FTM-400DR

C4FM FDMA / FM
144/430 MHz DUAL BAND TRANSCEIVER

The FTM-400DR is the first mobile introduced to be a fully compatable radio partner for use on the YAESU System Fusion Dual Mode system.  Compared to other digital modulation schemes within FDMA, C4FM has excellent communication quality (BER: Bit Error Rate characteristics). C4FM is the standard method for professional communication devices in FDMA, and is therefore considered to be the main stream digital communication mode in the future.  Download our "Digital Communications Guide for Amateur Radio Operators" available on our web site that explains more about this efficient and reliable digital mode.

The FTM-400DR operates in three (3) Digital modes and an (1) Analog mode to suit your needs. This feature packed radio is our first Digital Mobile equipped with our new Automatic Mode Select (AMS) function that instantly detects the received signal mode. The AMS function enables stress-free operation and eliminates the need to manually switch between communication modes.
 
·V/D Mode   (Voice/Data simultaneous communication mode)
The digital voice signal is transmitted in one half of the band width. Simultaneously the other half of the 12.5 kHz band width channel is used for error correction of the voice signal and other data. By incorporating powerful error correction technology developed for professional communication devices, effective error correction codes provide the advantage of fewer interruptions to conversations. The Clear Voice technology developed for the C4FM FDMA Digital mode provides the ideal balance of error correction and sound quality.
 
·Voice FR mode   (Voice Full Rate Mode)
This mode uses the full 12.5 kHz bandwidth to transmit digital voice data. The increased amount of voice data permits high quality voice communication, providing superb sound quality for a “rag chew” with friends.
 
·Data FR mode   (High Speed Data Communication Mode)
This high-speed data communication mode uses the full 12.5 kHz bandwidth for data communication. The transceiver automatically switches to Data FR mode when transmitting snapshot pictures, and can be used to transmit large quantities of data at high speed.
 
·Analog FM mode
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.  This is the typical FM mode used by most typical non-digital handhelds and VHF/UHF mobiles.

When I boot up the WIRES-X software I see an error “not found audio device”. Why does this happen and how do I fix it?

The WIRES-X software is not getting the "ok" from your computer that something is connected to your computers mic jack. Typically you can connect any earpiece to your mic input jack and this should resolve the issue. If your computer has a single jack for both mic and speaker audio, then you may have to use a USB sound card that provides the two jacks. These can typically be purchased online for less than $10.

In PDN mode I get the error “Call cancelled in PDN mode” when I try to connect to “Room Name” in PDN mode.

Some rooms are set up to what we call a “multi-mode” room. This means the room will accept both digital and analog node connections. In PDN (Personal Digital Node) mode you can only connect to the rooms that have been set up as “Digital-Only”. This means in PDN mode you can only connect to those rooms who only accept digital nodes. Mixed mode rooms (example: AMERICA_LINK) is multi-mode, it will not accept a PDN connection.

Why does the WIRES-X button not work with my hotpsot? Or why can I not save Wires X rooms in my radios categories area with my hotpsot?

Off brand hotpsots do not use the true fusion protocol. Hotpsots do not connect you to the WIRES-X network, they connect to what are known as YSF or FCS reflectors which are not part of the WIRES-X network.

Snapshot Function (Image Data Transmission)

Simply connect an MH-85A11U (option) microphone with camera. Press the microphone shutter button to take snapshots, and then the image data can be displayed on the screen, and easily sent to other C4FM FDMA digital transceivers. Image data which was sent from a group member is displayed on the full-color screen. This image data also retains a time record and the GPS location data of the snapshot. It is easy to navigate to that pictured location by using back track function. In addition, you can observe on the screen, whether or not transmitted data was successfully received by the member station. The snapshot image or received data is stored in a high capacity micro SD card. You can recall and send that image data from the SD card anytime. The pictures and data files may be easily viewed and edited by using a personal computer. * Micro SD card (not included) is required for the Snapshot function

Digital Group Monitor (GM) Function

The digital GM function automatically checks whether members registered to a group are within the communication range, and displays information such as the distance and orientation for each call sign on the screen. This useful function not only enables you to see which friends are within communication range, it also permits you to see at a glance where all group members are located. Additionally, this function can be used to send messages and image data between group members. The Digital Group Monitor applies to direct communications between members; it is not applicable through a repeater. This is valuable feature for public service group activites, Search & Rescue operations, and any number of other uses limited only by your imagination!

Smart Navigation Function

Real-time navigation function enables location checking at any time. In digital V/D mode, information such as position data is transmitted together with voice signals so the distance and direction to the other stations can be displayed in real-time while communicating with them.

Backtrack Function

The Backtrack Function enables navigation to a registered location at the touch of a button. When hiking or camping, simply register your starting point or campsite before departure, and the distance and orientation from the current location are displayed on the screen. This is valuable feature for Search & Rescue operations as well as casual hiking and camping.
