The Yaesu FT-25E is the European variant of Yaesu's simple, modern entry-level 2m handheld (launched in 2017). It delivers up to 5 watts of output power across three power levels, 200 memory channels with alphanumeric tags, and a wideband receiver that also covers FM broadcast (65-108 MHz). Without unnecessary frills, it is a purist, reliable amateur radio.
