\"\"<\/a>I’ll admit it: I like what I see here.<\/p>\n

Yaesu has announced their latest compact 160-6 M transceiver: the FTDX10<\/strong>. Based on the specifications, it looks like it borrows heavily from the FTDX101 series, which is a very good thing.<\/p>\n

At 5″, the color TFT display is larger than that of the IC-7300 & IC-705. The specifications appear to be benchmark with excellent dynamic range (3rd IMDR quoted at “109 dB or more”).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ll post more details as updates become available. Wimo has listed a pre-order price of \u20ac1,550.00 w\/out shipping or VAT.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full press release via WIMO<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

We are pleased to introduce the FTDX10, a new long-waiting compact HF\/50MHz 100W SDR Transceiver!<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Hybrid SDR Configuration<\/strong>
\nLike the FTDX101 series, the new FTDX10 utilizes the Yaesu Hybrid SDR configuration – Narrow Band SDR and Direct Sampling SDR. The Narrow band SDR receiver emphasizes excellent receiver performance, while the Direct Sampling SDR provides a Digital Processing Real-Time Spectrum Scope.<\/p>\n

– Narrow Band SDR with 3 types of Roofing Filters and Phenomenal Multi-signal receiving Characteristics<\/strong>
\nLike the FTDX101 series, the Down Conversion type receiver configuration with the first IF at 9MHz has been adopted. It makes it possible to incorporate excellent narrow bandwidth crystal roofing filters that have the desired sharp \u201ccliff edge\u201d shape factor. Thanks to the Narrow Band SDR with the latest circuit configuration including 500Hz, 3kHz and 12kHz roofing filters and lownoise oscillator, the RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range) reaches 116dB or more, the close-in BDR (Blocking Dynamic Range) reaches 141dB or more, and 3rd IMDR (third-order Intermodulation Dynamic Range) reaches 109dB or more, in the
\n14MHz band at 2kHz separation.<\/p>\n

– 250MHz HRDDS (High Resolution Direct Digital Synthesizer) affords Quiet and Clear Reception<\/strong>
\nThe local circuit of the new FTDX10 uses 250MHz HRDDS method same as the FTDX101 series. Thanks to its characteristics that improve the C\/N (carrier to noise) ratio and the careful selection of components in the design, the phase noise characteristic of the local signal achieves an excellent value of -145dB or less in 14MHz at 2kHz separation.<\/p>\n

– 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) on the 5-inch Full-Color TFT Display with Touch-Panel Functionality<\/strong>
\nThe 5-inch Full-Color panel shows the 3DSS display. By touching the frequency display, the numeric keypad is displayed, and the active band and frequency adjustment can be set by direct input. Frequency setting and adjustment can also be performed by turning the MAIN dial or touching the scope display. Similar to the FTDX101 series, the MULTI display, RX operation status display, Center, FIX and Cursor modes are available at WiMo.<\/p>\n

– Front Panel Designed for Superior Operating Efficiency<\/strong>
\nMPVD (Multi-Purpose VFO Outer Dial), is a large multi-purpose ring around the outside of the VFO dial that enables control of
\nClarifier, C\/S (custom selection function) and recall of memory channels.<\/p>\n

– Remote Operation with optional LAN unit (SCU-LAN10, see WiMo Website)<\/strong>
\nRemote operation of the transceiver is possible with the optional SCU-LAN10 and SCU-LAN10 Network Remote Control Software. In addition to controlling the transceiver basic operations, the versatile scope displays enable sophisticated operation such as monitoring the band conditions on a large display at a location away from the ham shack by connection to a home LAN network.<\/p>\n

The features of the new FTDX10<\/strong> include:
\n– 15 separate band pass filters
\n– Effective QRM rejection with the IF DSP (IF SHIFT\/WIDTH, IF NOTCH DNF, DNR, COUNTOUR)
\n– High-quality and super stable final amplifier utilizing the new push-pull MOSFET RD70HUP2
\n– Aluminum Heat Sink with 80mm low-noise axial flow cooling fan
\n– High Speed Automatic Antenna Tuner with a large capacity 100-channel memory – RF & AF Transmit Monitor
\n– Microphone Amplifier with Three-stage parametric Equalizer (SSB\/ AM mode)
\n– QMB (Quick Memory Bank)
\n– Band Stack Function
\n– Optional speaker \u2013 SP-30 designed for the new FTDX10
\n– Optional roofing filter (300Hz) \u2013 XF-130CN available<\/p>\n

The new FTDX10 will be available in early December 2020 at WiMo.<\/p>\n
