Fully tested and in excellent condition! Yaesu FT-847 all-band, all-mode transceiver covering HF, 6m, 2m, and 70cm. Powerful 100W output, dual receive, and full satellite capability – a clean, reliable radio for serious operators. Covers 160 m through 70 cm (HF, VHF, and UHF). Dual receive capability (HF + VHF/UHF). Satellite operation with full duplex capability. Built-in CTCSS and DCS tone systems. 100 W output on HF/6 m, 50 W on 2 m, 20 W on 70 cm. Large multi-function LCD display. CAT control interface for computer integration. This unit is in excellent working order. All controls, displays, and functions operate as they should. Cosmetically very clean with only minor signs of use. Always used in a smoke-free shack. Unmatched for Satellite Operation. The FT-847 includes crossband full duplex operatin, so you can hear yourdownlink signal while transmitting (on a different band) on the uplink. The FT-847 is ready for operatin on Mode A (TX: 145 MHz, RX: 29 MHz), Mode B (TX: 435 MHz, RX: 145 MHz), Mode J (TX: 145 MHz, RX: 435 MHz), or Mode T (TX: 21 MHz, RX: 145 MHz). Independent display of both the TX and RX frequencies is provided, and twelve dedicated Satellite VFOs allow you to set the transceiver up for operation on a number of different transponders. Both “Normal” and “Inverted” tracking of the uplink and dosnlink VFOs is available. Strong enough to survive the rigors of competitive HF operatin, yet sensitive enough for stand-alone Moonbounce operation without an external preamplifier, the receiver section of the FT-847 includes a low noise preamplifier, followed by a quad-FET first mixer, whch provides outstanding rejection of intermodulation. On 430 MHz, the receiver preamplifier is a HEMT device, for extremely low noise. And if you have tower-mounted preamplifiers you wish to utilize, the FT-847 can be configured to bypass the internal preamp in favort of passing +12V through your coax line to power your preamplifier. Built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). For improved interference rejection, or enhancement of the signal-to-nise ratio, the FT-847 incvludes a sophisticated audio DSP system. Featuring Auto-Notch, Noise Reduction, and Bandpass Filter circuits, the DSP is an effective tool for improving receiver performance. The Bandpass Filter is particularly effective in weak signal work, such as EME (Moonbounce), as the CW bandwidth may be reduced to a razor-sharp 25 Hz, with a variable center frequency. This can yield almost 10 dB of signal-to-noise improvement over many commonly-used audio filters. Shuttle-JogT Quick Tuning Aid. First introduced on Yaesu’s FT-1000MP transceiver, the Shuttle-JogT Tuning Ring provides rapid frequency change by its unique spring-loaded design. Rotating the Shuttle-JogT ring slightly to the left or right beginas manual scanning to lower or higher frequencies, respectively; lean the ring further, and the scanning rate increases! High-Contrast Multi-Function Blue Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The large blue LCD provides high resolution and contrast for easy viewing from a wide range of angles and light levels. Dozens of status indicators keep you informed of every aspect of your FT-847’s operating characteristics, with a large Sub-VFO field on the right side beig particularly helpful during satellite operation. The LCD’s illumination brightness is adjustable via an 8-level dimmer function.
