Nice Old School Radio
Review by
Mark
I wanted a basic dual band radio that isn't a nightmare to program and operate. This is it. I am using it for a base with a Comet GP9 antenna, and it has not been powered off for about 3 months now, it is always on. It's easy to program and easy to navigate thru the menus. I run the radio on mid power all of the time and it stays very cool. The sliding mounting bracket is great. This radio has fantastic transmit audio, I get compliments all of the time. The receive audio is also very good, I am using a good external speaker. It's also nice the radio includes everything you need, all cables, mounting brackets for the radio body, and the face to remotely mount, unlike Icom where all those items are accessories. The only thing I don't care for is the programmed memory frequencies, when you reach your highest one, say mem channel 25, if you hit up again it does not go back to mem channel 1. You have to back up with the down button all the way back to mem channel 1. It's not a huge issue for me, but I just thought I would mention it. Other than that, I really like the radio, it's very nice looking, and the orangeish, red display is great. I am thinking of maybe buying another one to install in my truck while they're still at a reduced price. I've been a ham for 28 years, and I paid over $600 for my first Alinco 610 dualband mobile back in 1996. That's another reason why I think this radio is a good deal for the money.

RF Power Output
Review by

I like the radio, but the power output seems low. BTW, how do you update the firmware?

No Regrets!
Review by
Austin
I've had this radio for a couple of months now and I am very happy with my purchase. Menu is easy to navigate (even for a new HAM) and I have received excellent signal reports. I did purchase the RT systems programming software as well as the MARS MOD. Highly recommend this transceiver!

BAD-Yaesu is difficult to get returns
Review by
Jerry
Radio shuts off for no reason when in receive only. I tried to adjust settings and turned off the auto power off. It still shuts off - receive only - NOT the antenna. Changed to diff 12v power supply. STILL does same thing. I have 2 of same radios and both do same thing. Will NOT stay on. Trying to return to Yaesu but their response time is terrible. Would NOT buy again.

Great Entry Level Radio
Review by
William
This is a great entry level radio for a new ham or someone looking for a go-box unit. It sounds great and is easy to program with lots of memory space for both repeaters and simplex channels. I would definitely recommend this to a new ham for their first mobile.

Worth the MONEY!
Review by
CHAD
This is my 3 radio and my 1st Mobile, and I would say its work every penny. Easy to use and program. Also expandable with the data port on the back and easy to upgrade or swap with the new mount provided. I would say worth the couple extra dollars compared to the other basic entry level radios on the market.

Well built, easy to use FM analog transceiver
Review by
Steven
I lie the look and layout of the unit. Excellent receive audio. Easy to field program and I like the fact that it does not show the channels while scanning. Fast delivery!
