U20397 Used Yaesu FT-2980R 2M FM 80W Transceiver

Overall Condition: Used, near-mint physical condition overall! Cosmetic State: Displays only very minor superficial scuffs on the side chassis fins specifically where the mounting bracket attaches; otherwise, the radio is in pristine, cosmetic state throughout. Front Panel & Screen: The high-contrast LCD display is clear and bright, and all front control knobs, volume/squelch dials, and soft rubberized function keys operate crisp and smooth. Rear Panel & Accessories: Heavy-duty die-cast heatsink chassis, SO-239 antenna jack, and power wiring harness are immaculate. Comes complete in its original Yaesu factory box with a Yaesu MH-48 DTMF keypad microphone, mobile mounting bracket, fused DC power lead, mounting hardware packet, USB programming cable, original printed operating manual, and spiral-bound Nifty Mini-Manual.

The Yaesu FT-2980R is an ultra-rugged, high-power 80-Watt 2-Meter (144 MHz) FM mobile transceiver engineered for dependable, long-range VHF communications. Built without a cooling fan, its massive die-cast aluminum heatsink chassis provides completely silent operation while reliably dissipating heat even during extended high-power transmissions.

Featuring 80 Watts of RF output power (selectable at 80W, 30W, 10W, and 5W), it includes 221 memory channels, CTCSS/DCS encode/decode, CTCSS reverse tone squelch, NOAA Weather Alert monitoring, and a loud 3-Watt internal audio amplifier for noisy mobile or shack environments.
