We are pleased to announce that we will launch the new HF/50/144/430MHz All Mode Wide-Coverage SDR Transceiver

The FTX-1 provides continuous wide-range receiver coverage from 30kHz through 174MHz and from 400MHz through 470MHz including SWL, FM broadcast, and Air-band.
FTX-1 Field and FTX-1 optima shares the “Field Head” - a field compact transceiver (W8.4’’ H3.5’’ D2.2’’).
FTX-1 optima is supplied with a detachable 100W RF power amplifier

By attaching the SBR-52LI to the rear of the Field Head, the FTX-1 provides 6W (5W for QRP) stand-alone operation on HF through V/UHF bands in all modes – SSB, CW, AM, FM and C4FM digital. 9-hour stand-alone operating time with 6W on HF bands (SSB), and 8-hour operating time with 6W on V/UHF bands (FM) are available (6-6-48 duty cycle). The SBR-52LI is rechargeable separately with a third-party’s USB Type-C PD cable (45W or greater/ 15V 2A).

When using an external 13.8V DC power supply, up to 10W of power output is available, and the Field Head charges the SBR-52LI automatically.

Some fundamental and remarkable features are listed in the following page:

Useful Features for HF through UHF
- MAG (Memory Auto Grouping) for HF/VHF/UHF : Memory Channels are automatically grouped and can be recalled by Band groups. In M-GRP (My Group), any desirable memory channels can be set regardless of frequencies.
- QMB (Quick Memory Bank) for HF/VHF/UHF : QMB stores frequency, mode, transmit/ receive settings, filters and other parameters of the current receiving signal. Up to 10 channels can be recalled with one touch of the [QMB] key.
- PMG (Primary Memory Group) for VHF/UHF : Up to 5 PMG channels can be registered and then quickly monitored. In AUTO mode, all PMG channels are scanned and up to two PMG channels with signals are simultaneously received. In MANUAL mode, the PMG channel manually selected is always scanned and heard. The other PMG channels are also scanned and a channel with a signal can be received and heard at the same time. PMG function is useful for watching the channels Club members use to communicate.
- AMS (Automatic Mode Select) for VHF/UHF : AMS automatically determines whether the received signal is C4FM digital or FM and sets the receiver to the appropriate mode. No need for users to manually switch between modes.
- Memory Channel Scope for HF/VHF/UHF : The reception status of up to 43 Memory Channels can be displayed with bar graph. Transmit/ Receive channels are selectable by touching the bar graph. Basic but Superior Features
- Excellent proximity two-signal characteristics afforded by powerful RF Front-End design with 10-divided BPF (Band Pass Filter) in the amateur bands from HF through UHF and RF amplifier with a low NF (Noise Figure) which is excellent in intermodulation characteristics. In addition, a high-purity 110.592MHz oscillator circuit configuration supplies a high-quality sampling clock signal with excellent C/N characteristics to the A/D converter.
- SDR Circuit Configuration to ensure excellent fundamental Receiving Performance adopting the same high-resolution A/D converter and FPGA used in the FTDX10
- Effective QRM Rejection afforded by a 32-bit High-Speed DSP: SHIFT/ WIDTH/ NOTCH/ CONTOUR/ APF(audio peak filter)/ DNR (digital noise reduction) and NB (noise blanker)
- True Dual-Band Operation including C4FM/C4FM Simultaneous Receive (HF/V, HF/U, V/U, U/V, V/V, U/U)* *HF/HF is not available.
- 3DSS (3-Dimentional Spectrum Scope) with High-Resolution 4.3-inch TFT Color Touch Panel Display
- Front Panel Design for Intuitive Operation such as the Dual LED indicators above the MAIN VFO to show the current receiver status of MAIN/SUB bands, VMI LED (VFO mode indicator) to present the current operation mode (MAIN, SUB and clarifier/split operation), and FUNC (Function) dial allowing quick selection of a desired menu and change of the setting value
- Super-DX expands the Communication range* *Super-DX can be activated in all bands in all modes other than C4FM.
- “PRESET” mode suitable for FT8 Operation
- 2 Large Front Speakers ensures high-quality and powerful audio
- Aluminum die-cast chassis equipped with multiple slits for high heat dissipation ensures stable high-power output
