The Yaesu FT-991A / FT-991 is the result of a continous development of one of the most successful transceivers by Yaesu - the FT-897D. This up-to-date radio offers all features a passionate radio amateur is looking for: full 100 W transmit power on shortwave from 160 to 10m, 100 W on 6m, 50 W on VHF and UHF. Plus operation in all modes (SSB, CW, AM, FM, data modes) and including the latest digital 'System Fusion' C4FM technology.

Despite the compact size the FT-991 is easy to operate due to the easy to read 3.5" colour touch LC display. Most often needed controls are accessible through the touch panel or on the front of the transceiver, the necessity to access the menu is reduced to a minimum. And the relatively small case of the FT-991 can even accomodate an automatic antenna tuner, which tunes antennas from 16.5 to 150 Ω, sufficient for most not perfectly matched antennas.

Like all recent transceivers the FT-991 uses up-to-date DSP technology. This ensures a perfect receiver with freely adjustable filter widths, selectable notch filters and adjustable noise reduction. On the transmit side a parametric microphone equaliser can be used for outstanding modulation. A voice memory keyer is provided as well. The well known Yaesu features for comfortable telegraphy operation like zero beat tuning or a contest keyer are of course included as well.

Fans of digital modes will find an USB interface integrated into the FT-991. This interfaces provides an external sound card and a serial CAT interface to your computer. Just install the drivers and a software for digital modes and you are on the air with modes like PSK31, RTTY, Whisper, SSTV and much more.

Be prepared for the digital future! Yaesu includes the latest 'System Fusion' technology in the FT-991 transceiver (VHF/UHF only). This enables you to use the System Fusion DR-1XE repeaters with the digital C4FM modulation. This 'C4FM' modulation offers benefits like a good legibility, high compression rates and variable bandwith usage. This enables you to transmit serial data in parallel to the digital voice data (the full rate data mode is not suported by this radio).

Furthermore the FT-DX3000D benefited from the eperience with the top modell transceivers FT-DX5000 and FT-DX9000. This transceiver will not only with his look the center of your table.

For the first time in this class at the Yaesu now a TFT diplay is built in on which you have in addition to the band assignment, all the transceiver settings in mind. In addition of this, is beside the display a separate frequency display. The large TFT display has a very good readability from different angles. The high contrast makes viewing a pleasure.

Besides the visual changes, inside this transceiver, special emphasis was put on the best performance. Also new is the direct USB connection, so that external hardware can be quickly connected to the transceiver. Firmware updates can be played so directly with a USB cable without additional adapters into the transceiver.

You are a friend of digital modes?
With the FTDX-3000D you can start using the USB connection immediately! You do not need any sound card interface, this transceiver has all required already on board. In addition to the audio (in / out) on this port can also be keyed the PTT (PTT button and FSK). The already known serial port can also be found on this transceiver in the form of the known 9-pin RS-232 connector again. Thus, an operation of the FT-DX3000D on the computer is no limit.

The receiver:
You know the problem with strong stations close to the own frequency? Yaesu has in the FT-DX3000D installed as standard two roofing filters. In addition to the 3 kHz filter for SSB operation, was also intended for the ambitious CW fan and for that they integrate a narrow filter with 600Hz. Optionally, you can install a 300Hz filter (not included).
3 antenna inputs of which one can be configured for receive only (not in operation on that input possible), leave nothing to be desired.
The known 32-bit IF DSP was also included in this transceiver. By simply pressing a button the IF shift will set the passband to narrower settings. Of course, the very useful features such as IF filtering Notch and DNR have also been incorporated here.

The Transceiver:
The FT DX3000D offers full 100 W output power at a 13.8 V power supply with a power consumption of max. 23A. The built-in speech processor in combination with the built-in equalizer also provides in SSB mode for a clear and precise modulation, which is not so easily ignored. The use of stand microphones with optional equalizer is no longer necessary.
