I normally don't buy ham radio equipment from Amazon because I try and support the ham stores so that they don't end up like Radio Shack, but this one was coming from Ham Radio Outlet anyway and it was a good deal. I had been going back and forth between radio options for my Jeep for a few months and had narrowed it down between the FTM-400 and FTM-300. The only thing holding me back from the FTM-300 was the size of the screen, but I decided to go with it anyway and I am glad I did. The screen is so very nice. It has excellent definition and color. It isn't hard to read at all. In fact, I prefer the smaller size in my Jeep because space is limited as it is.Now let's talk about performance. Although this radio (full disclosure: I am a Yaesu fan) is extremely easy to program from the faceplate, I used the RT Systems software to program in all of the repeaters and simplex frequencies and had it running in no time. The scanning is extremely fast even with a lot of channels. Sound quality from the built in speaker was loud, but since I have installed it under the front seat of my Jeep and often have the top and doors off, I added an external speaker (which is optional to have one speaker for both A/B or one speaker for each).The non-touch screen was actually a selling point for me. It works reliably and the menus are easy to navigate quickly. Not having the touchscreen menu items on the screen actually makes the screen size more comparable to the FTM-400 in usable space. It is also easy to use even if you are wearing gloves. I am also not continually cleaning fingerprints off my screen.One of the main reasons that I chose this radio was for the APRS function. APRS sends a signal that allows someone else to see your GPS location on aprs.fi. It also allows you to send messages to other people via ham radio. I live in Utah and a lot of the places I go do not have cell service. I like having lots of options to make sure that me and the kids get home. Ham radio is great for this, but just in case I would like for someone to be able to see where my last APRS beacon was and come looking for me. Yaesu has a separate manual just for the APRS function. It was easy to set up to my preferences even though I have never used APRS before.Also, I love the new microphone. Great build quality, intuitive button placement, programmable buttons and feels good in your hand. Yaesu did a great job with the mic.The body mounting plate is outstanding. Yaesu has gone to a mounting plate that the radio body slides into and locks. I have the plate screwed into the plate, through my carpet and into a board under the carpet of my Jeep. The radio then slides in and locks in place, with a release catch for easy removal. Simple thing, but works great.The faceplate mounting plate is very basic, but will work in most applications. I wanted something that was easily removable because I do not leave the faceplate in the Jeep when the doors/top are off. I also want to keep it out of the sun. Because of this, I purchased a Lido Mounts suction cup mount. It is a standard ball mount design and screws right into the faceplate. I can easily remove the mount from the ball whenever I need to take it out of the Jeep.To be honest, I'm not much of a Wires-X guy because we don't have repeaters near me and I don't run a hotspot, but this radio will handle that. I have had some YSF contacts and the audio was great.In summation, no buyer's remorse here from me. It is an excellent radio and an outstanding addition to my Jeep. Just a great product from Yaesu.***********************************************************************************************************************************************I rely on reviews when I make purchases so I put a lot of time into reviewing everything I buy on Amazon for personal and my business.
