YAESU FT-211RH
2m FM Transceiver
This little radio is working 100 percent. It has the optional CTCSS tone board. Every button, knob, switch, and light is functioning properly. I have tested it and used it on several local repeaters and I get very good reports on the audio quality. It comes in the original box with everything listed below. This is an unmodified radio, and it is VERY clean inside. I guarantee it will not be DOA. It is sold as is because of buyers who sometimes get a part they needoff the radio, and then say the radio doesn't work and they want their money back.
PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE................SOLD AS IS........................Mark AE4LW

The Yaesu FT-211RH is a 45 watt mobile FM transceiver from the late '80s and early '90s. The FT-211RH is part of a series of radios that included models for 222MHz, 70cm, and 23cm.
This rig has big, dual function controls, a backlit display that is readable in almost any light, and is intuitive to use. You don't need the manual to figure out this radio.
The rig has just 10 memories which is a bit inadequate in a larger metro area. It can do memory scanning or band scanning but it cannot do a programmed (limited) band scan. If you've done the extended receive mod, let's say to be able to pick up NOAA weather frequencies, you're left without a good way to just scan the 2m band. I find this a significant drawback. When I'm near home scanning the 10 memories is fine, but in areas where I don't know the local repeaters I want to be able to do a programmable band scan.
The angled display comes tilted up from the factory but can be reversed. I have an FT-311RM (222MHz version) on one side of the console in my car and the FT-211RH on the other side. It was no problem to reverse the display on the 2m version so that both radios were angled towards me. This was a very nice touch Yaesu only had on this series of radios and probably is one of the reasons the displays are so easy to see in all lighting.
The main thing to watch for if you buy one of these is to make sure that the FTS-12 CTCSS (PL) tone encoder/decoder is installed. If not they are almost impossible to find. I learned this the hard way and still need one for one of my rigs. With the PL board installed you just dial up the frequency you want which can be stored into memory.
When I switched to this rig in the car I immediately got unsolicited complimentary audio reports. People just seem to love the way the rig sounds on the air. Received audio is equally nice. I wonder if the previous reviewer's radio needed work. These rigs are getting a bit old.
All in all I bought this rig because it matched my 222 rig. I do like the FT-211RH but you really need to make sure you can live within its limitations and you need to get it for not much money since new 2m monoband rigs are quite inexpensive now. It's a good rig but, by today's standards, its lack of memories and scanning options keep me from calling it a great rig.
