Many because of Gavin (GM0WDD) who notes that ML&S have posted a product web page for the brand new Yaesu FTX-1F.
I used to be curious what new product bulletins may come out of the Tokyo Ham Honest 2024–that is thrilling information, certainly.
The next specs and particulars all come from Martin Lynch and Sons:
The brand new FTX-1F shall be accessible early 2025.
The brand new FTX-1F is a transportable transceiver using SDR expertise and offers 6W of energy output with the 5670mAh Lithium-ion battery pack (Which allows 9-hours stand-alone working time on the HF bands, SSB mode, and 8-hours working time on the V/UHF bands, FM mode based mostly on a 6-6-48 obligation cycle). As much as 10W of energy output is obtainable when utilizing an exterior DC energy provide.
-
- FTX-1F – True All-Rounder
- HF/50/144/430MHz All Mode Subject Transceiver
- Offering stand-alone 9-hours of operation
This info and the pattern proven at HAM FAIR 2024 are solely the preliminary introduction.
Detailed info shall be introduced at a later date.
Quite a lot of the basic and memorable options of the brand new FTX-1F are:
-
- Operation in SSB, CW, AM, FM and C4FM digital modes
- SDR Expertise and 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) on a 4.3-inch high-resolution full-color contact show
panel - Two impartial receiver circuits present true simultaneous dual-band operation, whether or not in the identical band or in
completely different bands. For instance: SSB communication on HF bands concurrently with C4FM digital communication
on V/UHF bands (*HF+V, HF+U, V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V) - Two Loud audio system guarantee clear and highly effective audio output
- An non-compulsory Automated Antenna Tuner could be connected to the rear of the transceiver with the 5670mAh high-capacity
Li-ion battery pack. The non-compulsory Cooling-fan, which is critical for snug FT8 operation, will also be
mixed with the antenna tuner. (All-in-one rear panel design) - RF front-end and Low Noise Reference Oscillator, allow Phenomenal Multi-signal Receiving traits
- Efficient QRM rejection afforded through Excessive-speed 32-bit IF DSP (YAESU’s famend interference discount
methods: SHIFT / WIDTH / NOTCH / CONTROUR / APF / DNR / NB) - Suitable with WiRES-X operation
- PMG (Major Reminiscence Group) perform can register and monitor as much as 5 ceaselessly used frequencies
- MAG (Reminiscence Auto Grouping) perform allows Reminiscence Channels to be categorized in every band that may be
rapidly recalled by band teams (HF/VHF/UHF/AIR/OTHERS) - USB ports help CAT operation, audio enter/output and TX management
The brand new FTX-1F shall be accessible early 2025. Please be prepared for this forthcoming thrilling new radio!
After I requested, prior to now, what readers want to see in an FT-818 alternative, many needed a spectrum show and SDR expertise–it looks like Yaesu was listening.
There’s no built-in ATU, however it seems they are going to have an “[a]n non-compulsory Automated Antenna Tuner could be connected to the rear of the transceiver with the 5670mAh high-capacity
Li-ion battery pack.”
What’s most shocking is that the FTX-1F has two impartial receiver circuits. That is fairly an innovation on the earth of field-portable HF radios.
I’ll put up extra particulars after they turn into accessible. Very curious in regards to the output energy, measurement/weight, and and receiver specs. It will be sensible in the event that they managed to get FTDX10 receiver efficiency on this transportable form-factor.
Keep tuned!
