Different Modes on the Yaseu VX5r

VFO
The 'ready to use' state of the radio, ready to enter frequencies freeform, ready to transmit and ready use all other modes. To enter, touch VFO. There are two VFO slots or You might use VFO mode to: memories in each BAND. (A ? Quick enter a freq. & talk. ? Save a new freq. to total of 20 VFO memories!) To change between the Va & ? Dual watch (monitor 2 freq.) ? Basic Mode operation when Vb in a band, touch VFO. To change bands (and VFO no special mode is In VFO change the frequency pairs) touch BAND. In VFO enter any frequency by turning the dial. To make the dial work faster, directly on the keypad. If your freq. does not have 3 touch F then turn dial. SET #11 changes the digits right of the decimal, ' frequency step ', how much the touch VFO to enter (or add VFO acts a little differently if dial changes the freq. SET# 05 VFO is set to band. Touch VFO to exit most other modes and return to default. Dial turning stays within a To copy a memory chan into To save a Memory Channel, the current VFO, switch to the set it up in VFO first then hold mem, hold FW, touch VFO. FW, dial, touch FW.

Setup
the default mode
Allows you to adjust many settings. To enter, F-BAND. To exit, touch PTT. There are 45 setup slots. A couple vary by band. A dozen have a different value They can be categorized into 4 functional groups: control , for each memory channel. Turning the dial moves through customization , features & the different slots. memory channels . To change the value of a slot, They are not arranged in order touch BAND, (notice the S , on by function, but unfortunately the lower left) turn the dial to seem random. (see SET page for the desired setting and then There are shortcuts into certain SETup slots almost all of the touch BAND again. If you enter SET with one of buttons on the keypad, labeled these orange shortcuts, you in orange. can touch the same key to To use the orange feature of a button, touch FW first. save and exit.

Memory Channels
very important
Store and access frequencies with details. To enter, touch MR. To exit, touch VFO. There are 220 memories for To save a memory channel, you to store commonly used switch to VFO, choose the frequencies of any kind. frequency, power level and all To recall a memory, touch the of the 12 memory SET memory number on the key functions, then hold FW, dial to pad and touch MR. Use the dial to move through the desired channel and touch FW. (see saving page!) the visible memories. Masked channels are hidden. An asterisk is displayed next to To hide a memory hold FW, the channel number during then touch MR. All memories save to indicate a memory that start out hidden until something has NEVER been used.

During save, the dial moves through channels. I wish keypad worked. I wish it would clear a channel (or a VFO) to get the asterisk back. I wish there were a channel only mode, with only the name displayed.

Scanning
Search for a signal, checking many frequencies rapidly. To exit, touch VFO. To continue a scan that's stopped on a signal, use the dial. To scan all frequencies, in VFO To scan memory channels, in hold VFO. The increment can memory mode hold MR. To set a channel to be skipped be set up in SET#11 SET#12 controls what happens in scans, browse to the when a signal is found: channel then F-MR. continue after 5 sec, continue Automatically saved. You can set up a preferential when signal ends, or stop To scan a specific range, save bank of memories for scanning the range limits in the U/L band by marking each with a musical limit memories first. note. To mark: browse to the To start scan, dial to the channel then F-MR, F-MR. Upper or Lower channel of a To start a preferential scan, band limit pair (ie U8 ) and browse to a marked channel touch MR. The MR in the left then hold MR. For the PMS to work there corner will change to PMS for Preferential Memory Scan. must be no signal on the L or U channel. Else it goes to MT. Now hold VFO.

Dual Watch
very useful
Monitor 2 frequencies simultaneously. To exit, touch VFO. There are three varieties of dual watch: 1. A Memory with The Priority Memory. Switch to the memory you want, then F-VFO. 2. Any frequency entered into VFO with The Priority Memory. Enter the frequency in a VFO, then F-VFO. 3 .Two frequencies entered in both VFOs. (the best option) Enter the frequencies in the two VFOs, then F-+VFO. The Radio actually stays on If VFO link SET #10 is on, both one frequency, but switches for VFOs must be on the same 0.2 seconds every 4 seconds band, but if it is off, you can to the secondary. use different bands! It is helpful if you set the PTT will transmit on which ever display to show two of the two frequencies had the frequencies first using hold 1. most recent traffic.

