Yaesu FTM-400DR Review

[@lpark8]

It’s now 2021, almost 2022, and the FTM400 is still a great radio and this video still helpful for a new owner. Great content as always. Thanks!

[@chugatrocketmail]

Josh - Watching this from "the far flung future." I really appreciate the archived content that still is relevant, like this FTM-400 review. I've waited 3+ years, and recent holiday Black Friday discounts have made purchase a bit easier on the wallet. Truly appreciate learning a lot of new hobby knowledge - APRS and WiresX with your help!

[@TheVideowise]

It's almost a year and a half after this video was recorded and Yaesu did do an update of the GPS, but it's still a fantastic radio. Mine is only 2 weeks old and I'm really enjoying it. I have a FT-3 handheld and it was easy to move to the FTM-400, an older radio. I bypassed the FTM-300 because of the small screen size and my very old eyes. What's amazing is everything Josh notes is still world class 16 months later. I am all Mac based here so I use RT-Systems for both the 400 and FT-3 and use an SD card to move the data to both radios. And it took me 2 minutes to move my memory channel list from the FT-3 to the 400 using copy and paste between the two RT-Systems software programs. Thanks Josh for an old, but so current review!

[@JosephAnthonyJosefius]

I just ordered the FTM-300, I can't wait to get it installed in my Truck :)

[@renebeland4837]

it's now 2023, just getting ready to install it in my f-150. Bought it a year + ago and slept in the box til now ( Covid You know ) Looking forward to putting this thing on the air. Thanks Josh

Works for what? There are hardly any transmit frequencies!

[@mikeZL3XD7029]

Hi Josh, I bought one of the FTM-400XDR here in New Zealand, I must say I really like it. It has a lot of features that I'll never use, but it does the basics well. I do like the touch-screen, this is the first radio I've ever had that has one. Thanks for the video, 73, ZL3XD.

[@spaceshipdev]

This video resulted in FTM-100DR being returned for swap to FTM-400DR. Thank-you

[@michaelmauldin59]

Josh, I've been thinking about buying the 400 so I have been watching alot of videos, yours is one of the few I trust on these reviews. Imagine how surprised I was to hear myself and my old call when you were listening to the America Link room while demonstrating the Wires X function. Original call, KE0VMP, new call W7TDM. 73's

[@shawnwabrams]

Just got mine from hro was backordered for about 3 weeks. Set it up in my kitchen to check it out, planning to install in my truck! Super excited, saw your video about purchasing it and decided to buy it, now this video confirms how great I hoped the ftm-400 would be.

[@billsbullets]

This is the review I’ve been trying to find. Thanks for putting in the time and learning the radio before the review. Nothing more disappointing than a here it is this is what it looks like. Josh you’re awesome. Been with you since the prepping days.

New subscriber here with notifications on. Another feature I have run into is that you use a aux cord and plug it into an aux jack (car stereo, PC speaker) you get audio from bank A on the left speaker and bank B on the right. Handy for Skywarn and other features eg; Police and Fire/rescue. 73' de WX8SJC.

How do you like it? Been thinking about getting the same one.

[@Danybad1972]

Hi Josh, many tnx 4 your passionate video - obviously you love this rig (me 2 as well!!!). I watched your video before I choosed it up... and did the right thing.. I'm enjoy to using this rig every single day... more rigs like this one 400. Continue like this! I'm your fan ! OK2BAD Danny

[@CaroleMinxBlanton]

I hear you on this one, right.... I like the size the screen. Looks like a really cool radio. I like the idea of putting it under the seat. I didn't want to mess up my new Honda lol by screwing in brackets. It does it all. I like that. Price point, ok little higher than the 8900.. yeah i know, i hear ya. But seems worth it for the screen size and all the extras. 👍 on this one!

[@jptucsonaz8503]

Hi Hosh, Very nice video as always. One note however; you mentioned getting an external speaker... I think a better solution with much better sound might be to install the Bluetooth® unit (BU-2), and then run the sound through your vehicle's audio system! 73 John N7GHZ

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I don’t really like dominating my cars stereo with just a radio. I sometimes listen to podcasts while the ham radio is on. So I always go external speaker.

