FTDX9000 TFT OPERATION MANUAL

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 PS2 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 preloaded at the factory.

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

1. Powering Up the Transceiver

 On the rear panel, move the Power switch to the

“

I” position to apply power from the power supply.

The transceiver will not turn on yet, but power will now be supplied to the OCXO.

 Hold in the front panel POWER switch to turn the

transceiver on.

Note: The opening screen will appear on the TFT display, and the self-check function of the CPU inside the radio will begin. Then, the μ-Tuning circuitry will receive the data from the CPU, and it will perform its own self-check, and will preset itself to the proper settings for the current operating frequency.

While the μ-Tuning circuitry is obtaining the data, the drive mechanism will move from one end of its range to the other end (fast), and this will cause a temporary “motor” noise that can be heard; this, does not represent any trouble or problem.

When the radio is turned on for the first time, it takes about 50 seconds (from turning the radio on to completing the self- check) until the radio becomes ready to use; however, from the next time you turn it on, it will take around 10 seconds until the transceiver is ready for full operation.

2. Local Time-1 Setup

 On the TFT, there should be a World Map dis-

played; if the World Map does not appear, find the [

DISP](Display) key below and to the right of the

TFT; press this key as many times as required to get the World Map to display on the TFT.

 Below the TFT, press the [F1](SET) key; the TFT

should now show LOCAL TIME -1; this setting has been pre-set for Japanese time at the factory.

3. Changing the Location

(1)

Using the World Map

 To set the (highlighted) “ZONE,” press the

[F7](

SELECT) key to engage setting of the desired

Time Zone. Use the [F1](T) ~ [F4](X) keys to choose the Time Zone, then press the [F7](

SELECT) key once more.

 The name of the country associated with the high-

lighted Time Zone may now be selected using the [F1](T)

 You may now choose one of the cities displayed

in the same way. When you have made your choice, press the [F7](SELECT) key.

 Press and hold in the [F7](SELECT) key for 2 sec-

onds to exit. You’ll get a double beep, and now the new city is displayed on the world map.

Advice: Depending on the country, there may be only one city (or no cities) listed. In these instances, to modify the setting, please first select the city name on the list, even if you do not see the city you want on the list; you may modify the city name later.

ABOUT THE WORLD CLOCK

HOW TO USE THE WORLD CLOCK

The World Clock displays the time in various coun-

tries, 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 hunt-

ing, 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

Advice: When the OFF timer is engaged (power is shut off), the condition of the radio is the same as if the power switch on the front panel has been turned off. The Main power (circuit breaker) is not turned off. Therefore, power to the OCXO will be Maintained, retaining the high frequency stability.

The Alarm will ring for around 60 seconds. If you want to stop the alarm, press any of the keys located on the front panel.

ABOUT THE SPECTRUM SCOPE

SPECTRUM SCOPE

This page displays the Spectrum Scope which is convenient for monitoring band activity.

The entire screen will become the spectrum display, and you can see both strong and weak signals clearly and easily. Not only the Main (VFO-A) is shown, but the spectrum of the Sub (VFO-B) side can be also switched in and displayed simultaneously.

Besides simultaneous display of the Main (VFO-A) and Sub (VFO-B) spectra, the LBWS function allow you to realize very high-speed signal detection over a limited band segment. The CTR mode let you monitor close by your current frequency (your frequency is located at the center of the screen), and the FIX mode can also be engaged, whereby the left edge frequency is fixed. These features have been carefully considered for their utility in actual Amateur Ra-

dio operation.

If the Spectrum Scope is not currently displayed, press the [DISP](DISPLAY) key momentarily as many times as needed to bring up the Spectrum Scope display screen.

Advice: The Spectrum Scope function of the FTDX9000 is a very intelligent capability, and it includes a wide array functions; if you lose your way during operation of this function, press the [DISP](DISPLAY) key momentarily to change the screen, and then return again to the Spectrum Scope screen.
