Yaesu FTM 400 Setup

[@howardskinner3405]

Hello from the US. I just found your videos. I’ve had the radio for a couple of years. Your videos have really helped me better understand the operation of the radio. Well done and thank you!

[@barry2e0dts]

Thanks Howard

Very nice overview. I'm slowly getting all the parts for the power supply, antenna, etc. for both mobile (in 2 vehicles) and base use here in AZ, USA. I'm a novice radio operator for the Red Cross EmComms group in my retirement. Enjoying all the learning and messing. So far I really enjoy this radio in its functionality and displays. Also learning DMR with an Anytone. Thanks much, Barry..

I have been beating my head aginst the wall for 3 days now trying to see were I went wrong with my neew FDR after watching this vid it was the biggest help. Had troubles getting to TX 1 step is all I was lacking got it after watching this video. Im old school all my gear has been 35 or more old Thanks

Thank You for your Creation of a Great and Educational Video on the YAESU FTM-400 Setup, One of The Best I have Seen. Thank You Again and 73 de KG5TJV

Thanks. Just got an FTM-400XDR and this is most helpful. 73's.

Thank you for this video, looks like a great radio to get into. What blows my mind is how how poorly the interfaces of these radios are built with all of the modern technologies surrounding us. A cheap $75 prepaid smartphone offers 10 times better the interface and more modern display/touch input technologies than a $600 radio. That cheap smartphone can automatically set display brightness depending on ambient surrounding light while this $600 radio will blind your eyeballs out until you take 3 steps to dim it down.

This is helping me because , I have received my radio yet. It's on its way to me as we speak. So all of the information you are showing me is helping me before I setup my radio. KG5RPC.

[@MM0SDK]

I recognise your voice. I think I had a QSO with you on either Folkstone repeater or maybe Looe in cornwall via echolink about 2 weeks ago. 73's Barry - 2M1VFO.

[@barry2e0dts]

+Mark Bartlett Yes Mark you did on the Folkestone repeater M3OYI Now 2E0DTS. And I did give Shane in Hastings your message. All the best 73

[@twohandsandaradio]

I'm curious how you have the head mounted so firmly. I almost bought one and then saw a video of someone chasing the head unit all over his desk then holding the unit and dropping it. I wish it were mountable to the main body.

[@jaybarr3307]

There's a couple of different desk mount available for this. Also, several of the car mounts would work, even the ones with suction cups if your surface was smooth enough.

When I saw you save your SD card, you had the option of memories. What I would like to know can I create memories for different cities and load them from the memory card and gives them name like the cities or area they represent? And can you create these files in like a cvs file on a computer.

[@barry2e0dts]

Ron Malinowski, Jr. Sorry not sure on that one

[@deustectips9519]

After watching this... I want one :)

[@Davidgough27]

your lucky then in bigging I'll where I live got a d star in Bromley 8miles sway and a dmr in Caterham 10 miles away but no fusion so it I get your radio I won't be able to get on repeter only with analogue need a fusion repeter for this radio to work well is that correct

[@Davidgough27]

is this the dmr radio

[@barry2e0dts]

+Davidgough27 No DMR on this FM/UHF Fusion

[@Davidgough27]

can these be wide banded

[@barry2e0dts]

+Davidgough27 Don't think so

[@Davidgough27]

i was in folkstone xsmas

[@barry2e0dts]

+Davidgough27 If you gave me a call on the Folkestone repeater I would have got a cup tea with mince pie M3OYI now 2E0DTS

[@Davidgough27]

hi can you contact space station on this if you wanted

[@barryoldfield1916]

+Davidgough27 Yes 145.800 down 70cms up link

[@Davidgough27]

so if this is fm uhf fustion thats dmr radio yes is it not analoge and digital

[@barry2e0dts]

+Davidgough27 No Fusion is C4FM not DMR. DMR is on my TYT MD-380 look it up on the net. The repeater here in Folkestone GB7CF is Fusion (digital) and analonge. And here in Folkestone we have GB7CK thats is DMR. And here in Folkestone we have GB3FK 2 meter analoge FM. And also we have Dstar (GB7FK)
