List of amateur radios

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Various commercially manufactured amateur radio devices in the shack of a radio amateur

The list of amateur radio equipment includes commercially manufactured radio equipment (including commercially sold kit devices) that are used in the amateur radio service and whose construction has been specially adapted to its requirements. The list does not claim to be exhaustive.

Note: After receiving the amateur radio certificate , a person is de jure a radio amateur . However, there is not yet permission to participate in the amateur radio service. For this, it is mandatory to apply for admission to participate in the amateur radio service. Together with the granting of the license, the radio amateur is assigned a personal amateur radio call sign. Only then is broadcasting on the amateur radio bands permitted. Now commercially available or self-made amateur radio devices may be operated in the amateur radio station and also technically modified or converted.

Alinco

DX-SR8E

This device is a relatively simple, pure shortwave transceiver (bands 160 m to 10 m) with a maximum output power of 100 watts. The control unit with integrated loudspeaker can be operated remotely.

Alinco DX-77E

DX-77E

DJ-S41

Alinco DJ-S11 (2 m), housing identical to the DJ-S41 described here (70 cm)

This is the 70 cm amateur radio variant of an LPD radio device. CTCSS transmitter and receiver are standard, a 1750 Hz ringing tone is missing. The antenna is foldable and - since the device is also produced as an LPD device - it is also inseparably connected to the device. By re-soldering SMD resistors, the LPD version could be converted into an amateur radio version. Power was supplied by three mignon batteries (4.5 V) or rechargeable batteries (3.6 V), with external power supply 5.5 V must not be exceeded. The output power was in the range of 350 mW.

DJ-C1, DJ-C4 and DJ-C5

This series of devices was about the size of a credit card and only 11 mm thick. The weight was less than 90 g in each case. The power supply was provided by built-in lithium-ion batteries , which allowed a transmission power of around 300 mW. The DJ-C1 worked in the 2 m amateur radio band, the DJ-C4 in the 70 cm amateur radio band. These two devices did not have a built-in speaker, so the sound had to be played through an earphone. The antenna was permanently installed. The DJ-C5 worked at 2 m and 70 cm and, in contrast to the mono-tape devices, had a built-in loudspeaker and an antenna socket.

DJ-G5

DJ-G190E / DJ-G191E

The housing and batteries of these two devices correspond to those of the DJ-G5, but the devices only work on the 2 m band. Both devices are equipped with a CTCSS transmitter and receiver as standard, the DJ-G191E also has a DTMF keyboard. The transfer of settings ("cloning") only works between devices of the same type, but not via a radio interface, but via a cable that connects the two 3.5 mm loudspeaker sockets. The transmitter output powers are comparable to the DJ-G5. These devices also charge a connected battery when connected to an external voltage source.

DJ-G7

In terms of broadcasting, this device is suitable for the 2 m, 70 cm and 23 cm amateur radio bands. In the 23 cm band, the transmission power is 1 W, on the other two bands 5 W. Reception is also possible in the MW and VHF radio range as well as some television ranges.

Hytera

Hytera DMR handset PD785

Hytera manufactures DMR radios which, if programmed appropriately, can also be used for amateur radio.

PD505

The VHF version of this handheld radio without display can operate in the frequency range 136… 174 MHz (thus also the 2 m amateur radio band) and in the UHF version the range 400… 470 MHz (thus also the 70 cm amateur radio band) with a Output power of 5 W (VHF version) or 4 W (UHF version).

PD785

This handheld radio with display and numeric keypad can use the frequency range 136 ... 174 MHz (thus also the 2 m amateur radio band) in the VHF version and the range 400 ... 470 MHz in one of the three available UHF versions (thus also the 70 m Amateur radio band) with an output power of 5 W (VHF version) or 4 W (UHF version). Analog radio communication (FM) - including the possibility of sending a 1750 Hz ring tone to key relay radio stations - is also possible.

Icom

Icom IC-2E

IC-2E

A handheld radio from the 1980s , in which the frequency is set via three coding wheels (one each for the 1 MHz, 100 kHz and 10 kHz digits) and a slide switch (+0 or +5 kHz) on the top was discontinued. Thus, a range from 140,000 to 149.995 MHz could be set in a grid of 5 kHz, whereby the data was only guaranteed for the amateur radio range. The transmission power was in the range from 1.5 to 3 watts (depending on the power supply). The battery or battery compartment was attached to the bottom of the device. Batteries were available in different voltages and with different capacities. The batteries had a hollow plug socket on the rear for connection to the charger. The belt clip was provided with holes for the charging plug or for a view of the charge control light, so that the batteries could also be charged on the device.

Largely structurally identical devices were also manufactured by other manufacturers (e.g. Albrecht AE-144N, Alan CT1600 and CTE CT-1800).

