    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.

    Does not pick up the frequencies very well VERY disappointed in Yaesu FT-65 THE Yaesu FT-60 is a better value

    Instruction manual is bad. Very difficult to read, especially for a beginner. Want to use as an out of band programmable scanner… no! I would recommend buyers purchase programming software to save time and reduced levels of frustration.

    I really love this little radio!...it is VERY rugged (believe me, I have REALLY put it to the test) I have always been a Yaesu guy, and will always be...Great raidios at an affordable cost. Lots of features...like all radios, it can be hard to program by hand, so I recommend getting the programming software ( RT systems ADMS-65-USB) which makes it REALLY easy to do...battery charge lasts a couple of days after medium use, but get a long life spare battery...I highly recommend this little radio

    The reason why I am stating that this radio is the best radio is based on using the following radios 1. Yeasu FT3D - Waste of money fancy but reception or transmission is not good. 2. Yaesu ft-70dr - Nice but short battery life and reception/transmission was okay 3. Baoefeng bf-f8hp - Good but not certified for use in USA. 4. Other GMRS radios Now coming to Yeasu FT-65, the range and the power is outstanding and just to give you an example my son was driving down the road to hill side and I was in our house and there is no line of sight and it is through traffic and flat terrain, we were able to communicate up to 22 miles and it could have been more since my son was driving up the hill the Tesla battery was down but FT65 was still doing good. Transmission and reception is very strong and is very clear. The only challenge is programming this damn things is a pain so I purchased programming cable and now it is a breeze to set this radio up. I have done MARS Mod for emergency use and I was able to communicate with my son on GMRS when hiking with no repeaters. Also applying Mars Mod is simple and through keypad unlike other radios. This proved to be a good radio with my real time test and I dont believe in 5watts, 8 watts and signal test equipment all that stuff. This is real deal.

    Easy to add channels from the key pad. Like the duel display that shows the name and the frequency at the same time.

    So I bought this radio and it feels good, looks good, it is easy to use. It came with an awesome belt clip....... but no screws to attach it. None in the box, none in any of the wrappers, or in the back of the radio. I am still happy with the radio but a lack of quality control is going to cost this guy a star.
