Leixen VV-808

N9XLC has posted about the VV-808 transceiver.  As he points out, this thing is small. I'm guessing from the pictures and the box that the manufacturer is Leixen, but there is no name on the radio. And we all know how these things get re-branded. The radio itself is $71 USD, but shipping is almost the same.




I'm going to assume the description of 136-174MHz or UHF: 400-470MHz is true and it is a mono-band radio despite some fuzzy language in parts of the listing. DHGate gives these specs:

In one word, this product is small but including all function useful for you.

  1. Interesting. They are also on Aliexpress for $68.55 shipped. I wouldn't mind getting one for a go-kit, or GMRS use.
