Last night I looked on the Japanese website of Yaesu, hoping to find some clues about the FTX-1F such as price, recent specs, availability etc.. My Japanese is poor (well non-existent!) so I searched all categories. On the Japanese site I could see no mention of it at all!
These are the rumours (that I have seen so far):
- Price: around £1300. If correct, this would be far too much and would not dent the competition.
- Availability: April 2025, waiting on FCC approval.
- Specs: Nothing at all since last summer!
I may be very very wrong, but I am surprised we have heard nothing factual since last summer. even though it was due to be released in "early 2025".
Hmm.
On present form I give Yaesu less than 5 years to quit the amateur radio market.

Once a week I have a look to see if 'Early 2025' has arrived yet, to no avail. I wrote to ML a few days ago reminding him it was 'early 2025' and where was the new radio, again to no avail. Not looking good. John GØOZY
