Yaesu VX-170 HT (Handheld Radio)
Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:41 pm
I ave a Yaesu VX-170 2M HT still in te box.
The VX-170 is a compact, high-performance FM hand-held providing up to five watts of
RF power and wealth of convenient features for the 2-meter amateur band.
New and exciting features of the VX-170 are Enhanced Paging and Code Squelch (EPCS),
that allows you to page a particular station and only receive calls from that station, if
desired; and a security Password feature, that will allow you to turn on and operate your
transceiver only after you enter your Password.
Additional features include a convenient access key for Vertex Standard’s WIRES™ (Widecoverage
Internet Repeater Enhancement System), a transmit Time-Out Timer (TOT),
Automatic Power-Off (APO), Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), Vertex Standard’s exclusive
ARTS™ (Auto-Range Transponder System) which “beeps” the user when you move
out of communications range with another ARTS™ equipped station, plus provision for
reduction of the TX deviation in areas of high channel congestion. And an RF squelch
circuit allows the owner to set the squelch to open at a programmable setting of the SMeter,
thus reducing guesswork in setting the squelch threshold.
Price for OAUSA member only:
$100.00 + Shipping
I can take PayPal or Cash.
