AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS vs Yaesu FTM-500DE
Home / Comparison tool / AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS vs Yaesu FTM-500DE
AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS or Yaesu FTM-500DE? I put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ spec sheets and photos at the same scale. The AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS comes out ahead: power on 2 m, weight and memory channels; the Yaesu FTM-500DE: power on 70 cm, a detachable panel and a microSD card. Digitally, the AnyTone AT-D578UV PLUS supports DMR, and the Yaesu FTM-500DE supports C4FM — these systems won’t talk to each other, the common language remains analogue FM.
