HF DX'ing is my passion....

Favorite daytime bands... 20 meters thru 10 meters.

Night time band 40 meters (especially 40 meters!) and higher if those bands are open.

75 meters is no longer that interesting to me. Once was, 20+ years ago, but not now. It's now turned into mostly a sh****le, (worse than it was 20+ yrs ago) with nothing of value too me. If I do get on 75 meters, it's strictly in the Extra section, where there is still some sanity left. But that seems to be dwindling away as well.

160 meters is interesting during the winter months.

VHF/UHF (especially repeaters) have little interest too me, however I did configure my OpenSpot and Yaesu FTM-300D for C4FM (Yaesu) and have began monitoring the YSF-31678 reflector. Totally different crowd on digital, than on analog.

What is System Fusion?

System Fusion is Yaesu’s implementation of Digital Amateur Radio, utilizing C4FM 4-level FSK Technology to transmit digital voice and data over the Amateur radio bands. In the early 2000’s GMSK emerged in the Amateur radio market as the dominant digital mode, however in 2013 Yaesu introduced “System Fusion” which quickly became the dominating digital format in Amateur radio because of quality, reliability and enhanced performance in a wide range of environments.

Digital Communication modes have gained popularity over the years in the market because of superior performance in environments with interference, noise and other contributing factors that degrade the quality of a standard FM Analog signal. Narrower bandwidth and the need for increased spectrum have led to the development of digital communications technology, which has been widely adopted in the Public safety and private business sectors that use two-way radio technology. Unlike it’s commercial counterpart, System Fusion is an Amateur Friendly Digital Operating mode, straying away from some of the design considerations that make commercial solutions less appealing and more difficult for Amateur Radio Operators, providing a simpler interface and features that meet the demands and needs of the Amateur enthusiast specifically. Below you will find more information on this marvelous new technology, and how it can meet every operators demand and needs for a clear and simple Digital Experience.