IC-4E

The 70 cm version of the IC-2E covered the range from 430 to 439.995 MHz in the European version. The operation essentially corresponded to the IC-2E, but instead of the switch for switching between plus and minus frequency storage (which was not necessary in the 70 cm range) there was either a switch to switch between two different storage locations or to switch the Receiver on the relay input frequency available.

IC-Z1E

A handheld radio for the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio band with an output power of 5 watts. With this device, the "upper" half of the control unit (including PTT button, display, microphone and loudspeaker) can be removed from the basic device and used like an external loudspeaker microphone via a separation cable. Volume and squelch controls (separate for both bands) and the 16-key keyboard remain on the basic unit.

IC-T81E

A handheld radio for the 6 m, 2 m, 70 cm and 23 cm amateur radio bands with a maximum output power of 5 watts or 1 watt over 23 cm. The market launch took place in 1999. Icom used a “multifunction key” (4-way key, central pressure as input key) for the first time on this device. CTCSS and DTMF encoders and decoders were standard.

IC-E91AD

IC-E91D

The IC-E91D was the first dual-band handheld radio available on the German market, in which the D-Star modulation type was also available by installing an optional circuit board. In contrast to its successor, the IC-E92D, no special, but standard plugs were used for the microphone, loudspeaker and GPS connection. So you can use a simple serial cable with a 3.5 mm jack plug without problems also GPS devices from other manufacturers. The transmission power with the standard battery is 5 watts, but when using an external power supply the device heats up very strongly. The device itself is waterproof.

IC-E92D

This is a robust and waterproof (protection class IP X7) dual-band handheld radio with an output power of 5 W. A proprietary 12-pin socket is used to connect the microphone or programming adapter. This device also has a D-STAR unit. For this device there is also a waterproof hand microphone with an integrated GPS receiver available so that location reports can be sent out via D-STAR. However, it is not possible to send out position data from the device's internal GPS memory or to save the current position in the GPS memory, i. H. Positions must be entered into the memory manually. If the handheld radio has carried out a valid position determination using the GPS microphone, it can also calculate the distance and direction to stored or received positions. Here, however, obvious errors often occur (distance> 8000 km for positions in the same large Locator field).

ID-31E

The most striking features of this 230 gram, 70 cm handheld radio mono-tape device for the FM and D-STAR modulation types with an output power of 5 watts are the GPS receiver, which is fully integrated into a D-STAR device for the first time, and the installation of a micro SD Card reader. The device itself does not have a DTMF or direct frequency input keyboard.

The position data can not only be sent out via DPRS and saved as a track on the memory card, but they are also used to display repeater lists sorted by location according to distance. The repeater data is saved on a micro SD card.

An interface cable can be used to program the device and a configuration can be written and read in on a micro SD card. It is also possible to save voice recordings on the memory card.

The device itself is waterproof according to IP-X7; the membrane in front of the microphone results in a modulation which many users perceive as too muffled, which attempts are made to remedy this in some cases by piercing the protective membrane in front of the microphone while losing water tightness.

A standard 2.5 or 3.5 mm jack socket combination is used to connect a loudspeaker microphone, the antenna is connected via an SMA socket.

ID-51E

As with the ID-31E, this dual-band handheld radio is also available for the amateur radio bands 2 m and 70 cm for the modulation types FM (also with a reduced frequency deviation for the 12.5 kHz grid) and D-STAR with an output power of 5 watts Fully integrated GPS receiver and a micro SD card reader as standard. Simultaneous reception on any two frequencies is possible, a separate receiver allows radio reception in both FM and AM. This device also does not have a DTMF or direct frequency input keyboard.

An interface cable can be used to program the device and a configuration can be written and read in on a micro SD card. It is also possible to save voice recordings on the memory card.

The device itself is waterproof according to IP-X7. A standard 2.5 or 3.5 mm jack socket combination is used to connect a loudspeaker microphone, the antenna is connected via an SMA socket.

With the appearance of the ID-51E PLUS version, the option of coupling an Android device (e.g. for a map app with repeater locations or image transmission) as well as faster DV data operation with 3480 bps is advertised, which is, however, possible with the DV Language mode is incompatible.

Station radio IC-746

IC-746

It is an all-mode HF tranceiver with an additional 6 m and 2 m band . The output power is 100 watts throughout. An antenna tuning device for shortwave with a tuning range up to a standing wave ratio of 1: 3 is installed. The same applies to the speech compressor. A VOX circuit is available for phoning . CTCSS is standard on the sending and receiving side, in the European version it has a 1750 Hz ring tone for pushing relay radio stations .

IC-756 Pro

Extended version of the IC-746 with color display and spectrum display.

IC-910

VHF station radio with a transmission power of 100 watts in the 2 m band and 75 watts in the 70 cm band. A 23 cm extension with a transmission power of 10 watts can optionally be installed. The radio is prepared for radio operation with amateur radio satellites , but requires the correct antenna system.

IC-7300

Compact shortwave - station radio with a maximum transmission power of 100 watts. Works on the principle of Software Defined Radio (SDR) with direct digital conversion of the RF signal . Due to the integrated sound card, it is well suited for digital modes such as FT8 .

