Small size is nice

  • By Lance from Artesia NM USA on Tuesday, May 29, 2018
  • Pros: Small size, good price, lightweight
  • Cons: none
  • Review: Simple and small size fits in your pocket. Comes complete with desktop charger. Sound is good, best thing is the ease of use, not hard to program. Yaesu is a giant in the ham radio industry and their quality bleeds over in the radio.

It does the job, but could be better

  • By Matt from Scottsdale AZ USA on Tuesday, December 1, 2020
  • Pros: size, easy to store and carry, has a desk charger and power cord
  • Cons: squelch is too hard to use, have to access thru the menu, hard to do while flying.
  • Review: So far I have only used it on the ground, the one time I tried to use it in the air, it would not break squelch at the lowest setting, it really should have a separate squelch control instead of trying to find it in the menu

  • By Luke from Ogden UT USA on Tuesday, August 27, 2019
  • Review: I really have not had any opportunity to use it, so don't have an opinion yet. But what little I have done with it, looks like it was a good buy. Your service was certainly fast and efficient and I look forward to doing business with you again.
