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.
FTX-1F HF/50/144/430MHz All Mode Field Transceiver
Providing stand-alone 9-hours of operation
This information and the sample shown at HAM FAIR 2024 are only the preliminary introduction.
Detailed information will be announced at a later date.
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
Features of Yaesu Musen “FTX-1F”
・Portable transceiver using SDR technology
・HF to 430MHz bands can be operated in SSB/CW/AM/FM/C4FM digital formats
-Fully compatible with APRS
– Equipped with a 2-wave fully simultaneous reception circuit, it allows for a variety of operations such as SSB operation on the HF band while citing local stations and C4FM on the VHF and UHF bands.
– Equipped with two BNC antenna connectors on the back. ①For HF/50MHz band, ②For 144/430MHz band
With a 5670mAh lithium-ion battery pack installed, it can operate for 9 hours in SSB mode and 8 hours in FM mode (measured with 6 seconds of transmission, 6 seconds of reception, and 48 seconds of standby), at 6W output. When using an external power source, the output is 10W.
– Equipped with “3DSS (3-dimensional spectrum stream)” that displays information within a band in three dimensions, with frequency on the X axis, signal strength on the Y axis, and time on the Z axis.
– Equipped with a 4.3-inch high-resolution full-color touch display
– Adopts a duct system with two speakers (30 x 50 mm and 25 x 40 mm) installed on the back of the panel, providing high quality sound and sufficient volume from the front panel
– Optional auto antenna tuner can be installed on the back
・An optional cooling fan can be installed on the back for comfortable operation of FT8.
– RF front end and low-noise reference oscillator provide amazing multi-signal characteristics
・High-resolution A/D converter and FPGA terminals for high performance SDR receiver circuit
