Fusion
Fusion, also known as System Fusion, is a digital communication mode developed by Yaesu for amateur radio. Fusion combines both digital and analog capabilities, allowing for flexible communication options.
It is particularly popular among operators who want the best of both worlds: the clarity of digital voice and the compatibility with traditional analog systems.
Fusion can be used for both local repeater communication and long-distance linking via the internet.
