The Fusion repeater is on 442.7375 with a standard +5 MHz offset. It is set up for digital only, so a person needs a Yaesu Fusion capable radio to use it. The digital ID's are 00/00, so nothing special is required to access it. Right now, it is local only. Hopefully, we will soon have an internet connection and WIRES-X set up at the repeater site allowing full time access to WIRES-X Rooms.
