General
Freq. Range: Rx 0.1–56 MHz (with gaps), Tx 160–6m (amateur bands only) Modes: USB, LSB, CW, AM, FM, Digital (FSK) Power Output: 200W PEP (100W in some markets) on HF/50 MHz; 50W AM Antenna Tuner: Built-in automatic (memory & continuous tuning) Finals: Two 2SC2879 transistors (50V supply for high efficiency)
Receiver
Architecture: Triple-conversion superheterodyne with dual 1st IF roofing filters yaesu ft1000mp
1st IF: 73.62 MHz (main) / 73.095 MHz (sub) 2nd IF: 8.215 MHz 3rd IF: 455 kHz
Selectivity: Multiple ceramic & mechanical filters included (optional Collins mechanical filter for CW) Dynamic Range: >100 dB (IP3 ~ +30 dBm) — excellent for contest use DSP: Built-in for NR (noise reduction), NB, contour, notch, and AF shaping Receiver noise floor: ~ -140 dBm (typical)
Dual Receive (Main + Sub)
True dual receivers (separate front ends, not just dual VFOs) Sub receiver: Covers same bands, can listen on different mode/freq Independent AF gain, RF gain, squelch, filters, and DSP Split mode with separate antennas (ANT 1 & 2) Diversity receive – phase/amplitude combining of two receivers for fading reduction
VFO & Tuning
Dual VFOs (A & B) with split operation Tuning steps: 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz (selectable) Main tuning knob: Heavy flywheel, optical encoder RIT / XIT (Receiver/Transmitter Incremental Tuning) up to ±9.9 kHz General Freq
Memory & Scanning
99 general memories + 5 band edge memories (per band) Scan modes: VFO, memory, program, fine (tuning scan) Multi-function scan pause/resume based on signal threshold
