Description
The Yaesu FTX-1 FIELD is a compact 10 watt portable transceiver designed for field use. It's massive design and reliable operation make it ideal for amateur radio operators and outdoor communication tasks. It supports all major VHF/UHF bands, has a long battery life and an easy-to-use interface, making it an excellent choice for hiking or emergency communications. HF/50/144/430MHz all-mode, wide coverage SDR transceiver for 100W base station and 10W field operation.
- 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’’).
- The Yaesu FTX-1 Field is supplied with a 6400mAh large capacity Li-ion Battery - SBR-52LI 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.
- 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.
