YAESU FT-4XE EVEN GIVES THE FT-60 A RUN FOR ITS MONEY - FT-4XE FIELD TESTING, CLOSER THAN I THOUGHT.

[@MrBracey1970]

Thanks for this,nice to know the F4x isn’t far off FT60

[@risingsunflagsamemeaningas7472]

From what I hear in this video, strangely, uv5r seems to be the best in terms of reception. And I think the transmission is no worse than Yaisu. Am I the only one who sounds like that?? ( 2'nd 6mile FT4X T6:04 R6:33 UV5 T R6:44 R6:57 FR60 T7:52 R8:04) (1'st ?? mile FT4X 1:59 UV5R T15:58 R2:16 T2:35 3:42 UV5 T2:56 R3:10 3:39 FR60 4:06 )

I have the uv5r and a Yaesu FT65, I've had the Baofeng for a while, the Ft65 a few months, when I did a comparison with my friend on 2m both radios performed equally well though my friend thought the audio was much better on the Yaesu, pretty much as you found. Kinda suggests that the the only shortcoming of the Baofeng is a poorer quality mic.

[@truckerbruno]

Good benchmark/ Maybe it would be more accurate is the UV-5R and the FT-4X had shared the same antenna, which is SMA female. I'm happy with my FT4-XE, looking towards a second set like FT- 65 while returning my Blaspheming UV-5R to partly fund it. At the end of the day, the best device in this upload was the camera! 🎥 Really good.

In my Country Argentina Buenos Aires, all baofengs are the same problem.... complete deaf in VHF . Because a lot of broadcastings FM. Performance in this band is lower than 30% in comparison with other Handhelds like ICOM o Yaesu (i have Yaesu 411 & ICOM ic02at, both outperform Baofeng in VHF). But in UHF Baofeng works very very well!!! not perfect.... but a decent 70% in comparison with others UHF first level brand equipments. Sadly Baofeng not fix this problem with better filters.... if they do that , i think nobody buy other branded models. Regards from Argentina LU1DAA!

[@kanamilife6520]

I find this problem too in the Philippines. VHF on baofengs is really weak af, but UHF is decent

[@JohnUsp]

Interesting, please, could you explain better why the Baofeng VHF is weak? I guess the VHF is 5W power (some models 8W), so, with this power, why won't work there? Good brand radios are also 5W, what's the difference?

[@gmallada]

@@JohnUsp the problem not is in Transmission. Only in reception Baofeng are weaks, because not have good filters from FM commercials 88-108 FM. The power of 5W or 8W is perfect, but in reception are poor results in big cities. On rural zones works much better.

[@JohnUsp]

@@gmallada thanks I got it.

[@ManuelPinner]

Japanese Ham Radios are much more Higher Quolity, I have a Yaesu ft 817 over 10 Years Old and still Work Well,

[@RvtvvideoproduktiesNl]

Yaesu Ft4xe is made in china... but i like it anyway, very loud af output, small design good pricing 73

[@theikospsaras]

Hi everyone. Has the FT4XE dual receiver like baofeng uv5r (vv, uu, vu, uv) or performs only in one Chanel?

[@radiowave5987]

yaesu ft4xe is a counterpart to the Baofeng UV 5R

[@erman0006]

Is there dual watch function? Thanks a lot

[@knoxieman]

Yes

[@k19radio13]

FT-4XR Measured RF power 144MHz 5W 433MHz 4W

[@gblan]

What's the difference between the FT-4X and the FT-65R? Same price really.

[@McRocking]

One is make for big people hands, one for little people hands.

[@darcifilho5467]

The 65 has better battery, better display and better rain protection is what I heard on youtube.

[@gearlab734]

I probably missed it, but how far away was Mick on the first test?

[@knoxieman]

3 miles 👍

[@boxingday11]

Thanks very much 👍🇬🇧

[@MerchantsOfMisery]

Using CHIRP to program this radio is 100x better than the stupid RT Systems software. Great video!

[@2E0HOQ]

Can tbe ft4x do split for Satalites

[@theend5304]

RDA?

[@MeineVideokasetten]

All three trx sounding exactly the same!!! In the second half the UV5R sounding much better than Yaesu.

[@playeah1]

Is the ft4x waterproof?

[@knoxieman]

Splashproof but not waterproof

[@alex_frizzell]

Do you need a license to use one of these?

[@josephroblesjr.8944]

@FrizzelTube Yes yes yes If in the USA, look for a technician license. It’s an easy test.

[@McRocking]

No, but you need fingers and thumbs to get the most out of them.

[@josephroblesjr.8944]

@@shockadellick I hadn't thought of the GMRS route. As for the ham license, it isnt that hard. I spent 2 weeks studying and got generalandtechnician. To each his own

[@McRocking]

I buy 2 Baofeng for 30 dollar. When one break I still got radio + spare battery. I winner.

[@maxwellbruce4747]

LOL support for a £17 radio . Behave lol . Chuck it buy another . 5r much better

[@JohnSmith-wl8cv]

I bet if you never mentioned you were on a Baofeng he would have said no different about the audio,yaesu are not all that great for what you pay for them anyway all made in China ,cheap to produce more profit.

[@RvtvvideoproduktiesNl]

@KZbin Account ft4x is build in china, anyway i love it above the 5r+ baofeng definatly in better receive

[@MerchantsOfMisery]

Have you tried both the UV-5R and the Yaesu FT-4X? I own both and can say with certainty that as the guy said at 3:10, there is a definite difference in quality. As he also says, the Baofeng's transmission is fully readable but there is a difference. Personally, I would recommend the UV-5R for most people because you really get a great product for that price. I believe it makes more sense for a person to get 3-4 Baofengs first, and then perhaps 1 or more Yaesu FT-4X radios to ensure that their radio fleet has one especially clear transceiver. Also the FT-4X is now made in Japan. That's the first thing I checked when I received mine and I was very relieved, although I will admit that made in China doesn't necessarily imply poor quality. There's plenty of products made in China that are of high quality.
