FTdx-5000 latest Block Diagram. List prices in Jp and US market. Mod. MP FCC approved

FTdx-5000MP Receiver Block Diagram (latest release elab- by www.radiocronache.com)  (Clik image to enlarge!)  -
The FTdx-5000 HF/50 MHz Transceiver has a new architecture!
Circuit  Type: VFO-A Double-conversion superheterodyne – VFO-B Triple-conversion superheterodyne – Inrmediate IF’s: VFO-A 9 MHZ/30 kHz (24 kHz for AM/FM) – VFO-B 40.455 MHz/455 kHz/30 kHz (24 kHz for AM/FM)

The Main RX (VFO A) is a two-stage down-conversion design – Yaesu engineers take the down-conversion architecture, only for Main RX A, with narrow ham-band filtering for superior close-in dynamic range. – (Like K3 Elecraft and Orion II Ten-Tec – …US made!)

See The list prices for Japan market  in the CQ ham radio n. 1/2010, and on the Tomei Denshi Co., Ltd. Jp website – See The retail prices for US released on 01/10/2010!!

The Version MP has been FCC approved on 01/29/2010 – FCC id: K6620361X61 – The FTdx5000   had been FCC approved on 12/11/2009 – FCC id: K6620361X60…

Avatar film in 3D di James Cameron. Go Behind the scenes! Movie Trailer and Neytiri Interview

Avatar Exclusive Behind The Scenes on the set! The Movie HD Trailer and Neytiri Interview.  Avatar un film in 3D  di James Cameron, interpretato da Sam Worthington, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana e Stephen Lang .

– See the Behind The Scenes on the set – Vedi Dietro le quinte del set e il Trailer Jake Sully e Neytiri .. interview! dal pianeta Pandora! –  See the Movie  HD Trailer and Neytiri.. interview — See the Avatar Mountains in China (Photo)

Hallelujah Mountains on the Zhangjiajie China !
Le spettacolari montagne di Pandora sul film Avatar si chiamano “Hallelujah Mountains” sono sospese nel vuoto, tra mostri e animali che vi volano attorno e i Nàvi piangono per la loro distruzione.
Esiste realmente un posto nel mondo  da cui James Cameron ha tratto l’ispirazione per l’immaginazione della scenografia, si trova in Cina nel parco della foresta di Zhangjiajie nella provincia dello Hunan. – Qui un fotografo ha scattato foto per quasi tutto il 2008! – (Clik to enlarge!)

Con il video “Behind The Scenes” si può andare dietro le quinte sul set del nuovo film Avatar e conoscere le rivoluzionarie tecniche  sull’arte della “performance capture”.
Per girarlo il canadese James Cameron ha sviluppato nuove tecnologie, compresa una rivolozionaria macchina da presa stereoscopica tridimensionale per ottenere l’effetto di una profondità di campo simile all’occhio umano. Ha introdotto un nuovo sistema sofisticato di “motion capture” che permette la ripresa della mimica facciale degli attori per trasferirla poi sui soggetti computerizzati, oltre all’uso di macchine da presa “virtual camera” e “fusion camera” per consentire una cosidetta “simil vision”. Per Cameron, Avatar è un film di avventura ed è la sua risposta a Star wars, il film che lo convinse ad abbandonare il lavoro di camionista per dedicarsi al cinema! — Link to: Avatar  Official Movie Website

Movie, go Behind the scenes on the set of the new film Avatar and learn all about the art of performance capture. This revolutionary new technique is changing the way CGI characters are developed – Avatar James Cameron’s epic motion picture, is the story of Jake Sully, a paraplegic marine, who replaces his brother on a secret mission to infiltrate the Na’ vi, the colony of beings that sit on the planet of Pandora, where there is a precious ore, that sells at a ridiculous amount. When Jake learns the ways of the Na’ vi, his feelings and learnings will put him and the people he trusts in dangerous jeopardy. -

ADAT ADT-200A Direct-sampling RTX (SDR). Funkamateur, Jan. 2010, have Review Part 1

ADAT ADT-200A SDR Transceiver is ready!  ADT-200A Vollständig digitaler Transceiver bereit!

Funkamateur, January 2010, have published Part 1 of their review on the ADAT ADT-200 direct-sampling Transceiver, by DJ1TO. The ADT-200 truly raises the bar in overall performance; it is comparable to the rx Perseus (….excluding the Perseus instead, allows the external PC!)

La Rivista Funkamateur di Gennaio 2010, ha pubblicato la Parte-1 della Review del ADT-200A un Transceiver a Campionamento Diretto, la recenzione 1 è  curata da DJ1TO.

FTdx-5000 Has FCC ID: K6620361X60. Here some more RX information and pictures!

FTdx-5000 Has the FCC Certificate, ID: K6620361X60, receved December 10, 2009!
That Was Fast….. will be bringing out very soon!

The Main RX (VFO A) is a two-stage down-conversion design 9 MHz first IF and 30kHz second IF . – Yaesu engineers take the down-conversion architecture with narrow ham-band filtering for superior close-in dynamic range. – (Like K3 Elecraft and Orion II Ten-Tec, see the [Note] below!)

The sub RX (VFO B) is not the same! It is a three stage Up-conversion design. The 40.455MHz first IF stage feature 3 roofing filter 15, 6, 3kHz. Each roofinf is a four-pole, monolithic crystal filter (like FT-2000, FT-950). This Sub RX uses a new subdisplay with two EL (Eltro Luminesense) to indicate Sub frequency, graphical wave and menu functions. One EL functions is dedicated at the Main RX.

[Note] Like Orion II IFs: Main Receiver IF1=9 MHz, IF2=455 kHz, IF3=14 kHz (IMD3 101 dB IP3 +24 dBm @ 5kHz) – The Sub Receiver is not the same! IF1=45 MHz, IF2=455 kHz, IF3=14 kHz (+5 dBm @ 20kHz.

See the Some more RX information and the Links below. Here are some more pictures and the EN User Manual (Part 1/Part 2) in PDF….

FTdx-5000MP. The new Yaesu HF/50MHz 200W Transceiver and SM-5000 Monitor

FTdx-5000 Series – The new Yaesu HF/50 MHz 200W  Transceiver: FTdx-5000MP, FTdx-5000D, FTdx-5000 and the SM-5000 Station Monitor.
The Yaesu FT DX 5000 Series will be formally introduced by Yaesu very soon. Pricing and availability is currently unknown (www.radiocronache…23.11.2009)

!!! FTdx-5000 by Yaesu Broshure: 14 MHz band 2kHz offset 105 dB 3rd-IMD, IP3 +36 dBm, way better than the Elecraft K3 @ 102 dB IP3 +26 dBm!

The FTdx-5000 (Main Receiver only) includes a rather traditional 1st IF 9 MHz (Elecraft K3 1st IF 8,215 MHz) and provides for selectable roofing filters (6-pole crystal) at the first IF to limit the off-frequency signals getting into the receiver.
Note that the roofing filter’s job is only to protect the rest of the receiver, and that the operating bandwidth filtering is performed by the IF DSP (like Elecraft K3 Transceiver).

See the following pictures and Manufacturer’s Specifications…..
