The VX-1 is ok, BUT the VX-2 is much better!
One thing is to get another antenna, I have several different types,
from a 3" rubber dual bander to one that is very flexible at 19".
TheVX-2 is nice that it can also recieve the AM/FM broadcast bands, and
has more than enough memory for you to store your favorite frequencies.

Hi

I will be taking my Foundation Licence exam next week. I want a small hand
held rig to start with which covers the 70cms and 2 metre bands.

Has anyone any comments on a Yaesu VX-1.

Has anyone got some ideas for other suitable rigs.