Cloning
Bulk transfer of memory and setting information. To exit, power off. Hold F/W while turning the Cloning lets you transfer the radio on. The LCD will say memories from one radio Clone . You must choose directly into another. The radios must be connected transmit or receive. To make this radio send it's with a special cable which memories, touch VFO. plugs into the speaker mic jack. To make this radio receive new Wouldn't it be cool if the radio transmitted the data between radios on memories, touch MR. There programs which, using 70cm, instead of requiring a cable?! the cloning cable, will upload The official program is called mems from the radio, maintain ADMS-1 , however there are a couple of free ones on the lists, allow you to change internet. One called VX5 mems, add new ones (more Commander and one called easily!) and download it all to EVE which works very well. the radio.

To enter MG mode, hold 4, To add a Memory Channel to a MG bank, browse to the then browse with the dial, and desired channel, hold FW, touch MR to choose a bank. There are 5 banks, or groups then touch a digit 1-5 for the of the 220 basic memories. desired bank.

text entry
Enter alphabetic names for memories. To enter, F-BAND, dial to 03, touch BAND. Text can be entered: Touch BAND to enter 1st char. SET #03 -- Mem Chan Tag Choose character with the dial. To jump forward through the SET #33 -- ARTS Callsign character sets, touch HM/RV. SET #42 -- Meter Symbol To enter current character and To jump backwards through move to the next, touch the character sets, touch SETS: space (start of To repeat the previous symbols), A (start of capitols), character touch FW. To clear all characters after the Z (end of capitols), a (start of lowercase), z (end of current one, touch MR. To save the text at any point, lowercase), (followed by six touch PTT. sets of Japanese )

DTMF memory banks

Save and replay touch tones for repeaters & autopatch. To turn on, hold 3. To turn off hold 3. To save a string of touch tone To transmit the contents of a digits in a DTMF memory, DTMF memory first touch F-3, touch F-BAND, and dial to to turn on DTMF mode & icon.

BANDS
How frequencies are thought of when using the radio. Not a 'mode' but an idea. This radio receives a huge Always remember that the section of spectrum and allows concept of a BAND is completely arbitrary -- defined you to use that spectrum as ONE SINGLE BAND, or as split only by agreement. In most modes, the BAND, key into 10 arbitrary bands jumps to the next preset band, SET #5 VFO = BAND, then browsing or scanning through regardless of SET status. SET #10 VFO Link will make frequencies (in VFO mode) will VFOa and VFOb change wrap around when reaching together. (They must be set on the end of the band. If it is set the same band for SET#10 to to ALL, it will continue allow the change)., throughout the spectrum. The ten bands are: 48-59 mHz HAM- 6m 137-174 mHz HAM- 2m 420-470 mHz HAM- 0.7m aviation 108-137 mHz 222-420 mHz "action" 1 (business & government) 800-999 mHz "action" 2 (business & government) 0.5-1.8 mHz broadcast- AM 1.8-16 mHz broadcast- SW 59-108 mHz broadcast- FM 174-222 & 470-729 mHz broadcast- TV

Background noise is generally silenced -- this changes the strength of signal that is allowed to pass through. Same as #1 except for broadcast FM and Television transmissions which are 1 mHz wide. A 1 to 8 character 'tag' (name) that you set for a memory channel to label it. Displayed with +2. Allows you to from a group of goofy pictures to use to label a memory channel. Displayed with +5. Determines whether functions (such as VFO, HOME etc) are forced into a multi-band operation, or if they appear operate as one large 0.5-1000 mHz band. When on, causes the radio to guess repeater offset and shift based on the frequency. Guesses tend to be right 99% of the time, however it can be manually set with SET #7 and SET #8. Set the repeater shift: up, down or simplex. When SET #6 is on, this is automatically chosen (and it is right 99% of the time. Set the repeater offset in mHz. When SET #6 is on, this is automatically chosen (and it is right 99% of the time. If you want to set up an unusual frequency pair for repeater operation, you can set the two frequencies up in VFOa and VFOb and with this on, operate with the main (active VFO) is the receive and the sub the transmit. The two VFOs can be linked to always be on the same band at the same time. If this is off, they function independently. Before you can turn this on you must adjust both VFOs to the same band! Adjusts the amount that the dial changes the frequency with each click. Controls scanning behavior when a signal is found. It can stop on the signal for 5 seconds then continue scanning, stop until the signal goes away or stop completely. If you choose busy , you have to used the knob (or skip function in the memories) skip constant carrier frequencies such as broadcast radio.

