I purchased this as well with the FT5D and I agree. It’s practically unusable. Not sure if there is or ever will be a fix to make it better. I own a lot of Yaesu gear and love all of it but this should have never been released from Yaesu quality control in its current form. It’s my understanding these issues exist even if you use a different brand of Bluetooth headset. So it seems the fault is in the radio, not the earpiece. Also Bluetooth is a technology that has been implemented successfully for decades, so how does a company as big as Yaesu screw this up? That is the real question…..

Thanks for the review, I’ve just bought an FT5D and I was looking at this so I will probably give it a miss!

I am looking for a radio that has reliable and functional hands free Bluetooth capability for paragliding. Anyone have a radio who could comment on how well the Bluetooth works on the FT5DR? It sounds like it is not a worthwhile function. Is there an alternate radio model or brand that does this better?

What about converting an aviation headset to an adapter? No Bluetooth but at least you’ll be reliable
