This i have experienced with disastrous results. The CTCSS tone generator should have been standard as well as some of the filters.Ĭonsidering the age of the unit and that it low powered it is still a good performer,easy to use and set up, more stable temperature on finals due to large heat sink unlike the new high powered units that begin to shut down due to the smaller heat sinks, the PA modules cannot handle the heat and can become unstable. There not much to dislike about the unit except that the Signal meter could have had a white/yellow background instead of the black, requires considerable illumination to see the markings. The unit is easy to use, has its own mains power supply if needed. These are the features I was after in a Multi mode transmitter. However some modern computer software is not compatible with the CAT interface on the FT-736R. Full control of the trcvr, EEPROM modification, VoIP, TCPIP remote control, macro CW keyer, visual band scope. Besides FM has upper and lower SSB and can be computer controlled. CAT control and logging software project especially developed for the YAESU FT-897 transceiver. unlike today's compact VHF/UHF radios the unit can be expanded to 6 meters and 1296cm just by adding the modules. The Yaesu FT736R is a versatile VHF/UHF radio.
