1500 watts, that’s how much this new amplifier produces. The VL-2000 from Yaesu.

But to get the full 1500 watts, this amplifier wants 48 volts, and specifically from the VP-2000 matching power supply which in it’s turn prefers 240 volts. But if you only have 120 volts to give, you’ll still get 500 watts.

Well, here it is then. Then Yaesu VX-8GR.

Just like the VX-8R but now it has the GPS build in, but without bluetooth.

My first question was, where does the speakermic go? It goes on the side now, instead of on top because that’s where the GPS unit is located now.

More pictures here. The manual here.
