The FT-991A is the next-generation of the widely popular FT-991. Like its predecessor, the FT-991A is
creatively designed to fit into a very compact (W9.0” xH3.2” x D9.3”) rugged case and will deliver up to 100
Watts solid output power (50 Watts on 140/430MHz) on SSB, CW, AM, FM, Packet and C4FM Digital on the
popular HF/50/140/430MHz bands.
In keeping with the spirit of the rich performance of the FT-991, the new FT-991A provides two new stimulating
and useful advanced features - a Real-time Spectrum Scope and a Multi-Color Waterfall Display.
The new dynamic real-time spectrum scope gives radio operators the ability to graphically view the location of
signals on the band while they listen to the received audio allowing them to quickly move to the desired signal.
The strength of signals on the band can readily be seen on the Multi-color waterfall display. Chronological
order color differentiation allows operators to easily recognize weak signals at a glance; signals that might
otherwise be missed on the spectrum scope.
These additional exciting functions enable more efficient and satisfying operating time while making important
contacts on the crowded HF and 6 meter bands. We believe that the new FT-991A will be widely accepted as
an ideal field gear rig by the majority of the ham radio operators who want to enjoy reliable and flawless
communication on all the HF and V/UHF bands with just one radio.
The new FT-991A naturally contains all the features packed into the original version of the FT-991 including a
3kHz roofing filter for the triple conversion receiver that effectively attenuates interfering signals and enables
outstanding performance while still producing high quality audio. The 32bit high speed floating point DSP
provides effective cancellation and reduction (DNR) of random noise, and the Auto Notch (DNF) automatically
eliminates QRM caused by dominant beat tones while the receiver’s Contour function and APF (Audio Peak
Filter) can be used to further reduce undesired noise. A built-in 3.5inch full-color touch screen high
resolution display allows stress-free operability and visibility.

This radio replaced my Kenwood TS-2000 in my new shack. I've always been a Kenwood fan but suspected Yaesu did HF better. With C4FM a common thing here in the KC area and the urge to really get active on HF digital modes I took the leap and bought this radio. With a modest Comet CHA-250B on my deck in a patio umbrella stand I Worked All States - Digital, in less than 2 weeks. Love the built-in sound card. Still a great radio 5 months later.

I volunteer for emergency services and also the local American Legion post was tasked with establishing a talarc station which is what got me into HAM radio. I bought the FT-991A due to its versatility and flexibility as a home unit to help provide coverage for those things I volunteer for since my residence is located over 200 ft higher than those facilities and is nearly at the high point in the county. I have not been disappointed! I also purchased the Yaesu antenna tuner box accessory and put up an end feed antenna from it and have been super busy for almost a year now expanding my abilities. This unit was super easy to figure out right out of the box. Very straight forward so easy to remember how to do things. It has enough power to get you going across all its bands. I only got started in this a year ago but hard to imagine anything more easy to use or versatile.

The FT-991A is easy to set up and get on the air. This is radio that will do almost anything any ham operator would want! It’s got a decent built in tuner and built-in sound card, too! So it is ready to do HF/VHF/UHF all modes and also has C4FM digital! A great looking and great sounding radio! Throw up a wire antenna Alf work the world!

The FT-991A arrived in a few days with protective outer shipping box. Works just fine for my operating.

The FT-991A arrived very fast, and packaged very well. Works just as expected (and I expected a lot)!
