A practical product, nothing to complain about.

I take on every trip to nature (hunting, fishing, rides) the screen and buttons still look like new, but I want to buy a case. When using the basic Opec UVS-300 antenna, we were able to establish a connection with the echo repeater at a distance of 70 km!

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

A fairly large range of various functions allows you to use the Yaesu VX-6R in various areas: you can listen to the conversations of truckers (alas, you won’t be able to communicate), communicate with friends through Hong Kong repeaters (look on the Internet: Avtokanal, or search on the Radio Scanner), listen to the air range ( this is how I met my girlfriend. I hear the flight number requesting landing. Aha, so in 20 minutes you can start to the airport). actually, who knows, he will…

Pros
  • Great transceiver. Where ordinary walkie-talkies are not taken, he received it perfectly and transmitted it to the headquarters when searching. Convenient, compact, waterproof (up to a certain level of depth, of course). It has a huge amount of internal memory and cans for saving channels.
Cons
  • I did not find any shortcomings as such . unless it is very convenient to work with memory. As long as you save and store the data in memory, you will curse everything in the world. I found a way out of the situation - I bought a lace for programming and I work with memory through a computer. Very comfortably. The price tag is awful . :) 10 thousand to pay - the toad really suffocates)

Average quality of the product, especially for the money.

The radio has been produced by the company for many years. Hence the archaism, namely one receiver and an intuitively incomprehensible interface. To start using it to the fullest, you must first master a very thick instruction, which, by the way, the manufacturer for some reason did not consider it necessary to put in a box. The fattest drawback for me is that it is deaf at 27 megahertz to the standard antenna. Absolutely. At best, hear someone very close by. in principle, on a regular antenna…

Pros
  • Indestructible brick from a famous brand
Cons
  • It turned out that the murdered

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

Excellent radio station. Just do not turn on the service frequencies, firstly, they will track, and secondly, give a reason to switch to digital, and it is almost impossible to listen to it. Its pros: Made with integrity. Sturdy metal body, waterproof. Continuous receive range up to 1 GHz. Good sensitivity, seemed better than my AR-8000. Dual band transmission, high power. A bunch of all sorts of bells and whistles (see the manual). With its cons: I measured the power - it is unstable in…

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I bought myself two radios, I was lucky to find a Japanese assembly (although China may not be inferior, I don’t know), Regular antennas are universal in transmission - I bought whips "camet sma24" - they work perfectly, All information on the radio is on the internet and on the forums of radio amateurs, the radio is very common among the masses, Regarding the barometer-altimeter (if you need a barometer, then take it, if the altimeter is a useless thing, because even if you are in one place…

Pros
  • Pretty great functionality, communication range even to a standard antenna, compactness, everything is clearly assembled, 3-band + it is possible to open for transmission in the range of 222-225 MHz. (1.5W), there are really a lot of interesting settings, it is possible to install a Barometer-altimeter alloy body ., water protection (1 meter for 30 minutes), if something breaks, you can always find spare parts and repairs, time-tested. There was a confident transmission and reception for 20 km. within the city (I'm from an apartment on Nakhimovsky Prospekt - an opponent - on the Hong Kong Ring Road near the from the car, there are many examples .), the ability to scan the ENTIRE range (sea, pilots, telephones, radio channels, television, SV-band, etc.) e.)
Cons
  • For beginners, this is a menu loaded with functions, now they are assembled in China (although the iPhones are the same), I did not see any more shortcomings)))

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

this is my first radio. I took 4 devices at once - for myself, my wife and friends, and used them in the mountains of the Chamonix region. When fully charged, the radio shows excellent reception and transmission. The whole valley was confidently covered with reception, from the peaks of Breevnt and Aigul the reception was generally without interference. I was surprised by the device when we left for Le Tour (about 12 km along the mountain gorge, but without a direct line of sight to the place…

Pros
  • excellent reception even with a standard (universal) antenna, power (5W), support for the MIL-STD-810 standard (very convenient when riding in the mountains and active sweating and falling), small weight and size, magnesium (alloy) case. With moderate use, the charge of the radio is enough for the whole day.
Cons
  • not seen

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

Really a great device. There are a lot of things, such as reception from 500 kHz to gigahertz and a menu rich in goodies. Heaps of everything are missing, for example SSB / USB, CW modes for receiving and transmitting. It would be nice to think about working at 27 MHz. Although, of course, you can’t deceive physics and it’s impossible to cram everything you want without loss in something. All the best and good communication! 73! de RA0WKD

Pros
  • 1. Normal superheterodyne receiver unlike Chinese DSP. Good sensitivity + excellent selectivity, reception does not die when using a good external antenna (Yagi 7 + 4 elements) 2. Strong and waterproof case. It feels great both when conquering mountains and when cycling over 100 km: it survives showers, heat and falls without any problems. 3. Good regular gum. From the top of Bolshoi Borus (Altitude a little over 2022 m, f=145.300, P=5W) I calmly conducted communications for more than 100 km.
Cons
  • 1. The first plus gave birth to the first minus: Consumption in standby mode under 200 mAh, it will not work for a week to carry it on in your pocket, like the same baofeng. 2. Charging does not take place when the radio is on. Weak power supply included. 3. The flashlight function is completely stupid :)
