  • I like the idea that this is a very simple radio in a compact size
  • I like the size of the yaesu compared to the kenwood, to me it was just a bit too small in the hand
  • It is a pretty solidly built unit, the size and weight are just right for daily carry, the stock antenna is quite fair despite my local high RF traffic

Reviews around hand (5.00 of 5)

  • I just wanted a solid hand held 2 meter transceiver and the Yaesu FT-60R meets those requirements
  • Excellent Amateur Radio hand held VHF/UHF radio; Must be licensed ham operator to use this radio for transmit
  • Probably my second favorite hand held is the kenwood th-f6 and it has all the bells and whistles you could want in a radio, on rare occasion you can catch it on sale but still costs more than the ft-60r

Reviews around price (3.86 of 5)

  • I made the mistake of assuming amazon had the lowest price -- I could have saved $30.
