DOWNLOAD HEREFT-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.

I have owned this radio for a few months now, bought from AES. I have had, great customer service, in the sales process.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, the radio has amazing audio, I have worked a great deal of DX with this radio, running only 100 watts, I have received great signal and audio reports. The filters in the radio are fantastic for dealing with QRM.
Digital C4FM is crystal clear.
The display is fantastic, adjustable in brightness, and color. There is also a keypad for direct entry of frequencies, which helps out in going to your favorite nets in a breeze. Connecting the rig up to the computer is a little tricky, even though it has a direct USB connection, with a little patience and help from the yahoo forums it really is a breeze.
The scope function, and built in waterfall display is great.
I have taken the radio over to a friend's house and compared the size and ears to his Yaesu ft-897d, It is just a little smaller in size, granted the tuner is built in to this radio, verses on the side of the 897. He too was amazed of the audio quality and features the radio has.
A word of caution, I have seen on the forums... Do not, Repeat, DO not drive a full 100 watts in the AM mode... It is a flaw that has not been dealt with in the firmware updates... I have ran full power on every other feature and mode of the radio with no issues at all.
I highly recommend this radio for a small full featured station. It is loaded with everything you can imagine in a small package.
