Evolution and revolution in amateur radio equipment continued unabated in the early '80s.
After the transistors in the final stage, the new revolution in a transceiver:
The line continues!
Oh yes, an apparatus to receive (and transmit) over the whole spectrum of HF, it was not every day, and the Yaesu FT-ONE marked with this new twist
! E 'likely that the design of this system was driven by the idea of \u200b\u200btrying to "taste" new market segments, such as military and commercial, so going straight to clash with the newest member of the Collins home The KWM-380!
Sure, the Yaesu FT-ONE was used in many embassies around the world!
The Yaesu FT-ONE cost a real lot of money, but some denounced the sins of youth: the receiver 2 conversions and a continuous line, could not claim the selectivity of the equipment to separate bands OM, Yaesu FT-901 type, and its primary frequency synthesizer with 4-bit wide gave no guarantees of stability ...
.... also on the FT-ONE has been fitted with a filter that works in Nocht BF, or low frequency, the results are not exciting compared to this Nocth Reject the Yaesu FT-901, which worked hand in mid-frequency and still is, in my opinion One of the best notch filters never tested on a 'device for radio amateurs. Try it!
Obviously there are many positive aspects in the Yaesu FT-ONE, just to begin the presence of 2 VFO, allowing operations in Split and the Memories!
accessories that until recently had a dream ...
... and then just the fact that the line had more ... did you forget everything else!
Listening in BF was powerful, as well as its modulation in transmission (I have had excellent relations radio) and it looks really beautiful and impressive with its dual analog instruments, gave the impression of truly professional handling apparatus .
Even more so this gave the impression of giving us a look inside, manufactured according to Plug In a vertical card.
The lack of accessories to make a real line, in my opinion, confirms the hypothesis of an apparatus out of the ordinary in the philosophy of Yaesu amateur radio.
... The Yaesu FT-ONE was a dream machine that made those who, like me, leafing through the catalogs of Marcucci, when returning from the Fair Amateur, back when you could legitimately call it that!
hard to find around today, its evaluation for a sample order is over 500.00 in Euros, but now that they are not, the seller may also require a lot more, provided that it was always tagliandato!