description brief lamp on when scan stops Turns on the backlight when the scanner finds a signal. receive batt saver transmit batt saver auto power off
Uses less battery, but can interfere slightly with reception (actually periodically shuts down the radio for a few micro-seconds). Lowers power on second transmission if response is very strong. Turns the radio off after a period of time with no activity on the keypad or dial. (If Key Beep is off, the radio does NOT beep or alert you when it is shutting down, which is frustrating. ) Shuts off the LED on the top of the radio which indicates TX (red), RX (green) or charging (yellow). Saves a little bit of battery power. (I wish you could control which of the three operated the LED instead of only having an on and off.) Controls when the radio audibly alerts during range finding operation. Controls how often the radio checks for a nearby radio during range finding operation. Turns off or on the audible indication of a keypress. (Scan & Edge Beep & APO alarm are all disabled if Key Beep is off. I wish there were a series of selections of which to use and which not like with SET #37.) Turn on alert tone to indicate when passing a band boundary in scan or when tuning with the knob. Turn on and adjust bell alert, which allows you to set a 'ring' to alert you when a call is made to you with the correct CTCSS tone (like FRS radios use). Change the function of the moni key to either open squelch all the way, or to send the tone to open up European repeaters. Change the function of the HOME/REV key to either jump to home frequency in current band, or to reverse the frequency pair in a repeater operation setup. Set how the L key controls the backlight, toggle on and off, on for 5 seconds and then auto off, or on for 5 seconds whenever any key is pressed. Shut off the transmitter after a certain amount of time on. Useful protection against accidentally pressing PTT.

brief

description
Prevents transmission on a busy channel. Can be useful, to prevent interference with a station which is muted due to a tone squelch, a broadcast channel or just regular traffic. However it can cause problems with repeater operation and completely prevents autopatch repeater operation and it is NOT saved with each memory channel, so it is rather useless. Not really an on/off, but rather two different frequencies that the radio's CPU can operate on (different clock cycles emit different frequencies). Is necessary to improve performance on frequencies which have a resonance with the clock frequency. (The EVE software tells you when to shift it!) Set up CTCSS sub-audible tone. This tone allows a certain level of control as to who hears you and who you hear. TONE sends a tone but does not require an incoming tone for reception, TONE SQL sends a tone and also requires it on RX, DCS works like TONE SQL only it's digital and compatible with many business radios. There is a tone search feature which can help you find a tone if you don't know it. Set the tone code for TONE or TONE SQL using the dial to browse through the pre-set series. To search for a tone, set SETt#29 set to TONE SQL, then while in SET#30 and receiving a signal, touch VFO.

