Yaesu FT1DE vs Yaesu FT2DE
Home / Comparison / Yaesu FT1DE vs Yaesu FT2DE
Yaesu FT1DE or Yaesu FT2DE? I put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ spec sheets and photos to the same scale. The Yaesu FT1DE comes out better on weight; the Yaesu FT2DE on the battery. Both radios support C4FM, so they’ll also talk to each other digitally.
