U20528  Never Used Yaesu FT-2980R 80W VHF FM Transceiver

This Yaesu FT-2980R VHF FM mobile transceiver is in never-used, factory condition, we removed items from its original packaging to take photos for this listing. The matte black chassis, massive cast-aluminum heatsink, front panel display screen, tactile function keys, and rotary tuning dial are in factory condition. It comes complete with its full factory complement of accessories—including the MH-48A6JA DTMF microphone, mobile mounting bracket, fused DC power cable, sealed hardware packet, and original printed operating manual—all securely packed in the original Yaesu factory box.

The Yaesu FT-2980R is an ultra-rugged, high-output 2-meter (144 MHz) FM mobile transceiver engineered to deliver an industry-leading 80 Watts of solid RF output power without requiring a cooling fan. Built around Yaesu’s massive Die-Cast Heatsink chassis, it provides completely silent, continuous-duty thermal dissipation for demanding mobile and base station environments. It features an extra-large 6-digit backlit LCD display with 4-level dimming, 200 alphanumeric memory channels, 3 Watts of loud front-firing internal audio, built-in CTCSS/DCS encode/decode, and Yaesu’s exclusive Automatic Range Transponder System (ARTS). With selectable power output levels (80W, 30W, 10W, and 5W) and wideband receive coverage (136–174 MHz), the FT-2980R is built for straightforward operation and maximum long-range FM communication reliability.
