User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with a Kore Aviation P
Answer:	no
Question:	Can I listen to 700mhz / 800mhz freqs
Answer:	Its not a CB.... A CB operates in 11 meters, this is a 2 meter VHF radio
Question:	Will this radio transmit on any ham frequencies outside the air / nav bands? Would like to communicate with wife on ground with her VX
Answer:	No. This is an amateur band radio on 2 meters. It requires an FCC license (test required) to operate. It will not transmit nor receive on CB frequencies.
Question:	What does it include in the package
Answer:	This is a "Customer questions & answers" area, not the dealer/distributor question area, so don't expect an answer from Amazon or SARASOTA AVIONICS INTERNATIONAL. However, I can provide that the US AC adapter with US prongs, is capable of an input of 100-240V ~50-60Hz (Yaesu AC Adapter SAD-18B). So all you'd need to get to make it work is a simple, appropriate country adapter to plug the provided AC adapter into.

User questions & answers

Question:	The heading says 550L. The description is for 550. Which isn't it and why didn't you make that clear to begin with
Answer:	The FTA550L is the same as the FTA550, but it includes a Li-ion battery and 110V charger in addition to the items that come with the FTA550.
Question:	Does this come with the cigarette lighter DC converter
Answer:	It does come with the cigarette lighter DC converter.
Question:	What does the package include
Answer:	FTA-550L Comes supplied with Li-Ion battery, 110V and 12VDC charger with cradle, Alkaline battery tray, Antenna, Belt clip, headset adapter, and USB programming cable.
Question:	Can I charge the lithium battery without a "110V to 220V transformer" outside U.S
Answer:	The charger that's in the box (U.S. unit) is for 110v only. My guess is that Yaesu will sell you the 220v version as an accessory. The other answers are obviously also options.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, can you provide a 220v charger
Answer:	You of course need to have a valid amateur radio license to use this radio. Provided that you and your family member are both licensed you could use this in pdn mode or using the wires x system to a node to talk to any other node in the world.
Question:	Do you need some kind of license to use this radio
Answer:	The minimum channel spacing depends upon what frequency (or band) you are using. Almost every ARRL book has a frequency table, where you can sort it out.
Question:	To charge this radio, do you have to plug the cord into the radio or does it have a charging tray that the whole radio fits into
Answer:	Carl is correct. VERY few (if any) HTs will Tx/Rx on SSB. I own this HT (and others). I have yet to find an HT which will even attempt SSB. This is a great radio. So is the Kenwood TH-D74. However, even the Kenwood (which is a tri-band radio) will not do SSB Tx - only Rx. So, the short answer to your question is, "No".
Question:	what all comes with the radio
Answer:	I ordered two in the event they were duplicates. 1 worked and 1 didn’t - upon closer inspection, and my option this is not an apple product

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use a fire stick antenna with this unit
Answer:	Jeff: Yes you can. You must use detach the flexible portable antenna, attach the provided vehicle 12 volt power source, and then attach the external antenna to the unit.
Question:	are there handle bar mounts for the radio for motorcycle
Answer:	The only one I've found was was from J@M model PACB-409-15. And they have a high opinion of it. I slightly modified an ARKON mount with the small pouch. I cut down the belt clip to fit in the bracket on dry days and use the pouch on wet days.
Question:	There are many magnetic car mount antennas offered....can you suggest the cheapest yet most effective antenna to go with this unit
Answer:	Remember your antenna is the most important part of your radio station.. Go with the Sirio Performer 5000, absolutely one of the best antennas you can get for the money.. You get what you pay for.. I've been a radio operator for over 50 years..
Question:	So with the adapter, you can plug the radio into something and it will use your car antenna or some other antenna and get further range? How far
Answer:	Your antenna is the most important aspect in getting good range on your CB. For the beginner, your best bet is to buy the Midland 18-2442, Center Load Mag Mount Mobile CB Radio Antenna, available on Amazon for $19.99. It works perfectly with the Midland 75-822 unit. The magnetic base is strong enough to stay put until you remove it. It should be centered on the roof of your car, or truck cab, to radiate the best signal.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there an adapter pack to use aa batteries such as with the earlier fta
Answer:	No. This is a compact radio and comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack and charge cradle. No option for using AA cells.
Question:	I see Software for programing as a download but no programing cable? Is it avaiable
Answer:	The reprogramming cable does not come with the radio. You can buy one for about $25 if you need it. (I just did a Web search for “Yaesu 250 programming cable”.) 99% of all the features are accessible via the Setup menu on the radio. This is a great basic VHF backup radio for the price.
Question:	Does the headset adapter allow you to plug directly into the Bose A20 and uses the mic activator on the airplane yoke
Answer:	The BOSE A20 will connect to the radio via the supplied headset adapter. Ensure that you set the mic to external on the radio, otherwise the headset microphone will not work to the radio. You will need an inline, remote PTT switch, connected via the headset adapter, and mount it on the yoke
Question:	What does it mean by comm only? i would still be able to talk 2-way
Answer:	It means that receiving radio-navigation channels (108-117.95 MHz;"VOR") is not included. Yes, you will be able to talk and receive on other channels(118~133 MHz).

