Introduction
Features of this transceiver
144/430 MHz dual-band transceiver equipped with standard C4FM digital
communication modulation
Clear audio and data communication are achieved using the digital modulation
functions
Wide-band receives in the 108 MHz to 999 MHz range (air band, information wireless
band)
Transmit power 50 watts with cooling fan
The dot matrix LCD is mounted on the front panel
500 memory channels in the A-band and 500 channels in the B-band
Your frequency memory channels and transceiver configuration settings can be backed
up using a micro-SD memory card. The data on the micro-SD memory card can easily
be copied to other transceivers
A choice of scanning functions (including VFO scan, memory scan)
Built-in GPS receiver unit displays your station location and movement information.
Connection to external GPS devices is enabled.
Incorporated APRS® function enables data communication of location information and
messages
*Refer to the separate “APRS Instruction Manual”
GM (Group Monitor) function in which frequently communicating members can be
registered as a group, thereby allowing location information and messages to be
exchanged
*Refer to the separate “GM Instruction Manual”
Supports Yaesu WIRES-X Internet linking, enabling communication with remote
partners via the Internet
*Refer to the separate “WIRES-X Instruction Manual”
Bluetooth adaptor unit BU-2 (sold separately) permits hands-free operation

Introduction
Important precautions for mobile transceiver operation
The use of protective tape or covering is recommended to protect the wiring and the
power cord inside the vehicle. If precautions are not taken, the power cord may rub
against sheet metal causing the wires beneath the cable sheathing to become exposed
resulting in fire or equipment failure.
Install the antenna and co-axial cable, which radiate radio waves, away from the
control unit and wiring harness.
When installing the unit inside a vehicle, position the transceiver, antenna, and co-axial
cable at least 20 cm away from the following equipment:
When installing the transceiver or a separately sold product, place all cables so they
do not entangle or impede the driver or passengers.
When installing the transceiver or a separately sold product, never install in a location
where it may pose a danger to the passengers, where it may interfere with driving, or
obstruct the driver field of view.
Failing to take precautions accordingly may result in a vehicle accident.
When installing the transceiver or a separately sold product in a vehicle with air bags,
avoid installing it in a way that it may interfere with proper operation of the air bags.
After installing the transceiver in the vehicle, check that, for example, the brake lamp,
head lamp, turning indicator lights, and wipers are functioning properly while the
transceiver power is switched on.
When using the transceiver, if it appears to have abnormal effects on the control
equipment of the vehicle, stop the engine, turn off the power supply, and disconnect
the power cord.
Keep full attention on driving and refrain from operating the transceiver controls or
looking at the transceiver while driving.
Always stop the vehicle at a safe location before operating the transceiver controls or
looking at the display.
Do not drive the car in such a way that external sounds required for safe driving cannot
be heard. Most areas and states prohibit the use of earphones and headphones while
driving.
When using the transceiver in an electric or hybrid vehicle, noise from the inverter built
into the electric or hybrid vehicle may cause interference to reception.
