20 Most Recent Vertex Yaesu Radio FTH2009, FTH7009 Compatible Battery Questions & Answers

The dial is probably locked. Look for a little padlock symbol on the display. Check the user manual for Dial or keyboard lock. Generally on Yaesu radios you use the function key plus a keyboard key. If the keyboard is labeled, you should see something that looks like a padlock next to the correct function key.

Maybe with the drop the radio speake is out of place, did try to open the radio and find if the speaker is in its correct place? The speaker uses a spring connector and this can be out of place. Good luck

Not enough power. The radio requires a steady 12 VDC input, or in a vehicle, 13.2 VDC. You did not mention if this is a 25 or 50 watt radio. I guess 50 watt. This occurs often when the wire is too thin for the amperage required. Get thick wire or the harness may not provide enough amps and it will get really, really hot! The wiring harness from Vertex is the best one. If you have checked all your wiring AND the power connections, it is less likely a programming error. Let us know!

HI, I think the best is to make a reset to the unit, regards, Daniel https://www.rylwy.com/diy-magnetic-loop

Is it plugged in? Is not the server/plug that connects to your cable turned on? See if your power charger is turned on first. If it's not on, your machine might not be on either.

The new radios not being able to be programmed from the "old" ones often happens. The new radios require the newest software and are not backwards compatible. The new configuration file was done with your existing software, right? You need the NEWEST version of the software and that will work. You can program the old radios from the new software. So, get the newest version, then do a new config file and program all the radios from that file. If this does not work, contact a Vertex radio dealer. They may need to do the factory reset and program the radios. My favorite dealer is Event Rental in Portland, OR.

I found this info at: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/737199/Vertex-Standard-Vx-5500l.html?page=12#manual It's easier to read it there. DSUB 25-P Pin 13: TXDI [Digital Input for DATA Communications] TX Hi-speed Data Input Type (jumper JP2005). Input level 800 mV/600 Ohms, Max.input 1.2V Tx Low-speed Data input Type ( Jumper JP2006). Input level 40 mV/600-Ohms If the Jumper setting is "Low-speed Data" (JP2006 jumpered), this port is usable in the AUDIO (300~3000 Hz) range. If the jumper setting is "HI-speed Data" (JP2005 jumpered), this port is usable for 9600 bps DATA communications, because the filter and limiter are not engaged in the Audio line. Pin 14: DC OUT [13.4 V/5 V DC Output] Switched 13.8V output for supplying power to an accessory (jumper JP2008). Switched and regulated DC 5.0V output for supplying power to an accessory (jumper JP2007). Maximum output current is 200 mA Pin 15: IGN [Ignition Sense feature] The VX-5500 may automatically be switched to the STAND-BY mode when the vehicle's igni-tion key is turned on. Maximum current is 20 mA. This feature is only enabled on transceivers con- figured for Dual Deck operation. Ignition 13.8V Pin 16: NC [NO connection] A IN CCESSORY DSUB 25-Pin Operating Manual Reprint C ONNECTOR Pin 17: RX DO [Digital Output for DATA Communications] RX Hi-speed Data Output Type (jumper JP2003). output level 600 mV/10k Ohms RX Low-speed Data Output Type (jumper JP2004). output level 200 mV/600 Ohms If the Jumper setting is "Low-speed Data" (JP2004 jumpered), this port is usable in the AUDIO (300~3000 Hz) range. If the jumper setting is "HI-speed Data" (JP2003 jumpered), this port is usable for 9600 bps DATA communications, because the filter and limiter are not engaged in the Audio line. Pin 18: E [GND] Ground for all logic levels and power supply re- turn. Pins 19, 20, 21, & 22: DSUB 19, DSUB 20, DSUB 21 and DSUB 22 LOGIC level (+5V / 0V) output. The logic output appears at these pins when the front panel's PF key is turned on. The possible programming features (use CE49) are illustrated below. If the HA feature is assigned to these ports, a cur- rent amplifier must be connected between the Horn circuit and the port. None/A PORT/B PORT/C PORT/D PORT/E PORT/HA PORT Pin 23: EXT SQL [Squelch Signal Output] Open collector output. Max. sink current 10 mA. A Signal is present (Squelch is open): Level High No Signal is present (Squelch is closed): Open When you connect the solder jumper on JP2002, this port changes to PULL UP (5 V) output. This status can be changed by CE49 programmer. Pin 24: SP MUTE [Speaker Mute Output] Open collector output. External Speaker mute on: Level High External Speaker mute off: Open Pin 25: E [GND] Chassis ground.

what is the question?

Software is named CE45

First of all, technically, you can't use this radio to talk to anyone other than ham radio- that being said, if you want to proceed at your own risk. Ok, is your work radio an analog radio? Is it narrowband FM? Is it digital MOTOTRBO? Last two will make if difficult. Digital is impossible. Next, find out the exact transmit and receive frequencies for your radio. They may not be both the same if you have a radio 'repeater' your input frequency could be 5MHz higher than your receive frequency. And last- you need to know if your system has a "PL" tone (CTCSS, or DCS) subaudible tone that will break the squelch. So there are several variables that you will need your plant supervisor to relay to you. Good luck. You can probably get much of this info on line from radio reference.

It is most likely the encoder. It sends the signal to make the radios act like pagers. Two tone radios and pagers use almost the same exact format for programming. Has anyone worked on the base station or encoder? That is where I would start. Do you have the Vertex software and cables? It could be called a timing setting. This may not be a simple fix. Is there a service shop nearby? We've worked on pagers over 30 years and VX 231's for 12 years. They simply do not stop working unless someone adjusted something.
