Yaesu VX-3R Ultra-compact 2 m/70 cm DUAL BAND Handheld FM Transceiver
The Third Generation Ultra-compact Handheld, VX-3R/E, is loaded with more new convenient and enjoyable features "AA" Battery Operation*, FM Stereo Broadcast Reception, Internal Bar Antenna for the AM Broadcast Band. Yaesu again leads the world of Compact Hand Held Transceivers!! The supplied High-Capacity Lithium-ion Battery (FNB-82LI) is compatible with the VX-2R/E. Handy to upgrade!
The VX-3R/E comes with the FNB-82LI, high capacity, superthin and tiny Lithium-ion Battery, and the NC-85 2.5 hour charger. You may enjoy up to 6 hours of Amateur Band operation, or more than 20 hours listening to your favorite AM or FM broadcast stations using the supplied highperformance Lithium-ion battery.
As tiny in your palm as the legendary VX-2R/E. Only 1.9" x 3.2" x 0.9". The high capacity FNB-82LI Lithium-Ion battery provides 1.5 watts (70cm: 1 W) output power! Use convenient replaceable AA batteries with the optional FBA-37 Battery Case.
The optional DC Cable with Cigarette-Lighter Adapter enables you to operate the VX-3R/E at full power output (3 W / 2 m : 2 W
The VX-3R/E has incredible frequency coverage of 1.8 - 76 MHz and 108 - 999.9 MHz*, in addition, it has a totally separate and independent AM / FM Stereo Broadcast receiver inside.
You may enjoy your favorite FM broadcast station in stereo with your stereo headset or earphone! The connected headset/ earphone cable works as an antenna to receive FM broadcast signals.
The VX-3R/E has an internal bar antenna to provide good reception on the AM broadcast band.
Totally new and different from the conventional "Priority Scanning" that only periodically checks a memory channel for activity. The dedicated broadcast receiver in the VX-3R/E permits listening to your favorite AM/FM stereo broadcast stations, and monitoring an amateur band at the same time.
Incredibly small, easy to learn and operate, even for beginners and casual outdoor operators. The most often used keys are conveniently arranged on the front panel. Press and hold one of these keys for more than 1 second to change its parameters. Use the "F" (function) key to access additional menus and functions. You will love the "large" LCD backlit display in a "compact" body!
The new Mechanical Dial Lock makes it very easy, and secure, to lock or unlock the main dial. Just pull the knob up, then turn it to adjust the frequency. Push the knob down to Lock it. Take your radio anywhere you want to go, in your briefcase or in your shirt pocket!
The VX-3R/E provides an incredible variety of memory resources in a tiny micro-miniature structure. There are 900 "Standard" memory channels, 50 sets of band-edge memories (known as "Programmable Memory Scan" channels), "Home" channels, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency on each operating band, and 99 "Frequency Skip Memories". In addition, many special memory channels are preprogramed.
The VX-3R/E has the Emergency Automatic ID (EAI) feature which is also included in the FT-60R/E and the VX-6R/E. The EAI feature lets you and your support team configure your radios so that, in case of an accident or emergency that leaves one of your team incapacitated, someone else can command their radio to transmit without their pressing the PTT, allowing others to use the signal for direction finding and effect a rescue.
Press and hold the HM/RV key for more than 2 seconds, "EMERGENCY" will appear on the display and the LED will flash with an audible beep. You may also program the transceiver to transmit your CW ID on the 70 cm band, Home Memory Channel.
When the Wake-Up feature is set, "WAKE UP" will appear on the display but otherwise the transceiver is turned completely off. The VX-3R/E will turn itself back on and check for activity on the current frequency. If no activity is found, the radio will go back to sleep for the selected time. The new "Wake-Up" battery saver feature works for up to 21 days when the battery is fully charged
The message function permits the exchange of pre programmed alphanumeric messages (up to 20 messages/16 characters maximum) including the sender s ID, between VX-3R/E and FTM-10R/E series users.
