Very impressive. Yes, an all in one like that would be fantastic. Interesting way that you wide band it. That tandem is really cool. Excellent choonage. 73 M7TUD

I drove from Kansas City to the Outer Banks of NC a week ago and had my FT5D w/stock antenna attached to the A-pillar in my vehicle. It easily picked up CB Channel 19 the whole way, while my Uniden SDS100 w/GPS was scanning police dispatch frequencies and auto-updating those freqs based upon my current location. I had the B side of the FT5D scanning the FRS/GMRS freqs at the same time and wow - the United States has a TON of GMRS repeaters out there. Most of them are configured to transmit their callsign in morse code at set times and I heard a lot of them in 3000+ miles of driving. And yes, I have my FT5D "configured" to transmit on FRS/GMRS in the event of an emergency. Whenever I travel I just take the FT5D, SDS100, and my Icom IC-705 with me.

Pretty cool little handheld, waving from my tech bench. 73 👋🏻

6:47min😂🤣😂🤣😂... Agora falando sério, rádio interessante, parece ser bem legal e cheio de frequências... A gente só pensa na autonomia da bateria 🔋 e como se comporta com antenas externas, ok ? Grande 73 aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷👍😎 Ah!!! Vocês são 1 perigo andando de bicicleta KKK parecia 2 crianças kkkk TKS.

Quite liking your channel, I sometimes watch Ringway Manchesters channel, but yours is much better, more 'hands on'. That's a great handy little radio too, especially once it's been unlocked! As for an electric tandom well, see it all now! I've been looking at E-bikes, (not E-scooters) but new ones a bit out of my price range, ATM.

Absolutely a great way to do videos. Ty. 73. EA8...

Very funny that tandem. Did you win the lottery all those bikes etc…. Great video.

That's what I like about the Yaesu handies the wide RX, when you mod them some models will TX above 470 MHz so can use on the (Australian) 477MHz UHF CB band (not really legal) but handy to have the ham bands and that in one radio. With a telescopic or long wire antenna they perform quite well on the SW bands. You should be able to select FM on the SW bands, the VX3, VX5, 6 and 7 can and I've just done it on my FT3DR.

Hi Harry, been watch most of your video and appreciated for sharing your knowledge which really useful for us to decided taking a new radio technology. Can I have your opinion regarding which radio which could oeprates on UHF, VHF as well could be used on aviation? Thank you in advance

I'm gonna have to get me one of those Yaesu's. My old VX-8DR handheld also receives on 10m, I think CB too. Great radios

That unlocking technique reminds me of removing a jumper on a motherboard to unlock the BIOS password.

Sweet! Im always looking a ssb ht. Have the ol AR 1500 HH scanner.

I agree, ham and CB on the same rig is great, A person can start on CB, get their amateur licence and use the same rig. I know a lot of old school hams have a thing about CB but they forget that the CB craze of the late 70s saved the dying amateur hobby at the time.

The TYT TH9800 is a Clone of the Yaesu FT8900R and TYT does 26mhz-30mhz TX on AM as well as UHF /VHF Airband and more Some TX and Some RX Only, it's not a handheld, but it a perfect Radio for the Car at it's price

If it could transmit on cb

The antenna you are thinking of is fitted to the Yaesu FT817/8.

Well my Ft817 and Ft818 does CB and PMR and are very portable.

You can actually receive on CB frequencies in FM on the FT5D. All you have to do is using a programming software and select the save the frequency, and select the operating mode to FM. I have a code-plug if you're interested (FT-5D Programmer)

Hi Andy. Hope your well.

You can add the ability to receive ssb by adding a beat oscillator coupled on the frequency or at one of the intermediate frequencies. Vk3ye made a video showing how to add ssb receive to an am cb receiver

I like it, My favorite produk is YAESU

I always enjoy your videos bruva. Keep it moving

I like this Yaesu Radio and i would like to try C4FM. My Retevis RT3S can do also PMR446,dPMR446,Freenet,dFreenet and DMR i think DMR+ is also possible. the next Radio i wanna get is a Yaesu C4FM for shure XD

I think i'll wait to Baofeng make a copy. great video

It looks like a fantastic Radio Andy and well done on the video. Opening up the radio is the same process on my FT70D a small resistor to chip away on tbe back to allow TX on PMR446. I have to say though the only thing that lets down Yaesu radios is their reluctance to support DMR... Yaesu is adamant in putting their own C4FM Fusion on all their digital radios (In a similar fashion to Icom with D-STAR) and thus not supporting DMR makes it not ideal as a scanner due to the vast majority of commerical communications using DMR... It's the only downside to what appears to be a amazing set.

Cool radio

......but.....the Yesu FT-5D already does soooooo much. It's a GREAT radio, mate. Cheers.

