Manuals and parts are available from the company, contact them at the above phone number.   Pricing on manuals is usually less than half the cost of copying a manual, since there are usually a number of fold-out schematics in color.   Go to http://www.vertexstandard.com for more information.

Repeater-Builder is looking for articles and information on the older Standard RP-series (for the "Standard" page), the older Yaesu FTR-series repeaters, the current VXR series, and other Yaesu / Vertex / Standard / Horizon land mobile equipmentas there isn't much "out there" on using Yaesu/Vertex/Standard commercial equipment in the amateur radio world... The information we have below either can't be found elsewhere, or it is interesting enough that it's worth including below.

The VXR series is Yaesu's current commercial (LMR) repeater product line.

There is a Yahoogroup for the VXR-5000 series at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VertexVX5000.
Note that there are two versions of the VXR-5000. The older versions do not have the 3 LED's on the back of the unit and do not hve the PL encode\decoder built-in. Those require the FTS-22 tone squelch unit inside the repeater. If you are buying a used VXR5000 and it does not have the 3 LEDs on the back make sure the FTS22 board is there. The newer version has 3 LED's located on the rear panel of the repeater unit and have the PL functions included inside the control unit.

Yaesu YC-355D Frequency Counter Instruction Manual     5.5 MB PDF   Donated by A. Nony Mous At one point Yaesu made a few pieces of test equipment. This is an older Nixie™ display based TTL frequency counter. Note from WA6ILQ: I still have a YC-355D - it was the first really useful counter that I had that wasn't full of tubes... I had built a counter that used RTL logic, but it couldn't even get up to 1500kHz. I traded a Moto all-tube dynamotor mobile for the YC-355D... I think I got the better deal.
