Puxing 777 – VHF or UHF, handheld radio.

Here you see a picture of the Puxing-777. This radio is DIRT CHEAP and are manufactured in Asia.  It’s  two versions of this radio. A VHF version, and a UHF.

I bought the VHF for 70$ USD from www.asiaradiosales.com earlier this year and this is the best handheld radio I ever had.  For 70$ you have a radio, beltclip, a desktop-charger and a battery. If you want better performance I recommend that you buy a longer antenna. I use a 42cm long 2m/70cm antenna from Diamond and I am very satisfied with this setup. 

I can buy 4-5 of these radioes for the price of ONE Icom / Kenwood / Yaesu. So you really don’t mind of you drop the radio to the ground and so on.  

Some friends of mine use these radioes for hunting, maritime and as a police scanner. (They only receive!) so this is a multi purpose radio. Can easily program the radio by hand, or via a computer-interface. The puxing 777 also support repeater splits and CTSS tones.  Some versions have 1750hz for opening ham radio repeaters. 

buy one at www.asiaradiosales.com . Fast delivery and shipping included in the price !!
