| Yaseu Vertex 270R - Amateur License required |
The FT-270R is a compact, high-performance FM hand-held providing up to five Watts of RF power, along with big audio output (800 mW) and unmatched protection against the elements!
Screw in jacks provide complete security for fingerswitch and headsets
Listening Only Business Band frequencies are already enabled on this unit. Great radio if all your advanced flying buddies, fellow competitors, drivers and support people are ham licensed and you are still wanting to listen to new guys without ham licenses. Provides the best exclusivity and range
Protected against water ingress to IPX7 specifications (submersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 3 feet), the FT-270R features long operating time, thanks to the supplied 1400 mAh NiMH Battery Pack.
The 16-key FT-270R includes direct keyboard frequency entry and direct DTMF input, along with quick one-touch access to YAESU’s exciting and fun WiRES-II™ VoIP Internet Linking system!

- Submersible!
- The FT-270R conforms to IPX7 specifications for submersibility (submersion for up to 30 minutes at a depth of one meter).
- Outstanding Receiver Audio
- The FT-270R's hefty 800 mW of audio provides plenty of volume when operating in a noisy environment.
- 1400 mAh Battery Pack Yields Long Operating Time
- The FT-270R is supplied with a long-life 1400 mAh Ni-MH Battery Pack, for extended operating time during search-and-rescue or public service event operations.
- Power Saving Circuit Design
- The FT-270R design includes Yaesu's exclusive power saving circuit design to ensure longer operating time that most other handhelds with comparable batteries.
- Expanded Receiver Coverage
- The receiver's frequency range is 136-174 MHz, covering many public service, marine, and government channels.
- User Password
- To prevent an unauthorized person from using your FT-270R, you may engage a security password that must be keyed in prior to operation, if you like.
- 200 Memory Channels
- The 200 memories may be partitioned into as many as 10 memory groups. Alpha-numeric labeling is available on all memories.
- Frequency Entry
- Operating frequencies may be entered directly from the front panel keypad, which may also be used for quick recall of memory channels by number.
- Weather Broadcast Channels
- In the U.S. version, a dedicated special memory bank of ten NOAA Weather Channels is available, with a "Severe Weather" alert capability.
- EAI (Emergency Automatic ID) Feature
- Ideal for search-and-rescue work, the EAI feature can be commanded on so as to identify your FT-270R, and engage your PTT and microphone, remotely in an emergency situation. So if you don't check in during a search, help can be dispatched, with the automatic TX function allowing others to perform direction finding.
- Tone Capability
- Besides the usual CTCSS and DCS Encode/Decode features you've come to know and love on a Yaesu transceiver, the FT-270R includes a "Split Tone" capability that allows you to Encode a CTCSS tone, and Decode DCS, or vice-versa. You can also Encode (without decoding) either CTCSS or DCS.
