Product Details

The return of a classic model, the SS-158VDX retains all the advantages of its predecessor, the SS-158EDX. This reliable, mid-priced 10-meter AM-FM-SSB-CW mobile radio offers 25 watts peak AM, 10 watts RMS FM-CW, and 25 watts PEP SSB.

It delivers high performance with features such as a 6-digit frequency counter, Mic/RF gain, and dual finals. The SS-158EDX includes echo control and a talk-back switch, along with a blue frequency counter, channel display, and meter. 

Designed for easy mobile operation and offered at an affordable price, the SS-158EDX meets your needs for SSB mobile operation.The new generation SS-158VDX retains the traditional component main board and changes the frequency counter, channel display, and meter to white. 

Additionally, it adds Variable RF power output control to adjust your deadkey power and an auto-dim feature that adjusts brightness according to ambient light levels, enhancing the product’s practicality.
