Yaesu vx-170/e vhf 5W handheld radio tx: 136~174MHZ


The VX-170/E is an ultra-rugged 5-Watt 136~174MHz hand-held ideal for use in the most demanding applications. Featuring big receiver audio (almost 3/4 of a Watt!) and long battery life, the VX-170 is protected against water ingress to IPX7 specifications (immersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes).
The VX-170 utilizes a 16-key pad for frequency and DTMF entry, as well as a wide variety of command functions.
Submersible.The VX-170 conforms to IPX7 specifications for submersibility (submersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of three feet).
200 Memory Channels. The VX-170 includes provision for storage of up to 200 memories, which may be allocated into as many as ten Memory Banks. Alpha/Numeric Labeling (up to six characters) of memories is also provided.
Wide Receiver Coverage. The VX-170 covers 136-174 MHz (U.S. version model only cover TX: 144-148Mhz), so you can monitor commercial and government transmissions adjacent to the Amateur band.
CTCSS and DCS Included. The VX-170 includes full-featured CTCSS and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) tone control systems, for easy repeater access and/or silent monitoring of busy channels. "Split Tone" mode allows you to encode CTCSS and decode DCS, or vice-versa. And a "Reverse Tone" mode may also be engaged, to silence your radio's receiver when a matching CTCSS tone is received (to avoid the annoyance caused by interference from a distant repeater during times of enhanced propagation).
