BaoFeng Quad-Band Yaesu

Yaesu vx-8dr

Here is a little review by my own about the Yaesu quad-band baofeng radio. It's a bit expensive the list price is about 500$ on amazon but don't be intimidated by the high price. The technology this thing have is just amazing! Yaesu vx-8dr transmits on a 4 ham radio bands (50-54Mhz 6 meter, 144-148Mhz 2 meter, 222-225Mhz 1.25 meter and 430-450Mhz on 0.7 meter), and it receives 0.5-999Mhz. And the 1100ma lion battery makes this devices stay alive for hours. But some people decides to upgrade the battery to a 1800ma one which will increase the communication time even longer.

Description

 

  • The radio package includes: Home charger, 1100ma LioN battery, belt clip and antenna.
  • Built-in spectrum analyzer that supports 1200/9600 bps
  • Top of the line waterproof case
  • There is allot of accessories for this device such as a waterproof speaker-mike, 12V car charger, desk drop-in charger, bluetooth chip and the 1800ma hi capacity battery.

The amateur radios have been very popular for a long time and i know exactly why, its becouse it's the only thing that will always be ready to go when you need it. It wont be like those silly smartphones where you lose the signal every half hour. The baofeng radios will be your faithful old servant that never ever lets you down! So if you don't have any Ham radio at your disposal then for god sake go get one right away! You never know when the world will end and you wish you had a radio to contact the rest of the world.
