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 num-
bers.
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.

150 .
