Congratulations on the purchase of your Yaesu amateur transceiver! Whether this is your first rig, or if Yaesu equipment is already the backbone of your station, rest assured that your transceiver will provide many hours of operating pleasure for years to come.

The MARK-V

FT-1000MP

Field is an elite-class HF transceiver providing exceptional performance both on transmit and receive. The MARK-V

FT-1000MP

Field

is designed for the most competitive operating situations, whether you primarily operate in contest, DX, or digital-mode environments.

Built on the foundation of the popular MARK-V FT-

1000MP transceiver, the MARK-V

FT-1000MP

Field

provides up to 100 Watts of power output on SSB, CW, and FM (25 Watts AM carrier). Additionally, a Yaesuexclusive “Class-A” SSB operating mode provides ultra-linear signal output, at a power output level of up to 25 Watts.

Also new on the MARK-V

FT-1000MP

Field is the

IDBT (Interlocked Digital Bandwidth Tracking) System, which automatically aligns the bandwidth of the En- hanced Digital Signal Processing (EDSP) receiver passband to match the IF filter passband. This improves operating efficiency by removing the extra step of making separate analog and DSP filter adjustments. This feature can be enabled or disabled with the press of a button, for maximum flexibility.

And for exceptional protection from strong nearby incoming signals, Yaesu-exclusive VRF (Variable RF Front-End Filter) serves as a high-performance Preselector-ideal for multi-operator contest environments. This filter is manually tuned, allowing the operator to optimize sensitivity or signal rejection with the twist of a knob.

In addition to the contribution of the VRF Preselector, superb receiver performance is a result of direct lineage from the legendary FT-1000D and FT-1000MP. New technology Direct Digital Synthesizers (two 10-bit and three 8-bit) are used in the local oscillator (all driven by a single TCXO master oscillator), resulting in extremely fine tuning resolution with thirteen selectable tuning steps down to 0.625 Hz. You may select either “Flat” or “Tuned” front end RF amplification (using four FETs in a double push-pull, constant-gain stage), IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) utilizing direct feed to the first mixer, and/or three levels of RF attenuation in 6dB steps. The “Tuned” RF Preamplifier provides high gain and low noise figure on the higher frequency bands, with lower gain and greater selectivity on the low bands, where strong-signal performance is critically important.

To battle QRM, the MARK-V

FT-1000MP

comes equipped with a formidable defense. Fine tailoring of the IF passband is made possible with individually-selected, cascaded 2nd- and 3rd-IF crystal filter banks. World-renowned Collins® mechanical 500Hz CW filters are available as options for the Sub Receiver 2nd IF, and main receiver 3rd IF strip. An IF notch filter and concentric IF Shift and Width controls are also provided. The IF Width circuit allows continuously narrowing receiver passband by selectively moving either the upper or lower filter skirt just as much as needed to reduce QRM while still preserving the maximum usable bandwidth. This extensive analog IF filtering protects the EDSP circuits that follow it, ensuring unmatched performance during crowded band conditions.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Yaesu’s Enhanced Digital Signal Processing (EDSP) circuitry, pioneered in the FT-1000MP, provides a wide array of interference-rejection and signalcustomization features. On receive, three different signal “Contour” enhancements, in addition to narrowbandwidth peaking filters for CW and Data modes, help dig out weak signals from the noise. Combined with the EDSP Auto-Notch and Noise Reduction circuits, the IF analog filters and EDSP response Contours are without peer in the Amateur Radio industry for signal enhancement. On transmit, the EDSP Microphone Equalizer allows matching of the transmitter’s audio response to your voice’s pattern, thereby maximizing useful power output in the SSB envelope.

Advanced features include Dual Receive, Direct Keyboard Frequency Entry and Band Change, RF Speech Processor, RF Monitor for Voice modes, CW Pitch control, CW Spot switch, Full CW QSK, adjustable IF Noise Blanker, Synchronous Tuning for AM, and all-mode Squelch. And the Yaesu-exclusive Shuttle-Jog tuning ring provides a spring-loaded manual scanning tool, perfect for sweeping across a band as you take a quick look for activity.

Frequency setup is extraordinarily simple on the

MARK-V

entry for both the Main and Sub VFOs, separate keys are provided for band selection, and each band key accesses two independent VFO frequency/mode/filter settings per band, so you can establish separate VFO settings for two different parts of each band. The Sub VFO has its own banks of VFOs for each band, and you may copy frequencies from the Main to the Sub VFO, or swap frequencies between the two, with a single button push. The two VFOs allow simultaneous reception and display of two different frequencies, even in different modes and with different IF bandwidths. Receiver audio can be completely or partially mixed, or monitored separately in each ear.

each of which stores its own mode and IF filter selection, in addition to frequency, Clarifier offset, and scanskip status. What’s more, five quick-recall (“QMB”) memories can instantly store operational settings at the push of a button.

