Yaesu FTM-510DE ASP
55W/50W C4FM Digital/FM Dual-Band Mobile Transceiver
Advanced dual-band communication with Super-DX, factory-installed ASP audio processing, true C4FM dual reception and a large colour touchscreen. Designed for demanding mobile installations, home stations and everyday amateur-radio operation.
ASP Processing Already Installed
This version is supplied with Yaesu's SPU-1 Audio Signal Processor installed, providing Super-DX and ASP operation straight out of the box. No separate ASP board purchase or installation is required.

Hear more. Monitor more. Stay connected.
The Yaesu FTM-510DE ASP builds on the FTM-500DE platform with enhanced weak-signal reception, improved memory-monitoring functions and sophisticated audio processing. It combines 144MHz and 430MHz amateur-band operation with FM analogue and C4FM digital communications in one capable dual-band transceiver.
With a large touchscreen controller, genuine simultaneous dual reception, internal GPS, APRS functions and a powerful audio system, it is ideally suited to vehicles, fixed stations and operators who need to monitor several channels throughout the day.
The ASP version includes the additional processor hardware as standard, so its advanced FM weak-signal processing functions are available without installing an optional module.
Designed for demanding mobile operation
VHF Output
Up to 55W on 144MHz, with selectable lower power settings to suit local contacts and mobile installations.
UHF Output
Up to 50W on 430MHz for simplex communication, repeater operation and digital voice.
Weak-Signal Processing
Dedicated audio signal processing helps recover clearer speech from noisy analogue FM signals.
C4FM Reception
Monitor two receiving frequencies simultaneously, including supported C4FM/C4FM combinations.
Super-DX and ASP: two technologies working together
Yaesu's Super-DX function is designed to improve the reception of weak signals, while ASP processes received analogue FM audio to reduce unwanted noise. Used together, these functions help operators hear signals that may otherwise be difficult to understand.
Super-DX
Adjusts the receiver's RF processing to improve weak-signal reception in supported C4FM digital and FM analogue operation. It is especially useful where the desired signal is close to the normal reception threshold.
ASP Audio Processing
Specialised digital processing reduces the noise present in weak analogue FM audio. ASP is designed for FM analogue reception and does not replace C4FM's separate digital voice decoding.
In ASP AUTO mode, the radio can activate the audio-processing function automatically when reception conditions warrant it. Manual selection is also available for operators who prefer direct control.
These technologies can improve intelligibility under suitable conditions but do not guarantee increased communication range or recover a signal that is not present at the receiver.
Two frequencies. One capable transceiver.
The FTM-510DE ASP features independent A and B receiving paths, enabling simultaneous monitoring of two frequencies. This includes VHF/VHF, UHF/UHF and VHF/UHF combinations, together with simultaneous C4FM digital reception.
This arrangement allows operators to monitor a club frequency while listening to a repeater, follow two digital channels or keep track of local activity without constantly switching between memories.
Smarter monitoring with PMG and MAG
Enhanced PMG
Primary Memory Group allows up to five priority frequencies to be registered and monitored. Improved AUTO and MANUAL modes make it easier to select channels and follow ongoing activity.
MAG and My Group
Memory Auto Grouping organises channels by band, while the My Group function allows favourite memories from different bands to be collected together.
Auto-Fading Display
PMG channel activity indicators automatically fade when signals become inactive, keeping the display easier to read.
Touchscreen Selection
Choose operating channels using the large touchscreen and front-panel dial, making switching between active frequencies straightforward.
C4FM digital voice and traditional analogue FM
The FTM-510DE ASP supports both conventional FM and Yaesu's C4FM digital voice technology. Automatic Mode Select (AMS) identifies compatible incoming digital or analogue transmissions and switches the receive mode accordingly.
Digital functions include DG-ID, Group Monitor and compatibility with supported WIRES-X operating arrangements. These features make the radio suitable for local digital activity, club communications and wider network-connected amateur-radio use.
A clear display, wherever it is installed
The FTM-510DE ASP uses Yaesu's large detachable control-head design, featuring a high-resolution colour touchscreen and adjustable viewing angle. The intuitive interface provides rapid access to frequency settings, memory functions and digital operating features.
Adjustable Controller
An angle-adjustable control head helps improve visibility in vehicle and desktop installations.
Search & Go
Quickly select and navigate compatible channel and operating information.
Touch & Go
Convenient touchscreen access to operating functions and displayed frequencies.
Band Scope
A graphical channel activity display helps locate transmissions across the selected range.
Built-in GPS and APRS capability
The integrated GPS receiver provides position information for supported navigation and data functions. Smart Navigation offers graphical directional information on the colour display, while compatible APRS operation supports position reporting and other packet-data features.
With 1200/9600bps APRS data capability and microSD support, the FTM-510DE ASP is suited to operators who want more than conventional voice communication from their mobile station.
Add Bluetooth with the optional BU-5
The FTM-510DE ASP does not include Bluetooth as standard. Installing the optional Yaesu BU-5 Bluetooth unit enables wireless audio and hands-free operation with compatible headsets, including Yaesu's SSM-BT20 Bluetooth headset.
The BU-5 is the Bluetooth module fitted to the radio. The SSM-BT20 is the optional wireless headset. Both are sold separately. The ASP audio-processing unit is already included with this model and does not provide Bluetooth connectivity by itself.
Flexible installation with a detachable controller
The transceiver can be installed with its control head attached or positioned separately using the appropriate supplied or optional mounting accessories. This makes it easier to locate the RF unit away from the driving position while keeping the controls within convenient reach.
Optional installation accessories include control-head extension cables, dash-mounting brackets and the Yaesu SJMK-500 swing-head kit.
A suitable 13.8V DC supply and correctly fused wiring are required. In mobile installations, follow Yaesu's recommendations for direct battery connections, grounding and ventilation. For fixed-station use, select a regulated supply with adequate continuous-current capacity.
What's included?
Manufacturer documentation and standard small accessories are supplied according to the UK package. The BU-5 Bluetooth module, SSM-BT20 headset, antenna and external power supply are not included.
