A Yaesu FT-891 Radio Tuned to the 10 Meter Band. The Yaesu FT-891 is a HF and 6 meters all mode mobile amateur radio transceiver. The FT-891 was first announced to the public by Yaesu at the 2016 Dayton Hamvention. [1] The radio has 100 watts output on CW, SSB, and FM modulations and 25 watts of output in AM. [2]
As an "all-band" transceiver, the TS-2000 offers a maximum power output of 100 watts on the HF, 6 meters, and 2 meters bands, 50 watts on 70 centimeters, and, with the TS-2000X or the optional UT-20, 10 watts on the 1.2 GHz or 23 centimeters band. The (American version) radio's main receiver covers 30 kHz through 60 MHz, 142 MHz through 152 MHz ...
Herbert G. Johnson, W6QKI, founded Swan Engineering. Johnson built the first ten largely vacuum tube type design single sideband (SSB) transceivers in a garage in Benson, Arizona, in 1960-1961. The more expensive Collins KWM-2 was the only other competing transceiver at the time. The operation moved to Oceanside, California, where, at one point ...
An ICOM IC-7300 Radio Tuned to the 20 Meter Band. The ICOM IC-7300 is a multimode 6 meter, 4 meter (ITU Region 1 only) and HF base station amateur radio transceiver. [1] The IC-7300 was announced to the public at the Japan Ham Fair in 2015. [2] The radio has 100 watts output on CW, SSB, and FM modulations and 25 watts of output in AM. [3]
10 meter radios ("rigs") are often used with transverters - devices designed to shift a radio's operating frequency range - in order to provide inexpensive access to AM/SSB/CW modes on VHF and higher frequencies. 10 meter rigs can be bought for less than $100 during periods of low sunspot activity.
NASA astronaut Col. Doug Wheelock, KF5BOC, Expedition 24 flight engineer, operates the NA1SS ham radio station in the Zvezda Service Module of the International Space Station using a Kenwood TM-D700E transceiver. Amateur radio satellites can be accessed, some using a hand-held transceiver , even, at times, using the factory "rubber duck ...
Amplitude modulation (AM) was once the main voice mode in amateur radio before being superseded by Single-sideband modulation (SSB). But AM has recently become a nostalgic specialty interest on the shortwave ham bands. [5] A number of AMers operate vintage vacuum tube transmitters in conjunction with separate receivers.
This was a windfall for amateur radio enthusiasts, allowing access to fairly inexpensive radios which could easily be modified for use in the 10 meter band. American Novice and Technician class licensees were granted CW and SSB segments on the 10 meter band as of 21 March 1987.
