Hi and welcome to my auction. The item on offer is a YAESU FT-60E VHF / UHF dual band Transceiver. This was purchased a while ago by my brother, but has since become redundant due to new equipment.
The new Yaesu FT-60E is a great handset, covering 2 meters and 70 cm (144 / 430 MHz) for transmit and having an extensive wide band receive facility going from 108 - 520 MHz / 700 to 999.999 MHz.
The output side of the transceiver has a full 5 Watts available, or it can be reduced via the menus. The handset is fitted with a large, backlit, easy to read LCD display giving all of the information you require in one place, plus easy to use controls and keypad for function control and frequency input. The radio comes with a high capacity FNB-83 Ni-MH long life battery (7.2v 1400 mAh) and mains charger. It is fitted with its supplied standard antenna and has a wrist strap fitted via the belt clip. This offering from Yaesu also has its new Emergency automatic ID system built in. Large range of functions available through the menu system, user programmable memory and function keys.
There is even a password feature to prevent unauthorised use of your radio. Radio to radio cloning is possible with the optional CT-27 cable (not supplied in this sale). Other refinements include: One touch NOAA weather (US only), nine DTMF auto dialler memories, die-cast weather resistant case, ARTS Auto-range transponder system. There is also a Mono-band and Memory-only operating mode.
Size: 58x109x30mm, Weight 370g
This radio is used and has a few small marks on the casing. The only one of note is shown in the photos below (upper - rear right hand corner) - there are also a few small marks on the antenna and a slight scratch on the LCD screen. These do not take from the radio in any way and it functions perfectly in every way. Please see the photos below. These are of the actual item for sale.
Supplied in its original box with manual, charger etc and even complete with its supplied 'YEASU' sticker! The manual has been used and had a little wear (as do most transceiver manuals) - but is intact.
This was bought for £189 from Martin Lynch & Sons. Ideal radio for those on the move or indeed a fantastic first transceiver for foundation licensees.
