Description
The Yaesu FTX-1 OPTIMA is a versatile all-mode transceiver based on SDR technology, covering HF, 50 MHz, VHF and UHF bands. Its compact size (213 × 89 × 55 mm) and modular design make it an ideal choice for both base station and field use. The OPTIMA version includes the SPA-1 100 W RF power amplifier, which enables high power base station operation. In the field, up to 6 W (5 W in QRP mode) can be achieved with the included SBR-52LI 6400 mAh lithium-ion battery, or up to 10 W with an external 13.8 V power supply.
- The Yaesu FTX-1 provides continuous wide-range receiver coverage from 30kHz through 174MHz and from 400MHz through 470MHz including SWL, FM broadcast, and Air-band.
- The Yaesu FTX-1 FIELD and Yaesu FTX-1 OPTIMA shares the “Field Head” - a field compact transceiver (W8.4’’ H3.5’’ D2.2’’).
- Yaesu FTX-1 OPTIMA is supplied with a detachable 100W RF power amplifier - SPA-1 for a Base Station in addition to the SBR-52LI Li-ion battery for field operation.
- 9-hour stand-alone operating time with 6W on HF bands (SSB), and 8-hour operating time with 6W on V/UHF bands (FM) are available (6-6-48 duty cycle).
- The SBR-52LI is rechargeable separately with a third-party’s USB Type-C PD cable (45W or greater/ 15V 2A). When using an external 13.8V DC power supply, up to 10W of power output is available, and the Field Head charges the SBR-52LI automatically. By connecting the SPA-1 to the rear of the Field Head, the Yaesu FTX-1 operates as a 100W Base Station. No tools are necessary for connection.
- 100W Base Station Operation with external DC power supply. 6W (5W for QRP) Field Operation with the supplied Li-ion Battery. 10W Field Operation with external DC power supply.
The YAESU RF-Front End with Superb Interference Rejection
While the Yaesu FTX-1 is compact, it boasts excellent proximity two-signal characteristics thanks to a powerful RF Front-End design with 10-divided BPF (Band Pass Filter) In amateur bands from HF through UHF and RF amplifier with a low NF (Noise Figure) which is excellent in intermodulation characteristics. In addition, a high-purity 110.592MHz oscillator circuit configuration supplies a high-quality sampling clock signal with excellent C/N characteristics to the A/D converter.
Equipped with 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) High-Resolution 4.3-inch TFT Color Touch Panel Display
The large 4.3-inch wide full-color touch panel display affords outstanding visibility and intuitive management of the operating frequency, meters and main function settings.
3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream)
The 3DSS Real-time spectrum scope presents the constantly changing band conditions in three dimensions (3-D). The signal strength flows in time to the rear of the screen, then an operator can intuitively view the constant changes in a signal's strength. The frequency can also be instantly changed on the scope screen by touching the peak of desired signal.
3 Display Modes are switchable according to the User's preference and usage
With one-touch operation, the user can switch between 3 display modes to suit operation usage and preferences.
