Okay, you are probably wondering Why Do I need this Radio? ” or “A 15+ year old Radio, Pffftttt… I can get a brand New 2018 model at Ham Radio Outlet. Radios haven’t changed much in a long time, they still transmit / receive data without issue, what makes this old timer better then a New one? These are the questions I will try to answer in the most meaningful way possible. Imagine this, you are sitting on your front lawn enjoying a relaxing Saturday morning, when all of a sudden WHAP WHAM BOOM! Zombies, all over the place! But you need to update your facebook page with thie relevant information Me: Fighting a Hord currently, LoL!! Well, sorry to burst your bubble, there is no more Internet… But How will I (Insert Question here)? The Answer: This Radio… It has seen a lot of good in it’s life, and has a LOT more life to give! I have installed the following Mods to allow increased Hit points for the coming Zombie Hord invasion.. 8.215MHz Crystal Filter. 8.215MHz 500Hz Crystal Filter. 8.215MHz 6kHz Crystal Filter. This beast is ready to up your stats no matter what boss you are battling! Just check out those BOSS pictures I uploaded here! Here are some reviews about the 920… If you can see the 920, he can see you. If you can’t see the 920, you may be only seconds away from death. The 920 once shot down a German fighter plane with its HF Band Steering, by yelling, Bang! The 920 has two speeds: Walk and Kill. Time waits for no device. Unless that device is the 920. When 920 falls in water, 920 doesn’t get wet. Water gets 920’d. BORING LEGAL STUFF BELOW, because our lawyers made us do it.. HF + 50 MHz ALL MODE TRANSCEIVER. Yaesu’s engineers have dedicated themselves to the enhancement of Signal-To-Noise ratio in designing the FT-920. Since recovered audio is the most important consideration at both ends of the communication circuit, the FT-920 is particularly optimized for noise reduction, wide dynamic range consistent with excellent sensitivity, audio tailored to the operators own voice pattern, and ease of operation. The result is an efficient transceiver design without a peer in its price class. High-Tech Receiver Front End. The FT-920’s receiver front end, adapted from the FT-1000D and FT-1000MP legacies, utilizes an up-conversion technique, with a 68.9 MHz first IF being produced by the four-FET doubly-balanced first mixer. Following the first mixer, a four-pole “roofing” filter protects the following stages. This front-end architecture results in excellent image- and intermodulation-rejection characteristics for the receiver system. New-Design MOS FET Power Amplifier. Utilizing rugged MRF255 FETs in the final amplifier, the FT-920 produces 100 Watts of clean output power from 1.8 MHz through 54 MHz! Built into an aluminum die-cast unibody chassis, the FT-920’s thermal dissipation capability is unnmatched in its class. The audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) system of the FT-920 runs at a blazing 333 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second), providing highly-effective filtering and noise reduction with a minimum amount of distortion or “artifacts” that can degrade reception. Noise reduction, bandpass filtering, and auto-notch filters are provided, in addition to a microphone equalizer to boost talk power and enhance audio quality. Oustanding Digital Mode Features. Easy interfacing to digital modes is yours with the fT-920, and its flexibility for digital operation is beyond compare. Both AFSK and FSK connetinos may be accomplished, and the AFSK line is isolated from the microphone jhack, so you never have to worry about a “live mike” while you’re on PSK31. PTT, fixed-level audio output, and squelch status lines are also available. And for connection to a tape recorder, a convenient “AF OUT” RCA-type connector simplifies audio interconnection, independently from the TNC connections used for digital transceive operation. For CW experts, the FT-920 includes a CW Spot control, for precise alignment of your frequency to that of the station you’re working. You also get a CW Tuning Meter, CW-Reverse sideband selection, a CW Pitch control, and a CW Message Memory electronic keyer, with storage and recall access from the front panel. The FT-920’s Omni-Glow display includes a specially-engineered wide-angle lens, to ensure clarity of viewing over a very wide range of angles. The high speed digital metering includes a “peak-hold” feature, to allow easy monitoring of peak signal, power, or SWR values. You also get monitoring of the input DC voltage, speech processor compression level, DSP relative bandwidth, Clarifier offset, and a host of other information including tuning meters for both CW and FM modes.
