I have linked to the source pages I used as starting points at the bottom of this entry. I don’t claim to have written any of the scripts or packages used in this guide, I’m just putting everything together in one place in hopefully easy to follow steps. I just wanted to share a detailed solution to something which gave me a lot of frustration. I’ve barely touched Fusion and I have a lot to learn. It was so frustrating that once I’d got one working, I decided to put together what I hoped would be a decent and easily followable guide. I had a good reason to do that last week and I couldn’t find a complete (and accurate) guide to doing it. I’m assuming you’re here because you want to set up a reflector. In fact, I would say that the audio on Fusion is by far the best out of any of the digital modes.įusion is just as complicated as the other modes to a newcomer but I’m not going to go into that here. I plugged an external speaker in and it’s so much better. The first thing I’ll say is that the speaker in the FTM-100DE is rubbish! It’s tinny and the audio out of it is dreadful. There are no Fusion repeaters nearby so I set up a cheap hotspot to allow me to access the network. A few weeks ago I bought myself a Yaesu FTM-100DE and it’s sitting in my shack now. That left one digital voice mode that I’ve not yet tried Yaesu System Fusion, often abbreviated to just Fusion or YSF. I don’t particularly like to use them to work ‘DX’ but they both have their advantages regarding linking repeaters together and allowing me to keep in touch with people when I’m away from home.īoth have a relatively steep learning curve but over time, I’ve got my head around them and am quite happy configuring radios, building ‘code plugs’ (*shudder*) and operating them. Over the last four or five years I’ve been a regular user of two digital voice modes, D-STAR and DMR. I have provided a new version of install.sh, if you have had problems with a ysfreflector.ini error, please start the install again from the first ‘sudo wget’ command.
