K5TAL TALARC Digital Voice Net
Jan 16, 2020
7pm CDT – 8pm CDT
Year 1, Week 28

NCS for this week’s digital voice net was Lee K5CUB operating a Yaesu FTM-100 DR through Wires-X. We are finding this platform an incredible opportunity to tell amateur radio operators about The American Legion, TALARC, SAL and Legion Riders.

W6SLG discussed the Wires-X bridge system used by OpenQuad.net and also other nets in operation to help the C4FM users to get “more out of the Yaesu Radios.” He also answered questions concerning the Wires-X configuration and use of the program.
