Second Thoughts: FTM-350R Crashes!

DateFriday, January 8, 2010 at 09:05PM

About six hours into the drive to Los Angeles today, the new radio hung while displaying a received packet.

The FTM-350R became totally unresponsive and only removing power from the radio brought it back to life. A quick disconnect did the trick.

Not a great beginning for the second day of use, huh?

My FTM-350R crashes about every two weeks. After it "locks up" the only way to bring it back is to disconnect the power and wait. The last time it was 45 minutes before I could get the radio to power back on. Really not a good way to start off.

Are there any recent reviews of the 350R. I have read a couple of threads stating that Yaesu may have applied som "patches" to fix issues.

Looking seriously at it for the APRS functionality.
