HF/50 MHz TRANSCEIVER
In the fifteen years since it was born, the FT-1000D has been recognized as the apex of performance among elite-class HF base stations. Now experience the rebirth of the renowned FT DX series, bearing the electronic DNA from the FT-1000D but advanced far more than just one generation. Or even two.
Over four years in development, the FT DX 9000 is the ultimate achievement in RF design in the Amateur Radio industry. Its identical Dual Receivers feature unmatched real-world dynamic range, selectable Roofing Filters, 32-bit IF DSP with Adjustable Filter Response Contours, and four antenna ports. The FT DX 9000 is available in 400-Watt or 200-Watt versions, and its leading-edge TFT display gives you unprecedented information and access to dozens of features and settings. And its Flash Memory and Keyboard Connector ensure that your station will evolve as the FT DX 9000 does! It's the FT DX 9000.the total YAESU radio experience.
Your elite-class transceiver isn't just about Dynamic Range, although it should be without peer. It isn't just about transmitter power, but you don't want to run short. It isn't just about filter selection, operating flexibility, and emission purity, but why settle for less than the very best? That's why we devoted the last four years to the development of the FT DX 9000. Its new technologies let you make contacts when other radios can't. Its receiver capability provides real-world signal-detection advantages over all other designs, and its powerful transmitter breaks new ground with up to 100 Watts of power output in Class A (FT DX 9000 400-W version)! Fifty years after SSB revolutionized the HF world, the YAESU FT DX 9000 breaks through technology barriers to provide a new generation of communications capability that history will recognize as a unique turning point in HF design. Be a part of the revolution!