Kachina

In the amateur radio sector, Kachina was only known through one device, the Kachina 505 DSP, an exotic product that came onto the market with an unusual concept for the time. This shortwave transceiver from 1998 has no operating elements and is completely controlled by any (at that time) commercially available computer on which special software and an operating and control module were installed in a 5¼ inch module. A short time after the presentation, the manufacturer also offered an additional manual tuning button especially for radio amateurs in order to enable them to use the usual operating technology of searching and manual tuning. In the delivery state, the device or the software can handle the SSB, CW and AM operating modes. The software also offers a logbook function.

The actual transceiver only has a Sub-D connection for connection to the computer, a power connection as well as two antenna sockets and another Sub-D socket for controlling downstream devices such as a power amplifier. The maximum length for the control cable is specified as 23 m, so that remote operation of the device is also possible.

Signal processing on the sending and receiving side is carried out using DSP technology. In this respect, he can be seen as a pioneer of the concept of software defined radio in amateur radio. The transmission power can be set in 1-watt steps up to 100 watts, an integrated antenna tuner is available.

Kenwood

The intended main area of ​​application can be deduced from the type designations: The TH-… device series are handheld radios (transceiver handheld); TM-… are mobile devices (transceiver-mobile); TS-… are station devices (transceiver stationary).

TS-2000

TS-2000

The Kenwood TS-2000 is an all-mode home station which as standard covers the amateur radio bands from 160 m to 70 cm and optionally also 23 cm with a maximum transmission power of 100 W (50 W on 70 cm, 10 W on 23 cm). It was also available as the TS-B2000 in a "black box" version without control elements for remote control using a computer or for mobile operation using an external control unit (RC-2000). A TNC was also integrated, which could be used, for example, to receive the Packet Radio DX cluster, whereby the data could not only be shown on the display, but also used to automatically tune the transceiver to the reported frequency. The transceiver also had the necessary functions for operation via amateur radio satellites, such as a coupled Doppler shift compensation. An antenna tuner for short wave and 6 m is standard.

TS-520

Kenwood TS-520 amateur shortwave - transceiver

The TS-520 is a three radio tubes tipped transceiver for shortwave - radio amateurs and was designed by Kenwood built in the later 1970s.

TS-480

This all-mode transceiver covers the bands 160 m to 6 m (in the current firmware version for Europe 40 m for transmission up to 7.2 MHz) and is available in two different versions: The TS-480HX version with its two power amplifier modules achieves a maximum output power 200 W, the TS-480SAT version has a built-in antenna tuner instead of an output stage module and achieves an output power of 100 W. With two separately programmable menu setting sets, the device can be easily adapted to two different operating environments.

In contrast to the abbreviation, the device was designed with a strong focus on mobile operation, so the control unit can only be operated remotely; it is not intended to be attached directly to the device. The connection between the display unit and the basic device is made using a supplied cable with 6-pin Western plugs. Folding ferrites for these cables and the power supply cable are included in the scope of delivery.

All control elements as well as the display, headphone connection and loudspeaker are located on the control unit, while the microphone connection (Western socket) is on the basic unit. Thus, the mechanical forces generated by the microphone spiral cable are not applied to the display unit (which cannot always be mounted with sufficient stability for this load when installed in a vehicle), but rather to the basic device (which is easier to secure in a stable manner in the vehicle). If the distance between the two parts of the device is greater, an additional extension cable and several folding ferrites are required. Since vibrations are to be expected in mobile operation, a switchable mechanical braking device is available for the main tuning button.

On the back of the device there are two antenna connections (led out as sockets on short coaxial lines), the (TS-480SAT) or the two (TS-480HX) connections for the power supply, a socket for controlling an external antenna tuner and the On the front one jack socket each for Morse code and keyer, a serial connection for transceiver control and a jack socket for external loudspeakers, a 6-pin mini-DIN socket for digital operating modes and an 8-pin DIN socket for controlling other devices (such as external power amplifiers).

In the European version, a "carrying frame" with a short connection cable is also supplied, on which the device and the control unit can be mounted so that it can be easily carried using a handle on the side, but also set up and operated like a conventional stationary device , the angle of the control panel is adjustable. ( Pivoting range restricted by plug-in connectors for digital operating modes that are plugged into the base unit behind the display unit.) In addition, a second control panel holder is included in the scope of delivery, so that the display unit can also be used separately in a second position.

Using free software, the transceiver can be programmed and controlled remotely via the serial interface - only using a modem cable without proprietary hardware or level converters. The device can be connected to a compatible VHF / UHF transceiver via a null modem cable and thus also controlled remotely. Free software is also available for controlling the device via the Internet.

TH-79 with external microphone

TH-79

Walkie-talkie from Kenwood m-2 for the 70-cm amateur radio band. With 5 watts of output power each, you can listen to one tape while the other is broadcasting (duplex traffic) at the same time. The individual volume levels and the use of the separately acting squelch thresholds can be set separately for each band.

