YAESU VX-177 VHF 409 - 470 MHz WATER PROOF NEW MODEL
The VX-177 is an ultra-rugged 5-Watt 430 MHz 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-177 utilizes a 16-key pad for frequency and DTMF entry, as well as a wide variety of command functions.
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.
The VX-170 covers 409-470 MHz (EXPORT. version), so you can monitor commercial and government transmissions adjacent to the Amateur band.
The supplied FNB-83 Ni-MH Battery has a capacity of 1400 mAh for hours of operation after other radios have shut down with dead batteries.
The oversized internal speaker produces 700 mW of crisp, clean audio power, allowing you to hear important incoming transmissions even in noisy public service or emergency operations.
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).
