Hi,
I'm very sorry fellows, but I don't have more infos on Yaesu
new solid state amplifier than I stated already on the reflector:
* no, I don't know what are the harmonics and IMD figures
( but I would like to know them too )
* no, I don't know what will be the price in U.S. and when
will be available ( call your Yaesu dealer or the Yaesu U.S.A. )
* no, I don't know if it has a remote control unit ( I suppose yes,
because the closest competitor has it, hi,hi )
* no, I don't know how many protections are and which parameters
are monitored
* no, I don't know how what's the tuning time and how many
memories are available on automatic antenna tuner
* no, I'm not related to Yaesu ( but I would like some shares in this
company, especially after they will improve their human engineering
& MMI concepts, hi, hi )

You can check yourself the Yaesu WEB-site at:
http://www.yaesu.co.jp/what/idx003.htm
only if you have a Netscape japanese-compatible browser.
Otherwise, you'll be able to see only the photos.

>Yaesu - Japan released first pictures and technical specs of their

>competitor set IC-756 / IC-PW-1. Where is Kenwood ?

>The appearance is absolutely different than everything you saw

>for about 30% of the RF deck front panel surface. It looks much much
>better than the new Icom IC-PW-1 HF/VHF 1KW out amplifier. I only
>hope that the performance, spectral purity and his reliability will match
>the outstanding look !

> It is composed by two units: VL-1000, the amplifier and automatic
>antenna tuner deck and the VP-1000 , the power supply unit.
>
>Few characteristics:
>
>* frequency range: 1.8MHz to 54MHz including all the amateur band
>* drive: max.100W
>* output power: at least 1KW at 240VAC or 500W at 100VAC
> - modes and duty cycle not specified
>* RF design: use of unspecified number of Motorola MRF-150
> MOSFETs modules at 48VDC
>* AC power: 100VAC @ 20A, 240V@15A
>* dimmensions: both units 410W x 135H x 410D (mm ).
>* weight: VL-1000 15Kg; VP-1000 12kG ( is clearly a switching PS )
>* built-in automatic antenna tuner : impedance matching 16.7-150Ohms
> @1.8-30MHz; 20-125Ohms @50MHz; insertion loss: max. 0.7dB
>* fully automatic with Yaesu Transceivers: FT-900, FT-920, FT-1000(D)
> & FT-1000MP
>
>More info and pictures on Yaesu-Japan WEB site ( unfortunately in
>japanese only ).
>Don't ask me for prices: I only hope they will be close to our budgets !
