Here is some info on the Yaesu FT-2900R and the FT-1907. The FT-1907 is a 440 radio that comes from China and works great if you don’t want a dual band radio! And if you still want to stay with a name brand radio for the 440 band (70cm).

    In Europe is not sold because it is devoid of the CE mark. In USA, I believe that it is not because it is not approved by the FCC.

    Very informative! Thanks for showing all the similarities between the two
    radios. I just wish I knew why Yaesu doesn’t sell the 70cm version in the
    US. A real mystery… Keep up the good work!

    One reason the FT-1907R may not have the weather alert is the NOAA
    frequencies are in the 2 meter range 162.400-162.550 and wasn’t made for
    the American market