Typically, the ground connection consists of one or more copper-clad steel rods, driven into the ground. If multiple ground rods are used, they should be positioned in a “V” configuration, and bonded together at the apex of the “V” which is nearest the station location. Use a heavy, braided cable (such as the discarded shield from type RG-213 coaxial cable) and strong cable clamps to secure the braided cable(s) to the ground rods. Be sure to weatherproof the connections to ensure many years of reliable service. Use the same type of heavy, braided cable for the connections to the station ground bus (described below).

Inside the station, a common ground bus consisting of a copper pipe of at least 25 mm (1”) diameter should be used. An alternative station ground bus may consist of a wide copper plate (single-sided circuit board material is ideal) secured to the bottom of the operating desk. Grounding connections from individual devices such as transceivers, power supplies, and data communications devices (TNCs, etc.) should be made directly to the ground bus using a heavy, braided cable.

Do not make ground connections from one electrical device to another, and thence to the ground bus. This so-called “Daisy-Chain” grounding technique may nullify any attempt at effective radio frequency grounding. See the drawing below for examples of proper grounding techniques.

Inspect the ground system – inside the station as well as outside – on a regular basis so as to ensure maximum performance and safety.

Besides following the above guidelines carefully, note that household or industrial gas lines must never be used in an attempt to establish an electrical ground. Cold water pipes may, in some instances, help in the grounding effort, but gas lines represent a significant explosion hazard, and must never be used.

An effective earth ground system make take several forms; for a more complete discussion, see an appropriate RF engineering text. The information below is intended only as a guideline.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ELECTRICAL SHOCK PREVENTION

Be certain that all station wiring is properly insu-

lated so as to prevent short-circuits which could damage this transceiver and/or accessories connected to it. Be sure to protect power cables from damage due to abrasion by ensuring that they cannot be walked upon nor crushed under rolling chairs, etc. Never route power cables near sharp metallic edges which might cut through protective insulation.

Never spill liquids into this transceiver, and do not

drop sharp metallic objects into the transceiver enclosure. Electrical shock may result when you attempt to remove the object.

Unsupervised children should be kept away from

any electrical apparatus such as the MARK-V

ANTENNA P RECAUTIONS

Always install antennas such that they can never

come in contact with outdoor power lines in the event of a catastrophic antenna support or power line support structure failure. An adequate safety margin is usually provided by separating power lines from the antenna and its support structure [1.5 times the height of the support] plus [the length of any antenna or guy wires attached to the support] plus [the height of the power line support pole].

Ground the antenna support structure adequately,

so as to dissipate energy absorbed during a lightning strike. Install appropriate lightning arrestors in the antenna lead-in and rotator cable (if used) according to the arrestor’s instructions.

In the event of an approaching electrical storm, dis-

connect all antenna lead-in, rotator control, and power cables completely from the station, but only if the storm is not immediately in your area. Do not allow disconnected cables to touch the case of your MARK-

FT-1000MP

ning can easily jump from the cable to the circuitry of your transceiver via the case, causing irreparable damage. If a lightning storm is in progress in your immediate area, do not attempt to disconnect the cables, as you could be killed instantly should lightning strike your antenna, tower, or a nearby power line.

If a vertical antenna is used, be certain that humans

and/or pets or farm animals are kept away both from the radiating element (to prevent electrical shock and RF exposure danger) and the ground system (in the event of an electrical storm). The buried radials of a ground-mounted vertical antenna can carry lethal voltages outward from the center of the antenna in the event of a direct lightning strike.

RF FIELD EXPOSURE ADVISORY &

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

This transceiver is capable of power output in excess of 50 Watts, so customers in the United States may be required to demonstrate compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations concerning maximum permissible exposure to radio frequency energy. Compliance is based on the actual power output used, feedline loss, antenna type and height, and other factors which can only be evaluated as a system. Information regarding these regulations may be available from your Dealer, your local radio club, from the FCC directly (press releases and other information can be found on the FCC’s site on the World Wide Web at <http://www.fcc.gov>), or from the American Radio Relay League, Inc. (225 Main St., Newington CT 06111 or <http://www.arrl.org>).

Remember to re-evaluate your station’s compliance with these regulations during portable operations such as Field Day or special-event stations.

