Am Aircraft Reception; Fm Broadcast/Tv Audio Reception - Yaesu VX-6E Operating Manual

Reception of AM signals in the aeronautical band (108-137 MHz) is similar to that described
in the previous section.
1. Press the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key (or press the [ F/W ] key, followed by the
[ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key) (repetitively, if necessary), until you
see a frequency in the aeronautical band.
2. Rotate the DIAL to tune across the aeronautical band.
3. You may also use the keypad to enter frequencies directly. Remember that frequencies
quoted by aircraft operators may be abbreviated, and that the "5" at the end of a
frequency may be dropped. Since aeronautical channels are assigned in 25-kHz steps,
therefore, a frequency announced as "thirty-two, forty-two" corresponds to an oper-
ating frequency of 132.425 MHz.
FM B
The VX-6R/E also includes provision for reception in the FM broadcast band, utilizing a
wide-bandwidth filter which provides excellent fidelity.
To Activate FM Broadcast Reception
1. Press the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key (or press the [ F/W ] key,
followed by the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key) repetitively until a
frequency in the FM broadcast band appears on the display. The
total frequency range included in the "FM" band is 59-108 MHz
(USA version) or 88-108 MHz (EXP/EU versions).
2. Rotate the DIAL to select the desired station. The default syn-
thesizer steps for the W-FM mode are 100 kHz/step.
To Activate VHF or UHF TV Audio Reception
1. Press the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key (or press the [ F/W ] key,
followed by the [ BAND ( SCN ) BND DN ] key) repetitively until a
frequency in the VHF or UHF TV bands appears on the LCD.
2. Rotate the DIAL to select the desired station.
Remember that the Wide-FM Squelch setting may be
made independently from the Narrow-FM setting. See
