Charge Your Yaesu VX-6R & Other Yaesu Handhelds Using USB C Cable
Рет қаралды 3,637
6 ай бұрынFound this great way to charge your Yaesu VX-6R or other Yaesu handheld radios using a single USB C cable. The cable is specifically designed to ONLY output 12V or less to your device unlike some that can go over and damage or destroy your radio.
This is a great addition to your comms gear or emergency bag(s) so you can charge your Yaesu HT during an emergency.
** Warning: Always check the output voltage before using this cable on your Yaesu handheld radio. It is safer to use the USB C Power Meter for peace of mind **

Over 12 volts won't hurt anything. You can run the radio in your car from a cigarette lighter (without your thingy) and that provides 13.8 from your alternator. Straight from the VX-6 user manual: 5.0 ~ 16.0 V DC (EXT DC Jack)

Most radios allow up to 16 volts without damage. These connectors charge some Icom radios too. My IC-T8E & V85 charge nicely with it.

The VX6 can take 6-16 VDC input so it’s pretty tolerant. One more reason to love it.

Just curious, im looking at the vx-6r, what was the charge time for that? Just found your channel the other day. Great content! 73

Took approximately 2 to 3 hours charging via the battery bank.

Man this would be awesome if I could connect this from a battery pack to the charging station on my yaesu ft-4xr Any suggestions would be amazing!
@n3vanradio 5 ай бұрын
Not sure about the FT-4XR but you can charge your radios on the charging station using this method for the VX-6R and FT-5DR.

Awesome! Where’d you get the cable?

Got it on Amazon after research - USB C 12V USB C to 4.0 x 1.7mm DC Power Cable: amzn.to/3GB7uEA I would strongly recommend getting hte USB C Power Meter also just as an added protection.

I wanted to get this junk my friend who only has the Kenwood f6h. Will it work on that?
@n3vanradio 5 ай бұрын
Kenwood has a different DC plug but in theory it should work the same. Just get a 12V DC cable that matches the size the F6H accepts.

How do you get 12 volts out of a USB power brick. Isn't USB 5 volts?
@mikesey1 2 ай бұрын
There is a small 12v step-up transformer between the radio and the charger.

Have you tried this with the cradle?
@n3vanradio 6 ай бұрын
I have not. But it should work in theory. Will give it a try tomorrow and let you know.

@@n3vanradiojust got the vx-6r and just wondering before I buy the cradle, can you charge just a battery in the cradle or does the radio need to be attached? Thanks. Love the channel. 73
@ryanz6896 2 ай бұрын
@timk7749 The cradle will charge a battery alone, do it with my spare all of the time. I am currently using a wall wart to power the cradle.
