Video Rating: 4 / 5
Nice one James
Nice Job
Well done! Thanks.
Nicely done.
it is receiver only or also can communicate with others just like normal 2way walkie talkie???
CAN YOU RECOMEND A CHEEP COOL LOOKING WALKIE TALKIE AND IF ITS RETCHARGEBLE
what is the range on a set of this radios James, 73’s to You James.
Baofeng UV-3R ….Please don’t assume its going to do all the things a high quality Yeasu is going to do. Its a Chinese copy of a Yeasu….25-40 pounds.
YEASU? :D
My main issue with the “big three” is price especially where handhelds are concerned. The VX-8D looked like a better handset than the VX-8G but to have GPS on the 8D it would cost an additional £150 and the accessories (speaker mic etc) are not compatible with my two VX-150’s which are still going strong! So for an APRS mobile I think I’d go with the 8G.
I also have a Wouxun UVD1P and has proven to be a decent handheld. RX and TX it seems to be just as capable as a handheld by the “big three”.
What is the range of your VX-8?
Thanks,
Great video!
pero que cara de panoli tienes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hy 2e0bmi!! Thanks to you I have bought some months ago a yaesu vx8E!! It’s wonderful!!!I’m loving it and taking pleasure use it everywhere in everyway (also with APRS)!! But I’ve some question for you:
-the first one is: have you found some problems with ROS on high power trasmission??
-How can you turn the display on blue?? I can’t find the way on the menu !!!

Looks like a nice radio..But a Ht with 6 meters that is a total waste.On 6 meters u need at the very very least is a full size 1/4 wave whip.
Have a look at the VX-8G, It has built in GPS but no 6m (I didn’t care about that) and isn’t submersible (conforms to IPX5 though).
Portable radio set Yaesu VX-7 how much far allowed to conduct good communication?
I have a VX-7R ,but the screen is going bad, so I’m getting the VX-8R as a reward of getting my General class. They do over price the gps and the adapter, the external mic and and the programning CD.
бля такой доход, а с такой серьёзной радейкой. Пиздец амеры ахуели. Пора пару килотонн на вашингтон ебануть
What is your antenna?
I was wondering about the Yaesu vx8 series,…but ended up with a vx7r i realy dont care about BLUETOTH and GPS and that ARPS… i was just looking for a disent radio for a newbie.
If i seriously get into this, i will probobly get somthing bigger sonn anyway 🙂
73 from Norway
You said miles. I rather expected you to say kilometres.
u in australua if so i will see u sooon 😉
u seem like a cat whit this eyes… nice radio… man..
Great vid mate Im in Australia, wondering if the VX-8DR will accept Australian UHF frequencies, 476.000 MHz and above ..?
cheers James, I am going for my first licence soon , and I ‘m really interested in mountain top dxing , are the menu’s reasonably easy ?or just long winded? I shall probably make my own antenae later. Thanx for a great review…I have lots to learn, and this seems like a quality transceiver .btw I am in U.K. Hampshire ( not many mountains! lol ) cheers.. 🙂
