Hi Fitri ,

The sensitivity of Yaesu FT-847 at 144/430 MHz with preamplifier ON is 
0.125 uV for a S/N ratio of 10 dB into a Bandwidth of 2400 Hz in SSB

To convert the above sensitivity into Noise Figure NF in dB we can use the
following formula:
                                                    -6   2
                                   ( Vin  x 10    )   x 20
                                                                           
NF    = [ 10 log      ----------------------------  ] + 174
    dB                 10          BW    x   S/N   
                                         

Where:
Vin  = Applied input voltage in uV over 50 ohm RX input impedance 
BW = Bandwidth in Hz 
S/N = Signal to Noise ratio in power ratio and not dB 

Working the numbars for a FT 847 in SSB we get:

                                                    -6   2
                                 ( 0.125 x 10    )  x 20 
NF    = [ 10 log      -------------------------  ] + 174   = 5.14 dB 
     dB                10         2400 x 10 


A Noise Figure NF = 5.14 dB in SSB with preamplifier ON is
a good value.

hi, 
sorry I'm new

how exactly NF at Yaesu FT-847 transceiver for UHF 437,325 mhz ( 69 cm ) ?

Thank's
