Yaesu FTM-100DE vs Yaesu FTM-300DE
Home / Comparison / Yaesu FTM-100DE vs Yaesu FTM-300DE
Yaesu FTM-100DE or Yaesu FTM-300DE? I’ve put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ spec sheets and photos to the same scale. The Yaesu FTM-100DE comes out ahead on memory channels; the Yaesu FTM-300DE on dual receive, Bluetooth and transmit current draw. Both radios support C4FM, so they’ll talk to each other digitally as well.
