The
FT-250R
is an ultra compact FM hand-held providing up to five watts of RF power
and a wealth of convenient features for the 2m amateur band. The
FT-250R
has rubber
gasket seals around all external controls and connectors to help keep out dust and rain or
spray, assuring years of reliable operation even in harsh environments.
Sixteen multi-function keys provide the ultimate in programmability, with 199 freely tun-
able memories and two VFOs. All memories store repeater shifts or separate tx/rx fre-
quencies, CTCSS (Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System) or DCS status. You also
get one instant-recall “Home” channel memory and ten special purpose memories for
limited subband tuning/scanning. Busy channel band or selective memory scanning is
provided along with priority channel monitoring; 1 MHz up/down stepping; ARS (auto-
matic repeater shift) when tuned to repeater subbands; plus a top panel rotary dial for
memory and frequency selection. The keypad serves as a DTMF encoder during transmis-
sion, and up to 9 DTMF memories can store 16 digits each for quick playback of com-
monly used numbers.
The liquid crystal display shows seven frequency digits, memory selection, CTCSS tone
frequency, and includes a bargraph S/PO meter. Yaesu’s power saver system can be set by
the operator for optimum sampling/standby ratio, or can be turned off for packet opera-
tion. And our new APO (Automatic Power Off) system shuts off the transceiver to avoid
dead batteries if you doze off or are called away unexpectedly.
Operation under difficult conditions is simplified by a lamp button illuminating the dis-
play and backlit translucent keypad, diatonically assigned function-dependent keypad beeps.