Well I just ordered one from DX Engineering. The FTM-400XDR I believe. Will be my first mobile. You talked me out of the 857D I had been eyeballing on eBay. I don’t have my general, yet, anyway. I’ll save the HF radio as a reward for obtaining the general license. Thanks again, Josh. ps tonight we drinking Steel Reserve crapola, ‘cause we just dumped $600 on a $400 radio lol

Now I have a bit to learn about how to mount an antenna to my F250 and what is the best antennae I can get for it.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Great review I just ordered mine👍🏻 thanks again.

[@JeffN4POD]

I love my FTM-400XDR... Haven't played with the WIRES-X function yet. Had difficulties using Yaesu's software, but RT Systems works great, especially when paired with RFinder. The only thing I don't like is not being able to program memories to be digital only -- when you receive an analog signal on a Fusion repeater, it will switch to analog... next time you key up it uses analog instead of digital. Most of the Fusion repeaters around here are in dual analog/digital mode, so whichever mode they rx on the input, is what they tx on the output.

[@chuck4050]

Dang it Josh! I have been trying to think of reasons not to pay the price of this radio and you just made it a lot harder. The current price is a good deal but nobody has them in stock that I know of. Still not sure about the APRS and wires just started looking into both, I have the FTM3200 so I do have a radio that does both I think. Great video keep up the good work.

[@cjdoig45]

Finally!!! Thank you. Great review as always.

[@vincentdenich5034]

Great review. I notice you have the volume all the way up, which is what I need to do on mine as it really seems to have a sound problem through the internal or external speaker for me. That's why I went back to the 5100 in my car. I do love the radio otherwise.

[@JamesHannibalKH2SR]

Great review! Wish this rig did APRS digipeating. Only reason I went with the Kenwood D710.

[@1OTDM]

Does that mean the Kenwood can act as a repeater for other people using aprs ?

[@Ktmoney123]

Now it costs $567 😳 what’s the reason for the price increase? ( today’s date: 1/9/21 )

Is it the upgraded GPS version?

[@mfranklin36]

Great review, I can not wait to get mine. I have read nothing but great things about this radio. What antenna and mount would you recommend for this Radio? I am going to install it in my 2015 chevy pickup. I like the lip mount style as you have. Looking to have it mount on the hood 73 VA3LJH

[@kjshelley]

Did any reply? I have same question

[@BlackHamRadioUniversity]

I know in the beginning of this video you stated that this radio had a GPS antenna and depending on how you mount it it may present some problems. What type of problems did you experience?

[@ipdjbt]

I'm having a hard time choosing between this and the Icom 5100A. Dstar is semi popular in my area, but considering this is for mobile use it kind of makes Dstar popularity not so much a deciding factor.

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

No System Fusion or Wires in the area?

[@Hax0rZ1]

Personally I'm not a fan of d-star. In our area we have a ton of fusion repeaters. Between the hot spots and the fusion repeaters depending on where you are you could be in good shape. There is also DMR. I'm not happy with the proprietary nature of d-star and the major difficulty to transcode from other modes due to it. All other modes dont have this problem. Icom and Kenwood actually pay royalties for that AMBE. To me that flies in the face of open source and keeping ham radio free. See this for the chip i'm referring to www.dvsinc.com/products/a20x0.shtml

[@ipdjbt]

@@HamRadioCrashCourse None! Only D Star, and I have no idea how much use it even gets. Kind of crazy considering I live in a major metropolitan area. Looks like DMR is my best choice.

[@applejacks971]

HRO is $540 (includes $50 off with 2 coupons) for the 400xdr. Spendy lil rigs but super cool nonetheless

[@applejacks971]

I ordered mine the last weekend through GigaParts, who had a 10% Labor Day sale. I went with the 400xdr, FSV Voice card, and extra mounting bracket so I can use in my semi as well. Also got the smb-201 cooling fan for the 8800 that its replacing as I'll be using it in the shack with a j-pole. I didn't realize the 400xdr uses the exact power cable, mic, and mounting bracket as the 8800. I wouldn't have needed the other 2 power cords and extra mounting bracket. Oh well, extra stuff for the go bag! I had the rigs swapped out in under 2 minutes, excited!!!

[@bthemedia]

Hope the price gets back to $409, HRO Black Friday 2020 Sale price is $550 !?!

[@Hax0rZ1]

As usual a fabulous video. I bought the ftm-400xdr a few months before you did Hosh and found the same results. I used the same Lido mount and had the same difficulties. They actually make a lido face mount that specifically fits the 400 but I found out after I already bought the wrong one. To get that one to fit I actually had to buy a large washer so it wouldnt slip off the mount. I did run into a defect on my radio that HRO is gladly swapping me a new one when it comes in. My internal speaker which I dont use much now anyways because I have an external speaker died less then a month after I bought it. My next purchase is a FT-991a. Do you own it and can you review it if you do? :)

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I do not own a 991, but would be willing to review one :D I went with the 7300 for desktop HF rig.

