C4FM/FM 144/430MHz Compact Digital Transceiver
C4FM Advanced Features
- Digital Group DG-ID Operation with Digital Group Monitor (GM) Function
Group Monitor enables automatically locating, and communicating with other stations within contact range, that have the matching DG-ID number (ID number from 00 to 99). The Digital Group-ID can be easily configured by each group member.
- AMS (Automatic Mode Select) Function
The AMS (Automatic Mode Select) feature automatically selects the analogue FM and C4FM digital modes, according to the signal of the other station.
5W RF Power Output
Four selectable levels of 5W/ 2.5W/ 1W/ 0.3W, which may be set separately for each frequency band.
Wide Band Receive
In addition to operation on the Amateur Bands the FT3DE provides wide-band coverage from 108MHz – 579.995MHz continuous reception*.
Modes
C4FM Digital V/D Mode, Voice FR Mode and Conventional FM Mode
700 mW of Audio Power
With a 32mm front panel speaker the FT-70DE emits loud and clear audio, which is invaluable when operating in noisy environments.
Huge 1105 Channel Memory Bank
The FT-70DR/DE transceiver incorporates Large-capacity memory channels that can register the operating frequency, communication mode, and other operational information.
These include:
900 Memory Channels
90 Skip Search Memory Channels
6 Home Channels
50 pairs PMS Memory Channels
Each memory channel can store the following information:
Operating frequency
Communication mode
Frequency steps
TX output power
Memory tag
Repeater, Tone, DCS, ATT and Skip-Memory information
S-Meter squelch level
Memory channels can be sorted and registered into memory banks according to the desired use. The transceiver allows using 24 different memory banks. A maximum of 100 memory channels can be registered in each memory bank. One memory channel can be registered to several memory banks. One memory channel in one memory bank can be recalled, and the memory channels in the several memory banks can be scanned.
Multi-Coloured LED Mode Indicator
This indicates Transmit and Receive status and current operating mode. In GM operation it also indicates when the other station is in communication range and when the GM confirmation signal is being tramitted to the other station within range.
Mini-USB Port
Connect to a PC with the supplied USB cable and ADMS-10 Software (available from the downloads tab) to edit the transceiver settings, including: VFO, Memory Channel, Memory Bank, Memory Name, Squelch and repeater settings.
(ADMS-10 Programming Software is available from the Downloads section).
*Receive sensitivity figures only guaranteed with amateur bands.
FT-70DR C4FM FDMA / FM 144/430 MHz Dual Band 5W Handheld Transceiver
The new FT-70DR is a compact and very attractively priced YAESU System Fusion transceiver providing both conventional analog FM operation and the advanced C4FM Digital mode. The FT-70DR provides up to 5W of reliable RF power, and its large Front Speaker delivers 700mW of Loud Audio Output. Because C4FM has better BER (Bit Error Rate) characteristics than other digital modulations, the user can expect exceptional audio quality. The new digital FT-70DR includes our unique Automatic Mode Select (AMS) function. AMS detects the operating mode of the received signal as C4FM digital or analog FM, and then automatically and instantly switches the receiver to the appropriate mode. Users do not need to manually change between modes. The multi-colored LED Mode-Indicator displayed on the front allows the operator to easily see what mode the FT-70DR is in at any given moment. LED Mode-Indicator clearly and visibly shows the transmit/ receive mode by changing its color so that the operating mode of the transceiver is easily recognized at a glance. One of the other distinguishing features of the FT-70DR is Digital Group Monitor (GM) with DG-ID (Digital Group Identification) and DP-ID (Digital Personal Identification) now included in the FT-70DR, to simplify the GM operation. Simply put, the transceivers selecting the same DG-ID or DP-ID can communicate with each other. Between 00 and 99 DG-ID and DP-ID are selectable which provides loads of flexibility so that users can enjoy group communication with friends in GM mode in accordance to their individual operational needs.
Commercial Grade VHF / UHF
The FT-70DR is built to commercial grade standards, including the IP54 Rating for Dust and Water protection, making this radio suitable for operation in the harshest of environments.
Wide band receive coverage
108 MHz – 580 MHz, continuous reception for aircraft bands, public service channels, etc.
Versatile Scanning Capabilities
Programmable VFO Scan, scans all channels in the desired frequency range, Memory scan allows scanning of user selectable frequencies, Priority Channel Scan can be used to scan memory channels while making one channel a priority. Weather Alert scan alerts the user when severe weather is approaching.
Automatic Mode Select (AMS)
The Automatic Mode Select function detects the receive signal mode
The transceiver automatically selects one of the four communication modes according to the signal received. This is extremely convenient when listening for communications, as you do not need to be aware of the other party’s communication mode. The transceiver can also be operated in a fixed communication mode.
More Advanced Features
Other advanced features include: External DC Jack for DC Supply Operation and to Charge the Battery, Mini USB port for convenient programming and software updates, CTCSS/ DCS Operation, Automatic Power Off (APO) feature, RF Squelch, Transmitter Time Out Timer (TOT) and Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO).
