YAESU FTX-1 Field (10W)

We are excited to introduce the new FTX-1 Field All-Mode HF/50/144/430MHz QRP transceiver.

The new FTX-1 Field is a portable transceiver that uses SDR technology and provides 6W of output power with a 6400mAh lithium-ion battery (which provides 9 hours of battery life on the HF bands in SSB mode and 8 hours on the V/UHF bands in FM mode, based on a 6-6-48 duty cycle). Using an external DC power supply, up to 10W of power can be provided.

The FTX-1 Field comes with a high-capacity 6400mAh lithium-ion battery for easy portable operation.

By connecting the battery to the back of the front panel, the FTX-1 Field provides 6W (5W for QRP) of stable RF power on all operating bands from HF to V/UHF in all modes: SSB, CW, AM, FM, and C4FM. The battery's large capacity allows for 9 hours of operation using the available 6W on HF or 8 hours on UHF (6-6-48 duty cycles). The SBR-52LI battery can be charged using a USB Type-C charger with a PD cable rated at least 45W/15V 2A.

When connected to a 13.8V DC power supply, the FTX-1 Field's maximum output power is 10W. Additionally, when connected to an external power source, the front panel automatically charges the SBR-52LI battery.

By purchasing the optional SPA-1 unit and connecting it to the radio panel, the FTX-1 operates at 100W (50W on V/UHF), making it an excellent base station.

Useful features on all HF/VHF/UHF operating bands:

MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) for HF/VHF/UHF: Memory channels are automatically grouped and can be recalled by band group. In M-GRP (My Group), you can set any desired memory channel, regardless of frequency.

QMB (Quick Memory Bank) for HF/VHF/UHF: QMB stores the frequency, mode, transmit/receive settings, filters, and other parameters of the currently received signal. Up to 10 channels can be recalled with a single touch of the [QMB] key.

PMG (Primary Memory Group) for VHF/UHF: Up to 5 PMG channels can be registered and quickly monitored. In AUTO mode, all PMG channels are scanned and up to two channels with signals are received simultaneously. In MANUAL mode, the manually selected PMG channel is always scanned and listened to. Other PMG channels are also scanned and, if they detect a signal, can be received and listened to simultaneously. The PMG function is useful for monitoring the channels used by club members for communication.

AMS (Automatic Mode Select) for VHF/UHF: AMS automatically determines whether the received signal is C4FM digital or FM and sets the receiver to the appropriate mode. The user does not need to manually change modes.

Memory Channel Scope for HF/VHF/UHF: The reception status of up to 43 memory channels can be displayed with a bar graph. Transmit/receive channels can be selected by touching the bar graph.

Other notable features of the new FTX-1 include:

Excellent close-range signal handling capabilities thanks to a powerful RF front end with a 10-bandpass filter (BPF) design divided into the HF to UHF amateur radio bands and a low-noise-figure (NF) RF amplifier, excellent for intermodulation performance. Additionally, a high-purity 110.592 MHz oscillator provides the A/D converter with a high-quality sampling clock signal with excellent C/N (Carrier-to-Noise) characteristics.

SDR circuit configuration ensures excellent fundamental reception performance, adopting the same high-resolution A/D converter and FPGA used in the FTDX10.

Effective interference reduction (QRM) thanks to a high-speed 32-bit DSP, which offers SHIFT / WIDTH / NOTCH / CONTOUR / APF (Audio Peak Filter) / DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) and NB (Noise Blanker) functions.

True dual-band operation, including C4FM/C4FM simultaneous reception (HF/V, HF/U, V/U, U/V, V/V, U/U) - HF/HF not available.

3DSS (3D Spectrum Scope) with a high-resolution 4.3-inch TFT color touch display.

Intuitive front panel design, with dual LEDs above the MAIN VFO indicating the current reception status of the MAIN/SUB bands, a VMI (VFO Mode Indicator) LED to show the current operating mode (MAIN, SUB, and clarifier/split operations), and a FUNC (Function) knob for quick menu selection and value changes.

Super-DX expands communication range - Super-DX can be activated on all bands and in all modes except C4FM.

"PRESET" mode, ideal for use with FT8.

Two large front speakers provide powerful audio.

High-quality, durable construction.

Die-cast aluminum chassis with numerous vents for efficient heat dissipation, ensuring stable, high-power output.
