Modes of Operation:

The K6SAC repeater can be used with traditional Analog FM signals or Yaesu Digital Sytem Fusion signals. It is able to operate in either mode through the use of Automatic Mode Select (AMS), which enables it to recognize and retransmit whichever type of signal it hears. When operating in the digital System Fusion mode the repeater is configured for Voice Wide (VW) which prioritizes voice quality by using the entire 12.5 KHz bandwidth for digital voice rather than using half of it to transmit data. 

Linking: 

The K6SAC repeater is capable of being linked via the internet to repeaters, conference rooms, hubs, phones and nodes using Voice Over IP (VOIP). The repeater establishes these links using two distinctly different protocols and networks. One is the analog AllStar network and the other is Yaesu's digital voice Wires-X network. For illustrative purposes picture these networks as two seperate spider webs, each connecting various devices to one another. These webs are seperate from one another, and the K6SAC repeater like most other repeaters cannot connect to both networks at the same time. Note however using additional advanced techniques hams have developed ways to create bridges between these networks/webs. The K6SAC repeater has a different identifyer on each network.

AllStar Hub: 68377

Wires-X Node: To be determined (coming soon)

* Side Note: Yaesu uses multiple terms to describe the various parts to its digital communication system, and this can be confusing. System Fusion refers to their proprietary digital mode and encoding methodology used in the digital signals of their radios, which is based off the open source mode C4FM. Wires-X refers to Yaesu's internet linked voice over IP (VOIP) network which connects repeaters, nodes, and rooms globally.
