🇩🇪 Funkamateure - mal angenommen ich hätte einen Yaesu FTX-1 auf dem Tisch und würde ein Video darüber drehen - welche Fragen hättet ihr?

🇬🇧 Radio amateurs - let's assume I have an Yaesu FTX-1 on my desk and want to record a video - what questions would you have?

#hamradio #amateurfunk #yaesu #FTX1

@bgarfoot if I can have only one, then it must do everything.

The IC-705 never appealed to me but the #ftx1 does.

If I can bring along an HT, then I would opt for the #lab599 #tx500 because of its ruggedness, and it being light weight and having a very low RX current draw.

If I want to go realy light weight, I grab the #qrplabs #qmx. Very high quality radio for small a price.

@qrper many thanks for your well reaoned explanation for canceling your #ftx1 preorder.

There is so much noise of "uh, it is expensive", "uh, it is heavy", "it can not do X", "that other radio can do this cheaper", all said from a very narrow perspective.

It is a joy to read such clarity with a well defined context.

The #Yaesu #FTX1 is looking better and better as a ship radio over my Icom 7100. The only big omission for my operating is the loss of a data port for external modems/TNC's. There might be a microphone port/speaker option, but RX out can easily do damage to things. I much prefer line level audio. I don't use TNC's at sea anymore, so the issue isn't a deal breaker.
Endlich gibt es Detail zum #Yaesu #FTX1 😀 soll ab Mitte Juni bei #Wimo verfügbar sein. Aber bitte was hat man sich in Japan bei der Preisfindung gedacht? Die 10W Version liegt mit 1850€ aktuell 400€ über dem IC705 und die 100W Version (10W Einheit plus angedockte 100W PA) liegt bei 2400€. Mal sehen ob wir hier nur eine Abschöpfungsstrategie sehen und es bald "Cash back" Aktionen gibt. Auch spannen was bei #ICOM passieren wird?

Endlich offiziell: Yaesu FTX-1 kommt! Verkaufsstart bekanntgegeben

Wow, looks like #yeasu will do a lot of things right with the coming #FTX1. There will be a fitting 100W HF / 50W VHF&UHF PA available. This could be the ideal flexible portable solution and could also replace my shack TRX in the future. So pls Yaesu release the radio, shut up and take my money 😂 wondering what #ICOM will do with the 705. Maybe we see something in #dayton ?