Regarding electromagnetic compatibility: if this transceiver is used with, or in the vicinity of, a computer or computer-driven accessories, you may need to experiment with grounding and/or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) suppression devices (such as ferrite cores) to minimize interference to your communications caused by energy from the computer. Computer-generated RFI is usually a result of inadequate shielding of the computer’s cabinet or I/O and peripheral connections. While computer equipment may “comply” with RF emission standards, this does not ensure that sensitive amateur radio receivers will not experience interference from the device!

Be certain to use only shielded cables for TNC-toTransceiver connections. You may need to install AC line filters on the power cord(s) of the suspected equipment, and decoupling ferrite toroidal chokes may be required on interconnecting patch/data cables. As a last resort, you can try installing additional shielding within the computer’s case, using appropriate conductive mesh or conductive shielding tape. Especially check “RF holes” where plastic is used for cabinet front panels.

For further information, consult amateur radio reference guides and publications relating to RFI suppression techniques.

Page 8 OPERATING MANUAL

GENERAL SETUP

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION

Inspect the transceiver upon opening the packing carton. Check that all controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Ensure the accessory fuses and plugs pictured on page 4 are included. If any damage is found, document it completely, and contact the shipping company (or dealer, if you purchased it over-the-counter) right away. Save the packing materials in case you need to return the set for service. If you have purchased optional internal accessories separately, install them as described on page 112.

POWER CONNECTIONS

Before connecting AC power, check the label on the rear panel which indicates the AC mains voltage for which your transceiver is currently set. If the voltage on this label does not match your AC mains voltage, a switch on the internal power supply in the transceiver must be moved, and the fuse must be changed (U.S.A. users only). See page 116 for more information and details.

After making certain the AC voltage for which the transceiver is set matches your mains voltage, and that the correct fuse is installed in the fuse holder, connect the supplied AC power cord between the 3-pin ~AC IN jack on the rear panel and the AC wall outlet.

TRANSCEIVER LOCATION

To assure long life of the components, a primary consideration in setting up the MARK-V Field is providing for adequate ventilation around the cabinet. The cooling system of the MARK-V Field must be free to draw cool air in at the lower rear of the transceiver, and to expel warm air out of the upper rear panel. Do not place the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device such as a linear amplifier, and do not place equipment, books or papers on top of the transceiver. Also, provide a few centimeters of space on either side of the transceiver, if possible. Avoid heating vents and window locations that could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates.

FT-1000MP

GROUNDING

For protection from electrical shock, and to ensure proper performance, connect the GND terminal on the rear panel to a good earth ground, using a heavy braided cable of the shortest length possible. All other station equipment should be connected to the same grounding cable, as close together as practical. If you use a computer with or near the MARK-V Field, you may need to experiment with ground wiring to suppress computer noise in the receiver, and ground loops during transmission.

FT-1000MP

The MARK-V ated from 13.8 Volts DC, negative ground, with any well-regulated DC source being capable of providing 22 Amperes of continuous current.

If you are connecting to a DC source, use the optional E-DC-20 DC Power Cable (with 25-A fuse). Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of the DC source, and the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–) terminal, then connect the DC plug from the E-DC-20 to the ...– DC IN jack on the rear panel.

Warning: Our warranty does not cover damage caused by improper supply voltage nor use of an improper fuse.

ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS

The MARK-V

with any antenna system providing a 50 W resistive impedance at the desired operating frequency. While minor excursions from the 50 W specification are of no consequence, the transceiver’s Automatic Antenna Tuner may not be able to reduce the impedance mismatch to an acceptable value if the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) present at the Antenna jack is greater than 3:1. Among the undesirable consequences that high SWR may produce are:

r The transceiver’s power amplifier protection circuitry

will reduce power if the Automatic Antenna Tuner is unsuccessful in reducing the SWR.

r Even if the Automatic Antenna Tuner successfully

normalizes the impedance presented to the radio, feedline losses will escalate rapidly with increasing SWR at the higher operating frequencies, especially 28 MHz.

r Although high SWR itself does not cause feedline

radiation, the sudden onset of high SWR may well indicate a mechanical failure in a matching device, leading to an electrical condition which may cause excessive feedline radiation, which can cause interference to nearby home-entertainment devices.

Every effort should, therefore, be made to ensure

that the impedance of the antenna system utilized with the MARK-V to the specified 50 W value.

Any antenna to be used with the MARK-V

1000MP

Field must, ultimately, be fed with 50 W co- axial cable. Therefore, when using a “balanced” antenna such as a dipole, remember that a balun or other matching/balancing device must be used so as to ensure proper antenna performance.

Turn the ring as far as it will go (about ¼-turn) to lock the extended foot in place. To retract an extended foot, turn the knurled ring counterclockwise ¼-turn while pressing on the center of the foot.

