  • can u do aprs just from the vx-170 itself? plus i dont see any menu option for aprs

  • @808514 No you cannot, that's why I have the external tracker plugged into it here.

  • Another question, how do you have your power routed to the battery?

  • @whistlesun I ran the wire through a rubber seal underneath the dash into the engine compartment.

  • where did you get your ham radio? i'm trying to hind one for a reasonable price and im goona get my license as i am a storm spotter in iowa. please help!

  • @Sniper09Omega A ham radio shop in Austin, TX. Try googling a shop near you

  • @ChaseSevereWeather I agree, this person should have done his demo while stopped and not driving.

  • @NFSfan38 Check out AESHam.com and randl.com

  • Okay thank you de kd0hon

  • @whistlesun Mine is just sitting in that conveniently made area.

  • How do you mount the FT-2800-M.

    Many 73s de KD0HON
