50/144/430 MHz TRIPLE-BAND HEAVY DUTY FM TRANSCEIVER

VX-5R SERIES

Actual Size 5 W Version

50/144/430 MHz TRIPLE-BAND HEAVY DUTY FM TRANSCEIVER

VX-5R

SERIES

Triband Transmission.
Shortwave to Microwave Reception.
Tough Aluminum Diecast Construction.

The VX-5R's ruggedness and durability are assured
thanks to the die-cast aluminum housing, augmented
by an extensive gasketing system which sets a new
standard for water resistance among amateur HTs.
Tough enough to have passed the stringent shock
and vibration requirements of the U.S. military (MILSTD 810), the VX-5R also boasts such signature Yaesu
features as loud, crisp receiver audio, a large
easy-to-read LCD display, and straightforward operation.
The VX-5R is the unquestioned leader in HT
technology for the new Millennium!
Perfect for outdoor recreational use, the VX-5R’s circuitry is enclosed in
a tough aluminum diecast case/chassis, which provides long life for the
components due to the exceptional heat-dissipation characteristics of
the enclosure. The VX-5R is Yaesu’s toughest handie ever!

The optional SU-1 module provides both barometric
pressure and altitude measuring capability, perfect for
recreational use while hiking.
The VX-5R may even be programmed to monitor pressure
and temperature or temperature and altitude while it is
turned off!

Yaesu has again broken through the sizeperformance barrier with the introduction of the
VX-5R. Despite its extraordinarily small size, the
VX-5R provides 5 Watts of power output on the
50 MHz and 144 MHz band, and 4.5 Watts on the
430 MHz band. What’s more, the VX-5R brings
ease of operation via its full-function keypad. So
when you need the compact size of a milliwattpower handie, but the power and performance of a
full-size unit, the VX-5R brings you both!

the VX-5R is automatically preset for each
operating band, with easy manual mode change
provided via the Menu System.

The VX-5R’s memory system provides 220
regular memories, a "Home" channel on each
band, 10 pairs of "Band Limit" memories for the
Programmable Memory Scan feature, and five
Memory Groups (up to 24 channels from the
"main" memory band can be stored into each
Memory Group).
Use the alpha-numeric labels for quick and easy
recognition of memory channels as you recall them.

*Cellular/digital telephone frequencies are blocked. Frequency coverage
may vary in different countries, due to local regulations.

The outstanding power output of the VX-5R is made
possible by the standard FNB-58LI Lithium-Ion
Battery Pack, which supplies 7.2 Volts at an
incredible 1100 mAh. Depending on the power
output selected and your operating patterns,
operating times of 6 to 12 hours are now possible
without re-charging. And the supplied NC-72 AC
Adapter provides charging of the FNB-58LI in five
hours or less.

The VX-5R’s microprocessor includes several
important battery-saving features which may be
enabled by the operator. These include:
Receive Battery Saver, which puts the transceiver
into a "sleep" mode, while checking the receive
frequency periodically (0.2/0.3/0.5/1/2 seconds) for
"activity".
Transmit Battery Saver, which reduces power
output automatically based on the incoming
station’s signal strength.
Automatic Power Off (APO) feature, which will
turn the VX-5R off after a programmable interval of
non-use (0.5/1/3/5/8 hours).
Four Transmit Power Levels, including a 300 mW
setting for local work.
Busy Lamp Off feature allows the operator to
disable to "Busy Channel" lamp, thus further
conserving battery life.
The VX-5R’s display
includes a convenient
battery monitoring system
which shows both transmit
and receive usage and a
"Low Battery" indicator.

FM and TV broadcast reception utilize a special
"FM-Wide" mode, which provides excellent fidelity!
The three-section Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
provides (A) frequency and mode information,
(B) Alpha Tag or sub-VFO frequency display, and
(C) signal strength and power output indication. The
LCD includes a handy "Icon" mode, in which functions’
labels are replaced by pictographic icons for ease
of operation. And the
characters used for the
S/PO meter can be changed,
for easiest viewing by you.

The VX-5R’s Dual Watch feature lets you monitor
a main operating frequency while periodically
checking a second frequency for activity. If a
station appears on the "Dual Watch" frequency, the
VX-5R will lock onto that frequency so that you
can respond to the calling station.
The VX-5R’s Spectra-Scope TM provides a
graphical display of five channels above and below
your current operating
frequency, to help you
find or avoid busy
channels.

The ARTS TM feature provides an audible
confirmation of "in-range" or "out-of-range"
status with other ARTS TM-equipped stations.
When activated, ARTSTM sends out a periodic
transponder signal (including DCS code) so that
you and the other station will know if you have
slipped beyond communication range (so you will
know you need to move to a better location).
ARTSTM will also send a CW identification of your
callsign, if desired.

Wide-band VHF/UHF receiver coverage is
combined with AM Medium-Wave and
Shortwave reception, for more operating
enjoyment than ever. Use the Shortwave coverage
(to 16 MHz) to listen to overseas broadcasts, along
with time, weather, and propagation forecast
information from WWV. The operating mode of

When traveling to a city for the first time, loading
of memories can be time-consuming. With the
VX-5R, just use the Smart SearchTM feature,
which automatically scans above and below your
current frequency, loading busy channels into the
31 available Smart SearchTM memories. The VX-5R
can be instructed to make either (1) a single sweep
above and below your frequency, or (2) a
continuous sweep, which ends only when all 31
Smart SearchTM memories are full.
The VX-5R includes a wide variety of tone encoding
and decoding systems for today’s active Ham!
A 39-tone subaudible CTCSS encoder/decoder for
easy repeater access and/or silent monitoring.
A 104 Digital Coded Squelch (DCS) for advanced
repeater systems or simplex operations where
maximum immunity from "falsing" is required.
A Menu-driven 1750-Hz Tone Burst system for
repeater access.
A Bell Alarm to alert the operator that a call is being
received.
Tone search, in both the CTCSS and DCS modes, for
emergency situations where you need to know the tone
or code required for access to an unfamiliar repeater.
A 16-digit DTMF Autodialer with nine memories, for
autopatch use.
The VX-5R provides flexible scanning, including
scan-halt options of "Carrier Drop," "5-second
Pause," and "Stop" (no resumption of scanning).
The VX-5R may be instructed to scan the VFOs,
the Memories, or a portion of the VFO range,
and the LCD’s illumination can be programmed
to light up when scanning halts.

The 144/430 MHz capability of the VX-5R is
ideal for portable satellite operation on FM
satellites like AO-27 (TX 145.8 MHz/RX 436.8
MHz). The compact size of the VX-5R leaves
you with one hand free to hold a small beam
antenna, if you like!

bottom section of the supplied antenna. For
operation on 50 MHz, simply screw on the
antenna extension element and you're
ready for DX action!
