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.

Split Tone Capability

Besides the usual CTCSS and DCS Encode/ Decode features you' ve come to know and love on a Yaesu transceiver, the VX-170 includes a " Split Tone" capability that allows you to Encode a CTCSS tone, and Decode DCS, or vice-versa. You can also Encode ( without decoding) either CTCSS or DCS.
