标题:so far it is great! 目前为止还很棒!
原文:just got this radio yesterday, and so far i love it. i also have an ft-7100m, which was a serial number "2", so it did not have any of the problems of the earlier 7100s.
the 8900 is far superior to even yaesu's own 7100. programming is easy, the dual controls are great, scanning is very fast. intermod rejection so far seems to be really good. the frequency range is great and the "left" vfo will scan through all of your memory channels. unlike some multi-band radios that have a vfo for each band, you can program all 700+ memory channels in any of the bands and you press "scan" and it will fly through them all. while on the right side you can monitor the 144 and 440 bands. you can even set up a preferential scan list so that the left side scans only non-ham frequencies and the right side scans only the ham-frequencies, for example.
so far i am loving the radio. as mentioned, it is easy to program, but with this many channels, i hope the computer programming software comes out soon.
for those of you with a 7100 who are looking to upgrade, i suggest it. also, if you have the ysk-7100 separation kit for the 7100, it will work with the 8900. yaesu is sneaky because the radio heads are almost exactly the same size, but on the 8900 they moved the "channels" that hold the remote head into the remote head bracket. the 8900 will snap into the 7100 bracket, but it is not a perfect fit. it will hold the radio head, however, and it saves you from spending another 80 bucks if you already have the separation kit from the 7100.
at this point, the only complaint i have is that the buttons on the radio are not illuminated. it is not a big deal because you quickly learn what buttons are where, but still it would be a nice feature. not enough to bring it down to a 4, however. i also was looking at the icom-2720h, but this seems to be a better value, especially with the alpha-tags and the extra two bands.
译文:昨天刚得到这台机器,目前我是喜欢它。
我还有一台ft-7100m,它的机器串号是“2”(意识是第二台正式出厂的机器),所以它没有早期的7100s的任何问题。
这台8900是远远优越于yaesu自身的7100。程序是容易用的,双段控制得很好,扫描频率是相当快的。交叉干扰(?)过滤得看起来很好。频率范围很大,同时“左侧”的vfo将扫描你所有存贮的频道。不像有些多波段电台,每个波段对应一个vfo,你能控制所有在任一波段上的700多的存贮频道,当你按下扫描键,机器就会扫遍所有这些存贮频道 。在右侧(应是在前面),你能同时监听144m与440m两个波段。你还能安排一个优先扫描列表,例如,你可在左侧扫描所有不是业余无线电频道(如天气,新闻广播),右侧仅仅扫描业余无线电频道。
目前我是喜欢这台机器。当然,说起它来,程序是很容易使用,但有这么多频道 ,我希望这台机器的计算机软件能快些运转起来。
拥有7100的你,如果想来一次升级的话,我建议你像我这样(换成8900)。同样的,如果你有7100的ysk-7100分离安装组件,它将能用在8900上面。yaesu是不光彩的,因为机器前面板几乎是同样的尺寸,但在8900上面,yaesu将原来在远程面板上面的“频道”按键,改到远程面板的支架上面(?字面是这个意思)。8900可以放到7100支架里面,但它不能很好地适应这个7100支架。这个旧的7100支架能安装好这个前面板,当然了,如果你有这个7100的分离组件,你就会节约另外购买它的80元钱。
我所报怨的唯一的缺点,就是电台上的按键不能被照亮。这不是一个大问题,你将很快学会那些个按键所在的位置,但8900仍不失为一台好机器。当然了,这个抱怨不够将这台机器的评价降到“4”。我也考虑icom-2720,但这台8900看起来更加超值,尤其是它的字母标识存贮频道功能,以及外加的两个波段。
我的发挥:这是一个新机到手后的发布,他提出了两个“小”问题:一个是夜里用不方便按键,键本身没照明;另一个是找出频道不方便,要在软件上改进。他也说了,这不能将这台机器的评价降为“4”。
