Description / Leixen VV-898 UHF/VHF Dual Band Mobile Two-Way Radio
Meet the Leixen VV-898, the extremely compact Dual Band UHF/VHF Mobile Radio that's also extremely affordable! With 199 memory channels, and up to 10 watts of power, the VV-898 is tiny transceiver that delivers big for little cost.
The VV-898 features 199 programmable channels with channel scanning, dual watch, CTCSS/DCS encode/decode, DTMF, and 1750 Hz burst tone. Other features include 65-108Mhz commercial FM radio, individual call, group call, user-defined channel names, VOX capability and an emergency alarm.
The Leixen VV 898 has a backlit front panel LCD display and a built-in 400mW speaker that belts out the audio. The hand microphone has a lighted DTMF keypad and is connected to a 23" coiled cord that stretches to well over five feet.
The best feature, of course, is its tiny footprint. Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, yet big on transmission, reception and overall sound, The Leixen VV-898 is a great choice for small vehicles and cabs with crowded compartments, densely-packed dashboards and cramped quarters where space is very limited. The included mounting bracket allows for simple installation and keeps your 898 securely attached where ever it goes.
The Leixen VV-898 comes with a DTMF hand microphone, DC power cable, mounting bracket, microphone hanger, USB programming cable, software CD, owner's manual and a one year manufacturer warranty.
NOTE: requires an external mobile antenna (not included).

Good little radio
Good little mobile radio especially if you are tight on space in a small car or Jeep. It is low on power I guess especially compared to most other mobile units, but I'm still able to hit all of the local repeaters. If you ever really needed more power you could hook up an amplifier. I only gave it 4 stars because of it's low power output. It should also be noted that you can get a Kenwood TM-281 for about the same price but it's not quite as compact. IMO they need to drop the price about another 50 dollars. The programing software is easy enough to use but to program the radio by hand without the software is very time consuming.
Great Tech Support for the VV-898
Nice small size that could easily fit in any hard to fit in car or compact. Very hard to follow the directions with the accompanying booklet both for software install and manual install. I called Cricket's 800 number and a gentlemen by the name of Patrick was kind enough to spend time with me and get it up and running. I would certainly buy from these guys again. Lousy booklet with the product...great tech support!
nice radio for a beginner
I just passed the test for my tech license and wanted a mobile radio and to not break the bank so i bought this one and have been very impressed by it no it does not have all the fancy stuff on it and programming manually is impossible but download the software and its pretty easy for a beginner. and i bought it with a free tramm antenna.
A great value in a small package
Use it every day and it is as good as radios costing three times as much. Hits all the repeaters in my area and audio always gets full quieting reports.
Great purchase from a good supplier !!!
* Best for 2 meter and 70 cm * Small and compact * No knobs, all pushbuttons
Nice Little Radio
It is my base station.
Leixen VV 898
As a Law Enforcement Officer it give me the opportunity to cover ept. Freq. with ease. The mic audio was a little low but was corrected by use of a Kenwood KMC35 mic. Just plug and play. It works great on the GMRS repeaters as well.
included software & cable
software & data cable would not run on my window 7 laptop ,tried 3 diff comp. with no luck . Can"t comment on the radio because I have not been able to use it
junk
no
It finally came now it's forsale
Seems like it might be refurbished seals broke screen has some small scratches, I'm going to take the loss and sell it locally not happy. But hey whatever. It powers up but it beeps and don't make a sound until key it again kerchunking is not good. So I'll save up for a better radio before I transmit again. 73 K0CEL
