Finally you have the whole radio, that’s great! When I bought the complete OPTIMA version, I noticed that the serial number of the SPA-1 module matches the number on the FIELD module. That’s probably the only difference when you buy the OPTIMA version. And strangely, I noticed that it’s actually cheaper to buy the modules separately.

Thank you for your informative video, looks like the Spa1 is in my future. Best Regards, N8GMW

You had the HF antenna connected to ANT 2, with the radio selecting ANT 1. So far, I like mine a lot.

$2000 USD for this radio with state TAX, 3-4 states do not have a TAX.

Hi Andreas, could you share the details of the GPS unit you show on your video please? I guess this unit will not work on the FTM-500, right? Yaesu could not have thought about some kind of standard for the external GPS connecting to their radios, right? Thanks in advance de F5VLQ

I have an FT991A, it has everything, why would I buy an FTX-1? Too complicated!!

How on earth did you even get your hands on one? Over on this side of the pond, they're unobtanium unless you buy the full Optima.
