Audio issues
Review by
Bob
Great little radio however, it has one bothersome issue. The reports on the audio are not complementary. Everybody says the audio level is low to terrible. Another ham just got one of these and he's getting the same reports. After studying it, I found if the battery voltage is 8.0 or above, the audio is good. Below 8.0 but above 7.5V, the audio is about half of full audio. Below 7.5 volts, the audio quality is terrible. This radio would be a solid 5 stars if it were not for this issue.

Direct interface isn't terrible. Radio is OK. The battery slowly drains itself when the radio is turned off. The computer interface is beyond disgusting.

I purchased a FT-3D as my C4FM radio. I'm older and don't have the sharp hearing and eye sight I used to have. The FT-3D audio was very hard for me to hear and took all I had to operate it out in the sun. I opted to add the FT-70 to my collection. Best move I've made. If you're into satellites, the FT-3D is probably your better choice, but for day to day use on C4FM, the FT-70 is great. Audio is sufficient and radio is easy to use, especially if you're a Yaesu HT user. Great radio.

Intuitive
Review by

Got the radio yesterday and was able to program easily. It is a goldilocks HT at this price point. Do yourself a favor and buy the SBH-28 Rapid Charger. If you don't have to have flashy color displays and a touchscreen, this is a great choice.

this is a very economic radio, the features on it makes a very good first digital fusion radio, overall excellent radio and fast shipping ;), only downside is the lack of a cradle

It's the family sedan of the Yaesu digitally enabled radios.

I purchased this radio from Gigaparts a few weeks back. It is a low price point way to get onto Wires, and get to work Yaesu Digital and analog. Not a lot of wiz bang features, but that is to be expected for the price. Having to adjust volume by pressing a button and turning the knob at the same time is odd. Audio is good. Hope it lasts as long as my still working FT60, which it replaced. If your on a budget this model should work for you.

GigaParts great chat staff
Review by
Bill
Just want to rave up the GigaParts chat staff. They're they best. Every time I get online with them I buy something, because they keep pointing me right to the item I want. Also love my Yaesu FT-70D, so not holding it against them. But I need to quit buying accessories, so don't take it personally if you don't hear from me for awhile. Although I am thinking about an exterior antenna now... But no.
