Yaesu FTM-3200DE vs Yaesu FTM-300DE
Home / Comparison tool / Yaesu FTM-3200DE vs Yaesu FTM-300DE
Yaesu FTM-3200DE or Yaesu FTM-300DE? I put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ spec sheets and photos at the same scale. The Yaesu FTM-3200DE comes out ahead on 2 m power; the Yaesu FTM-300DE wins on: AM airband, 70 cm power, dual receive, detachable panel, GPS, APRS / D-PRS, Bluetooth, microSD card, transmit current draw, weight and memory channels. Both radios support C4FM, so they’ll talk to each other digitally as well.