Use high-quality 50 W coaxial cable for the lead-in to your MARK-V

FT-1000MP

Field transceiver. All efforts at providing an efficient antenna system will be wasted if poor quality, lossy coaxial cable is used. Losses in coaxial lines increase as the frequency increases, so a coaxial line with only 0.5 dB of loss at 7 MHz may have 2 dB of loss at 28 MHz. For reference, the chart in the next column shows approximate loss figures for typically-available coaxial cables frequently used in amateur radio installations.

The memory BACKUP switch on the rear panel is turned on at the factory, allowing VFO and memory data to be retained while power is off. Backup current is miniscule, so it is not necessary to turn the BACKUP switch off unless the transceiver is to be stored for an extended period.

After five or more years of operation the transceiver may fail to retain memories, at which time the lithium

battery should be replaced. Contact your dealer for replacement of the battery; for instructions on how to do so yourself, see page 114.

If using an FL-7000, connect optional cable E-767 (P/N D4000019) from the transceiver BAND DATA jack to the amplifier ACC-2 jack. This provides automatic band selection for the linear, as well as QSK Tx/Rx switching control. Turn on the FL-7000 rear panel ATT switch to disable the 3 dB input RF power attenuator.

If using another manufacturer’s QSK linear, and if its switching circuitry consumes less than 150 mA of DC voltage below 40 V, you can connect the Tx/Rx switching line for the linear to pin 2 (“TX GND”) of the BAND DATA jack (use pin 3 for ground), and the linear’s exciter-enable output to pin 8 (“TX INHIBIT”) of the BAND DATA jack. This line must be switched to ground to enable transmission once the linear is ready for excitation from the MARK-V QSK linear sinks more than 100 mA or uses more than 15 V for T/R relay switching, you will have to provide a suitable external interface transistor, controlled by pin

OPERATION WITH NON-QSK AMPLIFIERS (FL-2100 SERIES OR OTHERS)

The TX GND jack on the transceiver rear panel is connected to an internal relay, for non-QSK T/R switching of linear amplifiers that use AC switching voltage, or DC voltage greater than +15 V, negative DC voltage of any kind (such as the Heath® SB-220/SB-221 models), or if they are required to sink more than 100 mA for T/R switching. A schematic diagram of the relay circuit is provided below. If not using your linear amplifier in a full break-in environment, the use of this relay for amplifier switching is highly recommended.

This relay comes disabled (rear-panel LIN set to “OFF”) to avoid the clicking sound when the transceiver is used alone or with a QSK linear. To enable the relay for non-QSK linears that exceed the above T/R switching requirements, you will need to move the LIN switch, located in the hole near the center of the rear panel, to its right position (see the drawing). Use a thin, insulated, sharp object to move the switch. Then connect the center contact of the TX GND jack to the positive relay-control line to your linear, and the outer contact to the “common” line or the linear’s chassis ground. Refer to the diagram at the next page; in this example, a older non-QSK amplifier (FL-2100B) is shown.

With the relay now enabled, the MARK-V

FT-1000MP

Field can support non-QSK linear T/R switching voltages up to 100 VAC @ 500 mA, or DC voltage up to 60 V @ 200 mA, or closed-circuit current up to 1 A with DC voltage up to 30 V.

The ALC control voltage range is 0 to –4 V DC, with the voltage going more negative as the amplifier’s drive requirements are approaching fulfillment.

The bandwidth and frequency response are not, however, suitable for 9600 baud operation.

Pin 2 (Ground) - Connect this to the shield(s) of

the cable(s) used for connections between the TNC and the MARK-V

Pin 3 (PTT) - Connect this pin to the PTT line from

the TNC. This pin, when grounded by the TNC, places the MARK-V dition.

Pin 4 (DATA Out) - Connect this pin to your TNC’s

“RX Audio” input line. This is a constant-level (100 mV rms @ 600 W) audio output line which is not affected

by the position of the front-panel

AF GAIN control.

For FSK operation using the RTTY jack, the fol-

lowing are the pin connections required:

Pin 1 (SHIFT) - Connect this pin to your TNC or

terminal unit’s “FSK Key” port. Closing and opening of this line to ground causes mark/space keying.

Pin 2 (RX AF OUT) - Same as “DATA OUT” on

PACKET jack.

Pin 3 (PTT) - Same as “PTT” on PACKET jack. Pin 4 (GND) - Same as “GND” on PACKET jack.

For operation on PSK31, connect your computer's sound card to the PACKET jack (for “PKT” mode operation) or the MIC and EXT SP jacks (for “SSB” mode operation). Also, use menu selection 8-6 to configure the “User” mode (see page 110) for PSK31 operation.

