I Dodgen sa har jeg en Yaesu FTM-10R.
Egentlig ment for motorsykler og quad's, men jeg liker at den er vanntett.
Jeg kjopte min fra Hong Kong, og sparte $100.

Her er min mening om radion... (Jeg forutsetter at dere leser Engelsk)
Got the radio by mail yesterday from HK, saved about $100 by waiting 4 more days compared to buy it from a US dealer, only way I could afford the DTMF Hand Microphone.
Good thing I did, it by far surpass the display mic.
The manual is confusing , at least for me being new to ham radio, and I farmed out the to my friend KE7DZZ....
Now I am learning to use it.
Measured output on 2m is 55W.
Did for some reason not measure 70cm output.
This is a motorcycle radio, and not meant for my use, in my truck. However, that's where it is, and I need the water/dust proofing when offroading, it would be a great radio in a Jeep Wrangler.
If you detach the control panel, the radio unit is no longer waterproof, but I will solve that with grommets. Also I find the way the extension cable is attached inconvenient, and I will make a male/female cable and keep the short on the control head.
A HUGE minus is that I can not find a mic extension cable, so that limits where I can place the radio unit, that's plain stupid.
Even dumber is that there is no way to program via computer.
Ok, I need a water/dust proof radio, and in split installation that feature is "disabled".
I however solved the problem..
The two big holes in the piece between the control head and the radio got sealed with a solid center grommet.
Then I had a friend make me a cable using RGJ45 connectors. I thread the cable trough the center hole in the mounting plate, and plugged the cable in the radio, and filled up around the cable with silicone.
As of now, I am using a dual female connector between the short cable from the control head and the home-brew cable, but I will fit a female RGJ45 connector in my dash to get a better looking solution.
