Precautions
Battery Installation and Removal
r This apparatus is capable of two-way communication on channels used for critical aviation safety
communications. Therefore, it is important that
this radio be kept away from children or other
unauthorized users at all times.
r When making DC connections via the (optional)
E-DC-5B DC cable, be absolutely certain to
observe the proper voltage level and polarity
guidelines. Do not connect this radio directly to
any 24 ~ 28 Volt DC source, nor to AC power of
any kind. Connecting the VXA-200 directly to a
source which exceeds 15.0 Volts DC will result
in damage to the unit.
r Do not dispose of the Ni-Cd Battery Pack in a
fire. Do not carry a Ni-Cd Battery Pack in your
pocket, where keys or coins could short the terminals. This could create a serious fire/burn danger, and possibly cause damage to the Ni-Cd
pack.
r Although the VXA-200 is designed to be water
resistant, the enclosure is not “waterproof.” Do
not allow the radio to become submersed in water, and do not expose it and/or its Ni-Cd Battery
Pack to water spray under pressure.
¦ To install the battery, hold the transceiver with
your left hand, so your palm is over the speaker
and your thumb is on the top of the Belt Clip.
Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment on the back of the radio while tilting the
Belt Clip outward, then close the Battery Pack
Latch until it locks in place with a “Click.”
¦ To remove the battery, turn the radio off and remove any protective cases. Open the Battery Pack
Latch on the bottom of the radio, then slide the
battery downward and out from the radio while
unfolding the Belt Clip.
Do not attempt to open any of the rechargeable Ni-Cd packs, as personal injury or damage to the Ni-Cd pack could occur if a cell or cells
become accidentally short-circuited.
VXA-200 AVIATOR PILOT II OPERATING M ANUAL
BEFORE Y OU BEGIN
Battery Charging
It is necessary to fully charge the Ni-Cd battery before its first use. Follow these procedures:
¦ Install the supplied FNB-64 Ni-Cd battery pack
onto the transceiver. Ensure that the transceiver
is switched off.
¦ Plug the NC-77 into the AC line outlet.
¦ Insert the battery pack into the NC-77; the antenna jack should be at the left side when viewing the charger from the front.
¦ If the battery pack is inserted correctly, the RED
indicator will glow. A fully-discharged pack will
be charged completely in 15 hours.
Important Notes:
r The NC-77 is not designed to power the transceiver for operation (reception or transmission).
r Do not leave the charger connected to the transceiver for continuous periods in excess of 24
hours. Long term overcharging can degrade the
Ni-Cd battery pack and significantly shorten its
useful life.
r If using a charger other than the NC-77, or if
using a battery pack other than the FNB-64, follow the appropriate instructions provided with
10
the charger/battery. Contact your Dealer if you
have any doubts about the appropriateness of the
particular charger or battery pack you intend to
use.

VXA-200 AVIATOR PILOT II OPERATING M ANUAL
BEFORE Y OU BEGIN
Low Battery Indication
¦ As your battery discharges during use, the voltage will gradually become lower. When the battery voltage reaches 6.0 Volts, the “ x ” icon
will blink on the LCD display, indicating that
the battery pack must be recharged before further use.
¦ Avoid recharging Ni-Cd batteries before the
“Low Battery” indicator is observed, as this can
degrade the charge capacity of your Ni-Cd battery pack. Yaesu recommends that you carry an
extra, fully-charged pack with you so you will
not lose communications capability due to a depleted Ni-Cd battery.
This “deep cycling” practice will help to maintain longer overall battery life after many recharging cycles.
Installing the FBA-25 (option) Alkaline
Battery Case
The optional FBA-25 Battery Case allows operation of the VXA-200 using six “AA” size Alkaline
batteries.
When installing batteries, insert the (–) end first, then
press in the (+ ) end so the battery snaps into place.
Always replace all six batteries at the same time, paying attention to the polarity indicated inside the case.
The FBA-25 must not be used with rechargeable cells. The FBA-25 does not contain the thermal and over-current protection circuits (provided in the “FNB” series of Ni-Cd Battery Packs) required when utilizing Ni-Cd cells.

