Yaesu FGPS-5 GPS Unit for FTX-1 Field / FTX-1 Optima

The Yaesu FGPS-5 is an optional GPS unit designed for use with the Yaesu FTX-1 series, especially the FTX-1 Field and FTX-1 Optima models.

This accessory allows the transceiver to receive GPS position data such as latitude, longitude, direction, speed and altitude, expanding the radio’s capabilities for portable, mobile and field operation.

The unit is especially useful for amateur radio operators using location features, position logging, operation on the move or applications such as APRS, when supported by the radio and the chosen configuration.

Connection is made to the dedicated GPS terminal on the compatible transceiver, allowing simple integration with the radio. Its compact format makes the FGPS-5 suitable for portable stations, outdoor activities, field operation and mobile use with the FTX-1.

It is an original Yaesu accessory, intended for users who want to add GPS functionality to the transceiver without using non-dedicated external solutions.
