FTX-1Field QRP HF/6M VHF/UHF Portable All mode Transceiver
The FTX-1Field is a QRP upto 6W (10W with 13.8V DX Ext supply) battery powered multi-mode Portable Transceiver covering the HF/6M/VHF and UHF Amateur Bands. Using Yaesu’s latest A/D FPGA and SDR receiver technology as used in our top line transceivers like the FTDX101 and FTDX10, the FTX-1F receiver provides excellent receiver performance in a small portable unit. A 4.3” TFT Colour Touch screen provides an easy to read radio status display with 3DSS band scope.

- Covers HF/6M/VHF and UHF in all modes including C4FM.
- QRP 6W when powered by SBR-52Li Battery and 10W when powered by 13.8V DC Supply
- Receiver RF-Front End with Superb Interference Rejection
