Accessing C4FM/FSC Repeaters with Yaesu FT-70DR

[Anonymous]

I live a rural area and not in range of any C4FM/FSC/Wires-x or DMR repeaters or reflectors. I purchased a Yaesu FT-70DR and an OpenSpot2 hotspot that I want to use to acccess those repeaters/reflectors. I am having trouble configuring the radio to access Wires-x by pressing the F (function key) and the AMS (auto mode select key) per the radio manual. The radio just times out. The OpenSpot2 to be connected to the America Link. Below is info from the OpenSpot2 status window. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong.

Connected to:                           FCS002/090 (America-Link-WiresX)

I am having a similar issue with my FT 70D, only with the OpenSpot3.
