I gifted me a new Yaesu 991a and I use it a lot on 2 meter sideband. My mobile is a 2 meter only Yaesu HT with a mag mount antenna on the SUV with a 20 watt linear amp. Cheers & 73 from K9POW in eastern TN
I’ve been looking at this rig on and off for a little while. No plans to purchase just yet but hope to in the future. Really looking forward to the review. Thanks to Jonathan for the donation and thanks again to Doug for these amazing videos!
It was very thoughtful of Jonathan to provide the FTM-500D. I can’t afford to go out and buy all these radios. I mainly focus on operating techniques, antennas, portable ops, microphones, menu optimizations, noise abatement, etc. But if someone sends me a radio, I will shoot some videos. Joel, KC4WZB, made the FTdx10, IC-7300, FT-991A, and FTdx101MP videos possible. Wendell has enabled me to cover the FTM-400XDR and Jonathan has enabled me tome to cover the FTM-500D.
Hello. Merci pour votre présentation. Le FTM-400 est arrêté depuis la sortie du FTM-500. Mais l'unité centrale du 500 sera t elle en mesure de remplacer les modules 400 qui sont dans le DR2-X ??! 73's from France Best regards
Do you have an FT5D? I do but I'm interested in the 880 Icom. If you don't want some kind of trade I'd be interested in just buying yours. Let me know. Thanks!
Thank you, Jonathan, W5GI, and all Patreon members. Looking forward to seeing more videos on this radio Doug. Best Ham radio UA-cam channel

Congratulations Doug! Interesting radio.Thank you Jonathan!
Thank you, Wendell! You and Jonathan have helped this so channel with substantive support.
Hi Doug,
Would be interested to see how that works with the satellites since I've heard it has full duplex. Stay safe. 73 WJ3U
I still have my Azden PCS-6000.
Nostalgic. Leading edge radios for that time period.
I have a FTM-500 and I do think the APRS and Winlink are easier than the FTM-400.

I have an FT3DR. I’m very pleased with it. There are videos about it here on UA-cam. I’m afraid the ID-880H is already spoken for. I’m donating it.
