User questions & answers

Question:	The heading says 550L. The description is for 550. Which isn't it and why didn't you make that clear to begin with
Answer:	The FTA550L is the same as the FTA550, but it includes a Li-ion battery and 110V charger in addition to the items that come with the FTA550.
Question:	Does this come with the cigarette lighter DC converter
Answer:	It does come with the cigarette lighter DC converter.
Question:	What does the package include
Answer:	FTA-550L Comes supplied with Li-Ion battery, 110V and 12VDC charger with cradle, Alkaline battery tray, Antenna, Belt clip, headset adapter, and USB programming cable.
Question:	Can I charge the lithium battery without a "110V to 220V transformer" outside U.S
Answer:	The charger that's in the box (U.S. unit) is for 110v only. My guess is that Yaesu will sell you the 220v version as an accessory. The other answers are obviously also options.

Product description

The A16 is the ideal flight companion for the student pilot. This radio practically pays for itself by saving pilots both engine hours and fuel during preflight communications with the tower. Users appreciate the A16’s compact, waterproof design for one hand operation for working on the flight line, using it for back up in any aircraft, or for use by ground crew. Its 2400mAh Li-ion battery lasts over 17 hours and the radio includes a nice sit in rapid charger. Air band radios are usually operated in high noise environments, so it is essential for the pilot’s radio to provide loud audio. The A16 internal speaker delivers a loud 1500mW audio output with clear sound to cut through cabin or tarmac noise.

• ANL (Auto Noise Limiter) for noise reduction
• Full keypad to input the channel or frequency directly
• Exclusive button for 121.5MHz emergency channel
• Side tone function to hear your own voice via a third party aviation headset
• LCD backlight for night time operation

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this the model that can locate the VOR when in flight
Answer:	The back plate reads "st. steel back"
Question:	Is there a head phone addaptor available for this from amazon
Answer:	There is 1 dark hour function that is available on the Casio Pro Trek PRG 50 bluetooth watch. Its the illumination button is at the 6 0'clock position on the side of the watch. There's an LED white light. It doesn't illuminate the watch face that well. The hour and minutes hands are lit up well enough to read. The downside to this watch is... the hour numbers and indices are not illuminated and do not have incandescent after glow, only the hour/minutes hands light up and glow for a while. Hope this helps.
Question:	Buenas tardes, el radio viene con cargador y batería de repuesto
Answer:	This product only for rear view camera. For DVR,we have one DVR for sell.The links of the items are :http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PPXMM5S/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me= 181-96300-21 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PPXRA3M/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with a Kore Aviation P
Answer:	no
Question:	Can I listen to 700mhz / 800mhz freqs
Answer:	Its not a CB.... A CB operates in 11 meters, this is a 2 meter VHF radio
Question:	Will this radio transmit on any ham frequencies outside the air / nav bands? Would like to communicate with wife on ground with her VX
Answer:	No. This is an amateur band radio on 2 meters. It requires an FCC license (test required) to operate. It will not transmit nor receive on CB frequencies.
Question:	What does it include in the package
Answer:	This is a "Customer questions & answers" area, not the dealer/distributor question area, so don't expect an answer from Amazon or SARASOTA AVIONICS INTERNATIONAL. However, I can provide that the US AC adapter with US prongs, is capable of an input of 100-240V ~50-60Hz (Yaesu AC Adapter SAD-18B). So all you'd need to get to make it work is a simple, appropriate country adapter to plug the provided AC adapter into.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where this device has been manufactured
Answer:	The ICOM IC-A25N Transceiver is manufactured in Japan.
Question:	Does this come with a charger
Answer:	Yes. It comes with the 110 wall plug in
Question:	Is there DME capability
Answer:	No, but has GPS. Not much experience playing with the Nav functions.
Question:	Can the gps functionality connect to an ipad to use foreflight
Answer:	No. From my experience there is no connectivity with foreflight. This radio uses the Icom RS-Aero app and Bluetooth to communicate. You can plan your own routes in their app but no connectivity with anything even google or Apple Maps. Great radio but stand alone unit. Bluetooth will work with your ipad and headset though if it is equipped. Nice for back up without fumbling for cords but you do need to turn on Bluetooth from the radio.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there an adapter pack to use aa batteries such as with the earlier fta
Answer:	No. This is a compact radio and comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery pack and charge cradle. No option for using AA cells.
Question:	I see Software for programing as a download but no programing cable? Is it avaiable
Answer:	The reprogramming cable does not come with the radio. You can buy one for about $25 if you need it. (I just did a Web search for “Yaesu 250 programming cable”.) 99% of all the features are accessible via the Setup menu on the radio. This is a great basic VHF backup radio for the price.
Question:	Does the headset adapter allow you to plug directly into the Bose A20 and uses the mic activator on the airplane yoke
Answer:	The BOSE A20 will connect to the radio via the supplied headset adapter. Ensure that you set the mic to external on the radio, otherwise the headset microphone will not work to the radio. You will need an inline, remote PTT switch, connected via the headset adapter, and mount it on the yoke
Question:	What does it mean by comm only? i would still be able to talk 2-way
Answer:	It means that receiving radio-navigation channels (108-117.95 MHz;"VOR") is not included. Yes, you will be able to talk and receive on other channels(118~133 MHz).

