In fact, I plan to set it to 0.5W rather than 5W. This is a walkie talkie and we usually hold it near our faces and brains. Can you imagine a 5W mini microwave oven frying our brains? Yeah, that is really what it is.

....to prevent frying of our brains!!

Well, that is my opinion anyway.

thank you all for ur reply..

in that case i can conclude that the walkie talkies that hit the 5W output range

IS NOT LEGAL! am i correct? because as i have seen in most models be it kenwood or other models the max it goes to as said by francis as well, goes up to oni 470Mhz.

which means our govt by law has disallowed walkie talkie of 5W to be used since the band that they allow do not fall within the range of the walkie talkie being sold..

am i correct? so in this case, then how come there are still sales on 5W walkie talkie still allowed? i'm not questioning it cuz i also really want to buy and i just want to know later if i do found in possesion of one, am i liable to be charged since it's against the law and things like that.

then what about those ppl who have owned one? now since u all said it, i'm pretty scared myself to get a Clonewood from jalan pasar.

pls advice. and how to escape detection if u have one? thanks.

YAESU VX-177

The VX-177 is an ultra-rugged 5-Watt 430 MHz hand-held ideal for use in the most demanding applications. Featuring big receiver audio (almost 3/4 of a Watt!) and long battery life, the VX-177 is protected against water ingress to IPX7 specifications (immersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes).

The VX-177 utilizes a 16-key pad for frequency and DTMF entry, as well as a wide variety of command functions.


200 Memory Channels
The VX-177 includes provision for storage of up to 200 memories, which may be allocated into as many as ten Memory Banks. Alpha/Numeric Labeling (up to six characters) of memories is also provided.

Wide Receiver Coverage
The VX-177 covers 409-470 MHz (U.S. version), so you can monitor commercial and government transmissions adjacent to the Amateur band.

Long Battery Life
The supplied FNB-83 Ni-MH Battery has a capacity of 1400 mAh for hours of operation after other radios have shut down with dead batteries.

Big Receiver Audio Output
The oversized internal speaker produces 700 mW of crisp, clean audio power, allowing you to hear important incoming transmissions even in noisy public service or emergency operations.

CTCSS and DCS Included
The VX-177 includes full-featured CTCSS and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) tone control systems, for easy repeater access and/or silent monitoring of busy channels. "Split Tone" mode allows you to encode CTCSS and decode DCS, or vice-versa. And a "Reverse Tone" mode may also be engaged, to silence your radio's receiver when a matching CTCSS tone is received (to avoid the annoyance caused by interference from a distant repeater during times of enhanced propagation).

And much, much more. . .
