Vertex standard programming software. Nissan UK, experts in tech & performance. From Crossovers to 100% electric vehicles, drive into the future today. Notice to all!!!!! Use firmware updates at your own risk!!! Vrg is not responsible if you update and damage your radio!!!
Note: As of January 1, 2018, VertexStandard is now owned by Motorola Solutions. Many Vertex web pages are redirected to Motorola web pages. Support has been taken over by Motorola. Most current Vertex items are now on MOL but a lot of Vertex equipment has been discontinued by Motorola. If you already have an MOL account, you should be able to purchase Vertex items through it, IF you can obtain the proper Vertex part numbers.
Best we can figure out from the Yaesu web site, the name 'Yaesu' has been relegated to the amateur radio division, the name 'VertexStandard' is the new name for the LMR (commercial radio) division (replacing 'Vertex'), and the marine division is now called 'Standard/Horizon'. Of course, things may change next week.
The equipment branded as 'Standard' was made by Standard Radio Communications Company. SRC products can be found on the 'Standard' page on Repeater-Builder. Only the information that is applicable to equipment manufactured after the merger of Yaesu/Vertex with Standard is on this page. Standard Communications Japan was a subsidary of Marantz Inc. When Marantz sold Standard to Yaesu they folded both the Vertex and Standard product lines into VertexStandard.

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, and Horizon land mobile equipment, as there isn't much 'out there' on using their commercial equipment in the amateur radio world.
The information we have below is here for one of three reasons: (1) We needed it for a personal project, went looking for it, found it, and decided to stash it here, (2) it can't be found elsewhere, or (3) it's interesting enough that it's worth including below.
Yaesu provides 'Operating Manuals' and calls a service manual a 'Technical Supplement'. An 'Instruction Manual' is both.
Yaesu Amateur Radio Articles and Manuals:
| FT-23R Mark II Operating Manual 264 kB PDF The Mark II manual was all we could find when we went looking for an operating manual. If someone has the original as a PDF, send it to us; we'll add it. |
| FT-23R Technical Supplement (small) 2.5 MB PDF |
| FT-23R Technical Supplement (large) a larger 4.5 MB PDF |
| Notes and comments on the FT-23R by Bob Parnass AJ9S The speaker/microphone is a model MH-12A2B. Here's the speaker-mic pinout. The FT-33 is the 220 MHz version, the FT-73 is the UHF version. The FT-470 has similar CPU / logic schematics and much of the info on that radio applies here. |
| Setting the repeater offset on the FT-33R by Brad KB9BPF This procedure may apply to the FT-23R and FT-73R radios. |
| FT-60R Operating Manual 2.35 MB PDF The PA-38 drop-in charger (the standard one for the FT60) is an RF noisy pest, especially between 25 and 50 MHz, with harmonics audible as far as 500 MHz. I seriously wonder how it got approved by the FCC. |

| The original FT-1500M catalog brochure 503 kB PDF This radio is popular with the Packet & APRS community due to price and durability. 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, add a more common connector to the stub, and use it to interface your TNC to the FT-1500. 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. One disadvantage is the microphone is specific to this model. It's part number MH-48A6J, and is both DTMF and backlit. |

