Serial Numbers

For all Yaesu/Vertex radios that I've seen, the serial numbers are in the format of YPXXXXXX where
"Y" is the production year, "P" is the production run and "XXXXXX" is the radio's unique number.

Alignment
Connect the radio to a regulated 7.5VDC power source for use on all steps. To access your Alignment
Menu, set the radio to the center of the 6M, 2M or 70CM band, turn the radio off and hold
[BAND]+[TXPO]+[0] while powering up. To move through alignment menu items, use the DIAL. Note
that the first few items (excluding HIS SQL) are not adjustable. To make an alignment, press [MR],
inject the RF signal of the center frequency and press [MR] to store the setting. On manual
adjustments, press [MR], rotate DIAL for desired setting, and press [MR] to store the setting. To exit
the alignment menu and save all changes, press [HOME]. Inject RF signals with a 1kHz tone at
±3.5kHz deviation. It is suggested that you refer to the "VX-5R Technical Supplement" provided by
Vertex Standard. I am not responsible for any damage you may cause your radio.
