Free Radios!

Greetings to all,

Free radios!  Thanks to Lee, N4TCW, again this year there will be a license testing radio giveaway at the Miami Hamboree.  There will be one Yaesu VX-150 Two meter handheld for each testing session (2 sessions) and one special drawing for a successful applicant under the age of 18.  This is for first time licensees only. 

HIGH-SPEC 5-WATT 144 MHZ HANDHELD Compact yet incredibly rugged, the VX-150 2-meter handheld is derived from our Vertex commercial transceiver line, providing exceptional receiver performance along with clean, clear transmit audio. Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, the 16-key VX-150 is constructed inside a die-cast aluminum housing, with a large, high-output speaker delivering commercial-grade audio. And the illuminated keypad provides easy viewing during nighttime operation. You need a radio that's as tough as your operating environment; compare the features of the VX-150 to other handhelds, and you’ll see that there is no comparison!
bulletDirect Keypad Frequency Entry: The VX-150 includes a 16-key keypad, providing both direct frequency entry and fingertip DTMF control on transmission. And a 9-memory DTMF autodialer allows simple access to autopatches or Internet Linking nodes such as the Yaesu WIRES-II system.
bullet5 Watts Power Output: The VX-150 puts out a maximum of 5 Watts of clean power, with selectable power-saving choices of 2 Watts and ˝ Watt also being available with the touch of a front panel key.
bullet209 Memories: The versatile memory system of the VX-150 includes a total of 209 channels that can store frequency, CTCSS/DCS information, repeater shift, and a 7-character alpha-numeric label to aid in channel recognition.
bulletWide/Narrow Deviation Selection:  For operation in narrow-band channel situation, the VX-150 includes both Wide and Narrow deviation selection capability, to ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.
