Yaesu FT-70DE Dual Band Digital Handheld Transceiver (C4FM/FM 144/430 MHz, 5W)

The Yaesu FT-70DE is a compact, rugged, and affordably priced dual-band handheld transceiver, delivering both traditional analog FM and advanced C4FM Digital operation. Designed as part of the YAESU System Fusion lineup, this powerful handheld offers reliable 5W RF output and an impressive 700mW of loud, clear audio from its large front speaker.

The Yaesu FT-70DE features Automatic Mode Select (AMS), which detects the mode of incoming signals—either C4FM or FM analog—and instantly switches accordingly, allowing seamless communication across digital and analog systems. A multicolor LED Mode Indicator on the front panel visually displays the active transmission mode at a glance, enhancing user experience.

Equipped with Digital Group Monitor (GM), DG-ID, and DP-ID, the Yaesu FT-70DE simplifies digital group operations. With selectable IDs from 00 to 99, users can efficiently organize communications into groups or personal IDs, enabling flexibility for clubs, emergency comms, or friends coordinating via radio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why doesn’t the WIRES-X button work with my hotspot?
Most third-party hotspots do not support the true Fusion WIRES-X protocol. They connect to YSF or FCS reflectors, which are not part of the official WIRES-X network, and therefore do not support room linking or memory functions.

Why does my Yaesu FT-70DE shut off and restart when I press PTT?
This is a protective feature triggered by insufficient power supply.

  • Ensure the battery is fully charged.

  • Batteries can degrade over time and may need replacement.

  • A voltmeter reading below 6V usually indicates a worn battery that should be replaced.

Can I leave my Yaesu FT-70DE on the charger indefinitely?
No. While leaving the radio on charge for a few extra hours is fine, continuously charging the battery for days can degrade its lifespan. Only charge as needed to maintain battery health.

How should I store my Yaesu FT-70DE to protect battery life?
If storing for extended periods, remove the battery from the radio. Keeping the battery attached can slowly drain it over time, potentially leading to unrecoverable deep discharge.

What kind of range can I expect from the Yaesu FT-70DE?
Range is dependent on terrain and antenna elevation.

  • With the stock antenna at ground level: ~1–2 miles.

  • With elevation and unobstructed line of sight: significantly greater range.


If you’re looking for a reliable, feature-packed, and compact dual-band handheld, the Yaesu FT-70DE is an excellent choice for amateur radio operators, emergency responders, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking advanced digital and analog communication in a single device.