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone believe this scanner is easier to use than the Whistler
Answer:	The GPS receiver is installed but you need the plugin GPS antenna that must be purchased separate. (about $100.00)Any antenna can be used with the proper adapter. If you are using a outside antenna you just need to know what type of connector is on the end of the cable coming from the antenna and purchase the proper adapter. The stock antenna is SMA, but it comes with a SMA to BNC adapter. Adapters range in price from 5 - 10 dollars.

User questions & answers

Question:	I leave appx 9 miles from airport why is it that i can only hear the planes not the tower isnt the tower longer range
Answer:	I would recommend that you (or a trained professional) install an external antenna high enough to have radio line of sight (yes, there is a difference) to the control tower. The antenna should be designed for the aviation VHF band and the coax has to be terminated with a BNC Male connector to attach to your radio (in place of the included antenna). This solution should allow you to hear the transmissions from the control tower and give you more range on the airborne aircraft that you can hear. Please be sure to conform to all electrical, FCC, FAA, and local codes.
Question:	What type of battery is included
Answer:	Comes with a Li-Ion Battery Pack. However it does have an Alkaline Battery Tray that takes 6 AA batteries which are not included.
Question:	maximum altitude of gps functionality
Answer:	There is nothing in the Operation Manual that specifies max GPS altitude, but the industry standard for portable devices is 70,000 ft.
Question:	I bought one of these from Sporty's and it all works good eccept for the GPS NAV function. When I manually program in a fix and select GOTO it freezes
Answer:	i think you have to be within range of the ILS. Mine only works on 1 local ILS when I'm on the ground.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, can you provide a 220v charger
Answer:	You of course need to have a valid amateur radio license to use this radio. Provided that you and your family member are both licensed you could use this in pdn mode or using the wires x system to a node to talk to any other node in the world.
Question:	Do you need some kind of license to use this radio
Answer:	The minimum channel spacing depends upon what frequency (or band) you are using. Almost every ARRL book has a frequency table, where you can sort it out.
Question:	To charge this radio, do you have to plug the cord into the radio or does it have a charging tray that the whole radio fits into
Answer:	Carl is correct. VERY few (if any) HTs will Tx/Rx on SSB. I own this HT (and others). I have yet to find an HT which will even attempt SSB. This is a great radio. So is the Kenwood TH-D74. However, even the Kenwood (which is a tri-band radio) will not do SSB Tx - only Rx. So, the short answer to your question is, "No".
Question:	what all comes with the radio
Answer:	I ordered two in the event they were duplicates. 1 worked and 1 didn’t - upon closer inspection, and my option this is not an apple product