TH-25, TH-45 and TH-55

These were mechanically identical monoband FM handheld radios. The 2-meter-band version TH-25E and the 70-cm-version TH-45E each had an output power of about 5 W, the 23-cm-band version of about 1 W. In the United States there was also one of each Version with DTMF keyboard available.

Kenwood TH-D72

TH-D72E

This is a dual-band handheld radio for the amateur radio bands 2 m and 70 cm with integrated TNC for 1k2 and 9k6 packet radio as well as sophisticated APRS functionality. With the standard lithium-ion battery , a transmission power of 5 W is achieved on both bands. A battery compartment for 6 micro cells can also be used in place of the battery pack.

A SiRF star III GPS receiver for determining position is already built into the device as standard. DTMF , CTCSS and DCS as well as VOX are also standard. In addition to the APRS transmission (also with Smart Beaconing and Voice Alert support as well as MicE mode), the distance covered can also be recorded internally and transferred to a computer via USB, so the device can also be used as a GPS logger . The transceiver functions can be switched off in order to extend the operating time as a "pure" GPS device.

A weather station (PeetBros or Davis) can be connected so that current weather data can be sent out via APRS. The device can also be used as an APRS digipeater without additional hardware .

The device can be protected against unauthorized use by means of a password. Kenwood's SkyComand II system can also be used to control a KW transceiver remotely.

In addition to connections for microphone and loudspeaker, there is also a serial interface on the right side of the device, to which external GPS receivers, for example, can be connected, as well as a USB connection via which the device can be programmed using free software. The internal TNC can also be used in KISS mode via this USB port.

TH-D74

The TH-D74, presented in mid-2016, is the first handheld radio from Kenwood to support the D-STAR digital operating mode . In addition, it has an APRS functionality comparable to the TH-D72. The output power in the 2 m band is a maximum of 5 watts, in the 70 cm band 4 watts. It has a color display and a Bluetooth unit for audio transmission. The reception range extends from 0.1… 540 MHz, with the operating modes FM, SSB and AM (76… 108 MHz only WFM). An SMA socket is used to connect the antenna, a ferrite antenna for the lower bands is integrated. Data can be exchanged using a micro SD card and USB interface.

TH-K2E and TH-K4E

These are mono-band devices for the 2 m (TH-K2E) or 70 cm band (TH-K4E) with an output power of 5 watts each. As a special feature, they each have a VOX circuit. Antennas are connected via SMA sockets. A DTMF keyboard is not available in the standard version.

TH-F7E

A very compact dual band handheld radio with 5 watt output power. The antenna is connected via an SMA socket. Power is supplied by a lithium-ion battery. As a special feature, packet radio with a data rate of 9k6 is also possible via the normal loudspeaker and microphone jacks. Due to the internal switchover to 9k6, in which, among other things, the demodulator signal is switched directly to the loudspeaker connection and the squelch is deactivated, phoning is not possible while 9k6 packet radio is set. The device can be programmed via the microphone and loudspeaker socket using a data cable. It also has an all-mode secondary receiver (FM / FM-W / FM-N / AM and SSB / CW modes) from 100 kHz to 1300 MHz (SSB / CW only up to 470 MHz) and an integrated ferrite antenna for receiving frequencies below 10 MHz . This device is also equipped with a VOX. The DTMF keyboard, like CTCSS standard.

TH-D7E

In this handheld radio, a TNC for packet radio is already integrated, so that this device can be used for B. DX cluster messages can be read or APRS (with connected GPS device also on the transmitter side) is possible. SSTV operation was also possible with an external camera .

TM-V7

This mobile radio from Kenwood for the 2 m and 70 cm band is often colloquially referred to as "the blue miracle" due to the blue backlight, which was a unique selling point when it was first introduced . There is an output power of 50 watts on 2 m and 35 watts on 70 cm available.

TM-D710E or TM-D710GE

As can be seen from the name, these are cellular devices. You achieve an output power of 50 W on the 2 m as well as on the 70 m amateur radio band.

The E in the type designation identifies the European variant (with adapted band limits), while the suffix G refers to the GPS receiver integrated in the control unit in the case of the TM-D710GE. With the TM-D710E this is missing and therefore an external GPS receiver must be used to determine the position, which is connected to the control unit. As the D in the name already shows, a TNC for packet radio - here for 1k2 and 9k6 - and APRS is built in as standard. This can be addressed via a connection on the control unit.

The receivers each cover the range from 118 MHz to 524 MHz and 800 MHz to 1300 MHz.

The color of the background lighting can be switched between green and amber, the brightness can be switched in several stages or automatically adjusted. The control units are separate from the basic device; it is not intended to operate them directly on the device. On the back of the device there are two loudspeaker connections, a 6-pin mini-DIN socket for an external TNC or LF signals when operating as an Echolink gateway, an 8-pin mini-DIN socket for connection to the serial interface of a PC and a N antenna socket. The microphone with a 16-key keyboard is connected to the side of the basic device.

