YAESU - VX-150 - 144 MHz VHF HANDHELD TRANSCEIVER WITH 16-KEYS KEYBOARD FOR DTMF TONES AND FREQUENCY ENTRY
A rig out of production but fortunately still in our warehouses for the joy of those who want a transceiver built with military criteria and technical features of great quality, which justify the price significantly different from Chinese radios that look like toys when compared to this one.
HIGH-SPEC 5-WATT 144 MHZ HANDHELD
Compact yet incredibly rugged, the VX-150 2-meter handheld is derived from our Vertex commercial transceiver line, providing exceptional receiver performance along with clean, clear transmit audio. Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, the 16-key VX-150 is constructed inside a die-cast aluminum housing, with a large, high-output speaker delivering commercial-grade audio. And the illuminated keypad provides easy viewing during nighttime operation. You need a radio that's as tough as your operating environment; compare the features of the VX-150 to other handhelds, and you’ll see that there is no comparison!