For most operation, you will want to use the PS31U (for PKT mode) or PS31-SU (for USB mode) options under “East Set;” while BPSK operation is not sideband-sensitive, QPSK operation, by convention, utilizes USB-side injection.

The “User” mode is accessed, during operation, by pressing and holding in for ½ second the [PKT] mode switch.

Pin 5 (BUSY) - This is a “Squelch Status” pin not

generally required for digital mode operation. This pin is held at +5V when the squelch is open, and is grounded when the receiver is muted by the squelch (“no-signal” condition).

CAUTION!!

The MARK-V designed to handle continuous duty transmission at 100 watts output. However, for continuous-duty digital modes like RTTY, we recommend limiting your transmissions to 3 minutes or less, with at least 3 minutes receive in between transmissions. Place your hand on the transceiver occasionally to ensure that it’s not getting too hot, and try to keep power output at 50 watts or less.

You can limit the maximum RF power output to 25 watts via programming, by recalling menu selection 4-0 and choosing reduced power output.

NOTE: COMPUTER-GENERATED RFI

When using a TNC connected to your transceiver, or even having a PC located in the shack, the possibility exists that you may experience computer-generated RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).

The CPU in a personal computer operates with a crystal-controlled oscillator (clock), which may generate harmonics or other spurious signals. In addition, high-speed digital data switching uses square waves, which produce odd-order harmonic frequencies.

Computer-generated RFI may appear at seemingly random frequencies (usually right where a rare DX station is calling CQ!) throughout the range of your transceiver, and may sound like constant ticking or buzzing that may change as you type or work within a program. Severe RFI may have S-meter indications as much greater than S-9, making copy of voice signals difficult and data signals virtually impossible.

Computer-generated RFI is usually a result of inadequate shielding of the PC’s cabinet or I/O and peripheral connections. While computer equipment may comply with RF emission approval standards, this does not ensure that sensitive amateur radio receivers will not experience RFI from the device.

There are a few steps you can take to reduce or eliminate computer-generated RFI. The first step is to ensure that only shielded cables are used for TNC-totransceiver connections, carefully check RF ground connections and re-orient your station equipment in relation to the computer. Try moving your PC and peripherals slightly and see if it has any affect on the RFI, in some cases, this alone may be enough to correct the problem.

If not, several additional steps to try include installing AC line filters on the power cord(s) of the suspected equipment and inserting decoupling ferrite toroidal chokes on interconnecting patch/data cables and smaller ferrite beads on single wires.

As a last resort, you can try installing additional shielding within the PC case, using appropriate conductive mesh/screening or conductive tape. Especially check RF “holes” where plastic is used for cabinet front panels. For further information, consult amateur radio reference guides and publications relating to RFI suppression techniques.

OTHER DIGITAL/RECORDING DEVICE

INTERFACING

AF OUT JACK

This is a 3.5 mm miniature stereo phone jack which provides constant-level (100 mV @ 600 W) for connection to a WeatherFax decoder, tape recorder, or other accessory. The audio output level is not affected by the setting of the front panel AF GAIN & SUB AF controls, so you can turn the volume down, if you like, without affecting the audio level being presented to your decoding device. The tip connection of this jack is Main receiver audio, while the ring connection is Sub receiver audio.

The connections to the AF OUT jack are at the same level as the connection to Pin 4 of the PACKET jack. However, the two output ports use independent output buffer amplifiers, so you can freely connect and disconnect devices to/from these ports without concern over the impedances and levels.

PTT (PUSH TO TALK) JACK

This RCA jack is wired in parallel with the front panel’s MIC jack, providing a handy connection point for a footswitch for voice operation, allowing handsfree PTT operation.

PATCH JACK

For transmit audio input for SSTV (Slow-Scan Television) operation, you may connect the SSTV terminal’s TX AUDIO line to the PATCH jack. You will need to dis- connect the microphone, however, during transmission, as the PATCH jack is connected in a “Y” configuration along with the microphone input (from pin 8 of the MIC jack).

CW KEY/PADDLE AND COMPUTER

KEYING INTERFACE SUGGESTIONS

FEATURES

The MARK-V features for the CW operator, the functions of which will be detailed in the “Operation” section later. Besides the built-in Electronic Keyer, two key jacks are provided, one each on the front and rear panels, for convenient connection to keying devices.

Both KEY jacks on the MARK-V utilize “positive” keying voltage. Key-up voltage is approximately +5V DC, and key-down current is approximately 0.5 mA. When connecting a key or other device to the KEY jacks, use only a 3-pin (“stereo”) ¼” phone plug; a 2-pin plug will place a short between the ring and (grounded) shaft of the plug, resulting in a constant “key-down” condition in some circumstances.

