YAESU VX-170









The VX-170 is a compact, high-performance FM hand-
held providing up to five Watts of RF power, along with
big audio output (700 mW) and unmatched protection
against the elements!

Protected against water ingress to IPX7 specifications
(submersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 3 feet),
the VX-170 features long operating time, thanks to the
supplied 1400 mAh NiMH Battery Pack.

The 16-key VX-170 includes direct keyboard frequency
entry and direct DTMF input, along with quick, one-
touch access to YAESU’s exciting and fun WiRES-II™
VoIP Internet Linking system!


Submersible!
The VX-170 conforms to IPX7 specifications for
submersibility (submersion for up to 30 minutes at a
depth of three feet).
Outstanding Receiver Audio
The VX-170's hefty 700 mW of audio provides plenty of
volume when operating in a noisy environment.
1400 mAh Battery Pack Yields Long Operating Time
The VX-170 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.
Expanded Receiver Coverage
The receiver's frequency range is 137-174 MHz,
covering many public service, marine, and government
channels.
User Password
To prevent an unauthorized person from using your VX-
170, you may engage a security password that must be
keyed in prior to operation, if you like.
200 Memory Channels
The 200 memories may be partitioned into as many as 10
memory groups. Alpha-numeric labeling is available on
all memories.
Keyboard Frequency Entry
Operating frequencies may be entered directly from the
front panel keypad, which may also be used for quick
recall of memory channels by number.
Weather Broadcast Channels
In the U.S. version, a dedicated special memory bank of
ten NOAA Weather Channels is available, with a "Severe
Weather" alert capability.
EAI (Emergency Automatic ID) Feature
Ideal for search-and-rescue work, the EAI feature can
be commanded on so as to identify your VX-170, 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.
The EAI feature is not included in the U.S. version at
this time.
