Earlier over the weekend, I installed a YAESU BU-2 Bluetooth Module into my FTM-400 DR. This page is just a log of that quick exercise. Accompanied by a YT video.

FTM-400 DR – Bluetooth Module (BU-2) and Installation Pictures
Hello N0AGI
Do you know if the BU-2 will pair with an Android tablet? I’m thinking if it does, then maybe APRSDroid might work with this radio through Bluetooth. Thanks!

Greetings! Were you ever successful in pairing the BU-2 to an Android and running APRSDroid? My TM-D700 is getting long in the tooth and I’ve been thinking the Yaesu with the big color screen would be nice.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I´m about to order the UB-2 Bluethooth module for a Yaesu FTM-100DR….due I want the sound of it on an external bluetooth speaker that I can hear/move around my house (out of the shack room).
Do you think that it will pear it?
Thanks for your help!!!
What kind of Bt range do you get from it? I will be mounting the radio body in my trunk and wanted to make sure it would reach. My VX8R only gets about 5’ of dependable range so I wanted to make sure that the FTM400 range is better than that.
Do you happen to hear an intermittent buzz on 70cm frequencies after you installed the BU-2? I’ve tried two different boards in the same 400 and I get an intermittent buzz until I connect the headset and then it goes away.
