Another antenna would definitely be better. Because I also own an FT-60R, I'm using a Comet model SMA-3 HT antenna with either radio. Another consideration is...
J-pole antenna is best. I used to have access to a beaut that was only about $30, but the guy retired. Good luck. Also there is a recipe for a j-pole...
I am using a Larsen Kulduckie KD13 halfwave end-fed antenna with the VX-150 with really excellent results. I'm getting several dB (estimated) over a...
I would say that the top accessory would be the heavy leather case...this will really protect the radio and keep it from getting all scratched up. In second...

I had Texas Towers order a leather case for my VX-150. Well worth the price, very heavy duty. Paul N8LGL Astech Excavating and Trucking Chillicothe,Ohio...

I am a new owner of the vx-150 and I am also a vol. firefighter in texas. I bought the radio thinking it would work on my fire dept. freq. For some odd reason...
