Yaesu FT1XDE vs Yaesu FT2DE
Home / Comparison tool / Yaesu FT1XDE vs Yaesu FT2DE
Yaesu FT1XDE or Yaesu FT2DE? I put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ datasheets and photos at the same scale. The Yaesu FT1XDE is lighter. Both radios support C4FM, so they can talk to each other digitally as well.
