Specification
Submersible!
The VX-120 conforms to IPX7 specifications for submersibility ( submersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of three feet) .
Outstanding Receiver Audio
The VX-120' 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-120 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-120, 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.
Ease of Operation
The 8-key simplicity of the front panel of the VX-120 means less confusion, and easier command key access when wearing gloves in severe weather.
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-120, 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.
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-120 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.
