external speaker jack, mic connector and dc

power cord. There’s also a LINE IN jack for an

external audio source, such as an MP3 player.

There is an internal speaker in the radio body,

and another in the control panel.

Setting it Up

The FTM-10R comes with the control

panel attached to the main unit and can

be operated this way if you like. There’s a

mounting frame between the control head

and main unit, and out of the box it’s set

up so that the two units are parallel. Yaesu

supplies an angled mounting frame that tilts

the control head up or down. This might

improve viewing the display and operating

the controls in some installations.

I decided to separate the control head and

main unit. To do that, I had to remove four

little screws and unplug the short connecting

cable. The mounting frame (one screw) and

the rear panel cover (four more screws) were

removed to attach the longer separation cable

and install the BU-1 Bluetooth adapter to the

control panel. Doing this reminded me of

changing a battery in a waterproof watch —

there is an O-ring gasket around the inside

of the rear panel cover.

The interface cable is physically locked

into place inside the rear cover with a “bind-

ing plate” that slides into grooves that are cut

into a waterproof grommet molded onto the

cable. Once physically secured to the rear

panel cover, the cable end is pushed onto

pins on the panel’s printed circuit board. I am

sure this complex assembly arrangement is

necessary to preserve the water-tightness of

the control panel. The Bluetooth unit is also

pushed onto a PC board connector.

You can mount the control head with a

supplied hanger bracket or magnetic mount.

Yaesu also offers an optional multi-angle

bracket and the motorcycle handlebar bracket

mentioned earlier.

Menus and Controls

One of the buttons on the top of the

control panel is the PTT button. The control

panel is small enough that you can handle it

like a microphone or a handheld radio. The

supplied hanger bracket or magnetic mount

lend themselves to this method of operation.

On-air testing demonstrated that the default

mic gain setting was a bit too hot, and when

dialed back a bit, provided perfect audio.

For the most part, the FTM-10R menu

programming is straightforward. Pressing

the VOL/SEL key for 1 second gives access

to 49 functions that are selected by turning

the DIAL knob. Another button is used to ac-

tivate or deactivate the selected function. So,

49 functions are adjustable using the same

three buttons in the same way. In traditional

Yaesu fashion the menu items are numbered,

but also in alphabetical order, which makes

scrolling through them to find what you are

looking for somewhat intuitive.

In addition, buttons on top of the control

head are used for what is called the “Smart

Menu.” There are UP/DWN buttons that scroll

through functions such as squelch level and

transmit power level that are used more rou-

tinely. A third button, labeled F, changes the

setting of the selected function.

There is also a “Memory Set Mode”

with 13 memory channel items that can be

manipulated. This is where you can set the

transmit power level for each channel, add al-

phanumeric tags, reassign channel numbers,

and so forth. The clock also has its own set

mode with six adjustable parameters. It also

functions as a timer or stopwatch.

Bluetooth and VOX Operation

In recent years a lot of attention has been

paid to developing tools for “hands free”

cell phone operation. With the inclusion of

VOX and Bluetooth features, operating the

FTM-10R can be hands-free too.

We ordered and installed the optional

BU-1 Bluetooth adapter, the BH-1 Blue tooth

headset and the CAB-1 charger sleeve (to

charge the battery in the BH-1 headset). After

installing the adapter and charger sleeve, the

radio must be “paired” with the headset so

that they recognize and communicate with

each other. I found that the pairing instruc-

tions were incorrect in the printed manual

that came with this radio. (You must power up
