Yaesu DUAL BAND 5W Handheld Transceiver C4FM FDMA / FM 144/430 MHz - FT-70DR
The new FT-70DR is a compact and very attractively priced YAESU System Fusion transceiver providing both conventional analog FM operation and the advanced C4FM Digital mode. The FT-70DR provides up to 5W of reliable RF power, and its large Front Speaker delivers 700mW of Loud Audio Output.
Because C4FM has better BER (Bit Error Rate) characteristics than other digital modulations, the user can expect exceptional audio quality. The new digital FT-70DR includes our unique Automatic Mode Select (AMS) function. AMS detects the operating mode of the received signal as C4FM digital or analog FM, and then automatically and instantly switches the receiver to the appropriate mode. Users do not need to manually change between modes.
The multi-colored LED Mode-Indicator displayed on the front allows the operator to easily see what mode the FT-70DR is in at any given moment. LED Mode-Indicator clearly and visibly shows the transmit/ receive mode by changing its color so that the operating mode of the transceiver is easily recognized at a glance. One of the other distinguishing features of the FT-70DR is Digital Group Monitor (GM) with DG-ID (Digital Group Identification) and DP-ID (Digital Personal Identification) now included in the FT-70DR, to simplify the GM operation.
Simply put, the transceivers selecting the same DG-ID or DP-ID can communicate with each other. Between 00 and 99 DG-ID and DP-ID are selectable which provides loads of flexibility so that users can enjoy group communication with friends in GM mode in accordance to their individual operational needs.

Purchased radio new and within 3 weeks I had to charge the radio 11 times. Found out the battery life on this radio is terrible. Sent it off to Yaesu as instructed, they had it 7 weeks, returned back with no update on problem that was found. I called them and they don't know. Shame on Yaesu for their terrible customer service. I own 7 Yaesu radios which I enjoy but found this to be the worst in battery life.

Review byGregory
I've had this radio for a week and I love it. True, it could use a 2200 mAh battery. I just got a second battery and rapid charger. That pretty much solved that problem. I was thinking of getting an FT-2DR, but it seems that high pitch squeal on the 2DR is absent from the 70DR. I have a Baofeng UV-5R. Sure it has a longer battery life and was only $25, but it sure does not have the sensitivity, nor the digital capability, nor the memory capacity, nor memory bank operations, nor so many more features of the FT-70DR.
All together, I see the FT-70DR as a great little radio. The fusion digital sounds fantastic.

Great new addition to the Yaesu fusion line, newly released firmware 11-08-17 adding wires x controls made this HT a even better buy! Check out the video below for a quick view of the FT70D

Great little radio, my new everyday carry
Review byN5ZAP
This has become my favorite radio for both Fusion and DMR. I use it with my OpenSpot on both modes and am very happy with my purchase. Audio has a little too much bass and distorts easily but I still grab this one first.

Battery life
Review bySeaborn
Overall great radio. Only problem is battery life. Just on standby 7 to 8 hours. Have baofeng uv-5rv2+ can get 2 to 3 days on standby. Maybe they will work on this problem. Oh well just my opinion.