Tuning Methods
Throughout this manual, you will see references to
several different frequency setting methods. Each will
be particularly useful in a particular operating situation, and they are described below:
¦ VFO (Variable Frequency Oscillator)
The VFO is a “tuning
dial” system which allows you to tune through
the N A V or C O M bands
in 25-kHz steps using the CHANNEL selector,
the Keypad, or the scanner.
¦ MR (Memory Recall)
The MR (Memory Recall) mode of the VXA200 provides the user
with the ability to store
and recall as many as 50 channels in the radio’s
main memory bank. These memory channels may
also be labeled by you with an alpha/numeric
name of up to 8 characters in length, to aid in
quick identification of the channel. See page 20
for details on creating alpha/numeric labels.
¦ BOOK (Pre-Programmed) Memories
The Book memories are
pre-programmed, either at
the factory or by your
Dealer (depending on
your country’s requirements), typically including
the major C O M and N A V band station frequencies used in your area. The Book memories can
be changed by the user. See page 27 for details.
¦ WX (Weather Channel) Memories
(USA version only)
Ten Weather Channels
are pre-programmed at
the factory as appropriate
for your country, and the VXA-200 will automatically scan this special bank when it is selected by the user.

Receive Battery Saver Setup
An important feature of the VXA-200 is its Receive
Battery Saver, which “puts the radio to sleep” for a
time interval, periodically “waking it up” to check
for activity. If somebody is talking on the channel,
the VXA-200 will remain in the “active” mode, then
resume its “sleep” cycles. This feature significantly
reduces quiescent battery drain, and you may change
the amount of “sleep” time between activity checks
using the Menu System:
øABS: Automatic Battery Saver, based on activity
on the receiver.
The setting of 1:5 will promote the greatest conservation of battery capacity, but the receiver’s response
time to incoming calls will be slowed somewhat.
Note: This feature does not operate during Scan or
Dual Watch.
r Press the [F] key, then press the CHANNEL selector knob to activate the Menu (“SET”) mode.
r Rotate the CHANNEL selector knob to select

OPERATION
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE/ALTITUDE METERING
The VXA-200’s key/button beeper provides convenient audible feedback whenever a button is pressed.
Each key and button has a different beep pitch, and
each function has a unique beep combination.
The optional Barometric Pressure Unit (SU-1) brings
to the VXA-200 the unique capability of providing
readout of the current barometric pressure. This information is the used for calculation of your current altitude, and also used for calculation of your
current density Altitude using with the temperature
sensor.
Beep On/Off
When you are scanning, the beeper will be heard each
time the scanner halts on a busy channel. This may
be distracting in some environments; if you want to
turn the beeper off (or back on again):
r Press [F] à [8 (BEEP)]; “ BEEP on” will appear on the LCD.
r Rotate the CHANNEL selector knob
one click to change
the display to
“ BEEP oFF.”
r Press the [8 (BEEP)]
key again to save your new setting and exit to
normal operation.
The Barometric Pressure unit and temperature sensor requires calibration of the “offset” parameters,
so that differences in pressure can be used to calculate altitude. This procedure requires that you have a
calibrated barometer, calibrated thermometer, and
that you know your current altitude. If you are at sea
level, of course, the latter parameter requires no research.

