General Description - Yaesu VX-6E Operating Manual

The VX-6E 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-6E'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 en-
joyment. Its incredibly compact FNB-80LI Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack pro-
vides up to 5 Watts of transmit power on 144 MHz and 430 MHz Amateur Bands. Besides
144- and 430-MHz transceive operation, the VX-6E 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!
New and exciting features of the VX-6E are the Emergency Automatic ID (EAI) function,
that will automatically cause your VX-6E to transmit your callsign 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 trans-
mit Time-Out Timer (TOT), Automatic Power-Off (APO), Automatic Repeater
This transceiver works on frequencies which

Shift (ARS), Yaesu's exclusive ARTS™ (Auto-Range Tran-
sponder System) which "beeps" the user when you move out
of communications range with another ARTS™ equipped sta-
tion, 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 set-
ting of the S-Meter, thus reducing guesswork in setting the
squelch threshold.
We appreciate your purchase of the VX-6E, 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!
