[Yaesu] New Yaesu HT to be released soon

[John Geiger]

Just got back from Hamcomm in Dallas and saw the
newest Yaesu HT to be released-the VX170.  Haven't
even seen it advertised yet.  It is a 2 meter only HT,
a little taller than the VX150, but with a much bigger
display on the front panel.  It is also waterproof to
3 meters, and comes standard with a 1400mah NIMH
battery.  It was pretty neat looking, but really don't
know any of the other specs, as there was no
literature there about it.  The rep said it should be
available for sale in 3 to 4 weeks.