This transmitter masters different operating modes for studying the propagation conditions such as QRSS, Opera or WSPR with an output power of around 250 mW. The device is controlled by an ATmega 328 microcontroller . The frequency is processed by means of a DDS module. A pluggable, seventh-order LC low-pass filter is used for spectral purity . Optionally, a relay switch-over board for five additional filters can be installed so that multi-band operation is possible. Position determination, time synchronization and frequency calibration are possible using a serial GPS receiver.

Ultimate 3S QRSS / WSPR

A programmable clock generator module is used here instead of a DDS.

Retevis

Although not a manufacturer of original amateur radio devices, the Chinese manufacturer's radio devices - especially for DMR - are used by radio amateurs after appropriate programming.

RT3

The working range of this handheld radio extends to the range 400 - 480 MHz, so it can be used with the appropriate code plug in the 70 cm amateur radio band.

In some cases, firmware modified for amateur radio is also used, with which, for example, all calls in a time slot can be heard or settings that can otherwise only be made using the programming software can also be made on the device itself.

1000 channels can be programmed, up to 16 channels can be grouped within a zone, which can be selected using the 16-step rotary switch on the top. The output power is 5 watts (can be reduced to 1 watt), an SMA socket serves as the antenna connection.

Standard Radio Corporation

Standard-C156

C156

This is a 2 m mono tape recorder from the 1990s. The maximum output power was 5 watts. DTMF and CTCSS were standard. A BNC socket serves as the antenna connection.

The C401 is a very small handheld radio for the 70 cm band with an output power of 230 mW. Power was supplied by two Mignon batteries.

C500

The standard C500 was an FM dual band handheld radio for the amateur radio bands 2 m and 70 cm with an output power of about 5 watts. The frequency could be entered using a numeric keypad. The memory consisted of 20 places. Full duplex operation was possible in crossband mode and restricted (risk of feedback, attention to harmonics, high power consumption). The microphone and loudspeaker could be connected via 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm jack sockets.

C510

This approximately 60 mm × 100 mm × 30 mm device with a complete DTMF keyboard was launched in 1997. When equipped with alkaline-manganese batteries , it achieves an output power of one on the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands Watts and an operating time of around 20 hours in normal operation. The antenna is connected via an SMA socket. This handheld radio could be connected to a special “booster” via a plug connection on the floor and an interface cable, which enabled a transmission power of 50 W at 2 m and 35 W at 70 cm to be achieved on an external antenna. The booster then also took over the power supply of the device, the internal antenna connection was automatically deactivated.

C710

This device with a complete DTMF keyboard was launched at the end of 1997. The housing corresponds to that of the C510. The antenna is also connected to this device using an SMA socket. It enables FM radio operation on the amateur radio bands 2 m and 70 cm with a transmission power of around 3 W and on 23 cm with around 0.5 W. As with the C510, there is a special connection socket on the stand.

C528

Handheld radio for the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio band. The successor to the successful C 500 was for many radio amateurs after the opening of the border to the GDR, the first western handheld radio. The frequency range, which is limited to the amateur radio bands by default, could be expanded upon request. With an output power of 5 watts, you can listen to one tape while the other is broadcasting. Volume and squelch can be set separately for each band. The crossband function makes it possible to operate the device as a mini converter.

C628

Identical to the C528, but for the 70 cm and 23 cm tape. In 1991 this device was the world's first duo-band device for 70 cm and 23 cm. The C628 still delivers 2.5 W at 23 cm and has an excellent receiver.

Teltow

Radio amateur in 1978 on a Teltow 215B

The Teltow is an amateur radio transceiver, which was developed and manufactured in four different versions from 1970 to 1989 in Teltow , Brandenburg .

Originally designed and manufactured in-house by local radio amateurs for the Teltower Klubstation in 1970 and 1971, the VEB Kombinat Electronic Components (KEBT) began series production of the transceiver in 1974 and it was distributed to the various club stations in the country. For almost two decades, the Teltow became the defining shortwave radio in amateur radio in the GDR. Questions about the operation, handling and technology of the transceiver, especially the Teltow 215, found their way into the amateur radio examination and became an integral part of it.

The Teltow 200 and the Teltow 205 were manufactured individually . The Teltow 210 and the Teltow 215 were mass-produced .

Wouxun

Devices from the Chinese manufacturer Quanzhou Wouxun Electronics Co., Ltd. are marketed under the brand name Wouxun.

