In 2016 it was 60 years of Sako Hasegawa JA1MP founding the company called Yaesu Musen Co. Ltd. The name YAESU is still one of the districts of Tokyo. The name is related to the Dutch adventurer Jan Joosten, who in the 17th century donated a house to the community of Edo (part of Tokyo today), which was named after him by the locals to Yayosu Quay, and it changed over time to YAESU. This is where Sako founded the company, and named it after. The word Musen means radio in Japanese. At the beginning they produced car radios built on valves, but later they repositioned to amateur radio.

The Motorola Solutions owned Japanese company is aiming to capitalise on increasing sales of its digital,analogue and PMR 446 products in Europe, as James Atkinson reports. Vertex Standard, the Japanese PMR manufacturer owned by Motorola Solutions,is looking to increase its presence in the EMEA region by creating a dedicated sales team and overhauling its reseller base.

In 2015 the Yaesu Corporation started a large scale campaign to promote the C4FM digital mode.  With a series of sales and marketing activities, they made available the digital hand-held and mobile radios, the DR1X repeaters, making up the backbone of the system,  and the HRI-200 computer adapters. In this article the connection of the repeaters, and the use of the HRI-200 adapter, will be described.

After we came to know the various digital modulation types, communication modes and protocols, and the most important features of the System Fusion system, let's have a closer look at the core of the system, the DR-1X repeater.
