PEP2000

This procedure is used to update Main CPU Ver. 0152 and EDSP Ver. 11.54 the
flash programming for the FT-2000/D Transceivers.

We recommend installing the Flash Programming Software on a PC computer with Windows 2000,
XP or Vista Operating System; and use the CT-119 programming cable or 8-pin mini-DIN PGM-SW
(P0091526) and serial cable RS-232C, DB9F to DB9F straight cable.

NOTE: There are many USB adapters available; however some may not function with this software.
We recommend using the latest USB adapter driver software when available.

The update software is available from our website at http://www.yaesu.com. The CT-119
programming cable is available from your authorized Vertex Standard dealer. You may also order
by email to Vertex Standard parts department, [e-mail]

If the CT-119 programming cable or is not available you will need a RS-232C, DB9F to DB9F
straight cable and 8pin mini-DIN PGM-SW (P0091526). If the DIN PGM-SW is not available you
will need to operate the internal program switch S3004. Please follow the instructio n s in
ADDENDUM: Page 7 and 9.