KG-UVD1P

The Wouxun KG-UVD1P is a 2 m / 70 cm dual band amateur handheld radio that was brought onto the market by a Chinese manufacturer. For international use, the frequency range from 144 - 146 and 430 - 440 MHz (transmitting and receiving side) can be extended to a larger frequency range. In countries where this is permitted, the KG-UVD1P can also work in various other combinations. The ranges 136 - 174 and 400 - 470 MHz are preset at the factory. Dual-band or double-mono-band operation with 5 watts transmission power and 128 memory channels, CTCSS / DCS and 6.25 kHz frequency grid correspond to the current standard; the KG-UVD1P can also carry out cross-band half-duplex operation and receive VHF radio. However, AM or SSB is not possible. The microphone wiring corresponds to the Kenwood standard (K standard), i.e. a three-pin 3.5 mm jack plug for the microphone and a three-pin 2.5 mm jack plug for the audio output. The unused pin contacts on the 2.5 mm plug (center) are used for data transmission I / O for interfaces or directly as a data port between two devices. The device is sold with a 1300 mAh Li-Ion battery as standard.

KG-UV6D

KG-UV6D

The KG-UV6D offers a broad frequency band (e.g. 400 - 520 MHz on the 70 cm band) and also functions such as voice output for the display and DTMF, SOS function and two separate receivers and an LED Flashlight function. The “UV” in the model number stands for UHF / VHF and the “D” for dual band receivers. There are two versions of the KG-UV6D: ​​the conventional 2 m / 70 cm version (depending on the model 400 - 480, 430 - 440, 350 - 470, 420 - 520 MHz or in the 1.25 meter band 222–225 MHz instead of 70 cm band) and the special 4 m / 2 m version with 66 - 88 MHz. There is also a 4 m / 70 cm version with 66 - 88 and 400 - 480 MHz. The frequencies can only be determined at the factory. The KG-UV6D is equipped with 199 alphanumeric memory channels (A – Z, 0–9), a microphone connection in Kenwood standard like the KG-UVD1P and a 1700 mAh Li-Ion battery as standard.

Wouxun KG-UV8D

KG-UV8D

The successor version of the KG-UV6D is the KG-UV8D with 999 alphanumeric memory channels and a software-expandable frequency range from a total of 134 - 174 MHz and 400 - 519 MHz. In contrast to the UV6D, this model is only available in a 2 m / 70 cm dual band version. The output power is 5 watts in the 2 m band and 4 watts in the 70 cm band as standard, it is delivered with a 1700 mAh Li-Ion battery. The microphone connection is designed in accordance with the Kenwood standard as with the KG-UVD1P.

Yaesu

FT-290 / FT-690 / FT-790 R or R II

These were all-fashion portable monoband devices. The FT-290 was a 2-meter device, the FT-690 was a 6-meter device, and the FT-790 was a 70-cm device. These devices existed in several generations, whereby the first generation was identified by the R after the type number, the second generation by the appendix R II (R2).

The maximum output power for the FT-790R was 1 watt, for all other devices of this series 2.5 watts. The devices each had ten memory channels. In the case of the devices of the second generation, the battery housing could be removed and an output stage with 25 watt output power could be installed in its place. For devices of the second generation, the minimum tuning step size in SSB or CW was 25 Hz, in FM, depending on the country version, 5 kHz or 12.5 kHz, whereby the frequency was not rounded to the FM grid if the FM operating mode was used in memory mode has been switched. (By saving again you could use the 25 Hz frequency resolution in the memories.)

In the devices of the first generation, the operating mode (LSB / USB / CW / FM positive relay storage / FM simplex / FM negative relay storage) and the selection of the memory channel were carried out using separate latching rotary selectors, while in the second generation push buttons were provided for this. The devices each had an analog S-meter next to the LC display.

The microphone was each connected via an 8-pin round plug, volume and squelch controlled via coaxial rotary controls. For the frequency setting, a rotary encoder was arranged on the front, devices of the second generation also had a clarifier rotary control with a locking center position. The loudspeaker was located on the top of each device. Due to the aging of components, frequency shifts can occur in the processing of the SSB transmission signal. This often shows up in modulation problems on a sideband.

Yaesu FT-817

FT-817 / FT-817ND

It is not a typical mobile device, but a portable device (similar to the aforementioned FT290 / 690/790).

It works on the bands from 160 m to 70 cm in all operating modes with a rather low output power of 5 watts. The assignment of the two antenna sockets (front BNC, rear PL) can be set separately for shortwave, 6 m, 2 m and 70 cm via the menu. An antenna tuner is not installed. The receiver is very sensitive, but tends to overdrive with strong signals.

The power can be supplied externally via a barrel connector or via a rechargeable battery pack or battery pack inserted in the device.

The microphone is connected via an 8-pin Western plug. Morse code keys can be connected via a jack socket on the back. Due to the keyer electronics integrated in the device, squeeze buttons can also be used. Packet radio is possible with symbol rates of 1200 and 9600 baud with an external TNC, which is connected via a 6-pin mini-DIN socket on the rear. This connection also enables other digital operating modes such as PSK31 . Another socket enables other devices to be controlled via CAT, such as power amplifiers or external antenna tuners, as well as programming and control of the device via a computer.