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the programming be done on an Apple Mac
Answer:	Yes it can and it's relatively straightforward IF you have the right cable.You need CHIRP http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download (get the latest daily build) and then you need this cable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUB0ONK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The beauty of this particular cable is zero drivers are needed, the Mac (at least Yosemite) automatically recognizes it. I wrote about my experience on this at my blog: https://chris.gonyea.com/2015/03/setting-up-a-baofeng-uv-5r-2-chrip-on-my-mac/
Question:	Can I get basic NOAA Weather stations on this everywhere (or, everywhere 'within reason
Answer:	Yes. NOAA uses 7 frequencies from 162.400 to 162.550 MHz. You can check the National Weather Service website at for specific frequencies used in your area. There are over 1000 stations, covering all 50 states. Most NOAA stations operate with fairly high power, some with as much as 1000 watts, so they should be very easy to hear.
Question:	If you transmitt with this unit how can effected partys trace to the source
Answer:	Bottom line is this: If you can put out an RF signal you can be found. Yes many variables go into finding the source and they can find moving signals also. Tens of Thousands of hams and or T-Hunters or Transmitter Hunters are around the globe. If you screw around with the HAM bands you will get caught.Get your Ham license it's easy and enjoy the hobby.
Question:	Can this be used as a FRS 2-way radio
Answer:	Reasons this makes a good "walkie talkie" (even though it is a HT - Handy Talkie 1) Removable antenna - can upgrade your antenna for your specific needs/significant improvement to performance 2) Can program the channels - not just FRS/GMRS channels 2a) Can set adjust power levels to more legal levels 2b) Can program NOAA freqs giving more value 2c) Can use/listen MURS (Multi Use Radio Service) - license free but kinda like GMRS 2d) Can set channels to receive only so nobody transmits channels they should not (NOAA) 2e) Can listen to school bus drivers, some fire departments and anybody else who uses radio (see 2d) 3) Can get test free GMRS license to legally use GMRS at full handheld power 4) Can get you a HAM license (technician class) and program Amateur UHF/VHF channels - impress your friends and ladies at bars 5) Can monitor two channels at once 6) Lots off menu options - customizable 7) Will learn about radios, "bands", frequencies and other cool stuff 8) Has more power than most walkie talkies - i.e. better range - especially if you upgrade the antenna Reasons this DOES NOT makes a good "walkie talkie": 1) To program you need to purchase the programming cable and to download CHIRP (freeware). Of course only one cable is needs for all the radios 2) Have to read instructions, try stuff on computer/radio and have it not work and you need to figure out why and maybe a youtube video or two.

User questions & answers

Question:	I can only hit two where I live. Is the extra 3 watts going to gain any range
Answer:	ANTENNA ANTENNA ANTENNA The extra watts will do less to improve transmission and reception than a quality antenna. As others have said, to increase your signal strength at the receiving radio by one S unit you have to quadruple the power output. The difference between the UV-5R standard radio and the "8 watt" "high power" radios is only a doubling of power. If you are on the move use the Nagoya 771 antenna (and watch you don't poke out your eye). If you are stationary, a homebrew 2 meter dipole or the Ed Fong antenna will significantly improve your transmission and reception. Amateur Extra HAM instructor VP local HAM club
Question:	what kind of range can I expect
Answer:	With the included antenna, you will get about 10 kilometers on open area land. About 5 kilometers in suburban settings. In urban settings, aabout a kilometer or two. In a boat, a bit further than 10kilometers. With the Nagoya extended antenna, you can make 20 kilometers, more or less, on open ground. However, use an external antenna on the roof of a building and you can double that range! Power does increase range. But, antenna increases range far more than more power.
Question:	I am trying to receive frequencies in the 800mhz range but it will not allow me to enter
Answer:	You can program these for whatever frequencies you want by downloading CHIRP and modifying the radio drivers with a text editor... Then just change the frequency range to 900mhz or whatever you want... I would not suggest trying to transmit at those frequencies but people have had some success with receiving frequencies out of band that way... You may also want to try an RF downconverter if you would rather go the hardware way instead of the software way... More info at http://www.brickolore.com/2012/05/baofeng-uv-5r-extreme-receive.html
Question:	Which frequencies will I be required to become licensed for? How do I know which repeaters I might use and their associated membership fees? Thank you
Answer:	You cannot use this radio in any unlicensed frequency. It is not type accepted for any radio service and is therefore illegal to sell, advertise, market, or ship to anywhere in the US. It is probably legal to use in a Ham band if you have a ham license. Ham licenses come with some great benefits, such as being able to use un-aproved radios, it is well worth the effort to get one. BTW, I have two of these radios. They work about as well as a UV-5R, of which they are a derivative They just over-powered a 5 watt radio to make it spit out 8 watts. It gets you VERY little extra distance and the transmission is really really dirty. It blows all over the 2 meter bands. If you want to see what the FCC does to out of service marketing Google "FCC DA-18-980A1". This radio has no legal use in the US except on the ham bands by hams. It is very illegal to use for MURS and FRS, and not even OK for FMRS. It transmits so dirty it is pretty obvious to anyone with a good HR rig with a display or an FCC truck that you are using a BF-F8HP. It's got a rather unique signal signature. If you want a Baofeng get one of these. They are all certified part 90 which makes them legal to sell and ship, and no questions about using them for Ham use. And get a ham license, it really opens up your options.
