Home / Comparison tool / Yaesu FT-7900E vs Yaesu FTM-6000E
Yaesu FT-7900E or Yaesu FTM-6000E? I put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ spec sheets and photos at the same scale. The Yaesu FT-7900E comes out better: transmit current draw, weight and memory channels; the Yaesu FTM-6000E: power on 70 cm.