Due to the lack of an e-mark ( ECE test mark ), installation in vehicles is sometimes viewed critically, as e-approval for radio devices is currently no longer required by law, but is still required in the installation instructions of many vehicle manufacturers.

FT-818ND

The externally unchanged successor model of the FT-817 also covers the 60 m band and has an output power increased to 6 W.

FT-857

FT-857

It is also not a typical mobile device, but an all-mode device suitable for mobile use for belts from 160 m to 70 cm. In the short-wave range, the output power is 100 watts, in the 2 m band 50 watts and in the 70 cm band 20 watts. The front panel is removable.

FT-897

Technically, this device largely corresponds to the aforementioned FT-857, but the device is designed more for stationary use, i.e. the housing is larger and offers more space for more ergonomic operating elements. It is possible to mount either batteries for portable operation or a special switched-mode power supply in the device; an automatic antenna tuner can be screwed onto the left side of the device.

Yaesu FT-2800

FT-2800

The output of this purely passively cooled (fanless) 1.8 kg FM amateur radio device for the 2 m band can be set in four stages up to a maximum of 65 watts. When storing a channel, not only the frequency with relay storage and the CTCSS or DCS setting, but - as with the other current Yaesu devices - also the respective set transmission power are stored in the memory. There are 200 memory locations available. It is supplied as standard with a DTMF handheld microphone of the type MH-48, the WIRES relay coupling technology is supported. The control unit cannot be detached from the basic device. There is no special socket for packet radio, so that only 1k2 operation is possible when connecting a TNC via microphone socket and speaker connection. Cloning of settings works via a two-wire cable connection between the microphone sockets of two devices.

FT-2900

The FT-2900 is the successor to the FT-2800 and differs from it in its higher transmission power of 75 watts.

FT-8500

The Yaesu FT-8500 was a dual-band FM mobile device with an output power of 50 watts in the 2 m band and 35 watts in the 70 cm band from the mid-1990s. The basic device and display unit could be operated remotely.

The operating philosophy differs from other devices: With the exception of a rotary or push button (for power or band selection) next to the display, there were no operating elements on the display unit or on the basic device.

The control elements are arranged on the front and back as well as the long side of the hand-held microphone, also known as the "Smart Controller", with the volume and squelch, each with its own rotary control, being available separately for each band. The microphone was connected via an 8-pin western socket . The microphone signal was transmitted on a separate pair of wires separate from the serial communication between the microphone and the basic device. Due to the special design of the controls, the microphone is likely to be incompatible with other Yaesu devices, and the radio device itself may not be usable without the original microphone due to the lack of controls on the device.

On the back of the basic device there was a 6-pin mini-DIN socket for connecting a TNC or for programming the device via a PC, as well as two 3.5 mm mono jack sockets for connecting separate speakers for UHF and VHF. The antenna connection was not located directly on the device, but - like the power supply connection - was led out with a short cable tail.

FT-8800 or FT-8900

Both FM mobile devices have a detachable control panel so that the radio can be mounted separately from the control panel. A 6-pin Western socket on the control unit serves as the microphone connection . The basic device has a 6-pin mini-DIN socket for connecting a 1k2 or 9k6 TNC (or programming via PC and cloning of settings between two devices via a two-wire cable connection with TTL levels), a 3.5 mm jack socket for an external loudspeaker as well as an antenna socket of type N. These are full-fledged duo band devices, whereby the FT-8800 works on the 2 m (50 watt) and the 70 cm band (35 W), the FT-8900 also works on 6 m and 10 m bands.

The FT-8800 was supplied with a DTMF microphone of the type MH-48 as standard , while the FT-8900 included the non-DTMF-capable MH-42 microphone. The pin assignment of both microphones is different, but it is possible to select the assignment of the microphone socket in the setup menu to match the type of microphone connected.

FTM-10E or FTM-10SE

These are each purely passively cooled (fanless) dual-band mobile devices. With the FTM-10E, the maximum output power is 50 watts in the 2 m and 40 watts in the 70 cm band, with the FTM-10SE 10 watts and 7 watts, respectively. With the FTM-10SE, the basic unit and control panel, with the FTM-10 only the control panel are dust-proof and waterproof according to IP 57 . For these devices, Yaesu not only offers the usual brackets for mounting in vehicles, but also special motorcycle brackets.

The control panel can be removed from the basic unit. A hand-held microphone is not included in the scope of delivery, but a microphone and PTT button are built into the control unit so that it also fulfills the function of the hand-held microphone.

On the back of the basic devices there is a PL socket for the antenna connection and the cable tail for the power supply, as well as connections for an external stereo speaker, a hand microphone and a stereo line-in input for connecting external sound sources. Another connection for an external microphone can be retrofitted to the control unit. A full-fledged VHF radio receiver (but without RDS functionality) is also integrated. Similar to the VX-8, a Bluetooth unit can also be installed. In addition, both devices have a function for automatically adjusting the output volume to the noise level in the environment. Transferring memory contents (cloning) is also possible without a cable connection via radio.

