the early '80s, the market gave the Yaesu Yaesu FT-ONE, a gigantic apparatus for continuous tuning, a peculiarity, which gave him a look that attractive, was the fact that you have two analog S-meter.
Shortly after the release of the Yaesu FT-ONE, released a new device that looks like it aesthetically and as "tonnage" means the Yaesu FT-980
Perhaps to rectify an output of a little premature Yaesu FT-ONE, which still remains an extraordinary system, here is a new system of generous dimensions and a myriad of commands and buttons, perhaps as many had never seen before!

around today Finding a Yaesu FT-980 is not easy, if you find it, do not let him escape!
