The new Yaesu FT5DE is a full-featured C4FM handheld transceiver with superior operability and new sophisticated functions. 

Even in a compact body (W2.44” x D1.34” x H3.94”), the FT5DE provides reliable 5W RF power output and achieves loud 1W audio power that has been tuned for quality audio. Real Dual Band Operations (V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V) are available with two independent receivers. Large individual LED indicators for A band and B band present the status and communication modes (C4FM or Analog) of each band instantly. The new FT5DE supports simultaneous C4FM digital (C4FM/C4FM standby).

With rubber protection on the corner of the main body, the Yaesu FT5DE has rugged and shock-resistant construction. The waterproof rating is IPX7. The comfortable size and form of the full-flat back body provides excellent grasp for the radio operator.

A high-resolution display highlights the frequency of the operational band. The color of the operating band frequency can be selected from white, blue or red. Three (3) touch panel keys and seven (7) operation keys below the display offer intuitive operability.

The new TOUCH & GO operation is convenient in order to immediately start the communications on an often-used frequency. By pressing and holding the “PMG” key, the frequency of the current display is registered into Primary Memory Group.  After registration, pressing the “PMG” key will display the receive status of the registered frequencies as bars on   a graph (activity monitor). By simply touching the displayed bar, the user can instantly recall that frequency. (TOUCH &  GO Operation)

Band Scope function monitors in real time, up to 79 displayed channels that are centered around the current VFO frequency. The center frequency can be tuned by the dial knob or by touching and moving the frequency of a displayed channel bar.

The C4FM digital communication features which are already popular in the market, such as: Automatic Mode Select (AMS), Digital Group ID (DG-ID) operation, and Smart Navigation function are available with the new Yaesu FT5DE.

The Yaesu FT5DE supports the WiRES-X Portable Digital Node Function as well. A portable digital node can be easily set up with the new FT5DE, an internet connected laptop PC, and the optional SCU-39 cable kit.

New Quick Release Holster (SHB-26) is included in the FT5DE package as a supplied accessory that allows single-touch attaching and detaching the transceiver while wearing the holster on a belt.