FTM-350

Similar to the VX-8 handheld radio, this mobile device with an output power of 50 watts at 2 m and 70 cm has various APRS functions, but a special receiver from Yaesu is required for GPS reception.

In addition to the loudspeaker in the basic unit, two loudspeakers are built into the removable control unit with a relatively large display, so that FM radio reception is possible in stereo. It is delivered with a DTMF microphone as standard, a Bluetooth unit can be retrofitted. As with the VX-8, the internal TNC cannot be addressed from the outside, but can only be used for APRS, but the device has a mini-DIN socket to which external TNCs for 1k2 and 9k6 packet radio can be connected.

FT1DE

This handheld radio for the amateur radio bands 2 m and 70 cm with an output power of 5 watts, in addition to analog FM operation, also masters the digital modulation type Continuous 4 level FM , C4FM for short (F7W) with a proprietary protocol called Yaesu-Fusion . In terms of reception, the range from 0.5 MHz to 999.7 MHz is swept over. A GPS receiver is built in, APRS is implemented at 1200 and 9600 bit / s on the send and receive side. A programming cable is included in the scope of delivery, the software can be downloaded from the manufacturer. When using an optional hand-held microphone with a built-in camera, the recorded images can be saved on an SD card and the last recorded image can be sent in digital mode; however, viewing is not possible due to missing display.

Yaesu VX-1R

VX-1R

This is a very small handheld radio with a maximum output power of 500 mW when operated via the lithium-ion battery or one watt with an external 6 V power supply. Due to its small size, it does not have a DTMF keyboard. The antenna is connected via an SMA socket.

Yaesu VX-2R

VX-2R

This 47 mm × 81 mm × 23 mm device, which weighs around 130 grams, has an output power of 1.5 watts on the 2 m tape and 1 watt on the 70 cm tape when powered by a battery. With an external power supply with a maximum of 7 volts, this increases to 3 watts or 2 watts. The receiver covers the range from 0.5 to 999 MHz also in the AM and Wide-FM modes. The antenna is connected via an SMA socket.

Yaesu VX-5R

VX-5R

It is a handheld radio for the 6 m, 2 m and 70 cm amateur bands. Thanks to the die-cast housing, the device is extremely robust, but not completely waterproof. The transmission power reaches 5 watts at 6 m and 2 m and 4.5 watts at 70 cm. A lithium-ion battery is standard. It has a CTCSS encoder and decoder and can be equipped with a measuring unit for the air pressure.

VX-7R

VX-8R

FT-51R

This was a dual-band handheld radio for the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands, which was introduced in 1995. Simultaneous reception in the sub and main band as well as full duplex operation were possible. It was also possible to display the frequency allocation around a frequency in the manner of a spectrum analyzer . The DTMF decoder had the special ability to output incoming messages in Morse code over the loudspeaker. For the blind there was the possibility of acoustically outputting status messages. Help texts could be shown on the display in the event of a delay in operating actions.

FT-10 / FT-40 / FT-50

Yaesu FT-50R with standard keyboard

This is a series of walkie-talkies that was introduced in 1996. The FT-10 was the 2 m, the FT-40 the 70 cm and the FT-50 the duo band variant. For the first time, the accumulator was not mounted on the bottom of the device, but on the back of the device. The transmission power was a maximum of 5 watts, the devices were splash-proof. For the first time, Yaesu did not use the classic 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm jack combination to connect a loudspeaker microphone, but a single 4-pin jack plug. The antenna was connected via an SMA socket. The numeric keypad was optional for the monoband versions. There were two versions of the numeric keypad: the standard version FTT-11 and the extended version FTT-12. The extended variant FTT-12 provided a digital recorder, decoder for CTCSS, DTMF paging and a DTMF squelch. Retrofitting the extended keyboard was possible.

FT-23R / FT-33R / FT-73R

This FM handheld radio device series was characterized by a characteristically designed aluminum die-cast housing, in which the PTT was attached to a trapezoidal bulge on the left.

The output power was in the range of 5 watts. The FT-23 was the 2 m variant, the FT-73 was the 70 cm variant, and the Yaesu FT-33R worked in the 222 MHz band.

On the top, next to the BNC antenna socket, were the connections for microphone and loudspeaker as well as controls for squelch and volume and a button for the ring tone or preferred frequency. (The squelch controller was partially omitted for the company radio versions, but the corresponding setting potentiometer was accessible after removing the cover plate, the main switch was not combined with the volume control, but designed as a pressure switch instead of the preferred frequency button.) There was a liquid crystal display and 8 push buttons.

The accumulator (available in different voltage levels and capacities) was attached to the bottom of the device. A connection for external power supply was not provided on the basic device, but there was a mobile adapter or charger that was inserted between the device and the battery.

It was possible to retrofit a DTMF keyboard; the keypad was then in front of the accumulator.
