The VX-8DR APRS/GPS/Bluetooth Handheld Transceiver is an additional version of the VX-8R that includes not only its solid features and specifications but also new expanded APRS capabilities to meet the needs of even the most active APRS user. APRS Features of the VX-8DR compared to our VX-8R include: Smart Beaconing TM Function: When using APRS for position tracking, the beacon timing is automatically adjusted to your traveling speed and location to plot a smoother trace to match your position and movement on a map. The number of Station List memories has increased from 40 to 50. The number of APRS Message memories has increased from 20 to 30. DIGI-PATH route indication function: The APRS Packet data includes Digipeater routing info. Heads up compass display to the GPS Screen: Your traveling direction is always toward the top of the display. The Message received LED flashing rate is selectable. . *** Note: The VX-8DR is a true Quad-Band Radio but Yaesu advertises the unit as a Triple-Band cause you can only transmit 0.5 Watt on 220 MHz. Transmit Power: 50MHz = 1 Watt, 144 MHz = 5 Watts, 220MHz = 0.5 Watt, 440 MHz = 5 Watts
