Changing The Transmitter Power Level - Yaesu VX-6E Operating Manual

Changing the Transmitter Power Level

You can select between a total of four transmitter power levels on your VX-6R/E. The exact
power output will vary somewhat, depending on the voltage supplied to the transceiver.
With the standard FNB-80LI Battery Pack and external DC source, the power output 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, followed
by the [ ( LK ) TXPO ] key,
causes the power level "
LOW2
" ," or "
pear.
2. Press the [ F / W ] key, followed by the
[ ( LK ) TXPO ] key (re-
peatedly, if necessary) to
HIGH
make the "
appear and restore High Power operation.
1) The VX-6R/E 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/E to transmit (temporarily) on High
power. After one transmission, the power level will revert to the previously-selected
setting.
3) When the power supply voltage is 14-volt or above, reduce the transmit power to
"Low 3" level automatically.
