Thank you for purchasing this Yaesu product.
ΠP The FT-70DR/FT-70DE is a handheld transceiver for operation in the 144 MHz and 430 MHz Amateur radio bands. It is compatible with the Analog FM and C4FM modes.
ΠP The FT-70DR/FT-70DE is rugged and compact (W60 × H98 × D33 mm (2.36″ × 3.86″ × 1.30″)) providing splash, water, and dust resistant features conforming to IP54 for mobile and field operation.
ΠP The AMS (Automatic Mode Select) feature automatically selects the analog FM and C4FM digital modes, according to the signal of the other station.
ΠP With the GD-ID (Digital Group ID) feature (19), the Group Monitor (GM) feature enables automatically locating, and communicating with other stations that have the same DG-ID number within contact range, by utilizing a matching group ID number
from 00 to 99.
ΠP The Digital Personal ID (DP-ID) feature may communicate only by the transceivers registered the individual ID information that is different for each transceiver included
in the transmission radio wave of C4FM digital communication.
