Hi
It looks like Yaesus new FT5000 has copied the K3's architecture
The K3 will be getting a serious run for its money in the next few months.
Yaesu looks like it has done some serious competition analysis.
Features...
9 mhz IF
Not up conversion
Narrow roofing filters
99 db 3rd dynamic range +25dbm 3rd order intercept point @ 1khz
200 watts, 75 Class A
300 hz roofing filter.
MP and FT5KD version
Bandscope and many other features
It looks like Yaesu have taken the K3's performance ideals and put it
into a bigger box. The brochure is on the yahoo groups web page for those
interested.
This radio is going to be very popular because it seems that a lot of the
criticism of the K3's apparent failings seem to have been corrected in the
new Yaesu FT5K design
All very interesting
...
John
