FT-DX3000D receiver performance :

Phenomenal multi-signal characteristics that were demonstrated in the FT-DX5000. Using the two signal dynamic range measuring method with 10 kHz signal separation, the FT-DX3000 performance is 108.5 dB, IP3 +37 dBm. (Test settings: CW 500 Hz bandwidth, Roofing Filter: 600 Hz and IPO is ON). With frequency separation of only 2 kHz between the desired signal and an interfering signal, the dynamic range measures 106 dB and IP3 +33 dBm. (Test settings: CW 500 Hz bandwidth, Roofing Filter: 600 Hz and IPO is ON).


Yaesu FT-DX3000 dynamic range and IP3 performance

The 3-step IPO settings permit the most appropriate gain for best signal reception. The IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) is selected by a control switch located on the front panel. The IPO selection determines the gain of the RF amplifier. The gain setting is very effective in optimizing the receiver performance, depending on the antenna and the communication propagation conditions. The IPO, the ATT and one stage of the RF amplifier are used to optimize the signal levels that are sent to the mixer. This is especially important for HF low-band operation. The "AMP1" uses one RF amplifier stage, and maintains a better balance between the sensitivity and the receiver performance (the gain is around 10 dB). In addition, "AMP 2" uses two stages of the RF amplification and can obtain higher sensitivity (the gain is around 17 dB). This variety of selections provides superior receiver performance and the best possible communications with changing band conditions.
