Coming soon... but when ??
Yaesu addicts will appreciate : a new HF transceiver is on the way ! The FT-DX 5000MP !! Actually I just found these photos on the net, but it seems really advanced ! Spectrum scope, a lot of filters, multimeter on the front side... etc... etc...
I believe the price also will be "advanced"
Wait and see !

Remarks	The Yaesu FTdx5000MP was announced in November 2009. The transceiver features an impressive 112 dB dynamic range and an IP3 (3rd Order Intercept Point) of +40 dBm (CW, 500 Hz). Newly designed roofing filters are selectable between 300 Hz, 600 Hz, 3 kHz, 6 kHz and 15 kHz. DSP features are powered by two 32-bit processors from Texas Instruments (TMS320C6727B) both running at 300 MHz. Each VFO has its own DSP processor. RF output comes from a pair of VRF150 FETS yielding 200 W. Besides the main display there is a large multi-functional analogue meter (same as in the FTdx-9000) and three sub-displays to indicate sub-frequency, graphical wave and menu functions. The Station Monitor SM-5000 in included with the FTdx5000MP.
