@AF0AJ For me, it was fun for about a day. Going to get a lot of hate but these voice modes are like VoIP with extra steps (and average sound quality).

Find a local repeater. You need one with WIRES-X for Yaesu. That's pretty rare. If you configure your call and sign up on their network, it should just work.

The more popular alternative is DMR mode and the BM network: https://hose.brandmeister.network/

You need a "hotspot" for it, which routes IP traffic into RF packets to your HT/rig (locally, qrp).
