VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL 17Changing the Transmitter Power LevelYou can select between a total of four transmitter power levels on your VX-6R. The exactpower output will vary somewhat, depending on the volt-age supplied to the transceiver. With the standard FNB-80LI Battery Pack and external DC source, the power out-put levels available are:To change the power level:1. The default setting for the power output is “High;” inthis configuration, the LCD showsno indication of the power outputlevel. Pressing the [F/W] key, fol-lowed by the [ (LK)TXPO] key,will display the current power out-put level.2. Within one second of releasing the [ (LK)TXPO] key, press the [ (LK)TXPO]key repetitively; this will cause the power level “LOW1,” “LOW2,” or “LOW3” toappear.3. Press the [F/W] key, followed by the [ (LK)TXPO] key (repeatedly, if necessary) tomake the “HIGH” notation appear and restore High Power operation.1) The VX-6R is smart! You can set up Low power on the 144 MHz band,while leaving 430 MHz on High power, and the radio will remember thedifferent settings on both bands. And when you store memories, you can storethe power output settings separately in each memory, so you don’t waste battery powerwhen using very close-in repeaters!2) When you are operating on the “Low” power settings, you can press the [F/W] key,then press the PTT switch, to cause the VX-6R to transmit (temporarily) on High power.After one transmission, the power level will revert to the previously-selected setting.OPERATIONTRANSMISSION144/430 MHz5.0 W2.5 W1.0 W0.3 WHIGHLOW 3LOW 2LOW 1220 MHz1.5 W1.0 W0.5 W0.2 W
