Yaesu FTM-200DR Dual-band Mobile C4FM FUSION Radio
On February 16, 2022, Yaesu Company launched a high-definition full-color TFT display, which is simple and intuitive to operate and powerful. The C4FM digital/analog FM compatible 144/430MHz band mobile phone (2 band switching) announced that the "FTM-200D series" will be released at the end of February. It is equipped with broadband reception function that covers continuous coverage from 108MHz to 999.995MHz. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (tax included) is 20W FTM-200DS: 65780 yen (RMB: 3606 yuan), and 50W FTM-200D: 71280 yen (RMB: 3908 yuan).
As early as February 2020, Yaesus released the C4FM/FM mobile phone "FTM-300D series " that can simultaneously receive two bands of the 144/430MHz band, which has received good reviews. However, this time the FTM-200D series is its sister radio station. The size of the new product can be separated by the main body and controller is the same as the FTM-300D series. However, it is said that the operability has been further improved, and the receiving band can be switched (incompatible with receiving two bands at the same time).
Let's take a look at some specific parameters of this station:
Dual-band 50W 144/430 C4FM/FM Digital/Analog mobile transceiver with BT, GPS and APRS
FTM-200D series has a broadband receiving circuit configuration with continuous coverage from 108MHz to 999.995MHz, a unique cooling system brings stable transmission high output, 3W high sound quality and speakers and other high basic performance. High quality amateur radio communication.
communication mode supports C4FM digital and analog FM modes, with excellent communication quality. It communicates through AMS (Automatic Mode Select) function, and automatically selects the communication method of this station based on the received signal. It is possible to communicate with all members without knowing the pattern.
can be operated separately with a high-resolution full-color TFT display, frequency and communication mode display of the operating frequency band, monitor and frequency band range that displays channel reception status, compass displays position information and various types of screens. It has excellent visibility thanks to full color displays such as the settings screen.
simplifies the PMG function of FT5D, and uses the PMG-SR (single-receive main memory group) monitoring function that displays the reception status of the registered channel in a bar chart. By holding down the dedicated PMG key, you can register up to 5 display frequencies in the PMG group regardless of VFO or storage channel. After that, simply press the PMG key to call up the registered channel.
PMG has automatic mode and manual mode, which can be switched by pressing the dial on the PMG screen. In automatic mode, it will automatically stop on the signaled channel and play. When there is no signal, it will automatically re-search and move to the signaled channel. When operating the received channel, press the PTT key or dial to switch to manual mode. The channel is fixed and communication can be performed.
In manual mode, turn the dial to switch to the desired channel and communicate on a fixed channel (the real-time reception status of other channels is not displayed when the received sound is played).
You can easily unregister the channel in the PMG group by showing the frequency you want to cancel on the PMG screen and holding down the PMG key.
It has an CFL (custom function list) screen that allows you to check common functions at a glance and easily change settings. Simply press the F/MENU key to display the status of the priority function in the list and perform functions or change settings easily through the operation knob. The functions to move to the function list can be customized by holding down the F/MENU key to display the settings menu, select the desired function with the dial, and then holding down the F/MENU key to move to the function list. This can be done easily (up to 8 can be registered).
Memory Auto Grouping (MAG: Memory Auto Grouping) function is a function that can automatically group and call the memorized channels by band. During memory channel operation, press the BAND key in sequence (ALL→AIR band→band is switched from 144MHz/VHF band → 430MHz/UHF band → Other (OTHER), and can only call the storage channel of the selected band, so you can quickly tune by turning the dial.
In addition, if you use VFO that allows you to skip unused bands when selecting the VFO band Band skip function, you can use only the frequency band you are using for smooth operation. Even if the frequency of the frequency band skipped with VFO can be called in the storage mode, so it can be operated more comfortably by using it correctly.
Band range function not only displays the reception status of the registered channel in VFO mode, but also when operating the storage channel. Since the FTM-200D has only one receiver, the sound of the received channel will not be played when the band oscilloscope is operated. When playing the received sound, use the dial to set the required channel (bar with signal) in the center, and the oscilloscope display will pause and play the received sound. You can press DISP on the front panel The keys can easily turn on and off the band oscilloscope. In VFO mode, the signal status of up to 61 channels can be displayed centered on the display frequency, and the signal status of up to 21 channels can be displayed when operating the storage channel.
fully supports the globally recognized Internet remote communication "WIRES-X" and supports "WIRES-X Portable Digital Node Function" . WIRES-X Digital Node Station can access the Internet directly with the operation or PC even on the road.
In addition, the FTM-200D series is installed with high-precision GPS receiver and GPS data communication APRS Support real-time navigation with partner radio stations, as well as wireless communication using Bluetooth headset (install optional Bluetooth unit BU-4) with necessary), recording function, data storage of micro SD card , and other cutting-edge functions, from beginners to advanced amateur radio enthusiasts, you can enjoy comfortable and high-quality amateur radio communication.
We will continue to actively expand the amateur radio market, thank you for your patronage and support.
