The 4XR and 65R aren't "Baofengs" but they're still pretty cheap low end rigs with poor performance and bad reviews all around. Sadly. the 60R is old as dirt, but it's still the better radio.
Poor performance? Per Yaesu's specifications, both the FT-4XR and FT-65R aren't much different than the FT-60R. From a comparison I put together a little while back...
Yes, the FT-60R will receive more spectrum outside the ham bands as the newer HTs. But what will you hear there? Not as much as in the past, given...
- Almost all TV stations moved to digital broadcasting.
- Many non-amateur two-way radio systems have gone digital.
The expanded range blocks coverage of the upper end of the amateur 900 MHz band, where repeater outputs are normally found. It was funny to find that the FT-60R lacks coverage of the 88-108 MHz FM broadcast band. I barely use a couple dozen memory channels in some of my amateur HTs, if I program frequencies used with amateur satellites. Otherwise, I don't program more than a handful of channels like 146.52 or 446.000, and maybe 144.390 for the APRS-capable HTs. I don't get close to using 100 memories, let alone 200 or 1000.
As for bad reviews, the Internet has lots of reviews on web sites, forums, mailing lists, etc. I saw
the QST review of the FT-65R (ARRL membership, and a login for the ARRL web site, required for that link) a little over a year ago. Acknowledging the price of the radio, it wasn't a bad review. I haven't seen a QST review for the FT-4XR yet. I even
wrote a review of the FT-4XR and FT-65R on another forum.
