G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION
The VX-6R is a dual band heavy duty submersible transceiver with extensive receive
frequency coverage, providing local-area two-way amateur communications along with
unmatched monitoring capability.
The VX-6R ’s small size allows you to take it anywhere - hiking, skiing, or while walking
around town - and its operating flexibility brings the user many avenues of operating enjoy-
ment. Its 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 transceive operation, the VX-6R provides receive coverage of the AM (MF)
and FM broadcast bands, HF Shortwave Bands, VHF and UHF TV bands, the 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.
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 callsign and engage your rig’s
microphone, even if you are disabled and unable to press the PTT switch; Enhanced Pag-
ing 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 trans-
mit Time-Out Timer (TOT), Automatic Power-Off
(APO), Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), Yaesu’s
exclusive ARTS™ (Auto-Range Transponder Sys-
tem) 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.
We appreciate your purchase of the VX-6R , and
encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, so
as to learn about the many exciting features of your
exciting new Yaesu hand-held transceiver!
