NIB: Yaesu FTM-6000R 50W 144/430MHz Dual Band FM Mobile Transceiver
I bought 2 of these mobiles in Dec. The current price is $310.002022 from GigaParts. One for my shack and one to go in my truck. It turned out putting one in my truck was not going to work for me do this one has been sitting on a shelf. I paid $200.00 in 2022 and the current price is $309.95.
I’m asking $175.00 plus shipping.
Yaesu FTM-6000R 50W 144/430MHz Dual Band FM Mobile Transceivers are basic yet feature-packed, delivering reliable and stable 50W transmit performance. The heavy-duty heat sink is equipped with FACC (Funnel Air-Convection Conductor). The speaker delivers 3W of clear and crisp receive audio which has been specifically tuned for radio communication. The easy-to-read, large-character monochrome display front panel is detachable and can be mounted at the most desirable operating position. The FTM-6000R supports Bluetooth wireless operation with the optional BU-4 plug-in module and optional SSM-BT10 headset or a compatible, commercially available Bluetooth headset.
Employing a new user operating interface called E2O-III (Easy to Operate – III), the FTM-6000R provides three user-intuitive operating modes to assign functions and settings. The most frequently used function can be registered to, and then recalled with a single touch, of the F1 key. Other frequently used functions can be assigned to a Function List and then recalled by simply pressing the "F Menu" key and rotating the dial. All functions and items other than those registered to "Most frequently" or "Other frequently" are selectable by pressing and holding the "F Menu" key and rotating the dial.
Up to five channels can be registered in the Primary Memory Group (PMG). Frequently used PMG frequencies can be shown in an easy-to-distinguish display just by pressing the "PMG" key. The MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) function automatically groups memory channels so they may be easily recalled by band: All memory channels; AIR band (AM 108MHz – 137MHz); VHF band (137MHz – 174MHz); UHF band (400MHz – 480MHz); and other bands (174MHz - 400MHz / 480MHz – 999.995MHz). The new FTM-6000R VFO Band Skip Function permits unused bands to be skipped, while the registered memory channels can be recalled; even if the frequency is in the skipped band. By pressing the "SQL BACK" key when the memory channel is displayed, the contents of the currently selected memory channel can be transferred into the VFO register. Depending on the operating situation, either the VFO or Memory channel operations are separately useable.
Some of the other features of the FTM-6000R are: Wide-range receive coverage from 108MHz to 999.995MHz; 1100 Memory channels with alphanumeric tags; Scanning Functions – VFO Scan, Memory Scan, PMG Scan and Programmable Memory Scan.

I bought this in Dec. 2020. My AO has a ton of RFI. I couldn’t find a good spot to put the 2nd antenna within easy coax reach of my shack so I never used it. Instead, I put chokes on everything and upgraded to a Yaesu FT-1000. I paid $189.95 in 2020 and the current price is $239.95.
I’m asking 150.00 plus shipping. CAT NOT INCLUDED!
Wipe out Noise and Interference!
Place a null up to 60dB deep on any type of noise
Plug your station antenna into the MFJ-1026 and your antenna system turns into a directional receiving array! You can place a null up to 60dB deep on any type of noise and interference arriving from any single direction and wave angle.
Wipe out interference and noise before it gets into your receiver!
It works on all modes -- SSB, AM, CW, FM and frequencies from 1.5 to 30 MHz
You can instantly change from nulling to peaking a signal at a push of a button and improve weak signal reception!
Wipe out all types of Noise ... lightning crashes from distant thunderstorms, severe power line noise from arcing transformers and insulators, lamp dimmers, touch controlled lamps, electric drills, motors, industry process, TV birdies...
Strong local ham overloading your sensitive receiver?
Cant copy your QSO? Cast a deep null on him and literally take him out -- you wont even know he's there. You can dig out a weak station hidden under a powerful one on the same frequency!
Null out your local AM broadcast station. Underneath, you might find an exotic distant station on an island you've never heard of.
Works on SSB, AM, CW, FM, RTTY, SSTV, Packet and Pactor -- all modes.
It works on all frequencies from 1.5 to 30 MHz, including all MF and HF amateur bands and shortwave broadcast.
Interference much stronger than the desired signal can be completely removed without affecting the desired signal. Prevent overload by canceling noise before it gets into your sensitive receiver.
The MFJ-1025 is effective with all types of interference on all modes.
Signals can be peaked or nulled. The MFJ-1025 and your antenna can electrically "rotate the array" while the antennas remain physically stationary ... adjust both direction and wave angle of null or peak.... change from nulling to peaking with the push of a button... ignore mutual coupling effects as phase and level are adjusted.
Use the MFJ-1026 as an adjustable phasing network. You can combine two antennas to give you various directional patterns and improve receiving signal levels.
Examples... two verticals become steerable array... your beverage and your transmitting antenna can enhance weak signals...two parallel staggered Beverage antennas can improve front-to-back ratio or steer nulls.
Connects between transmitting antenna and transceiver. To null, adjust amplitude and phase controls for minimum S-Meter reading or lowest noise. To Peak, push reverse button. use built-in active antenna or an external one. Has near constant amplitude phase control.
RF sense T/R switch bypasses your transceiver when you transmit. Adjustable delay time. Use external antenna to null or peak signals.
