission. A closed network of up to ten repeaters that have agreed to form a "Sister Radio Group" (SRG). Access to any other group station FRG and you might get a call from just about anywhere in the world the next time you're on the air during your morning commute!