User questions & answers

Question:	Are they only 120 voltage, can you have then in 220 voltage charging- like in Europe
Answer:	It’s not water resistant!
Question:	can you talk to 911 communications
Answer:	It works great in RV's. This is a VHF/ UHF Ham radio. It Transmits on 145.00 to 147.00 Mhz and 440.00 FM only. It will be great for emergencies but you will need to get a Ham license to use it.
Question:	what kind of ac charger is this shiped with? EU, US, AUST
Answer:	The quickest, cheapest way to use this radio legally, besides using it on FRS channels and keeping it under the required 2W or 0.5W, whichever one it is (and I'm not even sure if THIS would even be legal because it has a detachable antenna and I'm not sure if that plays a role in it's legality), would be to simply apply for your GMRS license... It's only $70 for 10 years, covers your entire family and your callsign is granted to you usually within hours of them processing your payment... This will allow you to legally use all of the GMRS channels (I believe some GMRS channels share with FRS) transmitting with radios up to 50W. So you can get nice 25-40W base stations, or units in your vehicle or what have you as well. That would be your best bet. You would only be able to transmit on the GMRS channels which is I believe around 465.0000 and above, don't remember the exact channels, but you can scan and listen in on any other channels to your heart's desire. Licensing only covers transmitting, not receiving. For more information on GMRS licensing, check out the FCC's website. They have a utility that you can use called the ULS (Universal Licensing System, or whatever) which allows you to apply for the licenses, pay for, view the status of your application, and view your license information such as callsign at any time. Though you need to register for an FRN, which is a number that you use to log in and apply for stuff or look up information.. Give it a shot, I recently applied for my GMRS license and got my callsign within a couple days. They were running slow, but I kept checking my application status and sure enough a couple hours after the point which the status said that they processed the payment, I received my callsign... You can enter your email address so that you're notified or receive your license electronically, but I haven't received an email from them yet. I just knew that I was approved by checking it repeatedly.
Question:	do you have to license
Answer:	Baofeng radio, seller is Mirkit

User questions & answers

Question:	Was planning on having these around the house. If the the Walkie talkie is on the charging stand, can you leave it on for convenient in-home chat
Answer:	All radios have a removable belt clip.
Question:	how loud are they? I need them for a warehouse and we use forklifts
Answer:	I did also buy the software disc and wire thinking I would need it to program the private lines. I used the radios right out of the box and cannot hear anybody else on any of the channels unless I purposely open up the squelch. It turns out I did not need the software or wire.
Question:	The last picture shows one radio with a belt clip. Do they ALL come with belt clips
Answer:	Yee, but these antennas do not hear very well.
Question:	Ok, I how do you down load the programming software? Is there a link to a down load that someone can post? Do you need to buy it
Answer:	NO it will NOT. It is for VHF (146 Mhz - 174 mHz) and UHF (450mHz - 470 mHz.) CB is approximately 27 mHz and won't work with that antenna.
