Barometric Pressure - Yaesu VX-5R Operating Manual

Barometric Pressure/Altitude Metering
Once you have completed the above calibration, you can confirm the current Barometric
Pressure, or your current Altitude, from the front panel's keypad:
How to Measure the Barometric Pressure
Press and hold in the [ 8 ( BRO )] key to display the current
Barometric Pressure. The pressure in millibars will be dis-
played below the frequency. If you leave the display in
this mode, a bar graph will be created, over time, to indi-
cate relative changes in the pressure (two bars per hours).
To return to normal operation, press and hold the [ 8 ( BRO )] key for one second. If you
were operating with the Main VFO field enlarged, press [ 4 ( MG ) DSP ] key instead.
How to Measure the Altitude
Press and hold in the [ 9 ( BP ) ALT ] key to display the cur-
rent Altitude.
To return to normal operation, press and hold the
[ 9 ( BP ) ALT ] key for one second. If you were operating
with the Main VFO field enlarged, press [ 4 ( MG ) DSP ] key instead.
