FTX-1 Field 10W Compact & Powerful Multi-Mode Portable Transceiver $2249.00

The Yaesu FTX-1 Field is a compact and powerful multi-mode transceiver built for versatile portable operation. This "Field Head" unit provides stand-alone operation across HF through V/UHF bands in all modes: SSB, CW, AM, FM, and C4FM digital.

Supplied with a high-capacity SBR-52LI 6400mAh Li-ion battery, the FTX-1 Field delivers 6W (5W QRP) of output power, offering approximately 9 hours of operation on HF (SSB) and 8 hours on V/UHF (FM) with a 6-6-48 duty cycle. The SBR-52LI battery can be conveniently recharged using a third-party USB Type-C PD cable (45W or greater/ 15V 2A).

For increased power in the field, the FTX-1 Field can also be operated with an external 13.8V DC power supply (via the included DC Power Cable with 2p-round plug), providing up to 10W of output. When using an external DC power supply, the FTX-1 Field also automatically charges the SBR-52LI battery.

The FTX-1 Field features continuous wide-range receiver coverage from 30kHz to 174MHz and 400MHz to 470MHz, ideal for SWL, FM broadcast, and Air-band listening. It also comes with the SSM-75E Hand Microphone for convenient voice communication.

Useful Features for HF through UHF:

• MAG (Memory Auto Grouping): Automatically groups memory channels by band for easy recall. The M-GRP (My Group) allows custom grouping of any desired memory channels.

• QMB (Quick Memory Bank): Stores frequency, mode, and settings of the current receiving signal for one-touch recall of up to 10 channels.

• PMG (Primary Memory Group) for VHF/UHF: Register up to 5 PMG channels for quick monitoring with AUTO scan (simultaneous reception of up to two active channels) and MANUAL scan options. Ideal for monitoring club member frequencies.

• AMS (Automatic Mode Select) for VHF/UHF: Automatically detects and selects between C4FM digital and FM modes.

• Memory Channel Scope for HF/VHF/UHF: Displays the reception status of up to 43 memory channels with a bar graph for easy selection.

Basic but Superior Features:

• Excellent Proximity Two-Signal Characteristics: Achieved through a powerful RF Front-End design with a 10-divided BPF in amateur bands and a low NF RF amplifier with excellent intermodulation characteristics. A high-purity 110.592MHz oscillator ensures a high-quality sampling clock signal for the A/D converter.

• SDR Circuit Configuration: Adopts the same high-resolution A/D converter and FPGA used in the FTDX10 for excellent fundamental receiving performance.

• Effective QRM Rejection: Features a 32-bit High-Speed DSP with SHIFT/ WIDTH/ NOTCH/ CONTOUR/ APF/ DNR/ NB.

• True Dual-Band Operation: Includes C4FM/C4FM Simultaneous Receive (HF/V, HF/U, V/U, U/V, V/V, U/U)*. (*HF/HF not available)

• 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Scope): High-Resolution 4.3-inch TFT Color Touch Panel Display.

• Intuitive Front Panel Design: Features Dual LED indicators for MAIN/SUB band status, a VMI LED for operation mode, and a FUNC dial for quick menu selection and setting changes.

• Super-DX: Expands communication range (available in all bands and modes except C4FM).

• “PRESET” Mode: Optimized for FT8 operation.

• 2 Large Front Speakers: Ensures high-quality and powerful audio.

• Aluminum Die-Cast Chassis: Equipped with multiple slits for high heat dissipation, ensuring stable high-power output.