SCANNING OPERATION
The VXA-200 allows you to scan automatically in
the VFO ø1, Main Memory, “Book” Memory, or
Weather Channelø2 modes. It pauses on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that
frequency, if you like.
ø1: In the VFO mode, the automatic scanner is only
available in the C O M band (118.000 - 136.975
MHz); when the scanner reaches the uppermost frequency in the C O M band, it will revert to the bottom end of the C O M band and repeat the scanning
process until you cancel the scanning process.
ø2: USA version only.
If you wish to scan in the N A V band (108.000 117.975 MHz), you can do so manually, as described
at the right.
Scanning operation is basically the same in each of
the above modes.
r Press the [SCAN (DW)] key momentarily to start
the automatic scanner upward (toward a higher
frequency or a higher channel number).
r When the scanner encounters a signal, scanning
pauses and the radio remains on that channel until
one second after the signal disappears, after
which scanning will resume.
r While the scanner remains paused on a frequency,
the decimal point of the frequency display blinks.
The display will be illuminated unless the Scan
Lamp Feature is turned off.
r To change the scan direction, turn the CHANNEL selector knob one click in the opposite direction.
r To stop the automatic scanner, press the PTT switch
or the CHANNEL selector knob momentarily. You
may also press [SCAN (DW)] key again.
The VXA-200’s automatic scanner is not operational
in the N A V band (108.000 - 117.975 MHz), because
the N A V stations (ILS, etc.) transmit constantly
(thereby causing the scanner to stop repeatedly).
However, you can scan manually in the N A V band,
per the following procedure:
r Press and hold the [SCAN (DW)] key to start
the manual scanner. Scanning will continue as
long as the key is depressed.
r Release the [ SCAN ( DW)] key to stop the
manual scanner immediately.
Note: When scanning upward in frequency, when the
frequency reaches the C O M Band (118.000 - 136.975
MHz) via manual scanning, The VXA-200 will
switch to the automatic scanner mode.

SCANNING OPERATION
Channel-Skip Scanning
Continuous-carrier stations like ATIS (Automatic
Terminal Information Service) or Weather Broadcast
stations inhibit scanner operation. Since these stations are always active, the scanner will be halted
repeatedly on their channels. Such channels can be
set to be “skipped” during scanning, if you like, so
as not to interfere with automatic channel scanning:
r Recall the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning.
r Press [F] à [9 (SKIP)] . The “SKIP” icon will
appear in the lower right corner, indicating that
the channel is to be ignored during scanning.
28
r You can also designate a channel to be skipped
while scanning. When the receiver is halted on a
channel that you wish to skip, press and hold the
[SCAN (DW)] key for 2 seconds (the “SKIP”
icon will appear next to the channel to be
skipped).
r Later, to re-enable the memory channel for scanning, repeat the first two steps. The “SKIP” icon
will disappear by the channel you have just reenabled.
Note: A memory set to be “skipped” is still accessible for manual memory selection using the CHANNEL selector knob.

DUAL WATCH OPERATION
The Dual Watch feature automatically checks for
activity on a “priority” channel* while you are operating on another channel. During Dual Watch operation, the current channel and the Priority channel will
each be polled for a 500 ms interval, as the VXA200 looks for activity on each channel.
r To start Dual Watch, press [F] à [SCAN (DW)].
The “DW” icon will appear on the display.
r While receiving on the “current” channel (not
the Priority channel), you may push the PTT
switch at any time to transmit on that channel.
r When a signal is received on the Priority channel, operation immediately shifts to the Priority
channel, the “DW” icon will blink, and the display will become illuminated.
While receiving on the priority channel, if you
momentarily press the PTT switch, Dual Watch
will be disabled. You may then transmit on the
Priority Channel.
r To stop Dual Watch, press [F] à [SCAN (DW)].
r If you wish, you may use both the Dual Watch
and Scan features simultaneously. To do this, start
the Dual Watch first, then start the Scanner.
* The “Priority” Channel is defined as the last-used
Memory Channel (when using the VFO mode) or
Memory Channel 1 (when using the Main Memory
or Book Memory modes).

current channel and the Priority channel may be
customized via the Menu mode, item PRTM. See
page 28 for details.
l Irrespective of which channel is currently being
received, when the PTT button is pushed transmission will always occur on the Priority channel.
Before initiating Priority Dual Watch, Menu item
DWMD must be set to the “Priority” mode (instead
of “Dual Watch”). See page 28 for details.
30
r To start Priority Dual Watch, press [F] à [SCAN

r While receiving on the “current” (non-Priority)
channel, pressing the PTT button once causes
the radio to switch to the Priority channel and
cancels Dual Watch. Press the PTT button again
to transmit on the Priority channel.
r When a signal is received on the Priority channel, reception immediately shifts to the Priority
channel, the “DW” icon will blink, and the display will become illuminated unless the Scan
