The Yaesu FT-60R has to be one of the longest radios available for purchase.
First released in 2004, the FT-60R is still for sale, 20 years later!
Yes, this is a Ham Radio, but this rugged two way radio has a wide enough receiver that it could be used as a conventional only scanner radio.
While it lacks some of the bells and whistles that most scanner radios have, this radio has enough going for it that the losses can be overlooked.
Todayโs review is broken down into 3 parts. ย A general summary review, a amateur radio review, and a scanner radio review.
