Hi,
Complete Pi-star newbie here, so please excuse me if this is a silly question.
If I use my Yaesu FT2D to search Wires-X for CQ-UK, it returns 7 results. This is the same as a search on the following pistar web page...
https://www.pistar.uk/ysf_reflectors.php
However, if I search the following Yaesu Wires-X Rooms page, there is only one result returned!...
https://www.yaesu.com/jp/en/wires-x/id/active_room.php
Am I missing something? why does pistar show different results to the Yaesu site? Does pistar have several aliases for the same room?
Regards,

How many CQ-UK Rooms are there?
Re: How many CQ-UK Rooms are there?
The Yaesu site lists WiresX rooms, and the PiStar link lists YSF reflectors.
Just to clarify, YSF doesn't mean 'Yaesu System Fusion'. YSF is a similar, yet totally different system than WiresX. There are no YSF rooms nor are there any WiresX reflectors.
The Pi-Star will do YSF and happily connect to YSF reflectors, but the Pi-Star will not access WIresX rooms. Some YSF reflectors are bridged to be connected to WiresX rooms, but that depends on the reflector you are connecting to.
I am not familiar with the various CQ-UK YSF reflectors to tell know which, if any, is bridged to the CK-UK WiresX room, hopefully someone else can comment on that.

This might go to help

He runs multiple bridge servers to differing modes, link to various other networks, inc. analogue, zello, a multiple room ycs server. Hes all over the place. The link above might help you work it all out.
he also runs a fb group, where you might want to follow up.

Re: How many CQ-UK Rooms are there?
Hmmm. OK, thanks guys. Looks like I still have a very steep learning curve to climb. Each time I think I'm starting to understand, something comes along to dash my confidence.
I tried several of the pi-star CQ-UK YSF reflectors and they all 'seemed' to point to the same Wires-X CQ-UK 'Room'. Looks like I need to do more research.
Once again, many thanks for the replies.
