Lol, Im still waiting to get a brand new FT1000D! 45 years later.
And I finally took the test and passed!
I'm now KD9UQE. Thank you for those prep videos
Have fun!
Thanks John & Jason. As we don't have any Yaesu Sales Reps here in VK Land, it's Great to see a Yaesu Rep on giving a run down on features of their New FTM-200DR.
Thanks again guys
THIS VIDEO is just what I needed to understand my radio. Thank you.
I just tried the digital on my ftm-200dr and it sounds amazingly clear .
Can Icom take note of Yaesu and include mounting brackets, head unit mounting, etc?? Jason, do you think you could talk some sense into them? Great video BTW. -73 W5SKK
Im about 2 weeks behnd atm, just watched it...bloody briiliant show mate. Excellent. I so want a FTM 2000 for my Ute....gotta get the ute first.....ute= what you mad yanks call a truck! 73 bloke. VK6MMB
Thanks!
Another great video, Jason. On pricing, I might be just unlucky but every mobile radio I am looking at has gone up in price. It doesn’t change my direction of what I am planning on, just extends the schedule of when. So my plan is to install antenna systems that can be grown into, like putting a Comet dual band 2m/70cm antenna in and use my HT (Anytone 878) initially while migrating to the mobile radio down the road. Again, I appreciate your videos and they have been very helpful letting me know my options. All the best, 73 de KI5HXM
Jason I enjoy your streams and videos I hope you are having a great 2022! 73 KC9QVE Kokomo,Indiana
Thanks for watching
@@HamRadio2 your welcome!
Love these video review/walk-throughs. This FTM 2000 is on my radar. If it did HF, I would already have one. I am a new Ham working on my General license now. I would love to do Potas, but it would be next to impossible with U/V only. I would love a shack in the box like the IC-7100 but I just haven't bought into the fact that you can't attach the head to the body, if you want to. My wife didn't bat an eye with me dropping $500 on the FT5DR, but I don't want to push my luck telling her I need to purchase an HF radio and a dual band radio. Too many decisions...LOL.
thanks for the rundown. I'm a new ham, general. I've been looking at the FTM-400XDR for use on my upcoming RV adventure. I want the APRS for our kids to keep tabs on our location. I've not bought yet as I don't have an immediate need and the price. Now I'm looking at this radio, the FTM-200DR and am wondering if this radio might be better suited for a new ham for mobile radio price and features. -73 KO4VNK
Begging for an update to the ftm 400.. the best of them all
Y guy right. Y is bringing newer product to market.
That said, Y needs to introduce:
1. A mini dual band mobile like the B-Tech 10-25W.
2. All mode 2m all mode. Dual band?
I do have 80w 2m Y rig. Love it. George Jetson easy to use.
Y in the 1980's hadcsome "manpack" all mode for various band.
I could see Y making a low power rig, but have it so you can attach an amp/tuner. Base rig under 20w, then the amp sends it to 50 to 100w.
Have 2mike ports great. On my Icoms mobils I can use one mike port for mike, second for TNC. More options good.
This Y does have a digi port. Good.
I would like to know if the Bluetooth system is still a failure? Does connect now with any devices except the yaesu earplug?
I like the Mike on the control head,
Same
Just received a ft5dr love the radio. Bluetooth for me is kinda a after thought but just out of curiosity what non yaesu Bluetooth headsets are compatible and which one's sound the best?
New Yaesu memory banking - carry multiple SD cards to load setups if your mobile radio happens to go mobile for city/county or trip setups.
I like that my 400 xdr has the mic going into the body but if the transmission tunnel weren't such a perfect place to mount a radio in my '16 f150 I might feel differently. I might buy the discussed radio for my '14 accord 6spd. I like to save the SCU for firmware updates and use the sd card for configuration changes.
Wish Fusion was available in my city. It's by far the best digital mode in terms of ease of use and set-up. Closer to discord than all other options. Unfortunately, I can only use it at home with my hotspot.
