- To utilize the Personal Data Node (PDN) function of your FT2dr or FT3dr you must have the Wires-X software installed on your computer and have received a personal node number from Yaesu’s Wires-X Registration site.
- Connect the HT to your computer with the SCU-19 cable. The appropriate drivers for the cable can be downloaded from the Yaesu website.
- Activate Wires-X: Turn FT2DR of FT3DR off.
- Enter PDN mode by holding the “BAND” and “X” button while pushing the power button. This will bring you into the PDN mode. (NOTE: in order to exit the mode, the user must turn off the radio, the turn it back on while again again holding the “BAND” and “X” buttons while pressing the power button.)
- Open the Wires-X software on your computer. Once in the Wires-X software, press the “X” on your 2dr/3dr and it will connect you automatically to a room (most likely your last Wires-X room you connected to when you were using a repeater).
- Go to the top of the Wires-X page on your computer and press on the “Connect(C)” label. It will drop down a selection of “Connect To(T)”. Select the “Connect To(T)” and a window will pop up where you will enter the JARA Room number. Type in the number 46775 and hit “ok” and it will connect you to the JARA Room and the Leavenworth (WØROO) repeater. Your 2dr/3dr should show that you are connected to Leavenworth repeater. (NOTE: The PDN will disconnect you after 10 minutes as a default setting in your Wires-X software. The user must go up to (File, Settings, General Settings) to change the Time Out Timer (TOT) to a longer time.)
