My review = Nice! My first digital radio. There will be a learning curve. Have played with electronics all my life. This is the cleanest design have ever seen. Have not powered it up but feel it will work. Well packed, fit and finish is flawless. Smaller than my last CB radio. More controls than anyone should ever need. There are buttons everywhere. Microphone feels nice in my hand. Standard connectors, Remote face plate.

I wanted to thank you for your great video. It really helped me a lot to get my FTM-100D online. A word to all Yaesu FTM-100D users struggling to connect to Wires-X network: Upgrade your firmware first, then proceed to all of the other steps (opening UDP ports,an so on). Again, excellent video, sir. Many thanks.

The SCU-20 cable broke for many under Windows 11, meaning we get the privilege of buying a new USB cable (the new SCU-58 kit also comes with the audio cable and the new USB cable) so we can use the FT100 with Win 11 and Wires-X. Fortunately, Yaesu finally dropped the price of this kit to $39. It was about $90 bucks not long ago.
