Live Wires-X

About Yaesu Wires-X

WIRES-X (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) is an Internet communication system that expands the range of amateur radio communication. It uses an amateur node station connected to the Internet as an access point, allowing users to communicate with other amateur stations worldwide. WIRES-X supports C4FM digital technology, providing high sound quality and clear voice communications even over long distances.

Docker container

This project is available as a Docker container for you to run in your shack. It will run on a Raspberry Pi (3b, 4 & 5) quite nicely:

docker run -d -p 80:80 --name live_wires_x --restart=always neonsunset/live_wires_x

You can run this on any port you would like just change the <port>:

docker run -d -p <port>:80 --name live_wires_x --restart=always neonsunset/live_wires_x

Why This Site?

I have used the WIRES-X ACTIVE NODE ID list on the yaesu.com website and while it is a good list that is up to date, the user experience is a little lacking, so this site has been put together.

Age of the data?

Yaesu publishes a list of Wires-X nodes every 20 minutes on their site. In an attempt to keep traffic to the Yaesu site to a minimum, we will cache the data and refresh it in line with the Yaesu approach.

This means that we will only be pulling the data 72 times a day. You will be able to see the age of the data in the navigation bar on the right-hand side.

To run this in a production environment please use the following command:
