PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

When turning on the transceiver for the first time, please set the local time as soon as possible. If this is not done, the various functions of the World Clock and Great Circle Map will not function correctly.

Note: If you wish to add a city to the City List that was programmed at the factory, you will need to supply your own USB or PS/2 Keyboard. If you utilize one of the pre-loaded cities, a keyboard is not necessary.

You may also set up the local time for other locations, without a keyboard, using the cities that have been pre-loaded at the factory.

Please note that there are four power switches that must be turned on in order for the operation. They are (1) main power switch of the transceiver, (2) actual power switch of the transceiver, (3) main power switch of the Data Management Unit, and (4) actual power switch of the Data Management Unit. This Data Management Unit must be turned on before pressing the power switch on the front panel of the transceiver.

1. TURNING THE TRANSCEIVER ON

 To turn the transceiver on, first press the

main [POWER] switch (so that the “I” side is pressed downward). In the FT- 2000 (100 W version), the main [POWER] switch is on the right side of the rear panel. For the FT-2000D (200 W version), the Main [POWER] switch is located on the front panel of the FP-2000.

HOW TO USE THE WORLD CLOCK

ABOUT THE WORLD CLOCK

The World Clock displays the time in various countries, and the day/night areas are also indicated on the map, including the Grey Line near the terminator. The difference between the daylight areas in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres is displayed correctly, and is updated in real time. For DX hunting, this can be a very important and convenient tool for specific long distance HF QSOs, for example, as you can target the time the other station might have access to, say, the 80-meter band, enabling you to complete a QSO. In addition, an alarm is provided which beeps with respect to a designated area at a designated time, and the auto-off timer can also be matched to any desired area you stipulate.

Note: When you turn on the Data Management Unit for the first time after your purchasing, please set the Local Time (the place where you operate this radio), and confirm this setting. If this is not done, the various functions of the World Clock and Great Circle Map will not function correctly. Regarding the setting of the Local Time, please see the “PLEASE READ THIS FIRST” information.

LOG BOOK FUNCTION

LOG BOOK DATA INPUT

Log data may be entered by the user. Depending on the user setup (CONFIG) for “LOGGING TYPE,” there are two logging modes: In the “CONTEST” mode, the operator just enters the callsign, signal report, and the REM (“remarks”) fields, and the Date/Time/Band/Mode are all entered automatically. In the “NORMAL” mode, additional information may be entered, such as the Country, City, and Name. Up to 500 stations may store into a file.

Please enter the log data in accordance with the example in the illustration.

Advice: Before you start logging, we recommend that you perform the CONFIG SETTING MODE procedure within the User setup (CONFIG) protocol.

1. Referring to the Figure  on page 31, use your key- board to enter the callsign in the “CALL” field. Now press the keyboard’s [ENTER] key.

2. The callsign will be checked against the previous entries to see if it is a duplicate; if so, the “CALLSIGN REPETITION CHECKLIST” will open, listing this and any other duplicates. During the QSO, if you wish to delete the callsign and other information for this line, just press the keyboard’s [ESC] key.

3. Enter all desired data in accordance with the example in the picture. When finished, press the keyboard’s [

ENTER] key.

Note: In order to ensure preservation of log data, be sure to Save the data frequently. It is always a good idea to maintain a paper archive copy of log data. Vertex Standard specifically disclaims responsibility for any liability arising from the loss of log data.

Advice: When entering the Zone via the “ITUZR” field, pressing the key-board’s [ENTER] key will move you to the CQ Zone (CQZR); from there, use the key-board’s []

The drain voltage of the final FETs is measured and displayed here. In the FT-2000 (100 W version), the measurement range is 0 ~ 18 V, and the proper voltage is around

13.8 V. On TX, if around 13.8 V is displayed, the transceiver is operating normally. In the FT-2000D (200 W version), the measurement range is 0 ~ 60 V, and the proper voltage is around 50 V. On TX, if around 50 V is displayed, the transceiver is operating normally.

BIAS



While operating with the Class-A on the FT-2000D (200 W version), and the bias is changed via the Menu item “141 tGEN BIAS” from Class-A to Class-AB, this indication can be used to observe the current setting. The indication is 0 ~ 100 % and “0 %” means Class-AB, while “100 %” means Class-A. Even if the Bias is varied, the RF output will not change (up to the 75 Watts of maximum power under Class-A), and you can change the bias safely even when you are using a linear amplifier. In the FT-2000 (100 W version), this indicator always shows “0 %.”

TEMP



This indicates the temperature (measured) of the final amplifier FETs’ heat sink. The measured temperature range of this meter is 0 ~ 100 °C, and above 80 °C is the “Red Zone” temperature range to be avoided, so as to ensure a safe operating temperature range. When the temperature rises above 80 °C, the fan speed will increase by a factor of four, providing a significant increase in air flow. The heat sink temperature may rise appreciably during Class-A operation on the FT-2000D (200 W ver- sion), especially if the ambient temperature is warm, and we recommend that you monitor the temperature during Class-A transmission, adjusting the Bias control downward (more toward Class-AB) if excessive heating is observed. A lower bias level will cause less heat to be dissipated, thus reducing the heat sink temperature.

TEMPERATURE / SWR INDICATION

SWEPT SWR DISPLAY

It is possible to show the SWR characteristics and antenna performance on a graph by measuring the SWR at various points across an amateur band.

In order to measure the SWR of the antenna system correctly, please turn off the antenna tuner before measuring the SWR.

1. Please confirm that the RF output is over 10 Watts. In order to measure the SWR correctly, 10 Watts of RF output will be required. The TX RF output may be adjusted using the [RF PWR] knob.

2. Please confirm that the test transmission will not cause QRM to other stations (be sure to ask if the frequency is clear, and identify in accordance with regulations). Then press the [F6(SWR CK)] key.

3. Perform the above procedure several times across the band, and the SWR measured at the various test frequencies will automatically be plotted on the chart, creating a performance characteristic graph for the current frequency range.

Advice: For the purposes of plotting the SWR across the band, the resolution of the graph is every 10 kHz on the

1.8 ~ 24 .9 MHz bands, and 100 kHz on the 28/50 MHz bands.

If a measurement is done on the same frequency as where a previous measurement was made, the old data will cleared and the new measurement data will replace it.

Always observe proper operating courtesy to others, and check to be sure the frequency is clear before performing any SWR measurements.

USING THE MARKER ON THE SWR GRAPH

It is possible to read the measured SWR value by placing the marker onto the desired frequency (measurement test point) of the SWR graph.

1. Press the [F2(MARKER)] key to turn the marker func- tion on; the marker cursor will be displayed.

2. Use the [F3()] and [F4()] keys to move the marker line and select the desired frequency for which you want to read the previously-measured SWR.

Advice: Please use an antenna with the SWR below 1.5:1. If the SWR is over 1.5:1, the final protection circuit activates, and the RF output power may be reduced.

If the SWR is over 3.0 in the amateur band, there is a possibility that the coaxial cable or the antenna itself (antenna system) may have some problem. Please take the necessary corrective action so as to ensure optimum, safe performance in your station.

The antenna tuner in the radio can match the SWR between the transceiver and the antenna; however, keep in mind that this is not affecting the SWR at the antenna feedpoint itself. In cases of higher-than-desirable SWR, we recommend corrective action be taken at the antenna itself.

When you want to clear the measured SWR value at the marker test point, press the [F2(MARKER)] key.
