![]() Your handheld in your vehicle or experimenting with homemade antennas, you are Improve the overall performance of the radio and should help you get some extra SRH320A 144/220/440 MHz Tri-Band Handheld SMA Antenna. Things up a notch we really like the Diamond Provides pretty good performance across all three bands, but if you want to kick The Yaesu VX-6R is a pretty damn good radio right out of the box, but as with all radios, there are some add-on accessories that can really make this radio sing! It has several really helpful memory banks including 900 “standard” memory channels, 99”Frequency Skip Memory” Channels, 11 “Home” Channels, 50 PMS Channels, Weather Broadcast Channels, 89 Shortwave Memory Channels and 281 VHF Marine Channels.įor a prepper this is helpful as hell I like scanning the bands but when you really need to find something, having all of your go-to stations programmed into the radio for quick access can really be helpful during an emergency situation. One of the things we really like about the VX-6R radio is how the memory bank is setup. On a lot of radios the memory just sucks. Have room to pre-program the radio with repeaters along your bugout routes. Simplex frequencies, weather channels, and law enforcement stations, and then still From a prepper’s standpoint, we like thisįeature because it allows you to program a huge amount of local repeaters, Huge Memory Bank: The VX-6R has a gigantic memory bank, with the ability to That makes it great for those who are operating in bad weather, near Solid Weatherproof features of the Radio: It’s JIS7 Resistant, which means you can actually drop the radio into waterĪnd nothing will enter the casing or touch the internal components of the The TX and RX range is awesome.The ability to be able to transmit on threeĭifferent ham bands and then gather intel from such a wide range of frequencies On top of giving you a wide range of operation on UHF/VHF Ham Bands, the radio is also great for monitoring and pulling in stations with a receiver range that covers 504kHz to 998.99MHz.Ī Preparedness Standpoint, there are a couple of things we really like about The Yaesu VX-6R is a Tri-Band Radio that allows you to transmit on 2 meters (144MHZ), 1.25 meters (220MHZ), and 70 cm (430MHZ). The radio is weather-resistant (they claim submersible in water), built like a tank, can transmit on 2 meters, 1.25 meters, and 70 cm, and has a huge memory bank for storing a ton of easy to access emergency frequencies. So I went looking for a rock-solid radio that I could trust as my go-to bug out radio and found what I was looking for in the Yaesu VX-6R. Unfortunately, a lot of modern radios areĬheaply made garbage – hey, I own a few too I’m just not going to trust them ![]() Radio for preparedness purposes you want something that you know is going to ![]()
