@chuangpeyyun 好的,所以從 Envisioning Information 開始看起,了解。
圖書館的書很舊了,有考慮直接從 Amazon.com 收一套二手書,我前一陣子四本精裝不到 80 鎂,請教一下值得買嗎?

@BX3ADD 前公司有小小的圖書館,下午茶時間有時候會晃進去翻個幾本。其中我特別喜愛的就是 envisioning information (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
翻一頁驚嘆一下,再陷入各種資料圖像化的可能性的美好想像

@wyomingsurvival Can you see thru the monocular with hex cap on? It looks like an anti-reflection device, but I cannot tell from its photos on the web site.

Well, this is embarrassing. I knew nothing about the "current Yaesu FTX1F debacle." I've been so busy finishing up writing five books during the past year that this was only a slight recollection that there was some issue based on my ham radio YouTube video I saw a long time ago. I looked into it and got a response from Google AI. Note: I am not taking sides. I just want to know if the following is truly reflective of both then and now for this rig.
"The "debacle" surrounding the launch of the Yaesu FTX-1F (also referred to as the FTX-1 or FTX-1 Optima) in early-to-mid 2025 stems from significant early-adopter reports of software bugs, hardware limitations, and high pricing, despite generally positive reviews on build quality. The radio is marketed as a portable, all-mode SDR, but many users have found it to be unreliable in the field during its initial release phase.
Key Issues and Reported Failures
Transmit Failures (QRP/POTA): A major issue reported by users is that the radio cuts out during transmission, particularly during voice POTA/SOTA operations.
Firmware Bugs & Freezing: Several users have reported that the screen and controls freeze, requiring a power cycle.
Failed Firmware Updates: Some users have reported that firmware updates have caused the radio to become unbootable, forcing a return to Yaesu for repair.
APRS Inoperability: The APRS functionality has been reported to be unstable, with random failures and freezing, particularly when not using the optional FGPS-5 unit.
Missing Features/Software: The radio launched without provided computer programming software, requiring users to manually enter up to 999 channels, which has been described as a major oversight for a $1,500+ unit.
RT Systems Compatibility: Initial firmware updates caused incompatibilities with RT Systems programming software.
Design and Performance Controversies
Weight and Bulk: While marketed for field use, some users consider the FTX-1 heavy and bulky, especially with the 100W Optima package, leading to debates on its suitability for backpacking compared to the Icom IC-705.
Overheating and Power: Early, unverified reports suggested that the radio might suffer from high current draw and heat generation, particularly during internal tuner use.
High Cost: Potential buyers have expressed dissatisfaction with the high price point, particularly given that crucial features (like Bluetooth and GPS) were initially considered optional extras.
Status of the Situation
Firmware Patches: Yaesu has released firmware updates to address some of the issues, including fixes for the main CPU and display.
Fix Efforts: Users have found success in resolving some issues through a "Master Reset" after updating firmware.
Mixed Reception: Despite the bugs, some users have reported that the radio is functional after the initial fixes and has good build quality, hinting that it will be a solid radio once the software matures."
