Screen Replacement Compatible iPhone 6S White 4.7inch Digitizer Repair LCD Replacement Kit Assembly

I should preface by saying I am not an amateur radio operator myself, this was a gift for my wife who is and plans on using this radio for RACES and ARES work. She set up the radio in the house with a 12V power supply and was operating, believe it or not, with a mag-mount mobile antenna on a cookie sheet, and after digging through the manual was immediately making contacts and hitting area repeaters. the radio is obviously very well constructed. There is nothing cheap or shabby about this piece of equipment. It is extremely solid and well made. The body of the radio is dominated by a massive heat sink. The fit and finish is flawless. The controls are easy to grasp and operate, important in a mobile unit. Sound qualiuty from the built in speaker is excellent and it can pump out enough volume to deal with a noisy mobile environment. As for operation, it's a Yaesu, and every piece of Yaesu equipment she's owned has been excellent, and this radio is no excpeption. It does everything Yaesu claims it will, and does them well. It is early days yet, she's only been using it a few days, but so far she is very satisfied with it. The only real drawback is a fault shared by all modern 2 Meter transcievers, an overhwhelming number of functions and options. It is going to require careful reading of the owners manual to be able to fully use this radio (or, to be fair, any modern 2M rig). Learning the basic operation is not hard at all, but you are going to need to keep the manual handy for anything else. One of the first things I'm going to do is make photocopies of the essential operations pages from the manual so she can keep a copy in her vehicle. Overall, it's a very nice radio, works well, and I would recommend it to others looking for a solid 2 Meter mobile transciever.

This radio is very compact for all the bells and whistles it has. I believe it is a very good first radio and has many possibilities for future work with the computer. It was easier for me to manually program by downloading the manual from Yaesu web site so I could view it larger on my computer. I have ordered the software and cable for future programming and hope to get it soon. My experience so far has been good. I would recommend shopping around for price and April is month for a good rebate.

I purchased 2 units, 1 through Amazon and 1 through Ham Radio Online. I would give this radio 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that BOTH units do NOT have an output power of 75 watts in the high setting "B0101". 1 unit only put out 53 watts and the other puts out 60 watts...hardly 75 watts!!! Don't BS the customer Yaesu, some of us DO check the power output of our rigs as we work towards tuning the whole system from the aback to the antenna tip! If Yaesu support does not provide a resolution, then these will go back and I'll purchase a Kenwood. Yeah, same wattage as these current Yaesu's, but at least I'm getting what I'm told I'm purchasing SMH!

...This is my first purchase of a HAM radio! Honestly I didn't know what I was purchasing. I'll admit I bought it because of the $price$!! The Radio: It is heavy in weight and feels and looks like quality. The radio chassis is built like a tank ...fit and finish is very clean....over all...Heavy Duty for sure!! It is a mono band 2 meter only transceiver! Don't let that deter you from the purchase. Go on line and down load the operators manual.....this radio has features that rigs 3X the price do not have. If you are just starting out and want to be kept busy/learn...???...check out the operating features in the owners manual. For a 2 meter Transceiver is Freekin Amazing! You have a lot to explore/work....If you are new..?..You won't master this unit for months!! NEXT ...in my opinion... next you put your $ towards real good cable and a quality antenna that will fit you needs and use! Don't cheap out on cable or your antenna. I am using my Yaesu FT-2900R as a base station powered by a TEKPower TP30 DC supply. The radio transmission line is connected to a MPD Marine RG8x jumper cable, to a Daiwa CN-103 Bench SWR/Power meter, MPD jumper cable to, Jetstream JTCS4M 4 position Coax switch, (4) Long run MPD RG8x (50 ft) MPD cables, (1) to a Arrow OSJ-146/440 J-Pole, (1) to a Browning BR-6070 Base antenna, (1) to a Firestik 2MCKB 4ft base and my super favorite (1) to a Arrow 4 element 2 meter Yagi mounted on a CHM 3000/9521 Channel Master Rotator, mast and a Signature 2ft. tripod. That's my Rig!! Yeeeehaaa!!! I point that baby east and I'm across the pond!!! :) I love that Yagi!!!! You'll find that cell phones maybe cheaper but there is nothing like being a HAM!!! Being an operator saves lives and helps people. Good luck!! Thanks for being out there! I'm super happy with all the products and services the vendors and Prime have supplied making this a happy public service hobby through quality products and service. Semper Fi! Godspeed! KC3GDY

Mine does not transmit, screen says error every time I push the transmit button. Yes I read the book. Mine will not function even for simplex communication. It will only receive.

I have had this radio for about two months now and it is installed in my '02 Dodge Dakota. I am fairly new to Ham radio though I have been using military, EMS and business all of my life. Overall I like the radio and think it is a good value for the money I paid for it. I do have a couple of issues with it. Pros - Easy to program. Anyone who cries about "they cannot program this without using a computer," has never worked with a SINCGARS. I sat down with the manual and a printout of the repeaters I wanted and had it set up during my lunch break one afternoon. No problem. I am not even that "tech savy." - The controls are all on the Mic. VERY handy while driving. 'nuff said though I do wish a "volume control" was on there as well. - Three power levels. Nice - Easy to read display, even in bright daylight. - Excellent speaker. - Good squelch control The cons - The darned thing likes to reprogram itself!!! I will put in what I want, the way I want it and save it. A few days later, It is...different. The radio just...decided..."no, that's not the way it should be." It is especially bad about the labels and tacking on these little "tones" at the end of transmission, which I did not opt for. To change it, I have to completely erase that repeater and reprorgam. Annoying to say the least. - You have to be VERY careful when manually programming or you will end up with multiple entries for the same thing. Just saying. - The handmic PTT button is VERY soft to the touch. I have keyed it up when taking the mic out of the holder or found that I had a "hot mic" when just trying to hold the microphone in my hand! It is WAY too sensitive. I like a mic which takes a good solid "chunk" to key up. I have t drop a star over the "reprograming itself" thing and another over the handmic. Otherwise it is a great radio and very good for beginers. Just be aware of these issues.

I have owned some high priced VHF scanners in the past. If you can live with FM only on 136-174 MHZ, this one beats them all for sound quality and RF sensitivity. This unit has plenty of power for 2 meters. I often use it as a base and seldom need to use more than the low 5 watt power setting. All in all, a good sounding radio. This unit has 200 channel memories and 8 different 'banks' so that you can organize different banks for scanning. It also has 10 different VFO scan limit settings that can be stored and recalled for scanning. The manual is written in actual, understandable, English. This unit has a lot of features, so, you will need to read and comprehend a bit. There are still some items that I will be exploring. I am currently using a dual band 2 meter / 70 centimeter mobile antenna that is mounted on an eve of my roof. As a RX scanner antenna, this works very well. I purchased a 30 Ampere power supply so that I can use this on my desk top as a base unit and have enough power to transmit. This unit just feels good in your hand, the vol, squelch, and 'tune' knobs feel comfortable in my clumsy fingers. I would definitely recommend this radio to anyone who has a HAM license. The features / price are super. Enjoy.

Heavy duty, make sure it has air to breathe because it does get warm. During a net, had to transmit a few times, they asked if I was using a Yaesu and I said "yes". Something about a tone that transmits based on what he said, was interrupting my call sign. Been meaning to work on that issue, probably something simple in the programming, but haven't had the time. Use a decent power supply if you plan to transmit on 75 watts. Mine wasn't powerful enough, so it just restarts the radio. Works fine on less power though. I assume a better power supply will work fine on max power as well. Hope to try soon.
