YAESU REVIEW VX 5R BY JIM BAUDO, N0UQZ
|
THE CASE FLIPS OPEN FOR EASY DISPLAY VIEW. |
50/144/430
TRIPLE-BAND HEAVY DUTY FM TRANSCEIVER RON, N0UCM WITH VX-5R AND SLICK CUTTING EDGE CUSTOM CASE. The VX-5R’s ruggedness and durability are assured thanks to the die-cast aluminum housing, augmented by an extensive gasketing system which sets a new standard for water resistance among amateur HTs. Tough enough to have passed the stringent shock and vibration requirements of the U.S. military (MIL-STD 810), the VX-5R also boasts such signature Yaesu features as loud, crisp receiver audio, a large easy-to-read LCD display, and straightforward operation. The VX-5R is the unquestioned leader in HT technology now and into the Millennium! COMPARE YAESU VX-1R, VX-5R, VX-7R REVIEW

|
THE VX-5R HAS BECOME THE # 1 SELLING RADIO DO TO ITS WIDE SELECTION OF FEATURES, EASE OF USE AND ITS REASONABLE PRICE. |
|
THIS RADIO AND THE YAESU SOFTWARE GETS A 10 RATING, FROM JIM, NØUQZ |
|
|
 THIS
IS A SCREEN SHOT OF THE SOFTWARE FROM YAESU. AS YOU SEE I HAVE
ARRANGED THE MEMORY CHANNELS IN A LOGICAL ORDER FOR EASY RECALL. THIS
RADIO HAS 220 MEMORIES SO I TOOK THE, EXAMPLE: 147.06 AND I PLACED IT IN
MEMORY CHANNEL 6 AND SO FORTH WITH 147.12 AND 147.18 IN MEMORY 12 AND
18. TO JUMP FROM MEMORY 82 WHERE I HAVE 146.82 IN MEMORY,
YOU JUST PUSH 18 MR TO GO TO MEMORY CHANNEL 18. OUR LOCAL IRLP IS ON
443.725 SO I KEEP IT IN MEMORY CHANNEL 72. I HOPE YOU FOLLOW MY IDEA
HERE.
I HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMING THE BLIND AND HANDICAPPED HAMS RADIO'S FOR YEARS THIS WAY AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO ALWAYS KNOW THAT THEY ARE ON THE CORRECT FREQUENCY. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE SOFTWARE IF I TRAVEL TO A DIFFERENT CITY WITH DIFFERENT PL TONES ETC. I JUST SAVE A FILE UNDER THAT CITY NAME AND MAKE THE CORRECTIONS IN THE SOFTWARE, DOWNLOAD IT, AND I AM READY. IT TAKES LESS THAN 3 MINUTES TO START THE SOFTWARE AND DOWNLOAD IT TO THE RADIO. |

| QUESTION, 12/08/03 Kevin Driscoll <kevindriscoll@verizon.net> wrote: Hi Mr. Baudo. Based on my internet informational search on this Yaesu VX 5 product, I see you have established yourself as quite the expert. Can you tell me if that model has the following three features: ability to use morse code; ability to program in a particular pL code for a repeater; and finally, adapter for accepting a microphone. Thanks for your time. Go in peace! Kevin Driscoll |
| ANSWER: IT WILL RECEIVE CODE IN AM AND FM AND TRANSMIT CODE IN FM. WE USE IT WEEKLY FOR CODE PRACTICE. IT HAS PL CODE SEARCH AND TRANSMITS THE PL CODES. HAS EXTERNAL MIKE AND POWER PLUG. JIM |

I
use the optional software to program all my Yaesu radios. On the vx5r
it makes it extremely fast to change the MEMORY CHANNEL configuration if
you are traveling to a different area.