@hoshnasi. You have a YTY 9800 in your truck that I've heard you on the repeater? The one of Amazon, right. It was very clear that Saturday you had to go into work. I thought you had the FT 8900R it was very clear. I'm impressed. I guess the one i heard someone on was just a bad speaker. I love this fTm400. Or is it the 400 i heard you that day Totally cool radio. Ok weighing this out lol. Thanks for the idea for under the seat. Ok. Go have fun at Hamvention. Hope Discord's sound it's better tonight. Love to hear what you've bought.

[@douglasbelcher7519]

Thanks Josh for this great review on the 400. Do you have a review on the FTM 300? I’m a new Ham looking to start my shack and go kit with my emphasis/interest on EmComm, ARES =& RACES. My plan is to have my mobile go kit encompass both my VHF/UHF and HF radios and this would serve as my shack radios as well. Could you recommend a yaesu HF (if I should stay with Yaesu) and can you recommend what antennas I should use for a shack and ARES mobile. Thanks for what you do!

[@texbaz2]

What I don't understand is how hard it would have been for Yaesu to allow squelch and volume to be controlled from the mic. When driving band, volume, squelch is what I change. Not going to be smashing all those buttons menus. My 25 year old FT-8500 has all those controls on the mic very much ahead of its time. I'm trying to get into digital. Guess I'll have to wait a few more years. Good comments Thanks. 73

[@stevey500]

Love my two FTM 400s but I'll share my personal cons about it, much of which could be improved via firmware but it seems yaesu doesn't listen to the community well to write firmware interface improvements It misses some points. The when APRS is set to band B, the APRS enabled icon shows up on band A. APRS notifications blank out receive audio, so do auto/smart beacon transmits. APRS tones aren't as subtle or adjustable as other radios, and APRS busy area will drive you nuts. Programming doesn't allow mode (fm/DN/etc) to be set with a memory. Channel groups isn't an option for scanning specific channels easily. When lcd display brightness is set to a comfortable low level for night driving, the buttons dim out too far to see, button backlight level is not equal of display. Auto brightness mode would have been killer useful. Cross-band repeat does not support digital modes whatsoever nor did they ever advertise it to, though. Other than that, the radio has been great. I love it otherwise these gripes. My previous Kenwood d710 had far better design and function of what cons I posted here. Disclaimer, I may not have dug deep enough to find solutions to these issues.

[@xe3iss]

Hello that radio I really liked the only thing that I would add is several memories for the operation of APRS via Satellite, for example comparing it with the TM710, it has several "PM" memories or menus that simplify when you are driving on fast roads the programmed PATH change is The only thing I would add, I repeat the radio is very nice but its menu a bit complicated, greetings from XE3ISS 73S

I’m new the Ham radio. I just passed my Tech Exam last Thursday and I’m waiting on my call sign. I’m looking forward to buying the FTM-400-XDR. I noticed when you were showing the wires X portion of the video, you held the button down and you said that it qued the repeater and linked to your node at home. What’s the purpose of connecting to a home node when you’re accessing your mobile? How far are you from your home station?

300 is cheaper, but the 400 is touch screen. It's up to you. The 300 can do digital on both VFO A & B, but as a 400 owner myself, I usually leave VFO B on APRS, and use the VFO A for communications on repeaters. If your area is digitally saturated, maybe this will be valuable to you. Also, the touch screen makes entering names and such much easier, as well as APRS messages, if that's your thing.

I’m just having a hard time with the head not connecting at all to the body. Also having to pay an extra 85 for Bluetooth that if it like the Bluetooth in the 3d it sucks anyway. Do you know if it can connect to a vehicle my 3d will not connect to my ford truck

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

There are plenty of other radios out there if you’re not liking the ftm-400

[@kevinokeefe7796]

Ham Radio Crash Course not yaesu radios other then the 100 that I know of

[@corgily]

What do you think of 400 vs new 300

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

They are compatible radios. Pick the one that fits the space you’d install it.

[@jrkeyesful]

[@HamRadioCrashCourse]

I use the Lido Mount seat bolt arm and Yaesu munting brackets.
