Yaesu’s power amplifier technology combine to provide 50 Watts of clean transmit power with enhanced current consumption efficiency. Yaesu's patent pending aluminum die-cast shell construction dissipates heat throughout the entire transceiver chassis and eliminates the need for an external thermally switched cooling fan.The FT-1500M's receiver section is as tough as its construction. It features Yaesu's renowned RF ATT (Advanced Track Tuning), that allows for outstanding spurious image rejection. The automatic tracking bandpass filter used in the ATT system protects the RF receiver section from strong out-of- band signals that can result in intermodulation and adjacent band interference in lower quality transceivers! The FT-1500M's wide band receiver covers 137 to 174 MHz. The FT-1500M can monitor Amateur, Public Safety, and Weather Band stations with ease, keeping you in touch with all the action in your community! This allows the FT-1500M to fit in an incredibly small case size: less than 5 inches square 1.4 inches high (weighing a mere 960 grams) and offer superior operating specifications as well. DATA INTERFACING For packet operation at either 1200 bpsor 9600 bps, The FT-1500M is conveniently equipped with a DB-9 data jack located on the rear chassis for neat and organized data interfacing.The DATA jack provides connection points for transmit data, receiver audio, PTT, and ground. Signal levels, bandwidths, and impedance levels are all optimized for the user selected data rate for maximum throughput. 50-TONE CTCSS ENCODE AND DECODE BUILT IN For easy repeater access or silent monitoring of busy channels, CTCSS Encoder and Decoder circuits are built into the FT-1500M. CTCSS data may be stored independently in each memory channel. The FT-1500M includes a CTCSS "Tone Search Scan" feature which lets you search for the CTCSS tone on an incoming signal. ALPHA NUMERIC CHANNEL DISPLAY Memory channels may be displayed either with the channel frequency or a personalized Alpha-Numeric title for easy channel recognition. Up to six letters, numbers, or characters are conveniently programmed from the FT-1500M control panel or optional ADMS-2F PC software. WIDE / NARROW DEVIATION SELECTION For operation in areas where 12.5 kHz Channel, separation is used, the FT-1500M transmitter deviation may by set to a "Narrow Deviation" mode which will set it at ±2.5 kHz. WEATHER BAND MEMORY BANK The FT-1500M includes a separate 10- channel Weather Band Memory Bank for quick and easy access to weather broadcast information in your area without having to scan through your regular memories! Alpha-Numeric titles may be programmed for Weather Band channels, as well. VERSATILE SCANNING CAPABILITY The FT-1500M includes a separate 10- channel Weather Band Memory Bank for quick and easy access to weather broadcast information in your area without having to scan through your regular memories! Alpha-Numeric titles may be programmed for Weather Band channels, as well Additional features include: |
