VXR-9000

 

The new VXR-9000 is a rack mount 50 W,  32 channel repeater.  It can be used in Base or Repeat mode. 

NOW AVAILABLE IN 100W CONTINUOUS-DUTY PACKAGE

Six programmable function keys are located up front for easy operation.  With over 20 different functions available in programming, the function keys can assist with common functions custom designed to your needs.

There is an up front loudspeaker with volume for monitoring.  Add the optional desk mic and you have a fully function base station with 32 channels and scan.

The rear panel has inputs for backup power if your main DC power supply should fail (there is no internal power supply).  If the repeater does revert to the backup DC supply, it can be programmed to send a CW alert over the air to let you know of the problem.  There are many programmable CW messages that can used.

Features like intelligent built in fan, command sequences, multi-tone operation push this repeater to the next level !

Backup Power Supply

For uninterrupted operation during power failures, a 12-volt rechargeable type battery (55-Ah or more recommended) may be connected to the BACKUP terminal posts on the rear panel.

In the event of an unexpected interruption of the Main DC Power Source, the automatic power control circuit will automatically switch the repeater to the backup battery, and operation will not be interrupted.

After prolonged operation from the battery, (Backup Power Source), it should be disconnected from the repeater and recharged separately before re-connecting.

Never reapply the Main Power Source to the repeater with a discharged battery connected as backup, as the DC startup current can damage the repeater and battery. While operating from a backup battery, the repeater requires approximately 7 amperes at 12 Volts during transmit.

 Programmable Function Keys
There are six programmable function keys on the front face of the repeater. There are over 20 functions available for programming to these buttons. Each button can also have a secondary function for a total of 12 separate functions from a relatively simple layout. Functionality and ease of use.

 Available Key Functions

Some of the available functions for these keys are:
Channel up/down
Audio Compander on/off
CTCSS/DCS toggle (on/off)
Send CW message (1 - 8)
KeyLock
Local PTT
Panel lights on/off
Repeat on/off
Remote accessory toggle (on/off)
and many many more.....

 Built in intelligent fan

The built in fan has a malfunction detect output to alert you if should ever fail due to obstruction, mechanical or electrical failure.

» FM TRANSCEIVER

FT-2800M

 

Heavy-Duty 144 Mhz FM Transceiver 

High power output, a huge, easy-to-read display, and one-touch WIRES™ Internet Linking Access capability are yours with the rugged new FT-2800M!

Download the FT-2800 PDF brochure.

65 Watts Power Output
Four selectable power output levels are provided: 65/25/10/5 Watts. The power selection may be stored into memory, allowing you to conserve power while using strong local repeaters.
Excellent Receiver Performance
The FT-2800M’s receiver front end features Yaesu’s renowned Advanced Track Tuning RF input filtering, which affords outstanding protection from Intermodulation distortion.
CTCSS and DCS Encode/Decode Built In
For easy repeater access, or silent monitoring of busy channels, both CTCSS and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) Encoder/Decoder circuits are built in. CTCSS and DCS configuration data may be stored independently in each memory channel. A “Split Tone” mode also allows operation on systems where CTCSS and DCS are used separately on the repeater uplink/downlink.
Extensive Memory System
The FT-2800M provides a total of 221 memory channels, including 200 “regular” memories, ten pairs of band-limit memories, and an instant-recall “Home” channel you can dedicate to a frequently-used repeater or simplex frequency. Memories can store repeater shift information, CTCSS/DCS data, power output level, scanning status (“Skip”), and Alpha-Numeric labels.
Alpha-Numeric Channel Display
Memory channels may be displayed either with the channel frequency or a personalized Alpha-Numeric label, for easy channel recognition. Up to six letters, characters, or numbers may be used for labeling channels.
WIRES Internet Linking Access Feature
The FT-2800M includes a conveniently-located “Internet” key, for quick access to Internet-linked repeater systems. Internet repeater linking allows you to use your FT-2800M to talk to other Amateurs throughout the world, with outstanding voice signal quality. The “Internet” key may be configured to send either a single DTMF digit, or a DTMF string, for operation on a WIRES™ (Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) repeater, or on other Internet-linked repeaters using DTMF tone access. For more information on WIRES™, please visit our Web site (www.yaesu.com), or send an e-mail to WIRES@vxstdusa.com.
WX Channels with "Severe Weather" Alert
A special 10-channel Weather Band memory bank is provided in the U.S. version, allowing quick access to NOAA weather broadcasts. When the 1050-Hz “Severe Weather” alert tone is transmitted, the FT-2800M may be configured to emit an alarm tone to get your attention quickly. With the “Weather Alert” feature enabled, the FT-2800M will scan the ten Weather memories, stopping only if the 1050-Hz tone is received.
MH-48A6J DTMF Direct Access Microphone

The backlit MH-48A6J microphone allows direct keypad frequency entry, or keypad memory channel recall. On transmit, the MH-48A6J allows manual entry of DTMF tones for autopatch use, and the FT-2800M also includes a nine-memory, 16-digit DTMF Autodialer. Four user-programmable “soft” keys on the microphone may be programmed for easy control of a number of different features, and the [A]/[B]/[C]/[D] keys replicate the functions of the keys on the front panel of the transceiver, for maximum convenience while driving.

FT-600

 

Compact High Performance HF Transceiver

The FT-600 combines the straightforward, practical layout of a commercial radio with the most-often-used features on the front panel. The simplicity of the front panel design includes two Up/Down buttons for frequency, memory, and band stepping, while four knobs control Clarifier, Volume, Squelch, and Tuning. Popular features include Direct Frequency Entry Keypad for quick QSY. 100 Watts Power output — the benchmark for amateur HF operation. And MIL-STD 810 — to meet rugged commercial-grade construction standards.

Download the FT-600 PDF brochure.

Front-Facing Speaker

For outdoor operation where noise is present, the front-facing speaker significantly improves the audio readability for the user.

100 Memory Channels

The memories are arranged in banks of 25 channels each, allowing you to sweep through them efficiently when seconds count.

Alpha-Numeric Display

An Alpha-Numeric label may be appended to a memory channel, to aid in channel recognition.

MIL-STD 810 Rating

The FT-600 meets the exacting requirements of the U.S. military's specificaitons for shock and vibration, ensuring you of reliability under difficult operating conditions.
