Yaesu FTX-1F – True All-Rounder

Preliminary introduction from press release:

The new FTX-1F is a portable transceiver utilizing SDR technology and provides 6W of power output with the 5670mAh Lithium-ion battery pack (Which enables 9-hours stand-alone operating time on the HF bands, SSB mode, and 8-hours operating time on the V/UHF bands, FM mode based on a 6-6-48 duty cycle). Up to 10W of power output is available when using an external DC power supply.

A number of the fundamental and remarkable features of the new FTX-1F are:

• Operation in SSB, CW, AM, FM and C4FM digital modes
• SDR Technology and 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) on a 4.3-inch high-resolution full-color touch display panel
• Two independent receiver circuits provide true simultaneous dual-band operation, whether in the same band or in different bands. For example: SSB communication on HF bands simultaneously with C4FM digital communication on V/UHF bands (*HF+V, HF+U, V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V)
• Two Loud speakers ensure clear and powerful audio output
• An optional Automatic Antenna Tuner can be attached to the rear of the transceiver with the 5670mAh high-capacity Li-ion battery pack. The optional Cooling-fan, which is necessary for comfortable FT8 operation, 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 Receiving characteristics
• Effective QRM rejection afforded via High-speed 32-bit IF DSP (YAESU’s renowned interference reduction systems: SHIFT / WIDTH / NOTCH / CONTROUR / APF / DNR / NB)
• Compatible with WiRES-X operation
• PMG (Primary Memory Group) function can register and monitor up to 5 frequently used frequencies
• MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) function enables Memory Channels to be categorized in each band that can be quickly recalled by band groups (HF/VHF/UHF/AIR/OTHERS)
• USB ports support CAT operation, audio input/output and TX control