CONFIGURATION SUGGESTIONS

1. For everyday operation using the internal electronic

memory keyer, connect your paddle to the front

panel KEY jack, and activate the front panel [KEY

switch. If you wish to keep the keyer paddle’s cable

out of the way, connect the plug, instead, to the rear

panel KEY jack.

2. If two operators are using the MARK-V

Field simultaneously (for a contest, Field Day, etc.),

a second keyer paddle may be connected to the

rear panel KEY jack. With the front panel [KEYER

switch pressed in, both operators’ paddles will have

access to the internal keyer.

3. If two operators are using the MARK-V

Field simultaneously, but both wish to use a straight

key, outboard electronic keyer, or computer-driven

keying cables, the key plugs may be inserted into

the front and rear panel KEY jacks; now turn the

front panel’s [KEYER] switch off.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

The MARK-V nectors, plus innovative microprocessor-based memory and switching circuits, provide excellent flexibility in setting up your antenna connections.

Typical antenna configurations are shown below. Remember that Antenna A and Antenna B (which are “SO-239” or “M” connectors) may be used for transmission and reception, while the RX Antenna port (which is an “RCA” type connector) may only be used for reception.

NOTE REGARDING

LARGE RECEIVE ANTENNAS

Although surge suppression is provided on all antenna ports, you may wish to consider building a simple external circuit which will disconnect, on TX, any antenna connected to the RX ANT IN jack, particularly if you are using a very long wire antenna such as a Beverage. Very long antennas can build up very high RF and static voltages on them, and the circuit below may provide better protection for your receiver’s input circuitry.

MOX & VOX Buttons

[

MOX] may be used in place of a microphone PTT

switch or footswitch to activate the transmitter, when depressed. It must be in the undepressed position for reception.

[

VOX] enables automatic voice-actuated transmit-

ter switching in the SSB, AM and FM modes, and “semibreak-in” keying in CW mode. The controls affecting VOX operation are located in the top access panel. Menu Selection 7-5 sets the receiver recovery time during semi-break-in CW operation.

AGC Selector Knob

Selects main receiver Automatic Gain Control decay time for most comfortable reception, or disables receiver AGC (off). Normally this switch is set to the “AUTO” position. Strong signals will cause distortion if this selector is set to “OFF.”

PHONES Jack

A ¼-inch and 3.5 mm, 3-contact jack accept either monaural or stereo headphones with 2- or 3-contact plugs. When a plug is inserted, the loudspeaker is disabled. With stereo headphones such as the optional YH-77STA, you can monitor both receiver channels at the same time during dual reception. In this case, the headphone HP controls (page 32) beneath the top access panel adjust the default levels for mixed, separate, or monaural headphone operation.

KEY Jack

This ¼-inch, 3-contact jack accepts a CW key or keyer paddles (for the built-in electronic keyer), or output from an external electronic keyer. You cannot use a 2-contact plug in this jack (to do so produces a constant “key down” condition). Pinout is shown on page

4. Key up voltage is 5 V, and key down current is 0.5 mA. There is another jack with the same name, connected in parallel with this jack, on the rear panel.

MIC Jack

This 8-pin jack accepts input from the MH-31B8D Microphone. MIC connector pinout is shown on page

4. Proper microphone input impedance is 500 ~ 600 Ohms.

Page 22 OPERATING MANUAL

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

MIC PROC Knob

The inner MIC control adjusts the microphone input level for (non-processed) SSB and AM transmission.

The outer PROC control sets the compression (input) level of the transmitter RF speech processor in the SSB modes, when activated by the button with the same name.

RF PWR Knob

This control adjusts the transmitter’s output power in all modes. The adjustment range is from approximately 5 to 100 watts, except in the AM mode, where the permitted carrier level is about 5 to 25 watts. This knob also controls the carrier level for CW transmission. In setting the output power, the ALC function of the meter should always be monitored, to avoid overdriving the transmitter final amplifier.

In the “Class A” SSB operating mode, the adjustment range for power output will be between approximately 5 and 25 watts.

PROC Button

This button enables the RF speech processor for SSB transmission. Processing level is set by the outer control with the same name. While activated, the LED in this button glows red.

MONI Button

This orange button enables the transmit (RF) monitor in all modes (except CW, in which the monitor function is always on, to produce the sidetone). While activated, the LED in this button glows red.

SUB AF Knob

The SUB AF control adjusts the audio volume of the sub receiver VFO in the speaker or headphones.

