Yaesu VX-120

The VX-120's hefty 700 mW of audio provides plenty of volume when operating in a noisy environment.

The VX-120 is supplied with a long-life 1400 mAh Ni-MH Battery Pack, for extended operating time during search-and-rescue or public service event operations.

The receiver's frequency range is 137-174 MHz, covering many public service, marine, and government channels.

To prevent an unauthorized person from using your VX-120, you may engage a security password that must be keyed in prior to operation, if you like.

The 200 memories may be partitioned into as many as 10 memory groups. Alpha-numeric labeling is available on all memories.

The 8-key simplicity of the front panel of the VX-120 means less confusion, and easier command key access when wearing gloves in severe weather.

In the U.S. version, a dedicated special memory bank of ten NOAA Weather Channels is available, with a "Severe Weather" alert capability.

Ideal for search-and-rescue work, the EAI feature can be commanded on so as to identify your VX-120, and engage your PTT and microphone, remotely in an emergency situation. So if you don't check in during a search, help can be dispatched, with the automatic TX function allowing others to perform direction finding.
