Yaesu FTM-6000R 50W 144/430MHz Dual Band FM Mobile Transceivers

Yaesu FTM-6000R 50W 144/430MHz Dual Band FM Mobile Transceivers are basic yet feature-packed, delivering reliable and stable 50W transmit performance. The heavy-duty heat sink is equipped with FACC (Funnel Air-Convection Conductor). The speaker delivers 3W of clear and crisp receive audio which has been specifically tuned for radio communication. The easy-to-read, large-character monochrome display front panel is detachable and can be mounted at the most desirable operating position. The FTM-6000R supports Bluetooth wireless operation with the optional BU-4 plug-in module and optional SSM-BT10 headset or a compatible, commercially available Bluetooth headset.

Employing a new user operating interface called E2O-III (Easy to Operate – III), the FTM-6000R provides three user-intuitive operating modes to assign functions and settings. The most frequently used function can be registered to, and then recalled with a single touch, of the F1 key. Other frequently used functions can be assigned to a Function List and then recalled by simply pressing the “F Menu” key and rotating the dial. All functions and items other than those registered to “Most frequently” or “Other frequently” are selectable by pressing and holding the “F Menu” key and rotating the dial.

Up to five channels can be registered in the Primary Memory Group (PMG). Frequently used PMG frequencies can be shown in an easy-to-distinguish display just by pressing the “PMG” key. The MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) function automatically groups memory channels so they may be easily recalled by band: All memory channels; AIR band (AM 108MHz – 137MHz); VHF band (137MHz – 174MHz); UHF band (400MHz – 480MHz); and other bands (174MHz – 400MHz / 480MHz – 999.995MHz). The new FTM-6000R VFO Band Skip Function permits unused bands to be skipped, while the registered memory channels can be recalled; even if the frequency is in the skipped band. By pressing the “SQL BACK” key when the memory channel is displayed, the contents of the currently selected memory channel can be transferred into the VFO register. Depending on the operating situation, either the VFO or Memory channel operations are separately useable.

Some of the other features of the FTM-6000R are: Wide-range receive coverage from 108MHz to 999.995MHz; 1100 Memory channels with alphanumeric tags; Scanning Functions – VFO Scan, Memory Scan, PMG Scan and Programmable Memory Scan.