So the 400 has been out since 2013... so when's it getting an upgrade?
Good question
im curious on how the aprs works? I like riding around beaconing so that I can make contacts. I currently use a icom 2370 with a mobilkind tnc but if i go to voice and forget to turn off aprsdroid its gets messy. I would not mind this radio if I could beacon on the b band but does it still receive messages or anything?
I'm waiting on the replacement for the FT-857D that adds Fusion
FT-991a
I want a radio like that so I can use it for mobile and the 991A won't fit in my 2013 Toyota Tacoma.
Question, this radio fully aprs capable
Please mention the low level Hum/Buzz noise when in DN mode that is not present on FM.
THANK YOU.. DES CREAN,, BELFAST ,, IRELAND
Hey, John. Update the FTM-400, please!?
Y and others need to have a Maestro type control box. Can control multi rigs with one interface.
That Bluetooth thing is a show stopper. We should be able to control radio from a phone or tablet via Bluetooth or WiFi. Yaesu is old school behind times.
Why do they ignore the needs of ham radio operators? TNC is the one of the needs.
And multiple analog modes.
cross band transponder function is present?
No
Why is the Yaesu rep making so many negative comments toward customers
Hi I'm getting really in radio hoping to get licence
for a few bucks more you have the 300 which has an extra transceiver. I don't see why one would buy this one.
“Can’t test 3rd part devices” wtf I work for a much smaller company and that is literally half my job. The minimum I’ve ever tested personally in a year is 38,000. I think that’s rounding down. I’m one person. I test products that have sold or are predicted to sell less than 1 million units. They usually exceed that number so I round up to 38,000,000 units sold (in hand, not store) basically the population of California! Multiply my part time work with 8-12 other people… I’ll say 10, that is 380,000,000 units. Over the population of the United States of America.
We only sell in North America and the UK but our upper average is well within GC
Same price as the FTM300 in the UK for less features. No logic to it??
This "camera" mic is widely unavailable and expensive. I hear the camera never really was very good. So, Mr. Yaesu guy why not come out with a camera-less model for say $40 USD instead of leading us down some rabbit hole of further disappointment?
And while I'm asking for miracles can we get a firmware update to the FTM-300 that will add the PMG? Please! Look, I'm begging! On my knees. Help us Obi-Wan you are only hope!
$380 is a bit pricey for a noob though who wants to get their feet wet.
I do understand that Yaesu cannot test all Bluetooth devices, but find the answer a bit blunt and lazy. Why not set up a knowledge database, so users can give feedback about working devices, so future buyers can check if their gear can run on the FTM-200DR or whatever Yaesu radio can be included in the database. This is a kind of action the buyer can value instead of just waving the item away and leave the guessing to the customer.
That guy is pretty clueless about Bluetooth. Don't expect much from a salesman. How come small Chinese companies can get it right. You can even do APRS messaging via Bluetooth from your phone or tablet. Yaesu are bunch of technology dinosaurs.
Get prepared to do a video next time.
Oh I will continue to do that, just like I did this time, and last time, and several times since this video was recorded.
As far as the digital fornats go, Fusion C4FM is supposed to be easy but it's pricey for noobs.
DMR is cheap.
You work for Bridge Com ?
@@frankpeletz1818 No.
10 Minutes in and all I'm getting is that the Yaesu guy hates his customers. Maybe be a little more polite and understanding of your customer's views..? Never been a Yaesu person but that attitude turns me off even more.
I'm not sure what video you're watching, tbh
Huh? I never got that vibe whatsoever…
Anyone have a nice FT8900R for sale?
I suppose you dont have the balls to remind this guy in front of your audience that many folks are getting a buzz/hum on digital mode??
You would be mistaken, then
another shit radio from yaesu. build a radio all mode vhf uhf. what about a radio like icoms 705. menu after menu come on yaesu. touch screens. i would not have any of these rigs in my shack even if they were free.
