FTdx-5000 the answer.. RX-1 Double Quad Double Balanced 1st Mixer- Sharp Crystal Roofing

Yaesy FTdx-5000 The sharp 6/8-pole crystal roofing filter (300 Hz 600 Hz 3 kHz)
The 9 MHz 1st IF Main Receiver: Eight, 3SK294 Dual Gate MOS FETs are employed for the 1st mixer in 2 x 4 configuration to establish the Double Quad Double Balanced Mixer for the FTdx-5000 RX-A  only – See the Board layout and Schematic diagram on the Image depiction by ©www.radiocronache.com (clik to enlarge) – !!

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…

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…..
