Yaesu radio with Bluetooth and GPS Options

For those with extra cash here is a new Yaesu radio with Bluetooth and GPS options. List price on the radio alone is a tad over 500.00 The Yaesu VX-8R HT provides a full 5 watts FM on 50/144/430 Mhz plus 1.5 watts on 222 Mhz. It supports Bluetooth hands-free operation with the optional BU-1 and BH-1 or BH-2 accessories. There is also an optional GPS unit and antenna with loads of features.


Find it here.


Rather limited battery life, for those of us who go far. The multiband RX probably will not be selective enough to cut down on receiving off frequency transmissions when you're in the air. At least this was very much a problem with earlier Yaesu radios with multi-band capabilities. Small, but maybe too small (small battery).


I can't imagine that you would really be that interested in APRS (we tried this before with the Kenwoods).
