C4FM-JET — N6JET C4FM Fusion Gateway Hub

What is C4FM-JET?

C4FM-JET is a C4FM Fusion gateway reflector and a single access point for exploring YSF reflectors, FCS rooms, and YCS groups — all under one roof. Starting at YSF 95110, it is not a standard YSF reflector. It is a gateway hub, using DN mode DG-ID access to provide 99 predetermined C4FM destinations across YSF, FCS, and YCS networks.

C4FM-JET is the Fusion sibling of XLXJET, built on the same philosophy: one connection, 99 destinations, switch channels from your radio. The experience is more like channel switching between pre-programmed memory channels using just your radio with no computer interface required. Users switch DG-ID on their radio to move between destinations.

One connection. 99 rooms. Just turn the dial.

Fusion Reflector Types

C4FM-JET connects to three types of Fusion reflector systems:

YSF — Open-source, decentralized Fusion reflectors hosted by individual operators. Each YSF reflector is a single-room server. They are not connected to Wires-X and are accessed via hotspots or software like BlueDV.

FCS — Centralized Fusion reflector servers, each hosting up to 100 rooms. Originally created by the German DV4mini team. FCS rooms are accessed via hotspots using the FCS protocol.

YCS — The newest and most capable Fusion reflector system, developed by Kurt OE1KBC. YCS supports YSF, FCS, and IMRS protocols, allowing DR-2X repeaters to connect directly. YCS servers offer up to 100 DG-ID groups and can interlink with other YCS servers worldwide.

All three serve the same basic purpose — they connect Fusion users together over the internet. C4FM-JET handles all three so the user doesn't need to think about which system they're connecting to.

Getting On C4FM-JET

If you already operate on Yaesu System Fusion, you already know how to connect to a YSF reflector. C4FM-JET is just another YSF reflector to connect to. Once you're linked, every destination C4FM-JET reaches is one DG-ID change away.

DG-ID Channel Map

DG-ID 00 — Default / All-Call

DG-ID 00 is the default "all call" channel in the Fusion protocol. Any radio set to DG-ID 00 hears all traffic regardless of DG-ID, and transmissions on DG-ID 00 are heard by everyone.

Users who set a specific DG-ID (01–99) are isolated in their own room and do not hear DG-ID 00 traffic.

99ParrotEcho test

DG-ID 99 is the built-in echo test, also known as a parrot. When you transmit on DG-ID 99, the reflector records your transmission and immediately plays it back to you. This lets you check your audio quality and confirm that your connection to C4FM-JET is working without needing another operator on the other end.

DG-IDs marked with — do not currently have a C4FM connection but are reserved for future use as those networks add YSF support.

How It Works

  1. User's hotspot (Pi-Star/WPSD) connects to YSF 95110 on port 42002
  2. User sets their Fusion radio to DN mode and selects a DG-ID
  3. pYSFReflector receives the transmission
  4. libfich.so (compiled from G4KLX's YSFFICH code) decodes the FICH header and extracts the DG-ID
  5. The reflector routes the audio to other users on the same DG-ID
  6. DG-ID 00 = Default all-call channel (heard by all DG-IDs)
  7. DG-ID 01–99 = individual rooms, each linked to an external YSF/FCS/YCS destination

C4FM-JET is built entirely from open-source, GPL-licensed components.
