VGC VR-N7500: APRS! Android, iOS, Bluetooth, Dual Band 2m/7cm Ham Radio Review

The VGR VR-N7500 is a 50 watt dual band radios that leverages android and iOS devices for advanced, yet simple controls using the large screens on your mobile devices. If you want a traditional feel, connect the VGC BHM-78 bluetooth mic and speaker for a handheld radio feel and control. I like the N7500, it's one of the first Chinese radios I tested in recent years that has a usable, APRS feature set. The VGC VR-N7500 can be found here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/?cmid...