On the FT2D I can press the mode button when on the CB frequencies and switch between AM and FM. Maybe it will work on the FT5D as well.

It is not so much about if it can be made to do everything, it is what is allowed (export). Then there is the price. Eventually, you end up with an SDR transceiver in this form factor. Probably cheaper than a regular handheld but with a lot more options and usability. I guess we will see something like that (flimsy) in a year or so, $100 at most. Output

Nothing like the Kenwood TH6A

hi andy i watch all your stuff on utube now its very interesting. i would like u to do one on your small car ?????????????

Hi dear Andy, you most probable (my FT5D can..) switch to FM mode on CB (11m Band) as well ... ;) take care buddy ;) OK2BAD Dany

Kenwood TH-F7 has dual recieve and HF recieve with all mode.. and that years old!!

Good review of a great little radio.

Nice 👍🏻

Keep up the radio videos mate enjoying watching 73 from Australia TOM VK3FTOM

I would definitly buy a radio that worked hf/uhf and vhf.

What was the model of that Radio de AB1OR

How do i put 5.73 as my offset freq on my yaesu ft5d?

wonder if this exists in CB + VHF ?

were can i buy one ?

There is definitely a market for a new am/ssb cb handie talkie with (fms in America?). The only one now is the weird working Albright ae 2900 that comes out in small batches on eBay once in awhile for the past decade or so. Which I have.

Andy, nice video, good title, but wrong radio. For this title you need a Kenwood TH-D74A/E. What do you think? Thanks for the video anyway.

How do you receive the cb band on this radio?

Is there a handeld which can TX/RX on CB and PMR?

Been looking for one for many years, no idea why the Chinese never brought a small one out :(

How is the APRS decoding? My ft3 only decodes 1/4 of the Packets heard.

Will this RX & TX on GMRS freqs?

I had the Yaesu FT3D. Hated it!

Yaesu Vx-6r and russian Alan 42 - and OK, optimal price

It's illegal to have a ham radio transmit on cb as the license condition is totally different. CB requires a certified unmodified radio to operate on the band a HAM radio does not meet the regulation for that band.

I seem to remember being able to get into Royston from Milton Keynes

Good toy

I was disappointed to find I can’t transmit on CB with my FT5D. I spent considerable money on it to get a SHTF single solution, and with all due respect to the Ham guys, radio is not a hobby for me….no transmitting. It sits in a box and waits for SHTF next to a handheld CB. Thanks for the extra gear to carry Yaesu.

I like the goodies impression on this video lol

Que rádio é esse?

Break break, got ur ears on Andy come on

There’s quad band mobile units - TTY 9800 - that do CB, PMR and VHF / UHF TX, problem is you’d ideally need an antenna switch in your vehicle, but in an HT those capabilities would be ever better … 🤪

I've been a radio ham since 1986 and i have never seen anyone talking on a handheld ham radio, what do people do with them?.

Where can I get one

Kenwood TH74 does wideband receive and does SSB, AM, FM & DStar! Trouble is they stopped making them and the cost a bomb even 2nd hand! :(

As a licensed HAM I cant stand the use of HAM radios for CB and the use of licensed band capable radios for people that can get on and generally ruin the bands for many people. However I really like your channel and I fully understand your stance and where you are coming from. You also make nice eBikes and I am an avid mountain biker.

What I'm after is an indoor CB antenna that works well.

Nothing new here as my kenwood thf 7e is 20 years old and does more than this plus ssb mode also...

A CB and PMR 446 would be gresat but the market for PMR 446 is so sall, even the Chinese wouldnt make one. plus the CB frequecies are differennt from the rest of the world unless it was a 80 channell CB. Now that would be insteresting

well i had turned on my CB radio for a week with 5/8 antenna... and no contact no receive at all..CB is dead :( at least in slovakia

What is on 49Mhz these days?

ook 11 meter OK

CB not even the Zombies use it

cb-58

You know, Music, you, moving about your neighborhood and if it's a problem, tell us why, VLOG us bro. Luv ya like a bro.

I miss the videos about electric vehicles. What happened to this channel?

By the way my name is Addison callsign AB1OR

What am I missing with cb radio? I just don't get it. I mean before the invention of the mass produced mobile phone, when cb radio was used to meet and communicate with people, I dabbled. But now, with the age of social media and mobile communication, I just don't see the need. Someone tell me what the fascination still is surrounding them.

Duuuu s d r

Andy!! I love your vids, But you can't just digress in to just radios, What happened to your Ebike interests and also all your other things we all fell in love with you?

Spend more time on life

why doesn't this "power house " support the one basic feature every dual band ht had in the nineties - the cross band full duplex?? perhaps because it is in fact NOT a "powerhouse" but just another useless p. o. s.?
