Welcome back to the channel. In this video, we’re walking through a complete field setup of the Yaesu FTM-510DR — one of the most capable dual-band mobile radios out there. Whether you’re setting up in your car, your shack, or out in the field for an emergency or event, this guide will cover exactly what you need to get on the air.
We’ll start with power options — from LiFePO4 batteries to powerpole connections. Then we’ll go over antenna choice, mounting, and cable to extend the head of the radio. I’ll show you where everything connects — from the mic port to external speakers — plus how how to store your radio and track your radio if it gets lost.
Let’s get that FTM-510 on the air.
