A heat sink provides protection for surrounding surfaces as there is no cooling fan built into the transceiver. This heat sink extends two inches past the rear panel for maximum protective coverage. Adding an external antenna is an option with the back-panel input. There is a lot of emphasis placed on the quiet design of the mobile Yaesu FT-2900R radio transceiver lending to the lack of audible mechanical clicking from the buttons.

  • Great radio, runs hot

    Radio has great power output, many useful features, and rugged quality. I've used it for 2 days now and the biggest issue is the heat especially on high power. Radio can easily get to 150f after a 15 minute QSO on high power. Either point a fan towards it or install a cooling fan of some sort. It hasn't shut down on my from the heat yet but it is too hot to touch.
