Yaesu FT-65E Dual-Band 5W VHF/UHF Rugged Amateur Transceiver + High-Gain Whip & 12V Battery Eliminator (OGA-RF-082)
Japanese MIL-STD-810G rugged 2m/70cm handheld radio with superior RF filtering that never overloads on rooftop antennas.
UK Blackout & Field Application
Budget £25 handhelds use unfiltered single-chip receivers that suffer severe front-end desense (deafness) when plugged into a high rooftop antenna or operated near strong transmitters. The Japanese-engineered Yaesu FT-65E provides rock-solid RF front-end filtering, >60dB harmonic suppression, and RAYNET-grade build quality for regional VHF/UHF voice and Winlink packet operations.
Engineered for Both across Great Britain. In a prolonged utility outage, Yaesu FT-65E Dual-Band 5W VHF/UHF Rugged Amateur Transceiver + High-Gain Whip & 12V Battery Eliminator provides dependable off-grid capability backed by our UK warehouse support and plain-English commissioning documentation. Every unit is inspected prior to dispatch with an estimated UK delivery window of 24h.
