hmm, not sure if its because they have problems or if its just  because the
vx150 is one of the most popular HT's from yaesu. Because of the numbers of
units sold, there would probably be more of them...that and lots of folks i
bet are upgrading to the wide receiver coverage radios that seem to be
flooding the market at the moment.
