So I got myself a Yaesu FT-2980 (R? evidently is what the manual says but not what is printed on the radio) and it has the WiRES-X button. The manual shows how to set it up and I have quite a few good working Fusion repeaters near me that I can get into no problem. They all carry just one room and I have the number to it. Evidently, its not as easy as 1,2,3 and hitting the WiRES-X button and talking. Maybe I am not able to do Fusion? I do not understand it at all. I have watched several videos and read several things on it but it doesnt show that WiRES-X even works to join digital Fusion rooms. I get a bit of a laugh out of it because I instantly figured out DMR as soon as I sat down to program my first radio, knowing about as much as I do about Fusion as I did DMR. Fusion makes no sense to me, DMR I get. Anyone know anything about the Yaesu FT-2980? Its a really good working solid radio. I really like it. I would like to make full use of it though.
