Yaesu FTDX-5000 Limited Latest Edition

Yaesu FTDX-5000 Limited Latest Edition, The Yaesu FTdx5000 is an awesome rig to look at, but it is even more impressive "under the hood". Yaesu engineers have achieved 112 dB dynamic range and an IP3 [3rd Order Intercept Point] of +40 dBm (CW, 500 Hz BW). Newly designed, extra sharp roofing filters for VFOA/Main receiver are selectable between 300 Hz (optional on some versions), 600 Hz, 3kHz, 6kHz, and 15kHz. Yaesu incorporates two of their famous custom-designed 32-bit floating-point DSP chips based on the TI TMS320C6727B running at 300 MHz one for VFO A and one for VFO B. Enjoy state of art on the transmit side with a pair of reliable VRF 150 FETS in a push-pull configuration yielding 200 watts (75 watts class A operation). Three electro-luminescent sub displays indicate sub frequency, graphical wave, and menu functions. The rear panel features a 9 MHz IF out from VFO Main receiver. Other enhancements include: large multi-function meter and variable CW audio peak filter
