will dxlab support the new ftx-1?

+ I can't find any information about the FTX-1 on Yaesu's web site:



+ My understanding is that FTX-1 is a receiver that covers 30kHz through 174MHz and from 400MHz through 470MHz including SWL, FM
broadcast, and Air-band.

+ Since it has no ability to transmit, the answer to your question is "no", unless its CAT documentation - when available - shows
that it's CAT instruction set is a proper subset of that of a supported Yaesu transceiver.

Dave, AA6YQ


 

The referenced yaesu link shows:

"We are pleased to introduce the new FTX-1F and FTX-1Optima"

"FTX-1Field is a Portable 6W or 10W* HF/50MHz/VHF/UHF Multimode Transceiver.?(*10w with 13.8VDC supply.)"

"FTX-1Optima is the FTX-1Field with a 100W on HF/6m & 50W on VHF/UHF clip-on Linear Amplifier with built in ATU for HF/6M."

Grin, good power for a reciever!

+ Thanks, but I looked downloaded that manual from the Yaesu web page yesterday: it doesn't include documentation of the radio's CAT instruction set.

Might I suggest that one of you give Yaesu a call or send an email. The couple of times I've had issues with my FT-891 they've always been helpful on the phone?

+ Based on my experience with Yaesu over the past 24 years, I'll pass on that suggestion. When a CAT instruction set manual is publically available, I'll review it.
