SOLD! USED YAESU FT-1000MP mkV AM/FM/SSB/CW TRANSCEIVER

USED YAESU FT-1000MP (MK-V) VERY GOOD CONDITION, FULLY TESTED ORIGINAL POWER LEAD AND MICROPHONE

The Mark-V FT-1000MP utilizes a conservatively-designed power amplifier, consisting of a pair of Philips BLF147 Power MOS FETs, in a 30-Volt push-pull configuration. A fast-acting automatic antenna tuner and revolutionary heat sink design ensure reliable operation, even during the heavy duty cycle conditions of contest or Class-A operation.

The Mark-V is the first commercially-produced Amateur transceiver to provide Class-A operation for its power amplifier. When engaged by the front panel's [CLASS-A] switch, the PA bias is changed dramatically, and the Mark-V puts out a 75-Watt signal envelope of astounding purity: during Class-A operation, SSB 5th- and higher-order Intermodulation Distortion (the kind that contributes to "splatter" reports) will drop to the -80 dB range!
