Yaesu FTM-150E ASP 55/50W 144/430MHz FM

The Yaesu FTM-150EASP is an advanced dual-band mobile transceiver that combines high power, robust features, and flexible functionality, making it ideal for both mobile and stationary ham radio operators. With a maximum power output of 55W on VHF and 50W on UHF, the FTM-150EASP is perfect for reliable communication over both local and long-distance frequencies. Users can select from four power levels (55/50W, 25W, and 5W) to suit their needs. Its heavy-duty heatsink with Yaesu’s FACC (Funnel Air Convection Conductor) cooling system ensures stable performance during extended use, even without an active fan, enhancing both durability and longevity.

The FTM-150EASP supports true dual-band operation, allowing simultaneous reception on two different bands or within the same band (V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V). Its full dot-matrix display provides a clear, high-resolution view of operating information, making it easy to monitor activity across bands. The detachable front panel can be adjusted with an optional SJMK-500 swing-head mount, allowing operators to customise the display angle for optimal viewing in mobile settings.

Designed for enhanced weak signal reception, the FTM-150EASP includes Super-DX mode and an ASP (Audio Digital Signal Processing) unit that filters and clarifies weak signals, providing a clearer audio experience and extending the communication range. Its audio system features a dual-speaker setup, with a 3W front speaker and a 3W main body speaker, delivering a total of 6W of high-quality audio. The main body speaker volume is independently adjustable, giving users flexibility in audio output based on their preferences.

The FTM-150EASP is packed with convenient features for seamless operation. The Primary Memory Group (PMG) allows users to assign up to 5 frequencies for quick access and monitoring, with real-time reception displayed on a bar graph. PMG can operate in AUTO mode, automatically switching to the active channel, or MANUAL mode, allowing users to stay tuned to a preferred channel while monitoring others. The Customized Function List (CFL) lets users assign up to 9 frequently used functions from the 62 available menus for easy access, and the Memory Auto Grouping (MAG) feature organises channels by band for quick recall.

Additional highlights include a high-resolution band scope, which displays up to 47 channels and allows precise frequency selection with dual dials for centre and marker adjustment. For hands-free use, an optional Bluetooth unit (BU-5) enables compatibility with Bluetooth headsets like the SSM-BT20 or any commercially available model.

With 1103 memory channels, memory data VFO transfer, split memory, dual microphone connections, and a microSD card slot, the FTM-150EASP offers extensive customisation for serious ham radio operators looking for a powerful, adaptable transceiver.
