Maybe it’s the PC we run Wires-X on, maybe it’s Wires-X itself. Possibly it’s the auto-connect scheduler that runs in the background.
Either way, over recent weeks we’ve seen multiple hiccups in the way Wires-X performs (or rather doesn’t), specifically that it keeps crashing taking the PC with it. The scheduler is only installed to facilitate the connection to NWFG a couple of times a day. The logs also show, that while the repeater is connected to NWFG, there is little to no local activity on GB3OA
As a result, and in an effort to try and get to the bottom of the problem, the scheduler has been un-installed meaning that there will no longer be any automatic connections made.
So, we’re back to *very* basic operation! Wires-X of course remains enabled.

That’s a real shame. Enjoyed listening to the nets on NWFG
Hi
Is it possible to use the X button and change rooms ourselves? I tried this last xmas when I was visiting and couldn’t but I am hoping that has changed?
I would love to use the repeater when I visit my folks in Formby but i’d like to change rooms so I can talk to my buddies in the South East.
Hi Brett, yes, absolutely. The current set up allows any user to connect it to wherever they please. The time-out (no activity) is currently set to thirty minutes so it will automatically disconnect after that.
