Electromagnetic drift instabilities in the plasma of a field reversed configuration are considered with no assumption of adiabatic response of ions and/or electrons in the range of perpendicular wave number values from k┴ < 1/ρTi up to k┴ ~ 1/ρTe (ρTi and ρTe are ion and electron thermal gyroradi...
