Yaesu VX-6R Dual Band Handheld 2/70cm Amateur Radio Transceiver The standard memory has 900 channels with 6-digit alphanumeric tag and 24 memory banks for channel allocation.
The VX-6R packs loads of features and offers proven Yaesu performance into a compact package measuring just 2.3 (W) x 3.5 (H) x 1.1 (D) inches and weighing only 9.45 oz (with battery and antenna).
The volume and squelch knobs are oversized, for easy operation even when wearing gloves. There is even an optional submersible speaker mic. Other features include: black magnesium case, severe weather alert and multicolor transmit/receive LED.
New and exciting features of the VX-6R are the Emergency Automatic ID (EAI) function, that will automatically cause your VX-6R to transmit your call sign and engage your rig’s microphone, even if you are disabled and unable to press the PTT switch; Enhanced Paging and Code Squelch (EPCS), that allows you to page a particular station and only receive calls from that station if desired; and a security password feature, that will allow you to turn on and operate your transceiver only after you enter your password.
Additional features include a convenient access key for Vertex Standard’s WIRES™ (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System), a transmit time-out timer (TOT), automatic power-off (APO), automatic repeater shift (ARS), Yaesu’s exclusive ARTS™ (Auto-Range Transponder System) which “beeps” the user when you move out of communications range with another ARTS™ equipped station, plus provision for reduction of the TX deviation in areas of high channel congestion. And an RF squelch circuit allows the owner to set the squelch to open at a programmable setting of the S-Meter, thus reducing guesswork in setting the squelch threshold.
The incredibly compact FNB-80LI Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack provides up to 5 Watts of transmit power on 144 MHz and 430 MHz Amateur Bands. Besides 144 and 430 MHz transmit operation, the VX-6R provides receive coverage of the AM (MW) and FM broadcast bands, HF Shortwave Bands, VHF and UHF TV bands, VHF AM aircraft band and a wide range of commercial and public safety frequencies! Further more, the USA version enables 1.5 watts of transmitted power on the 222 MHz amateur band.
