Yaesu FT-950

Yaesu FT-950

The FT-950 closes the gap between the FT-2000 and the FT-450. A solid radio for the contester and DX chaser as well as for the newly licensed radio amateur. In good Yaesu tradition the receiver is equipped with three switchable roofing filters (3, 6 and 15 kHz) on the first IF (69.450MHz). They are followed by eight automatically selected bandpass filters for best large signal rejection. The proven IF DSP enhances even the weakest signal for best readibility.

A built-in tuner accomodates not quite perfect antennas, for example on a fieldday or during a vacation. The options MTU-xxxx pre selector filters and the Digital Management Unit DMU-2000 are well known from the FT-2000 (see below for details). With these options a high performance station can be built step by step. Whether you use phone, CW or digital modes - the FT-950 just fits your bill.

FT-897D

The FT-897 is a rugged, innovative, multiband, multimode portable transceiver for the amateur radio MF/HF/VHF/UHF bands. Providing coverage of the 160-10 meter bands plus the 6 m, 2 m, and 70 cm bands, the FT-897 includes operation on the SSB, CW, AM, FM, and Digital modes, and it's capable of 20-Watt portable operation using internal batteries, or up to 100 Watts when using an external 13.8-volt DC power source.

The bottom side of the FT-897 contains a “power source tray” which can accommodate up to two of the optional 13.2 Volt, 4500 mAh FNB-78 Ni-MH Battery Packs, for completely portable operation without any external power source. Maximum power output is 20 Watts (all bands) during battery operation, and with two FNB-78s you may expect up to eight hours of operating time (TX 5%, RX 5%, standby 90%). What’s more, you can charge one of the FNB-78 Battery Packs while operating the FT-897 off the other pack—ideal for situations where solar or other power sources are available. The optional CD-24 Charge Adapter provides the necessary voltage for charging, and it may be used in conjunction with an external 13.8 Volt source, or the optional PA-26 AC Adapter may be used to power the CD-24.

Mobile operation, using the FT-897 as the cornerstone, is pure joy! The combination of the FT-897 and the ATAS-120A Auto-Tune Antenna System provides automated operation from HF through the UHF spectrum! Using an external 13.8 Volt power source, you get a full 100 Watts of power output on HF and six meters (144 MHz: 50 W, 430 MHz: 20 W).

The FT-897’s outstanding fundamental performance invites expansion into a full-featured base station. The optional FP-30 Internal Power Supply provides operation from AC sources, and the clamp-on FC-30 Automatic Antenna Tuner option expands the impedance range of the transceiver. Round out your station with the MD-200A8X Deluxe Desk Microphone and the VL-1000 Quadra System Linear Amplifier for world-class performance at home! The power source tray of the FT-897 is designed to accommodate the optional FP-30 Internal Power Supply, allowing full-power operation from 100-120 V or 200-240 V AC power sources. The quiet switching-regulator design of the FP-30 is tolerant of AC input voltage variations, making it ideal for DX-pedition use! And to extend the impedance bandwidth of your antenna system, the innovative FC-30 Automatic Antenna Tuner option clamps onto the left side of the FT-897 in seconds!

Achieving 100 Watts of power output from such a compact package is a difficult mechanical and electrical engineering task. On HF, push-pull 2SC5125 Bipolar transistors driven by push-pull 2SK2975s provide the 100-Watt power capability, while on VHF maximum efficiency during battery operation is yielded by 2SC3102 bipolar PA transistors. The rugged aluminum die-cast chassis provides a solid foundation for the heat sink for the power amplifier, with a total of almost 40 cubic inches of heat sink surface area available. With its thermostatically-controlled twin cooling fans, the FT-897 will stand up to the rigors of DX-pedition or home contest use, with dissipation capability to spare!

The FT-897 includes a wide array of analog and DSP filters to help you dig out those weak DX signals on a crowded band! One-touch activation of the DSP filters, plus a convenient “DSP” LED on the front panel, enhance the ease of using the DSP. DSP Bandpass Filters, Noise Reduction,a nd Auto-Notch Filter circuits are included.

A wide array of features are tailored to the CW enthusiast operating from home or on an expedition! Included are a CW Tuning indicator, CW Pitch control, Electronic Keyer with three memories and Weight Control, and selection of Full QSK or “Semi-break-in” operation. For DX-pedition use, a unique “Beacon” mode allows you to send a repetitive message on, for example, six meters, to help others spot propagation to your location. And if you’re looking to upgrade your license class, the CW Trainer feature will send five-character letters and/or numbers via the speaker, so you can practice CW reception when the bands are dead!

*) When using the CAT-MATE on a FT-857/897 you cannot use a tuner FC-30 or FC-40 at the same time. This is because the tuners require exclusive use of the CAT interface. Workaround: Use the LDG AT-897plus tuner instead of the FC-30.

Yaesu FT-DX9000 D

A good mixture of traditional functions and latest technology - the new Yaesu flagship transceiver FT-DX9000D offers all.

The FT-DX9000D utilizes two independant receivers (triple conversion superhet) offering the best possibilities for hunting that rare DX. A high sensitivity (2μV SSB @2.4kHz) and excellent selectivity are Yaesu standard. The transceiver covers all amateur bands from 160 to 6m, the receiver covers 30kHz to 60MHz.

The newly designed "μ-Tune" preselector filters cover 160 to 20m and continue the well known VRF filter tradition from earlier Yaesu radios. The provide a very narrow filtering and optimisation of the first stage HF filter.

Three selectable roofing filters (3, 6 and 15kHz wide) work on the first IF level and are vital for providing an excellent blocking dynamic range. By utilizing the latest 32-Bit DSP technology at the IF level there is no need for buying costly crystal filters. Still you don't have to give up tried and tested filter functions - Yaesu extends the tradition of the contour filters known from earlier rigs, giving the DSP filters an almost analog feeling.

A new designed 400MHz DDS sythesizer works at the heart of the FT-DX9000D transceiver, resulting in superior reduction of phase noise and a very quiet receiver.

The transmitter offers solid 200W out, the final amp has very low distortions and offer Class A or Class AB mode operation. The built-in tuner allows the use of various antennas, the tuning range is 16,7 to 150Ω (160-10m)

Another achievement of Yaesu is to make such a complex transceiver still easily useable. Besides the traditional frequency display the FT-DX9000D offers a 6.8" colour display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution. Besides basic status information the screen offers a lot of functions which help the user in his daily operations. Some functions are: Status information, Audio display (Spectrum or waterfall), HF spectrum, a log book, world map with grey-line, world clock, beam map and direct rotator control (Yaesu rotators). All individual settings and the log is stored on a supplied CF memory card.

Two large analog S-Meters for the two receivers provide vital information at a glance
