Yaesu FTM-150RASP FM Dual Band Mobile Transceiver
Yaesu FTM-150RASP FM Dual Band Mobile Transceiver – High-Performance Dual-Band Mobile Radio with Advanced DSP & Bluetooth Capability
The Yaesu FTM-150RASP is a state-of-the-art dual-band FM mobile transceiver engineered for operators who demand performance, flexibility, and clarity in their mobile communication setup. Offering true dual-band operation (V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V), this radio enables simultaneous reception on two different frequencies or within the same band — perfect for active amateur operators, emergency responders, and mobile installations.
Delivering 55W of RF output on VHF and 50W on UHF, the FTM-150RASP ensures powerful and stable transmission, backed by Yaesu’s renowned Funnel Air Convection Conductor (FACC) cooling system. Its high-resolution dot-matrix display, front-mounted speakers, and intuitive interface make it an outstanding choice for both mobile and base station operations.