Land Mobile Radio (commercial two-way) Articles and Manuals:
Most Yaesu LMR radios are Vertex branded and have model numbers starting with 'VX'. The repeaters have model numbers starting with 'VXR'. Many of the service manuals also have Operating Manual reprints in the front and some include programming instructions.
| Apparently the low-band VX-series radios will have an 'A' suffix on the label if they're for the 29.7-37 MHz bandsplit, and will have NO suffix if they're for the 37-50 MHz 'B' bandsplit. Other bands may follow a similar convention. |
| VX-2000 Accessory Connector and interfacing to a CAT300DXLcontroller Provided by Dave Wood KB8SCR |
| Extend the Band Limits of the Vertex CE49 Programming Software by Robert W. Meister WA1MIK The CE49 software is used by the VX-4000, VX-5500, and VX-6000 (and possibly other) radios. With a hex editor, the band limits can be extended to allow amateur frequencies. You will still have to adjust the VCO and tweak some coils to get satisfactory operation once you can enter ham frequencies into the radio; see the article below. |
| Convert the VX-5500L to 6 meters by John Haserick W1GPO These radios normally cover 37-50 MHz but with a bit of work they can be made to perform quite well up to 54 MHz. You'll need to hex-edit the radio's personality to allow out-of-band frequencies; see the article above. You'll also need to access and adjust the VCO; see the article below by K2WD for more information. |
| Using the VX-6000L as a 6 meter Repeater Transmitter by John Haserick W1GPO Capable of 120 watts output, the VX-6000 is a high-powered VX-5500. John added two fans and a lot more heat sinks to make the radio survive repeater duty cycle. Refer to the article above for the required hex-editing. You'll also need to access and adjust the VCO; see the article below by K2WD for more information. |
| Converting the VX-6000L to 6 meters by John Haserick W1GPO This is a follow-up to the above article that details more of the conversion. You'll also need to access and adjust the VCO; see the article below by K2WD for more information. |
| Updated Version of 'Using the VX-6000L as a 6 meter Repeater Transmitter' by John Haserick W1GPO This is an updated and improved version of an article above. It uses a different repeater controller, different fans, and a thermostatic fan controller. |
| Modifying the VX-4000, VX-5500, and VX-6000 VCO for 6 meter operation 160 kB PDF by Warren Dyckman K2WD This is a companion to the above articles that details the VCO access part of the conversion. This article was extracted from the Peekskill/Cortlandt Amateur Radio Assn, Inc, newsletter 'PCARA Update' Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2016.

| The programmable illuminated buttons along the bottom of the front panel have stick-on translucent labels in them. These came in sheets with the original radio package. Chances are, the labels won't match what you have programmed the buttons to do, and since most buttons can have a short press function as well as a long press function, you have to choose one function label or the other. New sheets can be purchased for about $8 each, but Motorola On-Line only sells them in quanties of three sheets per package. Other places sell them too. Order part number 3308800H25 KEY LABEL SHEET. These fit ALL of the VX-series as well as the Motorola PM-1200 (equivalent to the Vertex VX-6000). |

| The Motorola PM-1200 is essentially a Vertex VX-6000 with different connectors and accessories: a single modular RJ-45 mike connector on the control head, a mini-UHF-female antenna jack, and a 20-pin two-row accessory connector. It has been rumored that the Vertex CE-49 software will also work on a PM-1200. |
| The VX-6000 remote-mount radio power cable costs over $120 if you buy it from Motorola Solutions (Vertex). However it's the same cable used by the Kenwood TK-690 75/110W remote-mount radios: four conductors, two hot, two ground, with a 30A fuse, Kenwood p/n KCT-23M4. You can buy them on a popular auction site for under $40. This cable also fits the Motorola PM-1200. There are several two conductor power cables listed for the TK690; they aren't what you want for the VX-6000. Thanks to John W1GPO for discovering this. |
| Vertex Standard Radio Programming Matrix 200 kB PDF A chart of radio models, programming software packages and versions, programming cables, operating systems, and manual versions for North American products only. |
| Motorola Solutions conveniently eliminated their competition by purchasing the Vertex product line. They almost immediately discontinued sales and support of the low-band (at least) VX-series mobile radios. This eliminates two sources for high-power, low-band, mobile radios. |

VXR-5000 Articles and Manuals:
Note that there are two hardware versions of the VXR-5000. The older versions do not have the 3 LEDs on the back of the unit and do not have the CTCSS encode/decode function built-in. Those require the FTS-22 tone squelch unit inside the repeater. If you are buying a used VXR-5000 and it does not have the 3 LEDs on the back make sure the FTS-22 board is there. The newer version has 3 LEDs located on the rear panel of the repeater unit and have the CTCSS functions included inside the control unit.| VXR-5000 Repeater Mods Courtesy Southeast Iowa Technical Society (SEITS) |

VXR-7000 Articles and Manuals:
A note from A. Nony Mous:
If you are going to buy a used VXR-7000, pay attention to the model number:
VXR-7000V-A = 136-150 MHz
VXR-7000V-C = 150-174 MHz
VXR-7000U-A = 400-430 MHz
VXR-7000UBS1= 420-450 MHz
VXR-7000U-D = 450-480 MHz
VXR-7000U-F = 480-512 MHz
Also note that the power is adjustable from 10 to 50w, but it's rated at 30w continuous.
The CE-27 software is required to program it. Documentation can be found in the service manuals.
