Yaesu FT-7(B) (original) (raw)

. Yaesu FT-7 is a rugged, solid state and modular built HF amateur-band radio transceiver, suitable for fixed and for mobile operation. The set was built by the Yaesu Corporation in Japan in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its first Japanese release was in 1976. This transceiver was very small for its time; by current modern standards however it is a large mobile set. It is a low-power (QRP) SSB and CW transceiver of which transmitting power is adjustable up from 10 to about 20 W. In Europe the sets were imported by the Swiss firm Sommerkamp and sold as Sommerkamp FT-7(B).
