Yaesu Original FT-65 FT-65R 144/440 Dual-Band Rugged & Compact Handheld Transceiver, 5W - 3 Year Warranty

Great radio. This one reads made in Japan. This radio is easily programmed from the face. I find no need for programming software or cables. I’ve received glowing reports about the audio from local hams and the 1 watt speaker is clear with a balanced output not harsh or too weighted towards treble. Yaesu dominates my shack now.

El único problema es que al usar el radio para llamar dice error pero se le ingresa un código y queda abierto para utilizar deberían enviarlo sin ese problema por lo demás buen producto se ve robusto y de buena calidad

Perfect! A rugged little transceiver.

Had to return the first one,Number button didnt work.

The product was as advertised and arrived in a timely manner yaesu is a top notch product

Great value for the money. A little complicated to use. Seems extremely well made. Very light.

I saw some reviews saying it was cheaply made or not of the best quality, but when I unboxed this radio, I was pleasantly surprised. It feels sturdy and has a nice weight and feel to it. My only complaint would be the programming. It’s honestly not terrible once I figured it out, but the included manual falls short, and I had to research online and use some trial-and-error testing to figure it all out. Over all, this is a HUGE upgrade from my Baofeng, and the audio and signal quality are excellent. As a meteorologist and storm chaser on a budget, this radio will make my adventures much more productive!

Buy this literally ANYWHERE ELSE!!! DXengineering , Ham Radio Outlet, or from Yaesu themselves. The Amazon listing is 40-50$ above the actual cost of this radio. Also, for those comparing this to the Baofengs, you clearly dont understand the feature or capability difference. The FT65 can do a lot more than the Baofeng and do it much better, but most casual HAMs will never use or need those features. Also this is NOT a CB radio. Not sure why its in that category. CB is 11 meters and requires no license, this is 2 Meters and 70 CM and requires an FCC license to transmit on.

Works well
