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

After trying a number of different dual-band HTs with varying success and quality, I finally landed on this beauty of a transceiver and love it. While it may cost a bit more than some of its competitors, it has the heft and feel of a quality piece of engineering and it functions very well.

Exelent Radio & Exelent Company

Works as advertised

This radio has incomprehensible programing algorithms and very poor disply. Unless you are computer programmer dont buy it. On the positive note it is very well build and has no harmonics = clean signal

GARBAGE. Does not transmit. Sending back for refund.

Great product and fast shipping

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!

easy to program and set up

Great radio, but bought at HRO for 89.00 usd

great quality. built rugged. dropped it a few times and withstood the abuse. reception is good but improved with better antenna. voice quality is excellent. overall very happy with my first HT
