Yaesu FTX-1F

Another new product from the Tokyo show is Yaesu's FTX-1F, a portable transceiver that uses technology SDR and provides 6W output power with a powerful 5670 mAh lithium-ion battery.

This allows 9 hours of operation on HF bands in SSB mode and 8 hours on V/UHF bands in FM mode with a duty cycle of 6-6-48. When using an external DC power supply, it is possible to achieve an output power of up to 10 W.

What are the features of the new FTX-1F?

• SSB, CW, AM, FM and C4FM digital operating modes
• SDR and 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) technology on a 4.3-inch high-resolution color touchscreen
• Two independent receiver circuits allow simultaneous dual-band operation, both in the same band and in different bands. For example: SSB communication in the HF bands simultaneously with C4FM digital communication in the V/UHF bands (*HF+V, HF+U, V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V)
• Two speakers ensure clear and powerful sound output
• An optional automatic antenna tuner can be attached to the back of the transmitter along with a high-capacity 5670mAh Li-ion battery. The optional cooling fan, which is necessary for the comfortable operation of the FT8, can also be combined with the antenna tuner. (All-in-one rear panel design)
• RF front end and low noise reference oscillator enable phenomenal multi-signal reception characteristics
• Effective QRM suppression using fast 32-bit IF DSP (known YAESU interference reduction systems: SHIFT / WIDTH / NOTCH / CONTOUR / APF / DNR / NB)
• Compatibility with WiRES-X operation
• PMG (Primary Memory Group) function can register and monitor up to 5 frequently used frequencies
• MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) function allows memory channels in each band to be categorized and quickly recalled by band group (HF/VHF/UHF/AIR/OTHERS)
• USB ports support CAT control, audio input/output, and TX control
