This video will work well for someone who has a relatively advanced level of experience with general ham radio operations and terminologies. As a newbie, I was a bit lost in the terminologies used to describe the functions. (Like... what is a DTMF so I looked it up) For me, the value in this video is in watching the navigation through the control screens, knobs and buttons and that was worth the watch. Thanks
Is the FT5D FM Narrowband capable as the FTM-400 is? I know the Icom ID-52 is narrowband capable, but I haven't found any indication that the FT5D can transmit an FM narrowband signal. There is at least one FM Narrowband Ham repeater in my area. Also it would be nice to set it to narrowband receive for monitoring public service frequencies without degrading the signal.
Minor correction: the mute feature which you disabled does not mute the B-band all the time. You will in fact still be available on both frequencies at the same time. The setting only determines what happens when both bands transmit at the same time. Then you get to decide if you want to ignore the transmission of the B-band in favor of the A-band or if you want to mix them together. Personally I don’t think it makes a ton of sense to have it on anything but “mute 100%”, because I can still see on the screen if there is activity on the other band and I can’t listen to two people talk at the same time 😅
I have a request of you but first, let me thank you in a big way for your excellent videos on using the features of this radio. Love that you've got several "targeted" videos showing how to use a specific feature or function. Been saving them to a play list for reviewing and reference. So much easier than the manual. Here's a request: When you're selecting a particular setting or a function from a menu with more than one choice, please explain all the choices there, if you know what they are. Sometimes you leave this out so I wonder when and why I would make a different selection. If you're not sure, saying that is helpful because if an advanced user such as yourself hasn't needed it, odds are I won't either and it's not something I need to look up now or, maybe, ever. Again, loved this vid - and all your vids on this radio - especially the targeted ones. You're videos have got me much further in just a few days of using one of these than I ever woulda been just reading the manual. The manual is good for telling me how, it does nothing to tell me why or under what circumstances I would make various configs or selections. 73!
Hi- Jay yes thanks good advice sometimes i skip by without explanation then go off and learn later if you need any targeted video please let me know 73
Thanks for the nice video, I have a question. In your video at time 15.20 the callisigns are scrolling but at time 17.35 no scrolling callsign How to make it NOT scroling??????
Great video!!! I’ve had my FT5 for over a year and your videos have been a big help learning how to use it. I have a question. What causes the LEDs to turn blue? I know I get green for RX and red for TX. Thanks….
at 29 mins 40 seconds I see the radio on the bottom says A12 in the top right corner on bottom freq 434.550. what does the a12 mean? I have it on my radio and trying to see what I done to it lol. thanks and great video man. 73
I just got my FT5D a few days ago, I put my callsign in and everything, then I tried to make a contact with a buddy on both 154.750 and 462.750 MHz and on some GMRS/FRS channels but every time I press the PTT button the radio beeps and says "TX Inhibit"on the screen an it does not transmit. I've looked online and I haven't found anything on this issue, or anything in the manual. I was hoping someone would have insight on this but I no reviews talk about it, it seems to work straight out of the box for most reviewers. 73s
If you are searching ( in channel mode ) , how do you lookout a channel, if it´s have interference, and also want it to search the channel again , how do you put in in active again....???, drives me crazy...cant find this
@@HamTechRadioScannerDrones I am trying program a local repeater onto the FT-5 but I haven’t been able to connect to it. I can connect to it via simplex but I was recently told by the owner I need to connect via duplex. Can you share the links with me? I watch your videos everyday and DIG THE HELL OUT OF THEM! Are you available to get on DSTAR reflector 4c? My call is KI5TLH
Hi I have never used that way as selecting a refelector using DR mode is alot easier also because a hotspot had so many modes you would have endless dtmf numbers .
I just bought a new ft5d and I cant believe the frecuency is hidden while scanning, its a very very bad idea and it is unacceptable. This feature converts the Ft5d the worst HT I’ve ever had in my life. I will sell it righ now and never buy again this model in my life. i can expect this from a chinesse baofeng HT, not with YAESU I CANT BELIEVE THAT I CANT SEE THE FRECUENTY WHILE SCANNING LU6CMV - MARIANO FROM ARGENTINA
You were far too fast (ans assumes a listener/watcher was very familiar with many terms in the radio) for someone who has just bought the FT%DR. Even if I repl ayed it many times I doubt if much would have stuck in my memory.
Great radio disappointment battery life if my Belfang kid room for 2 to 3 days without charging why can't they make this radio battery life the same way sad so sad

Hi , all my videos are also myself learning as I film , yes ft5 is an advanced radio my advice is learn one bit at a time .
Many thanks for showing well explained and great learning curve.
Thanks for another great video. I really appreciate the way you create your videos by topic for this radio.
Thanks Bruce check out my new Videos on the Xiegu X6100

Hi the reason you have two at the same time is because quite often only one has activity then you select the one you like .

Its fast but u can not see Freq change

Is it possible to insert a tone in the bottom half of the radio?
Not sure what u mean ?

Hi try this:th-cam.com/video/6RHDAX9gooE/w-d-xo.html
QUESTIONS: Can this radio save frequencys without a Micro SD Card? & What size card would you suggest?
Yes I use 16gb you use the sd card to back up and save .
Does the FT5D have a TX timer that will beep when getting near 3 minutes?
th-cam.com/video/31Zf67eEhx4/w-d-xo.html
ALSO, WHAT IS THE BEST (HIGHEST GAIN ) ANTENNA TO GET AND ANY MUST HAVE ACCESSORIES?
Hi talk to your local Ham shop but location is the most imoportant thing .
when you save a repeater, what frequency are you putting in. the repeater send or receive, silly question not asked.
th-cam.com/video/k3--2ozMqbM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Andreas have you or do you know if there is a way to connect to a duplex repeater?
Hi what do you mean ? You can add a repeater in the normal way or you can use split mode I have videos for both ways .

No the FT5D has many more functions the battery is good .
far too quick again!
I have made 50 Videos on this radio u need to pause and watch over and over again to learn .
Stop talking and let us hear the am/fm radio quality!!!! Geeze very frustrating!!
