This cannot be changed and is the ID of the YAESU HT. Does anybody know a list how to decode this? If you don’t want to send, but receive, set it to MANUAL. If you don’t want to use APRS at all, set APRS MODEM 4) to OFF. 17) COM PORT SETTINGS. WIRES-X of course also supports traditional analog FM users. Not only can analog FM stations have a QSO with each other, WIRES-X also permits C4FM Digital stations to communicate with analog FM stations. WIRES-X is an FM friendly digital solution, because Amateur Radio should always allow operators to communicate freely all over the globe. Analog FM is effective when weak signal strength causes audio drop out in the digital mode, and enables communication up to the borderline of the noise level. Also the use of established Yaesu low power circuit designs provides greater efficiency than the digital modes.
Yaesu FT3D is the next flagship handheld from the japanese company, ready to be released in the following days. It covers VHF/UHF, features a full color touchscreen display, Bluetooth and many other goodies already present on the FT2D.
Yaesu FT3DR is the model expected to be announced at Dayton Hamvention 2019 in the USA, while the European market will get the FT3DE version. Availability claimed in June 2019, but no sign of FCC certification yet.
As Yaesu phased out the FT1XD recently and slashed the prices of the FT2D, the FT3D is poised to take the spot as the flagship model in the Yaesu handheld lineup. Bluetooth is an interesting addition to the FT3D, a feature that the rival Kenwood THD74 already has.

For all the details on the Yaesu FT3DE / FT3DR, see the catalog:
Still no hint about modern features like USB-C port and USB charging or WiFi connectivity, but we can at least hope they’ve done something about the awful user interface that plagued the FT2D (and most of their transceivers, to be honest).
First shops to list the FT3DR claim a MSRP of US$520, but we might expect that to drop a bit after it’s officially available.
