We are pleased to announce Yaesu new VHF Mono Band FM Analog Mobile Transceiver - The FT-2980R.
As its model name suggests, the new FT-2980R arrives with the solid feature configuration and mechanical
toughness of the ever popular FT-2900R - with a superior output power that is upgraded to 80 Watts !!
With the new FT-2980R, four output power settings - 80W, 30W, 10W and 5W – are selectable, allowing each
user to choose the power they want for their operating style and situations. A Massive Heatsink guarantees
a solid 80 Watts of RF Power with no cooling fan needed. Thanks to a loud 3 W atts of audio output, the
operator can enjoy reception - even in noisy environments.
Other useful functions included are; Alphanumeric Channel Display; 200 Memory Channels; CTCSS and DCS
Encode/Decode Built-in; Versatile Scanning Capability; Wide/Narrow Deviation Selection, Interactive
Programming Menu, and so on.
The new M-100 Microphone features a hybrid design - integrating high-quality Condenser and Dynamic elements.
The Condenser Microphone Element produces greater overall frequency response - with clear and crisp audio characteristics - while the Dynamic Microphone Element delivers enhanced low and mid-range frequency response. A set of one-touch buttons on the microphone base enable the two microphone elements to be used independently or in combinations to create the most favorable sound quality for each person's unique voice characteristics.
Built-in Low-Cut (cut-off at 340Hz, -6dB/octave) and High-Cut (cut-off at 2kHz, -6dB/octave) controls shape the low/ high frequency responses enabling changes to be made in the transmitted audio characteristics, according to user's preference and operating conditions.
The supplied TBC (Treble Boost Cowling) further enhances the voice response attributes in the important 1,000 - 1,500 Hz range, in order to develop a penetrating signal with a condensed and specific texture.
The PTT key actuates three Air-Cylinder Tubes, which afford a smooth and comfortable keystroke - free of a hard "click". The incorporation of a magnetic switch ensures long-life and stable operation.
The highly visible ON AIR LED Indicator clearly informs the user when the PTT circuit is active.
The supplied microphone cable can be used to provide power to the M-100 simply by connecting with compatible YAESU HF transceivers*. Current YAESU HF radio owners can immediately start using this new microphone as an exciting and valuable addition to their current ham radio operation. Whether it's for wider-range audio with more presence or focused energy to cut through the pile-ups, the M-100 is an exceptional station asset.
Since the introduction of D-STAR in 2001, Icom has been committed to improving and advancing the D-STAR experience. The ID-4100A and it’s advance technology does just that! The upgraded user interface and new enhancements provide a product other digital voice modes cannot match!

The ID-4100A’s full dot-matrix display gives the user the ability to see a lot of information on the screen. For example, Repeater list or GPS position information are clearly arranged and easy to read.
Users can pick between white, green, amber or blue as the backlight color. The backlight night time setting function, allows you to automatically change the display backlight brightness when the designated time comes.
The DV/FM near repeater search function assists you in accessing nearby repeaters, even in areas you visit for the first time. The function searches for nearby repeaters using the repeater memories with the GPS position information. To use the near repeater search function, the position data of the repeater is required. The ID-4100A will ship with the D-STAR repeater memories preprogrammed, but the position data of some D-STAR repeaters may not be entered or exact.
The integrated GPS receiver shows your own position, course, speed and altitude on the display and can be used for exchanging position reports, D-PRS and searching for nearby repeaters.
Add a microSD* card to store various information including voice memory, TX voice message, QSO log, RX history log, and GPS log data. Memory channels and other settings can be saved and loaded into the transceiver.
* MicroSD card is sold separately.
Install the UT-137 Bluetooth® board and download the RS-MS1I (for iOS™ devices) or RS-MS1A (for Android™ devices) to enable you to wirelessly connect to the ID-4100A and remotely set the DR functions, link with a map application, and send/receive messages over the DV mode. In addition, pictures taken by a smart device can be transmitted via the DV Fast Data mode or DV mode.

HRO is pleased to announce the introduction of Yaesu's new C4FM/FM V/UHF Dual Band 5W Handheld Transceiver - FT-70DR. The new FT-70DR is the compact and very attractively priced YAESU System Fusion transceiver; both the conventional FM operation and the advanced C4FM Digital mode are available.
The FT-70DR provides up to 5W of reliable RF power, and its large Front Speaker delivers 700mW Loud Audio Output. C4FM has better BER (Bit Error Rate) characteristics than other digital modulations, and thanks to it, the audio quality is exceptional.
The new digital FT-70DR naturally utilizes the Automatic Mode Select (AMS) function. AMS detects the operating mode of the received signal as C4FM digital or FM analog, and automatically and instantly switches the receiver to the appropriate mode. Users do not need to manually change between modes.
Multi-Colored LED Mode-Indicator equipped on its front case also assists an operator to enables hassle-free operation with AMS. This indicator clearly and visibly shows the transmit/ receive mode by changing its color, and the operating mode of the transceiver is easily recognized at a glance.
One of other distinguishing features of the FT-70DR is Digital Group Monitor (GM) with DG-ID and DP-ID. DG-ID (Digital Group Identification) and DP-ID (Digital Personal Identification) are the useful features newly included in the FT-70DR, to simplify the GM operation. Very simply, the transceivers selecting the same DG-ID or DP-ID can communicate but not others. Between 00 and 99 DG-ID and DP-ID are selectable, and users can enjoy group communication with friends in GM mode according to their operation needs.
Other included standard features and functions are; IP54 Rating (Dust/ Water Protection) construction, wide band receive coverage of 108 - 579.995MHz, Versatile Scanning Capabilities such as Programmable VFO Scan, Memory Scan, and Priority Channel Scan, External DC Jack for DC Supply Operation and Battery Charge, Mini USB port for convenient memory management and software updates, CTCSS/ DCS Operation, Automatic Power Off (AFO) feature, RF Squelch, Transmitter Time Out Timer (TOT) and Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO).
