It consists of an FT-857 transceiver, an SG-211 automatic antenna tuner, an antenna base for military whips, and a 5200mAh LiPo battery pack.

It was property of the army of the GDR.

The frame is made of aluminum and the total weight of the set is around 4Kg.

The rucksack also protects the radio from bumps and from the elements.

Program Software Ft 857D Manpack Software CDs Only

Is the software CDs only available thru purchasing from retail outlets or is there another alternative Such as free download.

It has a native Repeaterbook query import that you can specify your location and the radius in miles for local repeaters.

I selected 300 miles and filtered out RMR-only, P25-only, and DStar-only stations and came up with 180 2 meter and 280 70 cm repeaters.

I elected to use city locations instead of callsigns for repeater names to make it easier to identify nearby repeaters on road trips.

I used (memory bank) Band A for 2 meter and Band B for 70 CM.

Then I plugged in the data cable to my Windows 10 (recently upgraded from 8.1) laptop and in 45 seconds the radio was programmed.

Oh, and Chirp has created versions for some Yaesu radios but it might be awhile before they get to the FTM-100DR.

Chirp works great on my Baofung UV82s but does not have the Repeaterbook import Thats a nice feature.

Update, the FTM-100DR is single (memory bank) Band (A or B) RX with Dual Watch so I put all of the 2 meter and 70 centimeter Simplex repeaters on (memory bank) Band A so I can select scan though all of the local repeaters.

Then I entered the APRS frequency and copied - pasted the Yaesu System Fusion repeaters on both bands into (memory bank) Band B to keep the analog and digital stations separated.

Also I exported the 430 2 meter and 70 cm analog repeaters to a.csv file and chose 90 of them near backcountry fly fishing and hiking areas I frequently visit.

I rearranged the columns to the Chirp format, imported into Chirp and uploaded to my Baofeng UV-82s.

Like everyone else, Ive tried the free or inexpensive versions and I keep coming back to RT Systems.

In my opinion they make the best software out there.

Even the Yaesu branded software you can buy at HRO has RT Systems discs in the box.
