I had an interesting problem as a first-time user of the Yaesu Wires-X software along with the SCU-20 (from the SCU-40 kit) on an FTM-300DR. Whenever I tried to connect to certain rooms, I would get a "BUSY ERROR" on the radio display, or "Canceled call to Analog Node or Analog & Digital Room" if I connected from the software. This happened with a majority of rooms but not all. I started the radio holding the [DX] (Wires-X) button while powering on the radio. These instructions are found early on in the manual and starts the radio in PDN mode. Sounded good to me.
It wasn't until page 50 of the manual that I found I should be turning the radio on while holding both the [DX] and [GM] keys. Now the radio starts in WIRES-X NODE mode and pressing A/B puts it in Direct. I can only control the radio from the Wires-X software in this mode, but it's a start
