Deveria ter colocado a câmera de vídeo no "macro" para que a imagem não sair tremida. De todas as formas, muito obrigado para o vídeo. É o Yaesu VX-3, tem uma sensibilidade boa recepção?. Saudações de Asturias (Espanha). Muito obrigado.

This may be a dumb question, but as a new ham I don't understand what the advantage of getting a 2m/70cm only HT is when you could get something like a VX-8DR and have 50/144/220/440 for about $100 more, including APRS. With this particular radio, I'm guessing it's for size considerations, but I have seen others that are about the same size as the VX-8DR. Do some people not use certain bands ever? Why?

@BGAndrea availability of repeaters in your area may determine what you prefer. some cities' ham radio operators may use one band over the other.

Sweet piece of equipment, I am about to order one for myself together with SRH 519 antenna and some other goodies.
