Yet another wiki page about the yaesu VX-2 hand-held transceiver.

The Yaesu VX-5R, manufactured between 199x and 200x, offers a transmit frequency range covering 50-52 MHz, 144-146 MHz, and 430-440 MHz for European models, with US versions extending to 50-54 MHz, 144-148 MHz, and 430-450 MHz. Its receiver boasts an impressive wideband capability from 0.5 MHz to 999 MHz, with cellular frequencies blocked in some regions. The unit provides up to 5 watts RF output on 6 meters and 2 meters, and 4.5 watts on 70 centimeters, with selectable lower power settings down to 300 mW. This handheld transceiver utilizes a double conversion superheterodyne receiver system, featuring a 47.25 MHz first IF for FM and 45.8 MHz for WFM. Key specifications include a frequency stability of ±5 ppm across a wide temperature range and a current drain of 25-150 mA on receive. The VX-5R supports 220 regular memory channels with alpha tags, 3 home channels, and 10 NOAA weather channels, all stored in non-volatile EEPROM. Additional features include CTCSS/PL and DCS with tone search, ARS, ARTS, an internal voltmeter, and a Spectra-Scope. The device operates on a 7.2 VDC battery pack or 10-16 VDC external power, weighing 255 grams with dimensions of 58x88x27 mm. The VX-5R was also available as the metallic silver VX-5RS.

Personal review of the Yaesu VX-6R handheld transceiver

Demonstrates the construction of a custom programming cable for Yaesu VX-7R and VX-5R handheld transceivers, enabling computer interfacing for memory management and frequency coverage adjustments. The resource details a six-transistor circuit design, powered by the computer's RS232 interface, utilizing readily available and inexpensive discrete components. It includes a complete bill of materials, specifying transistors like the _2N2222_ and _2N3906_, diodes, and resistors, along with a matrix board layout for compact assembly within a 75x50x25mm enclosure. The guide provides practical tips for working with matrix board, such as scoring and snapping, track cleaning, and component soldering order. It outlines the specific connection requirements for both the VX-7R (via Yaesu's CT-91 breakout lead with a 2.5mm stereo jack) and the VX-5R (via CT-44 or a four-section jack), detailing signal and ground pinouts. The author successfully tested three circuits, documenting the one with complete two-way communication, allowing users to program their rigs with software like _VX-7 Commander_ and achieve capabilities beyond commercial cables, including band adjustments.

The antenna was built to be used for shortwave listening with a Tecsun PL-660 radio receiver. Later it was used with Yaesu VX-6 handheld transceiver and with Yaesu FT-817ND for shortwave listening.
