Yaesu FTM-6000E FM VHF/UHF 50W mobile transceiver / with 5 year warranty

The Yaesu FTM-6000E is an easy-to-use FM mobile transceiver for the 2m and 70cm amateur radio bands. Transmit power is max 50 W, which can be switched to 25 and 5 W. The unit supports FM and NFM (Narrow FM) modes as well as AM (aviation radio) reception. The receiver operates in the range 108 to 999 MHz. On the transmitter side, the 2m and 70cm amateur bands are covered.

The large display allows easy reading of the operating frequency. Only the selected band is displayed at a time; the Yaesu FTM-6000E transceiver has only one receiver. For monitoring multiple frequencies, powerful functions such as Scan and Priority Watch (Dualwatch) are available. A new feature is the two large function buttons to the left and right of the display. These buttons form the basis of the new "Easy to Operate" (E2O) concept. Here the user can program the most important menu functions individually on the buttons. The result is an operation that suits every application.

The most frequently used frequencies can be stored in memory, with 1000 memory locations available. Each memory can be given an alphanumeric name, for example the call sign of the repeater. In order to access a selected group of memories particularly and quickly, a separate "PMG Primary Memory Group" button is available. Conveniently, all memories are automatically grouped by band, so all frequencies of a band are always grouped together.

Convenient operation is enhanced by the remote control panel of the Yaesu FTM-6000E. A bracket and a separation cable are supplied, allowing the control panel to be mounted in the optimal position in the vehicle. The control panel has space for the optional 'BU-4' Bluetooth card, which can be easily retrofitted by the user. The optional Bluetooth unit (BU-4) allows operation with a Bluetooth headset (e.g. SSM-BT10) or hands-free kit. A Bluetooth headset is very useful in many situations; in the vehicle, a BT hands-free system can contribute to driving safety. On the back of the Yaesu FTM-6000 transceiver there is a 10-pin "Data" socket, which can be used to operate e.g. Packet Radio or an external voice recorder. Another "Data" socket is used for programming with the appropriate PC software. The control panel of the FTM-6000E is detachable, a 3 m separation cable and a bracket are supplied. This allows the control panel to be mounted in a conveniently accessible location.
