[SJDXA] Yaesu FT-991A

[KI4KWR - Steve Molo]

Yaesu announced the FT-991A which will be an HF, 6m, 2m, and 70cm
transceiver with C4FM capabilities and a real-time spectrum scope and
waterfall display. ETA is September. Here's the text from Yaesu's official
announcement:

 

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 140/430MHz) on SSB, CW, AM, FM, Packet and C4FM
Digital on the popular HF/50/140/430MHz 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.

 

The new FT-991A naturally contains all the features packed into the original
version of the FT-991 including a 3kHz roofing filter for the triple
conversion receiver that effectively attenuates interfering signals and
enables outstanding performance while still producing high quality audio.
The 32bit high speed floating point DSP provides effective cancellation and
reduction (DNR) of random noise, and the Auto Notch (DNF) automatically

eliminates QRM.
