Thanks a lot Katie. Always learn a lot with your videos. I bougth 2 days ago my new transceiver Yaesu FTM-300D and is very useful for me. Regards from Madrid - SPAIN- 73 -EA4LW
Just want to tell you I love the video especially the part the mom came back to you I just lost my mom and And it's very difficult for me But hearing your mom in the background put a smile on my face You have no idea What kind of smile did I have But just want to say thank you 73
I understand this radio has a port for a GPS antenna to plug into. However, I don't see any info about the size of this port. Where can I get the info about it? I have an external GPS antenna that has an SMA connector, so I'd like to know what (if any adaptor) I could get to connect the GPS antenna to this radio.
The best place to look for accurate information is in the user manuals on the Yaesu website (bit.ly/3CVUZ5t), or ask Yaesu directly through their support channels (bit.ly/3Mx8awS). I also did a Google search for "FTM-300DR external GPS" and found this page: bit.ly/3sb98FL
The only thing what I do not like, is the SO-239 female connector, bad looses & impedance for over 300Mhz. Why not N-Connector, like in the Europe version in some FT models?
Nice presentation Katie. Shame Yaesu punted on memory management, and had to disable the touch screen display (which is the same on FT3D). The 3D screen dumps noise into the receiver. Please do another review when Icom makes their next D-Stat rig announcement. Hope the Icom rig will be produced other than in China. Hello to Mom.
About 16 Months ago, I bought an FTM 100 D. The radio itself is fine, but it has issues for me in terms of my Diabetic Eyes, and Aspergers Syndrome. So I am selling the FTM 100. When that deal is done, I probably WILL get a new 300.
@@HamRadioOutlet THANK YOU for the nice reply. I think, based on the reviews I've seen that the 300 MAY be easier to program and operate than the FTM-100.
Been trying to figure out where it's made for a week now. Be nice if somebody could give a straight answer. I own 4 Japanese made Yeasu radios and like them all. If 300 is china made, it's about $200 overpriced imho.
KK7ART hey art, we have talked before on the 5.29 repeater. Anyway I’ve seen the sticker on the bottom. It’s China. And yes Yaesu seemed to have raised the price on the 400 to make the 300 look like a less expensive, feature rich option at the cost of killing off the 100.
I mean surely you have a short vid lined up atleast dropping you deposit requirements n specs on the rig ?? Maybe taking a demo model and the at120 on a mobile rig to a Am antenna transmitter site and showing the dx10 receiver working in the most extreme.
The manual says it requires 13.8V at least 15A, so any quality power supply of at least 15A would work. Samlex and Astron both make great 20A supplies. Something like this would work: www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-012070 or www.hamradio.com/detail.cfm?pid=H0-004427
Katie was the Social Media Manager at HRO until October 2020. HRO has 13 stores nationwide, but we also have a large internet presence. You don't have to work on location at our HQ in CA to do internet work... so her commute was non-existent.
Yaesu USA just put out a new video on this radio. Check it out for more in-depth details ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CW4o7cX-Nwc.html
It's a detachable head unit. It attaches firmly to the body, or can be remote mounted. Katie kept the control head off the radio so she could more easily show the display.
it is total downgrade. Notice they (yaesu) jacked the 400's price up 80 bucks to cram this into the price point that the 100 was perfectly positioned at.
@@linaskerbelis5636 And the 400 has a touch screen, which by the way is a lot bigger and many more brightness levels. But you even admitted the the 300 and 400 were basically the same with including a comment of a smaller screen, yet you asked 'how so'.
@@onemarktwoyou I am interested in the 300 simply for the smaller size and less touch screen more physical buttons to be used in my 4x4 driving over bumpy terrain etc. Besides being made in China (boo) is there any other drawback? Price is no issue.
skip to 2:30 I will keep my ftm-400, thank you very much, since the 300's screen lacks the visual pleasantness of the 400. If I was to down grade on the next radio I would buy a 'used' ftm-100, If I was to go cheaper, the FTM-100 is a better deal. Unless you run APRS, then buy the FTM-400.
