Technical Information on Equipment by and ![]() Click on any of the images above to go to the corporate web sites |
Best we can figure out from the Yaesu web site, the name "Yaesu" has been relegated to the amateur radio division, the name "Vertex / Standard" is the new name for the commercial radio division (replacing "Vertex"), and the marine division is now "Standard / Horizon". Of course, things may change next week.
The equipment branded as "Standard" that was made by Standard Radio Communications Co. / Standard Radio is on the "Standard" page at this web site. Only the information that is applicable to equipment manufactured after the merger of Yaesu/Vertex with Standard is here.

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 equipment.
Yaesu FT-1500 2m mobile: This radio is popular with the Packet / APRS community
The 6 pin data connector used on the rear is the same connector as an S-video cable. You
can pick up a 3 foot S-video cable and cut one end off and use it.
To enable out-of-ham-band receive (such as NOAA weather) just turn the radio off and then press and hold down the D / MR button down while you turn the radio on.

Yaesu YC-355D Frequency Counter Instruction Manual At one point Yaesu made a few pieces of test equipment. This is an older Nixie™ display based TTL frequency counter. 5.5mb PDF Donated by A. Nony Mous Note from WA6ILQ: I still have a YC-355D - it was my 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. |
