 IC-7300

 

 

 

One of the Most Innovative HF Radios Available Today

Amateur radio always embraces new technology and the way receivers are designed. The IC-7300 is no different. In an industry first the IC-7300 features RF, Direct Sampling typical only found in top of the line radio but now in an entry level HF radio. Because of the ability to digitize RF early in the receiver stage noise is reduced. Something IF radios struggle to achieve. Compared to other entry level radios, the IC-7300 easily out performs all others and is in a class all by itself.

Typical Output Power: 100 Watts (25 Watts on AM)
Receiver Architecture: Direct sampling - FPGA Processing
Reception Frequencies: 0.030 MHz - 74.80 MHz

The IC-7300 and RF Direct Sampling

Noisy IF (Intermediate Frequency) transformation architecture is eliminated in the IC-7300. Direct RF sampling is utilized instead. In this process RF signals are directly converted to digital data. An extremely streamlined process. The digital data is then sent to an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) for processing. The FPGA reduces the need for complex circuitry and simplifies the RF path. A simplified RF path is vital to low noise, clear signals, and better weak signal reception.

Third Order Intercept Point (IP3) is greatly improved and allows the operator to more easily copy weak signals that is often covered up by a strong, adjacent signal. The use of an analog to digital converter (AD) reduces signal distortion and in some cases eliminate it. DX operators will appreciate the ability to copy weak signals others won't be able to hear.

9th Prize - FT-991A

The FT-991A is the next-generation of the widely popular FT-991. Like its predecessor, the FT-991A is creatively designed to fit into a very compact (W9.0” xH3.2” x D9.3”) rugged case and will deliver up to 100 Watts solid output power (50 Watts on 140/430 MHz) on SSB, CW, AM, FM, Packet and C4FM Digital on the popular HF/50/140/430 MHz bands.

In keeping with the spirit of the rich performance of the FT-991, The new FT-991A provides Two New Stimulating And Useful Advanced Features - A Real-time Spectrum Scope and a Multi-Color Waterfall Display!

The new dynamic real-time spectrum scope gives radio operators the ability to graphically view the location of signals on the band while they listen to the received audio allowing them to quickly move to the desired signal. The strength of signals on the band can readily be seen on the Multi-color waterfall display. Chronological order color differentiation allows operators to easily recognize weak signals at a glance; signals that might otherwise be missed on the spectrum scope.

These additional exciting functions enable more efficient and satisfying operating time while making important contacts on the crowded HF and 6 meter bands. We believe that the new FT-991A will be widely accepted as an ideal field gear rig by the majority of the ham radio operators who want to enjoy reliable and flawless communication on all the HF and V/UHF bands with just one radio.

FTM-300DR

 

We are pleased to introduce the new 50W C4FM/FM 144/430MHz Dual Band Digital Mobile Transceiver – FTM-300DR.
The new FTM-300DR provides stable and reliable 50W RF power output. As in recent YAESU mobile transceivers, the FTM-300DR is also equipped with a heavy-duty heat sink that includes our exclusive FACC (Funnel Air-Convection Conductor – Wind Tunnel).
Real Dual Band Operation (V+V, U+U, V+U, U+V) is available with two independent receivers, and the FTM-300DR supports simultaneous C4FM digital monitoring for both the A and B bands.
2-inch High-Resolution QVGA Full-Color TFT Display clearly highlights the frequency and operation bands.
With the Band Scope Function, users can monitor up to 63 channels centered around the current VFO frequency in real time. (21 channels in memory channel mode)
Memory Channel Band Auto Grouping (MBAG) is one of the advanced features of the FTM-300DR. Memory channels are automatically categorized in each band, and memory channels can be easily and quickly recalled by 4 Band Groups - Airband(M-AIR), VHF(M-VHF), UHF(M-UHF) and 174-400MHz/ 480-999.99MHz (M-GEN).
3W audio power speaker ensures a clear and crisp audio – that has been specifically tuned for quality audio. Two individual external speaker jacks are provided. Users can output the VFO A and B band Receiver to separate speakers or mix A and B signals when a single external speaker is used.
Built-in Bluetooth unit is installed in the FTM-300DR. This enables the hands-free operation with the YAESU SSMBT10 or a commercially available product. The SSM-BT10 is equipped with a PTT button and also supports VOX operation. Using the new USB charger cable – SCU-41 with the controller of the FTM-300DR, the SSM-BT10 can be easily charged. The SSM-BT10 works for approximately 20 hours on single charge.
The FTM-300DR supports both the WiRES-X Portable Digital Node function and Fixed Node function with the HRI-200. Since simultaneous C4FM monitoring on both VFO A and VFO B is possible, users can enjoy both WiRES-X communications on one channel while monitoring another local channel at the same time.
