FT-991 100W HF/50 MHz, 50W VHF/UHF Compact Base Station Transceiver.
This New Generation All-Mode Transceiver is capable of operating SSB, CW, AM, FM, Packet and System Fusion C4FM Digital. The FT-991 is designed for the most competitive operating situations, with a suite of new features to enhance the experience. Whether you primarily operate at home, mobile or in the field, the FT-991 will provide outstanding fundamental performance plus give you easy access to the full range of exciting modes available on the ham bands today.
The FT-991 provides solid transmitter performance with up to 100 Watts on HF/50MHz and 50 Watts on 144/430 MHz. Recognizing an all-important Amateur Radio Golden Rule - “You cannot work them if you cannot hear them”– the FT 991 features a rugged state-of-the-art highly balanced receiver circuit configuration. The highspeed floating point DSP chip TMS320C6746 (3000 MIPS / 2250 MFLOPS) from Texas Instruments used in the receiver design guarantees excellent interference rejection with actual signals under real-world conditions, not only on HF but also in the VHF and UHF bands.
The 1st IF frequency is protected by selectable robust 3 kHz and 15 kHz roofing filters that effectively attenuate interfering signals. The triple conversion circuit structure allows highly flexible gain distribution at each stage. This proven receive design architecture enables elimination of unwanted signals through filters at each stage as well as optimized gain distribution.
A built-in 3.5-in TFT full color touch screen high resolution display with loads of information provides stress-free operability and visibility for the FT-991 user. Advanced Spectrum Scope with ASC (Automatic Spectrum-Scope Control) located just below the LCD display gives the operator all the information for comfortable QSO on the DXing scene.
The new FT-991 also has Automatic Mode Select (AMS) function that instantly recognizes digital mode or FM analog mode and enables mutual communication.

This is a very solid radio for someone who wants everything in one radio.
ReplyDeleteImportant things this radio has
HF, 6m, 2m, 70cm all in one box
Antenna Tuner is very good
100 watts HF and 50 watts 2M and 70cm
USB connection for radio control and audio input and output of the rig
Spectrum analyzer
Very intuitive user interface
This radio has lots of options and lots of configurable settings. Yaesu does a very good job at making it intuitive to navigate them all. The "F" menu gets a bit busy, especially how often one uses it but its not a detractor from the product.
This is a very good radio for the first timer to the seasoned vet. It has all the subtle features that people want for CW and the features that are commonly used for SSB and FM communications are easy to use.
