Compact yet incredibly rugged, the FT-250R 2-meter handheld is derived from our Vertex commercial transceiver line, providing exceptional receiver performance along with clean, clear transmit audio. Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, the 16-key FT-250R is constructed inside a die-cast aluminum housing, with a large, high-output speaker delivering 700 mW of Loud Audio for outside field environments. And the illuminated keypad provides easy viewing during nighttime operation. You need a radio that's as tough as your operating environment; compare the features of the FT-250R to other handhelds, and youÂ’ll see that there is no comparison!
5 Watts Power Output
The FT-250R puts out a maximum of 5 Watts of clean power, with selectable power-saving choices of 2 Watts and ½ Watt also being available with the touch of a front panel key.
Long-life Battery and Desktop Charger
The FT-250R comes complete with a 1400 mAh battery and a desirable desktop charger
Loud Audio
The FT-250R provides 700mW of Loud Audio and is the perfect choice for noisy enviornments.
Power Saving Circuit Design
The FT-250R includes Yaesu's exclusive power saving circuit design that provides for longer operating time that most other handhelds with comparable batteries.
Direct Keypad Frequency Entry
The FT-250R includes a 16-key keypad, providing both direct frequency entry and fingertip DTMF control on transmission. And a 9-memory DTMF autodialer allows simple access to autopatches or Internet Linking nodes such as the Yaesu WIRES-II system.
209 Memories
The versatile memory system of the FT-250R includes a total of 209 channels that can store frequency, CTCSS/DCS information, repeater shift, and a 7-character alpha-numeric label to aid in channel recognition.
Wide/Narrow Deviation Selection
For operation in narrow-band channel situation, the FT-250R includes both Wide and Narrow deviation selection capability, to ensure compatibility with local operating requirements.
Ultra-Rugged Construction
The FT-250R is tested to meet the exacting requirements of MIL STD 810C/D for shock and vibration. Among the most rugged Amateur hand-helds ever created, the VX-150 is ready for action in the most challenging operating environments!

High power output, a huge, easy-to-read display, and one-touch WIRES™ Internet Linking Access capability are yours with the rugged new FT-2800M! Four selectable power output levels are provided: 65/25/10/5 Watts. The power selection may be stored into memory, allowing you to conserve power while using strong local repeaters. For easy repeater access, or silent monitoring of busy channels, both CTCSS and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) Encoder/Decoder circuits are built in. CTCSS and DCS configuration data may be stored independently in each memory channel. A “Split Tone” mode also allows operation on systems where CTCSS and DCS are used separately on the repeater uplink/downlink. WX Channels with ""Severe Weather"" Alert
