This is a dual band (VHF & UHF) Amateur Radio with an FM radio built in
with an FCC ID K66 20665X20 granted on 2/13/17 under part 15B.
Receiver Ranges are: 65 – 108 MHz FM Broadcast
136 – 174 MHz VHF
400 – 480 MHz UHF
Antenna connection
The antennas for this radio need to be SMA female. I suggest the Nagoya NA-702.
Special Note
The 0 SET button: SET has no function or purpose on this radio. This is confusing for
users of other Yaesu radios like the FT-60 where F/W & SET opens the menu.
VFO / CH mode
Press the *V/M button. This switches between VFO and Memory.
Switch bands
In VFO mode, press the #BAND button.
Pressing the #BAND button in memory mode switched to offset tunning. It is also a
way to see the frequency of the channel you are on. Press #BAND again to exit.
