FT-4XE

Yaesu FT-4XE FM Twinband handheld transceiver

With the FT-4XE and FT-4VE Yaesu continues the successful series of compact mono and dualband handheld radios. The FT-4 offers a rich set of features in a compact and rugged enclosure.

The radios offer up to 5w  transmit power (switchable to 2.5 and 0.5 W), a loudspeaker with 36mm diameter presents the 1w audio power in a clear and easy to understand way. The supplied LiIon battery offers 1750 mAh capacity, enough for operation of up to 15 hours [1]. The supplied charger gets the radio back to full power in only 3.5 hours.

The difference between the two radios Yaesu FT-4XE and FT-4VE are the operating bands: The FT-4XE is a dualband radio for 2m (VHF) and 70cm (UHF), the FT-4VE is a monoband radio for operation on 2m (VHF) only.

The rich feature set conforms to highest industry standards:

• 200 memories,
• 10 programmable band scan edges,
•  independent Tx/Rx frequencies in a memory,
• numerous scan options,
• VOX operation (with optional headset),
• two freely configurable buttons on the radio,

The operating frequency can be set in steps of 5 t o100 kHz in VFO mode, CTCSS and DCS filter setting allow undisturbed use and targeted calls of individuals and entire groups. A WFM radio is also provided. With the optional programming cable all settings and memories can be controlled from a computer. The functions for cloning a radio are also provided.

Note: The antenna connection on the radio is a recessed SMA connector, i. e. female thread and male inner conductor. Accordingly the antenna has an external thread and a female inner conductor.

This means that only certain antennas from other manufacturers, e. g. Diamond antennas with a \"J\" in the product designation such as the SRJ-77CA, can be used.