The AF GAIN control, located above, and this SUB AF control can be rotated to adjust the relative balance of receiver audio between the two receiver channels during dual reception.

Menu selection 2-8 (AF GAin) allows the SUB AF control to be changed into a “Balance” control for the two audio channels, if desired. In this case, the AF GAIN control (see next column) will adjust the volume level for both the Main and Sub receivers, while the SUB AF control will control the balance. See page 101 for details.

SQL Knob

This control sets the signal level threshold at which main VFO-A receiver audio is muted (and the green “MAIN BUSY” display indicator turns off), in all modes. This control is normally kept fully counter-clockwise, except when scanning and during FM operation.

AF GAIN RF GAIN Knob

The inner AF GAIN control adjusts the audio volume of the main receiver VFO in the speaker or headphones.

The outer RF GAIN control adjusts the receiver signal level in front of the main receiver 1st mixer (via PIN diodes), and also the gain of the main receiver IF amplifiers.

It is normally set fully clockwise for maximum sensitivity. When rotated counter-clockwise, the S-meter minimum deflection point will move up the scale. The peak deflection for a particular signal will remain the same if it is greater than the level set by this control, but the main receiver will be less sensitive to weaker signals.

This control also affects the SQL setting for main VFO-A, and should be preset fully clockwise when setting the squelch threshold for the VFO or on a recalled memory.

METER Selector Switches

These switches determine the function of the multifunction meter during transmission. The meanings of the abbreviations are as follows:

IC/SWR - Final amplifier collector current

(Amps) and Standing Wave Ratio (forward: reflected).

ALC/COMP - Relative Automatic Level Control

voltage and RF speech compressor level (in dB, for SSB modes only).

VCC/MIC - Final amplifier collector voltage and

microphone gain input level.

The meter indicates power output and the selected parameter during transmission, and signal strength in S-units during reception (on the main receiver). Each S-unit is approximately 6 dB.

ATT Selector Knob

This knob inserts 6, 12, or 18 dB (1, 2, or 3 S-units) of attenuation before the mixer to suppress band noise and reduce the possibility of overload from very strong signals.

MONI Knob

When activated by the [MONI] button (above), the audio level of the transmit RF monitor during transmission (relative to the AF GAIN control) is adjusted by this control.

IPO Button

The Intercept Point Optimization button may be used to set optimum receiver front end characteristics for a strong environment. Selecting IPO bypasses the front end RF amplifier and feeds the received signals directly to the first mixer.

MAIN VFO-A Tuning Knob

This large knob adjusts the operating frequency of Main VFO-A (or a recalled memory). Default tuning increments are 10 Hz (100 Hz in AM and FM modes). When the [FAST] button has been pressed, the increments are 10x these sizes. See the table on page 38 for a listing of all available steps.

Shuttle Jog and VRF & IDBT Buttons

The Shuttle Jog ring allows fine or rapid frequency excursions with just a slight turn of your hand. Rotating the ring slightly either to the left or the right tunes downward or upward a few steps. The tuning rate increases the farther the ring is rotated.

Pressing the [VRF] button on the left side of the Shuttle Jog activates the VRF (Variable RF Front-end Filter), which adds a narrow input preselector filter into the RF receiver circuit on the 160-20 meter Amateur bands. Its passband can be tuned by rotating the VRF/ MEM CH knob, located on the upper right corner of the front panel, for maximum sensitivity and out-of-band interference rejection.

Pressing the [IDBT] button on the right side of the Shuttle Jog activates the IDBT (Interlocked Digital Bandwidth Tracking) System, which matches the EDSP (Bandwidth) filter characteristics to the settings of the SHIFT and WIDTH knobs. Thus, it is not necessary to re-adjust the EDSP settings if you change the (IF) WIDTH and/or SHIFT settings; the EDSP settings will automatically follow those of the higher-frequency IF passband.

LOCK Button

This button toggles locking of the main tuning knob to prevent accidental frequency changes. “LOCK” is displayed in a red box below and to the left of the main frequency display field when this command is active (the tuning knob can still be turned, but it does nothing). Press [LOCK] again to enable the tuning knob.

AF REV Button

Pressing this reverses the main/sub receiver audio adjusted using the AF GAIN knob and SUB AF knob. When activated, the LED inside this button glows red.

This knob adjusts the Sub VFO-B operating frequency. The available tuning increments are the same as described for the main tuning knob, although each tuning knob’s increments may be set independently (see page 38).

[

LOCK] Button

This button toggles locking of SUB VFO-B tuning to prevent accidental frequency changes. The red indicator in the display glows when this command is active (the tuning knob can still be turned, but it does nothing). Press the [LOCK] button again to re-enable the tuning knob.

