Introduction - Yaesu VXA-200 Operating Manual

The Yaesu VXA-200 Aviator Pilot II is a compact, stylish, solid hand-held transceiver providing communica-
tion (transmit and receive) capability on the International Aircraft Communication Band ("C O M " band: 118 ~
136.975 MHz), and it additionally provides VOR and CDI navigation features on the "N A V " band (108 ~
117.975 MHz).
The VXA-200 includes Temperature display with our exclusive Omni-GlowTM display back-light for minimal
degradation of your night vision, NOAA weather band monitoring, 8-character Alpha/Numeric Display, 50
Memory Channels, and 100 "Book Memory" Channels. And the optional Barometric Pressure Unit (SU-1)
provides readout of barometric pressure, altitude, and density altitude.
We recommend that you read this manual in its entirety, so as to understand the many features of the VXA-200
completely. Keep this manual handy, so you may use it for reference.
NOTE: The VXA-200's VOR and CDI Navigation features are supplemental aids to navigation only, and are
not intended to be a substitute for accurate (primary) VOR/CDI or landing service equipment. And also, the
Barometric/Altitude features of the optional SU-1 are designed to be a substitute for accurate, calibrated Ba-
rometer or Altimeter devices used for navigation critical to personal safety.
