FT-DX9000D review

El Robeto

August-20 2024

The yaesu FTdx9000D is well made radio, however the price have been droop a lot since the FTdx5000mp is so much better. In many way the FTdx9000D value is around 3500 Euro but in mint condition, with box and all accessory if you see 9000D "OVER THE 4K EURO" stay away since Yaesu will not service it, no parts. The price is giving after speaking to yaesu guys and some privet owner who have them for sale.
