The PX-777 is an excellent value for the radio amateur, and better than any other radio we've seen demonstrates that Chinese radio manufacturers have finally achieved the level of quality and sophistication that western consumers demand. This radio is easily a match for any of the current generation of entry-level Japanese models, and at a lower price.
The radio ships with a 1200 mAh Li-ion battery, but at a total of 8 ounces (227 grams) it weighs 1/3 less than the comparably-sized VX-150 despite having 70% more battery capacity.
A drop-in charger is included. The provided wall adapter is the standard US two prong type, and functions on 110 or 220 volts. The charger can also be used with any 12-volt, 1 amp source connected to its 2.1 x 5.5mm DC jack.
The speaker/mic connection is identical to the type used by most Kenwood handhelds.
Features include:
- 5 Watt output power
- 136 - 174 MHz frequency range
- 1200 mAh Li-ion battery
- 128 Memory channels
- Wide (25 kHz) or narrow (12.5 kHz) operation
- 3-color display backlight and backlit keypad
- PC-programmable
