Thanks! Any idea why the different radios use different modulations?

The modulation type won't cause this as you wouldn't be able to tell
the difference in a reciever. Phase Modulation and FM Modulation with
75 uS pre-emphasis sound exactly the same. 75uSeconds is the time
constant of the RC network in the FM microphone audio circuit.

It's likely a difference in the receiver sections or antennas.

Hi, I have a Yaesu/Vertex VX-150 & VX-6R. Was looking at the manuals the
other day and noticed the different emission types. Essentially the 150
uses Phase modulation (G3E) and the 6R uses FM (F3E).

Will there be any appreciable difference in the performance of these
radios
because of this?

I have noticed that, using an interchangeable antenna, the 6R has a
greater
range than the 150, even though they're both supposedly putting out 5
watts.
Could the different emission types be the cause of this?

I don't know but I would suspect it is simply design considerations by
the design engineers.

Perhaps this will help compare FM to Phase modulation
as I remember it in collge

Phase modulation is simpler to implement, thus cheaper to build.
