Wow, what a fantastic review. I've watched many radio reviews, but this one blew me away. The images are amazing, so clear, so detailed and in focus ! Thanks for getting the camera close in and not showing half the screen of the background. So many reviews simply don't know how to use a video camera. Martin Lynch & others take note. This is how to review and film a radio.

Just wondering if you carried through on your statement regarding further updates on this radio. I have looked through your vlogs but can't see any. Great channel 👏 👍

Hands down the best, most detailed radio review out there. I ordered a 200DR yesterday. After watching this I feel like I can jump right into using it (for the most part). Excellent video! K9KCH

The FTM200 has launched at the same price as rhe FTM300 which has the same features but two VFOs. In the US the FTM200 launched at 70 odd dollars less than the FTM300. I think Yaesu intended this to be an FTM100 replacement but clearly the retailers are cashing in in it.

Nice little radio, and Yaesu seem to finally be improving their menus….but I’m not sure how good APRS is going to be with a single receiver. I usually leave VFO B on the APRS frequency on my FTM-400 so it can listen all the time. Would be interested to see how it works on this radio.

Nice review Lewis! Thanks! The band at a time makes this one a no-go for me. Will have to stick to my FT-8900 for while yet.

Great video on the radio; very nice overview of the features! Didn't know it had APRS. Do you know how it is implemented with only one receiver? I guess it will check 144.800 in the background on your set interval? And for APRS RX I guess you have to be on 144.800 all time?

No explanation of the Wires X button, possibly one of the most useful buttons, if you are using a C4FM/YSF repeater that has Wires X capability then you can press the X and it will connect in Wires X mode and you are able to change the Wires X Room. which means you can connect that repeater to the Southern Fusion Group which is a group of FM/YSF repeaters that covers Southern England or the North West Fusion Group (if it's not already part of those groups) it would be really good to see more regional Fusion groups set up. For me Fusion/YSF is the best DV mode, with none of the hassle and disappointment of DMR, I also have DStar but I have noticed it has started to get quiet and the number of UK reflectors is falling.

So you can't be mobile using APRS on B whilst using A? If that's the case the FTM300 wins for me.

Your APRS is set up to beacon at either the beginning or end of your transmission, you will receive APRS on VFO, B when you are listening on VFO A. My FT-5DE works exactly the same way, I'm not bothered by missing an APRS packet, if someone is sending an APRS SMS packet to me then it will try up to about 10 times I believe, so you will receive it as long as you are in range of an APRS iGate digipeater. Hint we need a lot more APRS iGate Digipeaters and APRS iGate Receivers in the UK as there can be big gaps sometimes

Not sure this is a good beginners radio. I'm eyeballing between this ( FTM 200 DR) or the FTM 6000R I'm completely confused with all the settings I have no idea what 95% of them are. I hear the FTM6000R might be more basic for a newbie.

Is there a way to get in contact with you? I´d like to make a "guest video" for your channel, explaining wireless headphones. I´ve witnessed, that you did cover a lot of topics in the past, about foreign (foreign to the UK) radio devices, and I collect wireless headphones, know about their history (At least a bit, not in detail). I´ve ordered some used devices from knowon online auction house, and plan to make a video about them. Starting off with the old VHF models, going up to the later UHF ones. In the Video I´d show some models, even take some apart (non destructive) and explain a bit about them... Eventually I also may include a range comparison of how far they will transmitt, and other things. I most likely will make the video, as I ordered the units, but I think it would "fit" to your channel well, so we could make it that I upload video segments non listed, and you then take them, and make a "whole" video out of them. We may get in contact, somehow, if you´re interested, and maybe we can find some audio to transmitt (do you know non copyright music?) ... just thinking. You could contact me via Impressum from senderbau 24. de website, or drop an email here, where I can contact you. If you are not interested in such things, it is all okay, I know someone who will publish my video then. Greetings: Stefan
