29/50/144/430 MHz FM QUAD BAND TRANSCEIVERFT-8900RLeading the Way in FM Mobile Design…From the Engineers at Yaesu!You'll never think about mobile radios the same way. Instead of a dual-bander,enjoy the versatility and performance of the FT-8900R Quad Bander!Crafting the "perfect" dual-band FM transceiver is a difficult task, requiring engineering expertise in the latest areas of high-techdesign. Adding other bands is an even greater challenge, calling for a delicate touch so as not to upset the original performance of thedual-bander. The FT-8900R is the crowning achievement in our proud FM mobile design history, bringing together the best features ofYaesu electrical, ergonomic, and mechanical design know-how in a compact, versatile Quad Bander with leading-edge features likeVHF/UHF full duplex, cross-band repeat, independent operation on two bands, and six "Hyper Memory" keys that store completetransceiver configuration settings. Quite simply, the FT-8900R has no peer among mobile transceivers.HIGH MID1 MID2 LOW50W/35W(430MHz) 20W 10W 5WQUAD BAND OPERATIONThe FT-8900R combines the "traditional" 144/430 MHz local-communicationsconcept with the exciting capability for Sporadic-E or F2 DX on the 29 MHz and 50MHz bands, for nationwide or worldwide FM communications from your car! Thefirst Amateur Radio FM mobile transceiver providing this capability, the FT-8900Rwill make you wonder how you got by with a two-band transceiver up to now.WIDE FREQUENCY COVERAGEThe FT-8900R provides extended receiver coverage beyond the Amateurbands, so you can keep informed of communication activities in the publicsafety, commercial, aircraft, and government communications ranges. Includedis coverage of 28-29.7 MHz, 50-54 MHz,108-180 MHz, 320-480 MHz, and700-985 MHz (cellular frequencies are blocked and non-restorable).INDEPENDENT TWO-CHANNEL, DUAL RECEIVE AND FULL DUPLEX OPERATIONBasically operating as two radios in one, the FT-8900R may be configured in anumber of ways. For example, you can set up the "left" side of the rig foroperation on 29, 50, 144, or 430 MHz operation, while setting the "right" side to430 MHz. Or set up the left side on 29/50/144/430 MHz, and the right side on144 MHz. And, if you like, you can configure your FT-8900R for 144-144 MHzor 430-430 MHz dual receive operation—so you never miss out on the action!The left and right sideshave their own Volume andSquelch controls, as well asS- meters, so your operatingpreferences are nevercompromised.HIGH POWER OUTPUTTo get your message through when it counts, the FT-8900R puts out a full 50Watts of power on the 29/50/144 MHz bands, and 35 Watts on 430 MHz. Toensure thermal stability during long transmissions, a thermal sensor monitorsheat sink temperature, engaging the rear panel's cooling fan when needed.HIGH PERFORMANCE29 MHz+144 MHz 29 MHz+430 MHz50 MHz+144 MHz 50 MHz+430 MHz144 MHz+144 MHz 144 MHz+430 MHz430 MHz+144 MHz 430 MHz+430 MHz
