Hello to the group !
Does anybody use the VertexStandard Pilot VXA-210?
My question: The manual says that the led on top of the unit will glow
green if it is receiving a carrier and the color will change to red when
transmitting. With my handheld the led is only glowing green when
receiving; the led goes out when transmitting. Is this like your unit

Two separate leds inside the lens, so could be a problem with one. Does the
unit actually transmit? If so, may be simply in the led circuitry for the
red led.

While I don't have a VXA-210, I do have VX-5R (amateur radio ht) and there
is indeed a method of enabling or disabling the led to save power, but that
action, which is #17 BUSY/TX LED on my unit, affects both colors so probably
isn't your problem. Even though different radios, Yaesu follows somewhat
closely the menu system on their radios, so you probably have this setting
also. You might cycle this setting to see if that affects the problem.
