VX-3R Operating Manual

 

The VX-3R is a micro-miniature multiband FM transceiver with extensive receive frequency coverage, 

providing local-area two-way amateur communications along with unmatched monitoring capability. 

The VX-3R’s incredibly small size allows you to take it anywhere - hiking, skiing, or while walking around 

town - and its operating flexibility brings the user many avenues of operating enjoyment. Its incredibly tiny 

FNB-82LI Lithium-Ion Battery Pack provides up to 1.5 Watts of transmit power on VHF, and 1 Watt on UHF. 

Besides 144- and 430-MHz transceive operation, the VX-3R provides receive coverage of the AM (MF) 

which provide the internal bar antenna and FM broadcast bands, HF Shortwave Bands, VHF and UHF TV 

bands, the VHF AM aircraft band, and a wide range of commercial and public safety frequencies! 

Furthermore, the VX-3R provides the internal bar antenna for the good receiving the AM broadcast. 

Additional features include an Enhanced Paging and Code Squelch (EPCS), which allows you to page a 

particular station and only receive calls from that station, if desired; a security Password feature, which will 

allow you to turn on and operate your transceiver only after you enter your Password; a convenient access 

key for Vertex Standard’s WIRES

™

 (Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System); Emergency 

Automatic ID (EAI) function, that will automatically cause your VX-3R to transmit your callsign and engage 

your rig’s microphone, even if you are disabled and unable to press the PTT switch; a transmit Time-Out 

Timer (TOT); Automatic Power-Off (APO); Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS); Yaesu’s exclusive ARTS

™

 

(Auto-Range Transponder System) which “beeps” the user when you move out of communications range 

with another ARTS

TM

 equipped station, plus provision for reduction of the TX deviation in areas of high 

channel congestion. And an S-meter squelch circuit allows the owner to set the squelch to open at a 

programmable setting of the S-Meter, thus reducing guesswork in setting the squelch threshold. 

We appreciate your purchase of the VX-3R, and encourage you to read this manual thoroughly, so as to 

learn about the many exciting features of your exciting new Yaesu hand-held transceiver!
