The Yaesu FTA-750L is a VHF Airband Transceiver packed with features, plus it includes a 66 channel GPS receiver for reliable navigation. Boasting an oversized full dot matrix LCD display, the FTA-750L Airband Transceiver provides full communication on the Aircraft communications Band ("COM" band: 118 ~ 136.975 MHz) and additionally provides VOR and ILS navigation features on the "NAV" band (108 ~ 117.975 MHz), and waypoint navigation with the built in GPS receiver. The Yaesu FTA-750L includes NOAA weather band monitoring and the capability of programming up to 200 memory channels with a quick and easy channel recall feature. The brand new, easy to operate, menu system is icon driven making it simple to navigate through all of the powerful features this transceiver and GPS has to offer. Additionally the Yaesu FTA-750L can easily be reprogrammed in minutes using the optional PC Programming software and the supplied USB programming cable.
Features of the Yaesu FTA-750L Airband Transceiver:
66 Channel WAAS GPS receiver! The FTA-750L features an integrated 66 Channel WAAS GPS receiver providing the capability of quickly storing current position information as well as manually entering in waypoints for reliable navigation. When a waypoint is activated the navigation screen features a compass display with Bearing, Course over ground, distance and speed information.
GPS Position Logging operation! The FTA-750L includes a GPS Logging feature when activated automatically stores your position information at preset intervals. This is a great feature when backtracking is necessary.
ILS (Localizer & Glide Slope) and VOR Navigation! When the FTA-750L receives a VOR signal the display will automatically switch to the Navigation band screen, with CDI (Course Deviation Indicator) based on the received VOR signal.
Easy to operate! The FTA-750L comes configured with an easy to operate icon driven menu system. The displays and menu settings are logically configured for a more intuitive user interface.
Great display! The FTA-750L features a huge 1.7" x 1.7" full dot matrix LCD display with full backlight and dimmer. The high resolution display makes it easier to view all the great features the FTA-750L has to offer.
Well accessorized! Includes rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Battery, AC wall charger, DC Cigarette Lighter Adapter, headset adapter cable, alkaline battery case, belt clip, and USB programming cable. Everything needed, right out of the box.
The Yaesu FTA-750L features a IPX5 waterproof design protects it against rain and water jets. Great for flight line personnel, airshow use, and anyone using a transceiver outdoors where it may rain. In addition it's 800 mw audio amplifier makes the FTA-750L louder than any other handheld transceiver available today (for example, it's about 35% louder than the Icom IC-A23). The Yaesu FTA-750L is powered by a high capacity 2000 Mah Lithium Ion battery that will last over 12 hours between charges.
200 memory channels can be easily programmed into the FTA-750L allowing quick easy access to frequently used channels on the aviation band. Each "book memory" channel can be programmed into the unit using the included PC programming software and cable. All memory channels can be labeled with either a channel number assignment, operating frequency display, or an alpha-numeric channel name display.
Breaking the squelch threshold has never been easier. Press the Squelch button for two seconds and the FTA-750L's squelch remains opened for monitoring weak and distant signals. Pressing Squelch again restores squelch settings. This is TRUE one handed operation. No need to fumble with tightly spaced concentric knobs!
Receiver Battery Saver feature is designed to maximize the life of the transceiver's battery. When the FTA-750L is in the standby mode the battery saver de-energizes the transceivers circuitry, waking up at user selected intervals to sample for radio activity. If no activity is detected the FTA-750L goes back into its sleep mode. Current consumption is minimized, thereby maximizing battery life. This feature is only found on Yaesu's air band transceivers!
The FTA-750L can receive all 10 NOAA weather broadcast frequencies. The Automatic Active Weather Channel Locator automatically scans for active NOAA weather stations in your area when the Weather band is selected.

It's a great performer, worth the money. It would be nice if it had a color screen. The printed manual that comes with it could be better if it had examples for using. It met 95% of my expectations. I would be happy to purchase a better a printed manual from YAESU.

Q: Hi there, I lost the antenna to my FTA 750 spirit… How can I order another one?
A: We have the Yaesu BNC Antenna you can find here.
Q: Where can I purchase a replacement antenna? Mine is cracked.
A: You can find a replacement antenna here.
Q: Hi... It is not clear to me if the FTA750L has a complete GPS capability? i.e Would show the aircraft location on a map? Please advise accordingly? Thank you Ahmed
A: The FTA-750L does have an internal GPS receiver. It will show you the current latitude and longitude position, assist you in waypoint navigation, and includes a compass and data / cookie trail logging function, but it does not have a moving map display. You can read more about the GPS functions on pages 58 to 65 of the FTA-750 User Guide.
Q: what connection to headset is supplied with radio
A: This comes with a standard fixed wing headset adapter. It accepts the dual PJ plugs found on most general aviation headsets.
