Thank you so much for this! They really have how to turn the tone squelch on hidden well! I was trying to figure that out for a while. It really ought to be in the manual!

I missed where you set the offset to .6 -- even watched it again.

[@LCARAHAMRadio]

@sgarcata - Thanks for watching! The FTM400 automatically sets the offset once you select your frequency. Some radios do, some don't.

I would like to thank you for this video, I’m a new Ham and I don’t have the 400xdr yet but it’s the radio of my choice after debating between the Yaesu and the Icom 5100A, I’m just waiting for any holidays specials on the 400xdr it seems like an extremely good radio and easy to program, I was wondering if you have any videos on using WireX and programming it with the RT system software. Thank you in advance ( KO4SPS)

[@ronblack2404]

I have really enjoyed your videos, learned a lot.. can you tell me if this radio would be a good choice for satellite contact and receive. Is it full duplex ? I know there are some popular Kenwood radios but I'd like to get a mobile/base with color screen for satellite use if available thank you for your Elmer spirit

Hi all from the UK will you be doing a video on the radio itself not programming but using it as I am interested in it for competition use for UHF/VHF 73 Phil 2E0FJQ in the UK

[@LCARAHAMRadio]

Hey 2E0FJQ, we'll be doing more in-depth videos on the different radios in the future. We occasionally use the radios for competition but not often. Stay tuned
