Yaesu FTM-150E ASP VHF / UHF dual band mobile transceiver 55W / with 5 year warranty

Yaesu FTM-150E ASP VHF/UHF 144/430MHz FM 55/50W Dual Band Mobile Transceiver - The new Evolving Super-DX + ASP

The Yaesu FTM-150E ASP transceiver provides true dual band operation with two different receivers on different bands or within the same band (V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V). Full Dot-Matrix display is graphically visible and provides a clear and crisp view of the radio operating status.  Front panel is detachable, and by attaching the optional swing-head - SJMK-500, flexible angle adjustment is possible to accommodate easy mobile operation. The power output is 55W on VHF and 50W on UHF (55W / 50W, 25W, 5W is selectable). Heavy Duty Heat Sink with FACC (Funnel Air Convection Conductor) ensures stable and reliable transmit power.

A front speaker is furnished inside the control-head.  The front speaker, in combination with the main body speaker, provides a total of 6W high quality audio (3W: Front Speaker / 3W: Main Body Speaker).  Volume level of the main body speaker is adjustable (0 – 100%) relative to the front panel speaker for users’ preference. The Super-DX function increases the receiver sensitivity and improves weak signal reception. The new ASP: Audio Digital Signal Processing Unit is also activated when the Super-DX key is pressed. The Super-DX with the ASP ensures reliable audio quality for weak signals and expands the communication range.  

Yaesu FTM-150E ASP transceiver features:

PMG (Primary Memory Group)

Up to 5 VFO or Memory Channel frequencies may be assigned to the PMG (Primary Memory Group). The reception status of the PMG channels is displayed in real time with a bar graph in the PMG screen. The AUTO or MANUAL mode is switchable by pressing and holding the Main VFO knob during PMG operation. The AUTO mode simultaneously shows up to two channels when signals are received.  Transmit is automatically moved to the received channel. In the MANUAL mode, transmit and receive stays on the manually selected channel. The signal received on the other channel is shown on the screen and the audio can be heard.

The reception status of PMG channels is displayed with a bar graph in the PMG screen. Two channels with signals are automatically received simultaneously. The AUTO or MANUAL mode is switchable by pressing and holding the Right DIAL knob. In MANUAL mode, transmission and reception will stay on the manually selected channel (Main channel), which is useful for monitoring on one desired channel. A signal received on the other channels is shown on the screen and the audio can be heard, while the Main channel will continue to receive signals. The AUTO mode simultaneously shows up to two channels when signals are received. Transmit is automatically moved to the first received channel.

Memory Auto Grouping (MAG)

The Memory Auto Grouping (MAG) function automatically enables Memory Channels to be categorized in each band, and then the Memory Channels can be quickly recalled by Band groups. By pressing the [BAND](SCOPE) key while operating on a Memory Channel, the bands will switch in the order of each band. In "M-GRP" (My Group), memory channels can be set to M-GRP regardless of the frequencies. In "M-ALL", the MAG function is turned off and all memory channels are recalled.

CFL (Customized Function List) Registering up to 9 Functions Ensures Easy and Smooth Operation

A single-press of the [F] key reveals up to 9 functions and their setting statuses at a glance. The functions may be directly executed, or the settings changed on the same screen.

Dual Receive ⬌ Scope Operation

Press and hold the [BAND](SCOPE) key to switch between dual reception and scope operation. The scope screen shows the marker "V" channel and displays the activity and signal strength of up to 47 channels (up to 23 channels in memory mode) in real time. Rotating the Left DIAL knob moves the center frequency. A received signal at the center frequency is heard. Rotating the Right DIAL knob moves the marker and allows you to receive the signal of the marker frequency. Press PTT to transmit on the marker frequency at any time.

Super-DX + ASP (Audio Digital Signal Processor)

The new Super-DX function can increase the RF amplifier gain to improve reception sensitivity when the received signal is weak, making weak signals easier to hear and extending communication range.

ASP: Audio Digital Signal Processor

Yaesu's ASP (Audio Digital Signal Processor) is a highly effective noise canceling function that digitally processes the received signal in the AF to separate and remove noise components, bringing out the voice components. The voices difficult to hear buried in noise can be heard with clear audio quality. ASP works in conjunction with the Super-DX function, which increases reception sensitivity.

Dual Speaker System produces High-fidelity Audio

The total audio output of 6W (3W main unit and 3W front speaker) ensures reliable communication with clear, high-quality sound, even in noisy environments. The 3W front speaker inside the control-head, ensures clear and powerful audio output. The front speaker is positioned inside the front head. Even in separate operation where the main-unit is installed under the seat, comfortable operation is possible without adding an external speaker. The volume balance between the front speaker and main speaker can be adjusted from 0 to 100% to make it easy to hear depending on the installation situation.

Yaesu FTM-150E ASP transceiver advanced functions:

• Wide-band Reception: The Yaesu FTM-150E transceiver provides continuous wide-range receiver coverage from 108MHz to 499.995MHz. The communication modes support analog FM modes, and AM (Air band receive).
• True Dual Band Operation (V+V/U+U/V+U/U+V), Independent knobs and LED indicators for each band: Two independent receiver circuits provide true dual-band operation, whether in the same band or in different bands (V+V/U+U/V+U/U+V). In addition, the dial knobs, VOL/SQL knob, and LED indicators for each band are placed independently on the left and right sides of the control head, making it easy to see the status of each band and allowing intuitive operation.
• Angle variable Swing-head ensures Excellent visibility: Additionally, by attaching the optional Swing-head kit (SJMK-500) to the control-head, flexible angle adjustment is possible. Even when the installation space is limited, operation can be from the best angle. *Optional control-head extension cable "SCU-62" or "CT-132" is not required.
• High-resolution Graphical Dot-matrix Display: The large, high-resolution full-dot LCD display provides excellent operability with a wide range of functions, including frequency display, PMG function, scope operation, and menu screen, all with an easy-to-understand display.
• Large 1103 Memory channels: The 999 Memories, 4 "Home" channels and 50 sets PMS Memories are programmable with 8 alpha-numeric characters for easy recognition.
• Memory Data Transfer to the VFO Register: By pressing and holding the [BAND] (SCOPE) key when in the Memory mode operation, the memory data of the currently selected Memory Channel can be transferred into the VFO register. VFO operation can be performed without changing the communication setting.
• FACC (Funnel Air-Convection Conductor) cooling system, Ensures Stable High-Power Output: FACC Wind Tunnel construction gathers cool air through the wide front opening and side air intakes, and directs it to the final amplifier area and then out the rear cooling fan. This efficient cooling system ensures stable transmit power for sustained long distance communications. *FACC Funnel Air-Convection Conductor (Wind Tunnel.
