Announcement of Yaesu FT-818 HF/VHF/UHF
YAESU FT-818 (HF/VHF/UHF/TRANSCEIVER) Replacement model of FT-817
Rumors about the Yaesu FT-818 have been circulating for about 6 years and now we get to see the first details on the new portable QRP all-band.
All data points to an extremely outdated concept (superheterodyne you need to learn about SDR at some point Yaesu, people have been using it for 20 years) that still lacks the 70MHz band because of the obvious reason (same with FT-891 and FT-991): IF around 69MHz.
Full USB interface (CAT + audio), (much) larger screen, LiPo internal battery, 10W output, IF-DSP are some of the features that just have to be there in a 2018 radio.
Details can be found on the FCC website.

An FCC ID is the product ID assigned by the FCC to identify wireless products in the market. The FCC chooses 3 or 5 character "Grantee" codes to identify the business that created the product. For example, the grantee code for FCC ID: K6603770X30 is K66. The remaining characters of the FCC ID, 03770X30, are often associated with the product model, but they can be random. These letters are chosen by the applicant. In addition to the application, the FCC also publishes internal images, external images, user manuals, and test results for wireless devices. They can be under the "exhibits" tab below.

Is the FT-818 the same radio as the FT-818 ND?
