Great HT minor flaws
Review by
Robert
Everything works great got it for C4FM our repeater has it so easy to program I only use the computer software to backup or move channels around if needed. Sure battery life is very low but there is the car charger and power cord that charges faster and can power radio while using it also take battery out while not using it. Only down side is the common crack in led lights doesn’t seem it would leak water into radio but a answer from Yaesu on that would be nice.

Excellent HT!
Review by
Peter
I am really impressed with the quality and features of this little HT. Audio on both tx/rx is outstanding, and performance on analog and Yaesu Fusion is excellent. Along with the HT, I bought the desk charger and programming S/W and cable, which makes setup a breeze. I always use low tx power, so battery life is OK for my use.

With all one's noted repeaters, and their settings, and whatever other channels, who has the time to spend half a day programming a radio?
Whether one is using Yaesu's PC-based programming tool, or the Chirp program, what a hassle. Like, seriously, a huge big hassle. One must literally follow the instructions half a dozen times before it will go through. Not to mention the juggle involved with putting the power cord/battery in/out/in/out. Not happy with that. If fast programming is important to one, do not get this radio.
Otherwise, very solid HT unit.

Battery
Review by
Rick
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.

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

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.
