Yaesu VX-7R vs VX-8GR
A comparison of two ham radios that were my top picks for emergency preparedness. The VX-7R is the better radio, but the VX-8GR meets my radio needs and has more functionality. The built in GPS and TNC modem allow for APRS beaconing and messaging, which is extremely important to me. It allows me to carry less electronic equipment in my personal and professional duties.
