6. Fusion of Analog FM and Digital
The new YAESU System Fusion is the future of Ham Radio Digital Systems; it provides total integration and compatibility of both Digital & Conventional Analog FM communications.
By using the revolutionary System Fusion, the user no longer needs to choose between Digital or Analog FM; instead we can:
Use whichever system is best suited for the situation
Communicate freely between Digital and Conventional FM stations

7. AMS (Automatic Mode Select) FM Friendly Digital Easy Migration
Co-existence

AMS
This function instantly recognizes whether the received signal is C4FM digital or analog FM. The communication mode automatically switches to match the received mode. Even if a digital signal is being used, you can switch to analog FM communication if radio signals are received from an analog FM station. This function enables stress-free operation by removing the need to manually switch the communication method each time.
FM Friendly Digital
Until now, FM repeaters were only used for conventional analog FM communication, and digital repeaters were only used for digital communication. There has been no option for cross-communication in a single repeater. However, System Fusion can be used in multiple ways, for digital communication, for analog FM communication and even internet communication. Most importantly, System Fusion enables intercommunication between all users.
This is enabled by the AMS (Automatic Mode Select) function used in System Fusion. With AMS, the modulation of your station is automatically selected according to the received signal. If a member transmits in analog conventional FM, the other radios in the System Fusion automatically select their modulation to analog conventional FM to communicate between all members.
Easy Migration
By simply replacing the current conventional analog repeater station with the DR-I
System Fusion AMS digital repeater, you can continue to use the conventional analog
FM communication, as well as using the repeater for digital communications. Because the DR-I is capable of converting and transmitting digital communication to analog FM communication, you can intercommunicate with members using either analog FM communication, or those using digital communication.** Previously, when a repeater group planned to use a digital system, all other members of the club using analog FM communication needed to purchase equipment capable of digital communication. With the groundbreaking YAESU DR-I repeater, digital communication and analog FM communication can join together in a single multiple function system. 7

8. Why C4FM Digital?
Compared to other Digital modulations within FDMA, C4FM has excellent communication quality (BER: Bit Error Rate characteristics).
Presently, C4FM is the most reliable standard method for professional communication devices in the commercial sector, and is expected to continue to be the main stream Digital Communication method in the future.

9. Multiple Modes of Communication
V/D mode Voice/Data simultaneous communication mode
Voice FR Mode - Voice Full Rate Mode
Data FR mode - High Speed 9600 bits per second data transfer
Analog FM mode – For Conventional Communication
V/D mode (Voice/Data simultaneous communication mode)
The digital voice signal is transmitted in one half of the bandwidth. Simultaneously the other half of the 12.5 kHz bandwidth channel is used for error correction of the voice signal and other data.
By incorporating powerful error correction technology developed for professional communication devices, effective error correction codes provide the advantage of fewer interruptions to conversations. The standard C4FM FDMA Digital mode provides the ideal balance of error correction and sound quality with the Digital Clear Voice technology developed for C4FM digital.
Voice FR mode (Voice Full Rate Mode)
This mode uses the full 12.5 kHz bandwidth to transmit digital voice data. The increased amount of voice data permits high quality voice communication, providing superb sound quality for a “rag chew” with friends.
Data FR mode (High Speed Data Communication Mode)
This high-speed data communication mode uses the full 12.5 kHz bandwidth for data communication. The transceiver automatically switches to Data FR mode when transmitting Snapshot pictures, and can be used to transmit large quantities of data at high speed.
Analog FM mode
Analog FM is effective when weak signal strength causes audio drop out in the digital mode, and enables communication up to the borderline of the noise level. Also the use of established Yaesu low power circuit designs provides far less battery consumption than the digital mode. 9

10. Digital Group Monitor (GM)
Automatically checks whether members registered to a group are within communications range of your transceiver. The group mode screen then displays information such as the Distance and Heading for each station registered to the group.

Digital GM Function (Digital Group Monitor Function)
The digital GM function automatically checks whether members registered to a group are within the communication range, and displays information such as the distance and orientation for each call sign on the screen. This useful function not only enables you to see which friends are within communication range, it also enables you to see at a glance where all group members are located.
Additionally, this function can be used to send data such as messages and images between group members. 10

11. Digital Image Transmission (Data Mode)
The MH-85A11U Camera microphone allows digital image transmission using the “Data” mode.
Snapshot Function (Image Data Transmission)
Simply connect an MH-85A11U (option) microphone with camera and press the microphone shutter button to take snapshots easily and send them to other C4FM FDMA digital transceivers. 11

12. Smart Navigation Function
Telemetry in Real-Time
In digital V/D mode, information such as position and call sign data are transmitted together with voice signals so the distance and direction to the other stations can be displayed in real-time while communicating with them.
Real-time navigation function enables location checking at any time
