| Yaesu FTM-10R
Any thoughts from the community on this rig?
Link to Universal.
Link to Yaesu.
My requirments are for a unit that can be moved from the 40 to the 100 without to much grief.
The 40 is a pretty brutal environment for electronics, wide open to dust, rain, mud, thiefs, etc.
The 100 is more secure but the dash is already pretty busy so size is important.

It looks like a very nice unit. Very impressive feature set.

| Bluetooth and wireless cloning (probably wireless programming also)!
Yaseu FT10M-R 4.5" x 1.6" x 7.00"
Uniden 510XL... 4.5" x 1.4" x 6.75"
I like it and I bet it will fit in the ashtray slot of the 95-97 models. With the BT headset you may not need or want a handheld mic.

| I liked the BT intercomm feature. Driver to passenger communication on the highway in the 40 is pretty much limited to essentials and carried on the top of your lungs screams. Thats with ther BFG T/A's, when I put the TSL's on there is no communication at speeds over 45MPH.

Before I saw this radio I was considering aircraft style noise reduction headphones and an aircraft intercom. The intercoms are cheap but the headphones are pricey. Plus we would look kind of funny.
I also notice that the radio receives broadcast AM/FM and has an audio input for an Ipod type device.

| After herding the 40 at highway speed with high cross winds this weekend Blue Tooth VOX and intercom are sounding more and more attractive.
I just wish Yaesu would publish pricing on the BT options for this rig.

Sometimes it takes longer to get the options to work correctly than the original estimate. I suspect this is the case with the bluetooth options.

Since I have no funds to buy any radio this is not currently a problem for me.

I don't even own a hard top so it is never secure from thieves.
As I mentioned it is a brutal environment.