BAND (Keypad

The keypad provides one-touch band selection, or direct frequency entry. Normally, pressing one of the ten white numbered keys selects the corresponding (MHz) amateur band for operation (pressing the SUB button first, followed by a [BAND] key, selects that band for the Sub VFO). If you press the white numbered key for the band you are already on, you will select the alternate subband VFO on that band. See the “Opera- tion” chapter for details.

If the [ENT] key is pressed first, the yellow labels on the keys become effective, for manually entering any frequency one digit at a time; press [SUB(CE then [ENT] to enter Sub-VFO frequencies directly.

)

SUB SQL Knob

This separate control sets the signal level threshold at which SUB VFO-B receiver audio is muted (and the green “SUB BUSY” display indicator turns off), in all modes. This control is normally kept fully CCW, except when scanning and during FM operation.

CW and Electronic Keyer Controls

[

SPOT] button turns the CW receiver spotting het-

erodyne oscillator on and off.

[

BK-IN] button turns full break-in (QSK) CW op-

eration on and off.

[

KEYER] button toggles the internal CW keyer on/

off, as indicated by the LED above this button.

[

CLAR] Buttons

Pressing the [RX] button activates the CLAR knob, to allow offsetting the receiving frequency temporarily (see item below). The [TX] button provides the same function for the transmit frequency. If both buttons are pressed, the receiver and transmitter are both offset from the original frequency. Pressing the [CLEAR] button zeroes any offset tuned by the CLAR knob. Each memory and VFO retains all Clarifier settings independently.

SHIFT Knob

This knob offsets the center frequency of the IF passband when rotated from its “normal” (center) position. This control functions in all modes except FM.

When the IDBT System is activated by pressing the [IDBT] button on the Shuttle Jog, the EDSP (Bandpass) filter’s passband offset changes according to this knob’s setting.

IDBT Indicator

This red indicator lights up when the IDBT System is activated by pressing the [IDBT] button on the Shuttle Jog. When this indicator is illuminated, the EDSP (Bandpass) filter’s bandwidth and center frequency change according to the SHIFT and WIDTH knob settings.

)]

WIDTH Knob

This knob, when turned from center, reduces the overall IF bandwidth from either the lower or upper side, from the maximum selected by the [BANDWIDTH] buttons.

When the IDBT feature is activated by pressing the [IDBT] button on the Shuttle Jog, the EDSP (Bandpass) filter’s passband width is reduced according to this knob’s setting.

CLAR Knob

This knob tunes the Clarifier offset frequency up to

9.99 kHz when activated by the CLAR [RX] [TX] buttons just below it (a 3-digit display appears in the center of the display (if enabled) when the Clarifier is active).

[

SPEED] knob adjusts the keying speed of the

keyer.

PITCH Knob

Rotate this control to select your desired CW tone pitch (from 300~1050 Hz, in 50 Hz increments), as shown in the display. The Tx sidetone, receiver IF passband, and display offset from the BFO (carrier) frequency are all affected simultaneously.

NOTCH Knob

This knob adjusts the IF notch frequency when this feature is activated by the [NOTCH] button located above this knob. When activated, the LED inside the [

NOTCH] button glows red.

Note that the setting of menu selection 2-9 may dis-

able the action of this knob (if menu selection 2-9 is set

to Auto DSP). With this selection, the EDSP Automatic Notch will be activated, and the IF Notch will be disabled.

TUNER] Button

This is the on/off switch for the MARK-V

FT-1000MP

Field’s Automatic Antenna Tuner.

Pressing this button momentarily places the antenna tuner in line between the transmitter final amplifier and the main antenna jack. Reception is not affected.

Pressing and holding this button for ½ second while receiving in an amateur band activates the transmitter for a few seconds while the automatic antenna tuner rematches the antenna system impedance for minimum SWR. The resulting settings are automatically stored in one of the antenna tuner’s 39 memories, for instant automatic recall later when the receiver is tuned near the same frequency.

detended knob to tune the passband of the narrow input preselector filter manually for maximum receiver sensitivity (and out-of-band interference rejection).

knob selects the operating memory channel when the memories are active (but not retuned). When the VFO or memory tune functions of the main display are active, turning this knob causes the Sub VFO display to temporarily show the frequencies of the memories (memory check), without otherwise affecting operation. The channel number of the selected memory is displayed at all times at the center right of the display (in front of “CH”).

ables the “VFO Step” feature, which allows “channellizing” the VFO for quick frequency navigation. Menu Selection 1-5 sets the VFO Channel step size.
