XIEGU or YAESU for a listener of MW and SW ?

 Yaesu is a very famous brand for amateur radio and SWL but now they dont make only receivers like in the past. You can buy a transmitter ( Tranceiver or TX ) to listen Medium wave and shortwave. 




Yaesu FT-891

699,00 €
Price are lower in North America

Receiver  30 kHz à 56 MHz  CW, AM, SSB, FM

155 x 52 x 218 mm, 1,9 kg

To operate an amateur radio station at home, the majority of transceivers with a standard output power of 100 W without an integrated power supply are designed for direct connection to an external stabilized power supply delivering a low voltage which is generally 13.8V (DC).

If you listen only you need only 2.0A ( 2 ampéres )

The Yaesu FT-891 is a very compact mobile and portable transceiver for all shortwave and 6m bands. The receiver is designed as a triple super (FM: double super) and thus allows very good values regarding sensitivity and behavior of large signals. A 3 kHz roof filter is fitted as standard and ensures good proximity selection. With the TCXO, which is also factory-fitted, the transceiver achieves a frequency stability of ±0.5 ppm.
In the IF, the FT-891 is equipped with a powerful 32-bit signal processor (DSP). This makes it unnecessary to purchase expensive crystal filters; Almost all filter widths can be adjusted depending on the operating mode. Additionally, this DSP also provides effective noise and notch reduction functions (automatic and manual). As with the larger Yaesu transceivers, a "Contour" and an "Audio Peak Filter" (APF) are offered, which significantly improve intelligibility in many cases.
A CAT interface for controlling the transceiver is provided through the USB socket. For digital modes, the usual eight-pin mini DIN "RTTY/DATA" socket and an external interface are used. In addition, there is the usual Yaesu tuner/linear socket, so existing accessories can also be used with the FT-891. The ATAS-120A mobile antenna can also be used with the transceiver. The antenna connection is made via an SO-239 socket; For convenient adaptation with other antennas, the new FC-50 automatic coupler is offered. It is also possible to use weatherproof FC-40 for the end wires. Other connections are available for REM/ALC, a Morse key and an external speaker.

Le FT-891 offre un fonctionnement sur toutes les bandes d'ondes courtes de 160 à 10 m y compris 60 m ainsi que sur la bande 6 m. La puissance d'émission est de 100 W en SSB/CW et 40 W en AM. Les modes de fonctionnement sont SSB (USB/LSB), CW, AM et FM. En raison de sa petite taille, la radio est particulièrement adaptée à une installation dans un véhicule, mais peut également être utilisée à la maison ou comme radio portable. Le panneau avant peut également être monté à distance avec l'option YSK-891.
Le grand confort d'utilisation de l'émetteur-récepteur tous modes FT-891 est assuré, entre autres, par le grand écran LCD facile à lire. Un grand bouton d'accord et un bouton multifonction, ainsi que les menus contextuels, assurent une utilisation rapide et claire. Trois touches de la face avant peuvent être affectées librement selon les souhaits de l'utilisateur. Un affichage multicolore au bord de l'écran indique l'état actuel (squelch, transmission).
Comme la plupart des transceivers mobiles Yaesu, le FT-891 supporte l'antenne mobile ATAS-120A. Cela vous permet de mettre en place rapidement un système pratique pour une communication mobile mondiale. Entre autres choses, un microphone à main MH-31A8J est inclus dans la livraison. Le clavier externe FH-2 peut être connecté pour une saisie pratique des fréquences.
Avec une largeur de 155 mm, une hauteur de 52 mm et une profondeur de 218 mm ainsi que 1,9 kg, le FT-891 est très maniable et pourtant pas trop petit. L'alimentation de 13,8 V / 23 A est possible avec un adaptateur secteur, mais aussi par batterie mobile ou lors d'une journée de terrain ou d'une expédition.

This TX RX YAESU is a little expensive but very good quality made in JAPAN. it will not be hard to sale on second hand market if you want to buy another TX or RX.



Xiego is a Chinese brand famous for QRP tranceivers.



These tranceivers can be also use by a listener to listen MW and SW
