Yaesu hf mobile radio

Yaesu FTD Amateur radio transceiver - HF, VHF, UHF All-Mode W remote head capability. Yaesu's FTD multi-band mobile transceivers offer base station performance from an ultra-compact enclosure that's ideal for mobile travel.

Extended frequency coverage, exceptional performance of this HF mobile radio receiver and the convenience of optional remote head operation make the FTD the expert choice for high performance mobile operation.

The Yaesu FTD is the world's smallest HF / VHF / UHF W multi-band amateur radio transceiver. Its rugged casing is an ergonomically designed masterpiece, with buttons and buttons often used for easy access.

FEATURES YAESU FTD

Ultra Compact Design Measuring just ” x 2” x ”, the FT is the world’s smallest HF/VHF/UHF up to W multimode transceiver! Its rugged case design is a masterpiece of ergonomic design, with often-used switches and knobs conveniently positioned for easy access.

High-Performance Receiver Design

Building on the acclaimed performance of the FTD, Mark-V FTMP, and FT, Yaesu’s engineers have crafted the FT’s front end for a very low noise floor, along with wide dynamic range. Utilizing an up-conversion architecture for HF with a first IF of MHz, the FT features a double-conversion superheterodyne system (triple conversion on FM), with the 2nd IF at MHz. Extensive bandpass filtering in the front end, along with careful device selection and gain distribution, yield a receiver system ready for the strong-signal challenges of today’s crowded bands!

Wide Frequency Coverage

Providing transmitter coverage of the HF, 50 MHz, MHz, and MHz Amateur bands, the FT also includes receive coverage on kHz to 56 MHz, 76 to MHz, MHz, and MHz. Enjoy the excitement of public safety monitoring, along with weather broadcasts, AM and FM broadcasts, aviation communications, as well as the action on the Ham bands!

Versatile Memory System

The FT provides up to “Main” memory channels, each of which may be named with an Alpha-Numeric label of up to eight characters. These Memories may be separated into as many as 10 Memory Groups of 20 Memories each. For added convenience, you also get a “Quick Memory” and a “Home Channel” on each band, plus ten pairs of band-limit memories, to let you restrict operation to a sub-band, if you like.

Digital Signal Processing (option)

For superior interference rejection and transmitter “talk power,” the FT’s optional DSP circuitry enhances both sides of the communications circuit. The FT’s DSP Unit features a bit high-tech D/A chip for signal processing. Included are Bandpass Filter, Auto-Notch, and Noise Reduction filters, along with a Microphone Equalizer.

Big Radio Tuning Dial and Outstanding Ergonomics

Ease of operation of the FT is enhanced by the large-diameter (”) Main Tuning Dial, similar in size to the tuning knob of many base station rigs. Selectable tuning steps of 2 kHz/4 kHz per revolution allow easy navigation around your favorite bands, while important keys and switches are strategically placed around the front panel for quick access.

UV-5R[edit]

The Baofeng UV-5R is a hand-held radio that has been marketed illegally in the United States^[7] and was produced since ^[8] It has been used in a number of projects involving radios.^[9][10] It is described as a popular inexpensive model. ^[7]

Features[edit]

It is designed to transmit on the 2 meter band between and MHz and on the 70cm band between and MHz. Features include CTCSS and duplex operation for use with local repeaters, dual watch and dual reception, an LED flashlight, voice prompts in either English or Chinese and programmable LED lighting for the LCD display.

Illegal marketing and distribution in the United States[edit]

The FCC cited the Houston, Texas based importer Amcrest Industries which owns and operates Baofengradio US for illegally marketing UV-5R, "capable of operating outside the scope of its equipment authorization,” the FCC Citation said, which is outside of its Part 90 authorization granted. The FCC asserts Amcrest marketed "UV-5R-series FM hand-held radios capable of transmitting on “restricted frequencies." "Marketing a device that is "capable of operating outside the scope of its equipment authorization,” is not allowed.^[7]

Other series include the , , and the series. Kenwood also offers a "B" model, which is a transceiver without display or controls and is completely controlled by a remote computer or a separate control unit.

• Radios with built-in digital data modes and modems (for APRS)

TS[edit]

Kenwood TS (powered off)

The Kenwood TS is an amateur radiotransceiver manufactured by the Kenwood Corporation.^[30][31][32] Introduced in the year , the radio was known for its "all-in-one" functionality. It can transmit on all amateur radio bands between meters and 70 centimeters, with the exception of the meters and 33 centimeters bands, and the "X" model also has built-in 23 centimeters band capability option. Kenwood discontinued production of the TS in September, ^[33]

Variations[edit]

• TS, the standard base station model, with the regional versions
  • K-Type for the Americas;
  • E-Type for Europe;
  • E2-Type for Spain;
• TSX, same as the above with the addition GHz (23 cm band) capability;
• TS-B, a sleek "black box" unit requiring a computer or an optional mobile control panel for control
• TSLE, limited production TS with a black finish to celebrate Kenwood's 60th Anniversary

Features[edit]

The TS was marketed as a feature-rich transceiver. As an "all-band" transceiver, the TS offers a maximum power output of watts on the HF, 6 meters, and 2 meters bands, 50 watts on 70 centimeters, and, with the TSX or the optional UT, 10 watts on the GHz or 23 centimeters band. The (American version) radio's main receiver covers 30 kHz through 60 MHz, MHz through MHz, and through MHz (plus through MHz with the "X" model). The sub-receiver tunes between and MHz, and from to MHz (VFO ranges).^[34]

The radio's main receiver uses DSP at the IF level, so a very flexible selection of bandwidths are available without the purchase of mechanical filters, as was necessary on past radios.

It features backlit keys, a built-in TNC for receiving DX Packet Cluster information, and the Sky Command II+ system (found on the K-Model), which allows for remote control of the transceiver using Kenwood's TH-D7A handheld or TM-DA mobile radio.

TSS[edit]

The Kenwood TSS is a model of amateur radiotransceiver produced primarily by the Kenwood Corporation from the late s into the s; some were produced by Trio Electronics before Kenwood's name change). The transceiver's predecessor was the TS, which began production a year earlier. The TSS was the second of three hybrid (including vacuum tubes and semiconductors) models produced by Kenwood during the s and s,^[38] and was noted for its quality. Its functionality and new hybrid technology made it one of the most popular transceivers marketed to amateurs in the late s and early s. The TSS has a built-in power supply, so it can be plugged directly into a &#;V wall outlet.

Variants[edit]

The TS did not have an LED frequency counter, but was otherwise identical to the S.^[39] The TSS was the most sophisticated (and common) variant.^[39] The TSX, unavailable in the United States, was primarily produced in Japan.

Functions[edit]

The transceiver can transmit and receive on the HF , , , , and meter bands,^[40] and can receive WWV and WWVH on 15 MHz. It can use SSB, FSK and CW on all bands.^[40] The TSS' power consumption is 57 watts (with heaters on) when receiving and watts when transmitting. The transceiver's peak envelope power output on SSB and CW is about watts, and about 60 watts on FSK. Its tubes are tuned manually, using the transceiver's drive, plate and load controls.
