Changing the Transmitter Power Level
You can select between a total of four transmitter power levels on your VX-6R. The exact
power output will vary somewhat, depending on the volt-
age supplied to the transceiver. With the standard FNB-
80LI Battery Pack and external DC source, the power out-
put levels available are:
To change the power level:
1. The default setting for the power output is "High;" in
this configuration, the LCD shows
no indication of the power output
level. Pressing the [ F/W ] key, fol-
lowed by the [ ( LK ) TXPO ] key,
will display the current power out-
put level.
2. Within one second of releasing the [

1) The VX-6R is smart! You can set up Low power on the 144 MHz band,
while leaving 430 MHz on High power, and the radio will remember the
different settings on both bands. And when you store memories, you can store
the power output settings separately in each memory, so you don't waste battery power
when using very close-in repeaters!
2) When you are operating on the "Low" power settings, you can press the [F/W] key,
then press the PTT switch, to cause the VX-6R to transmit (temporarily) on High power.
After one transmission, the power level will revert to the previously-selected setting.
