Both antennas are almost identical. Speaker on the FT-991 Transceiver is
the Yaesu MLS-200, the FTDX-5000MP is using its SM-5000 speakers. I
have tried to keep the width/DNR/IPO settings the same on both radios.
The
FT-991 is brand new in the shack and because of the mixed reviews, I
haven't even removed the plastic covers. So far, quite good. The lack of
buttons means adjustment to DSP settings is more involved on the FT-991
compared with the FTDX-5000 and believe it or not, the internal ATU
accepts a wider range of impedances on the '5000 too!

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.
