VERTEX-STANDARD VXA-150 PRO V AIR BAND TRANSCEIVER 

Vertex-Standard VXA-150 Pro V Air Band Transceiver

Product Code: VXA150 Price: Check Latest   Powerful and Affordable Backup Communications   The VX-150 is an ultra compact FM hand-held providing up to five watts of RF power and a wealth of convenient features for the 2m amateur band. The VX-150 has rubber gasket seals around all external controls and connectors to help keep out dust and rain or spray, assuring years of reliable operation even in harsh environments.   Sixteen multi-function keys provide the ultimate in programmability, with 199 freely tun- able memories and two VFOs. All memories store repeater shifts or separate tx/rx frequen- cies, CTCSS (Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System) or DCS status. You also get one instant-recall “Home” channel memory and ten special purpose memories for limited subband tuning/scanning. Busy channel band or selective memory scanning is provided along with priority channel monitoring; 1 MHz up/down stepping; ARS (automatic re- peater shift) when tuned to repeater subbands; plus a top panel rotary dial for memory and frequency selection. The keypad serves as a DTMF encoder during transmission, and up to 9 DTMF memories can store 16 digits each for quick playback of commonly used numbers.   The liquid crystal display shows seven frequency digits, memory selection, CTCSS tone frequency, and includes a bargraph S/PO meter. Yaesu’s power saver system can be set by the operator for optimum sampling/standby ratio, or can be turned off for packet operation. And our new APO (Automatic Power Off) system shuts off the transceiver to avoid dead batteries if you doze off or are called away unexpectedly.   Operation under difficult conditions is simplified by a lamp button illuminating the display and backlit translucent keypad, diatonically assigned function-dependent keypad beeps.