brief bandwidth for receive

description
Manually change the receive mode. Determines the amount of space on the band that the wave takes, 500 kHz or 1000. Wide FM is for broadcast FM and TV. AM is for AM broadcast and airband. Narrow FM covers pretty much everything else Adjusts what is locked when you set keylock (F-TX/PO). This is extremely important if you keep the radio in a pocket or where it can get bumped and if you are letting someone you don't trust babysit your radio, you can lock the PTT!! Cuts the transmit bandwidth to only 250 kHz -- in some cities this hass recently been declared the standard, but unless everyone is set that way, it only makes your audio VERY quiet. Don't use it. Set up in English or Japanese (what, no Polish?) Sets radio to turn on in a set amount of time from 10 minutes to 24 hours. This feature is a substitute for an alarm clock, since the radio does not have a real time clock. NOTE: you must set this to off once the radio is on again to prevent it turning on again and again. Adjusts the LCD screen for best viewing with given light, angle and eye strength. Lets you customize the character for the signal strength meter at the bottom of the LCD screen. Choose from various shapes and characters, OR, enter a word or string of your choosing! If barometer chip is installed, this calibrates it. (Works AGAINST #44 -- you can really only use the barometer OR the altimeter.) If barometer chip is installed, this calibrates it. (Works AGAINST #43 -- you can really only use the barometer OR the altimeter.) Controls what weather functions the radio displays, if any, when the radio is shut OFF. It can display the temp when off, it uses a little bit of battery. If the barometer is installed, it can display that or altitude too. Switch to Weather Channel Mode. Switch to the display mode with one line of large digits, frequency only. Switch to display mode of two lines with two lines, frequency and tag (name). (I keep the radio in this display mode most of the time.) Switch to display mode of two lines with frequency and current battery voltage. If it gets down to 7.3, you need to recharge. Switch to display mode of two lines with main and sub frequencies. Useful in VFO, necessary in dual watch!

Switch to the display mode with one line of small digits, the frequency and the goofy Yaseu icons. Switch to display mode of two lines the frequency and the current usage timer. Displays Transmit and Receive time. Very useful! Switch to display mode of two lines the frequency and the current temperature. Switch to display mode of two lines the frequency and the current barometric pressure, if you have the barometer unit installed. Switch to display mode of two lines the frequency and the current altitude, if you have the barometer unit installed. This key, if started with a memory on the screen, will scan through all of your memories (except those marked to skip). touch MR to stop. This key pattern, if started in VFO mode, will scan through every single frequency starting with the on the display. touch VFO to stop. Two people with identical radios can use this to tell when they are in range of each other. Not very useful. This is very frequently turned on by accident. To exit hold BAND again. With usage timer on the screen (+6) this key stroke will reset the timer to zero. The timer does NOT reset automatically when you recharge! There are several functions (notably Dual Watch) which default to a PRIORITY memory channel. To change this, hold F, until you get the W at the lower left and then touch BAND. You can only have one PRIORITY channel at a time. Set memory channel as The Priority channel. Erase a memory channel. This does NOT actually erase a memory, but hides it. There is no way i know to actually erase a memory other than writing over it. (To unhide a memory, use the same key combination, and dial to the hidden memory (no asterisk) (for Full procedure see How To Save A Memory page) Turn the backlight on to stay on until you touch L again regardless of what SET#25 says. Lock Keypad &/or Dial &/or Push to Talk (setting is SET #7) to prevent accidentally changing settings. Same key combination to unlock! Monitor two frequencies in the two VFOs. To exit touch VFO. Very useful.

This turns on the DTMF shortcuts. You can tell when it is on because there is a very tiny telephone icon at the lower right of the LCD screen. When this is on, you can send any of the 9 memories simply by holding PTT, touching the digit you choose (say, 4) and releasing PTT. It is very important to turn this off when you are done (i wish it were automatic) (F-3 again.) Switch to Memory Group Mode. Swap the input and output frequencies of a repeater set up. This is very dangerous! Transmit at high power regardless of TX/PO setting. Set memory channel to skip during scans. You can append one of two icons to a memory using this key combination. The first that appears is a triangle, that indicates that this memory channel will be SKIPPED in any scan. Very useful for broadcast stations. The second time you press the keys a musical note will appear. That means it is a MAIN memory. If you start a scan on one of the MAIN memories, it will only scan MAIN memories... kind of like a miniature 7th Memory Group. Monitor two frequencies, the one you are looking at (VFO or mem) and your Priority Channel (indicated by a P next to the memory number). To exit touch VFO. Switch to HOME mode and jump to the home memory of the band which contains the currently active frequency. Open up the Squelch entirely, to hear a weak signal or check volume levels. Change the transmission level, High (no icon), Low L), Med Low L)) and Med High L))). You should keep it as low as works for you at all times. Changes the volume of the speaker, or earphone.
