YAESU VX-8DR 50/144/430 MHz w/Extras. Many extras are brand new. This radio is in excellent physical and working condition. It has been well taken care of and spent its entire operating life in the included leather case. I live in Florida, so upon very close inspection I found a couple of light scratches on the screen which I honestly did not notice until removing the case and are entirely unnoticeable when operating the radio. You cannot tell they are there unless you shut off the radio, remove it from its case and inspect it very closely. Other than that, the radio is in like new condition. They really don’t make radios like this anymore. They are fully submersible, Made in Japan, super rugged. I never tested its full capabilities and abused it in the environment in that regard, but I’m sure if you wanted to you could. They just don’t make them like this anymore.
