Yaesu FT-4XE 5W Radio

FT-4XE is a portable dual-band radio transceiver, offering a maximum power of 5 watts, with the ability to reduce to 2.5W or 0.5W, allowing power adjustment to the user's preferences and prevailing conditions.

One of the main functions of this radio is Dual Receive, enabling listening to two channels simultaneously. The user can monitor two different frequencies at the same time. The radio transceiver has a wide range of communication and programmable options, including the ability to store 200 channels in the device's memory, use the VOX mode with an additional microphone set, computer programming, and cloning settings from another device. In terms of safety features, the model includes an alarm, channel lock, and automatic power-off.

Compact size and lightweight make the device very mobile and easy to use. QRK (Quick Recall Keys) allow quick access to key functions without having to search for them in the menu. They can be configured for actions such as recalling a specific frequency, initiating scan mode, or activating VOX mode. The built-in FM radio allows listening to your favorite station during breaks in communication.

ARTS function, known as Automatic Range Transponder System, acts as an automatic range verification system in radio transceivers. It automatically informs the user when the device leaves the range of another radio transceiver configured in the same system. This function is useful in professional work, such as on construction sites, during large events, or search operations, enabling immediate responses to lost contact with team members.

DTMF operation (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) involves using specific tones to control various devices or access telecommunications systems by generating certain tones. Each key on the radio transceiver's keyboard generates a unique combination of two tones of different frequencies, allowing the transmission of voice commands. The DTMF system is often used for remote control of gates, starting alarm systems, or dialing phone numbers. It enables remote activation and deactivation of functions in base stations and other radio transceivers supporting this functionality, which is useful in situations where direct physical access to the device is limited or impossible.

CTCSS operation (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) and DCS (Digital Code Squelch) are methods used in radios to filter unwanted signals and reduce interference. They allow receiving only those signals that contain a specific tone or code, which is particularly useful in environments with many users on similar frequencies. Both functions are crucial for maintaining communication channel clarity and avoiding accidental reception of transmissions from undesired sources, which is important in professional and hobby applications.

Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1750 mAh provides up to 15 hours of radio transceiver operation.
