USING THE VRF (VARIABLE RF FRONT-END FILTER

The VRF system is a high-performance RF front-end preselector that has high Q factor and low insertion loss. VRF provides outstanding rejection of out-of-band signals, and can significantly improve reception in tough co-location operations such as a contest or DX-pedition. The FT-2000D’s VRF system affects the 1.8 - 28 MHz amateur bands only.

1. Press the [VRF] button momentarily. The “ ” icon will appear at the FLT column of the Receiver Configuration Indicator on the display, and the VRF system will be engaged, centered on your current Amateur band.

2. You may rotate the [VRF] knob to skew the position of the VRF system relative to your operating frequency. Because the VRF system is relatively broad, although still much narrower than the fixed bandpass filter), you may not hear much difference in the background noise or signal quality when you make minor adjustments. However, if you have receiving problems associated by a very strong signal, rotation of the [VRF] knob may help reduce the strength of the interfering station, allowing improved reception of the desired signal if overload was degrading reception.

ADVICE :

 You may observe the

relative skew of the VRF system in the Tuning Offset Indicator on the display while turning the [VRF] knob.

 After moving the passband of the VRF system

manually, you may re-center it on the current Amateur band by pressing and holding in the [VRF button for two seconds.

3. To switch VRF off, press the [VRF] button until the “ ” icon shows “ ” in the FLT column of the Receiver Configuration Indicator on the display; this confirms that the VRF circuit has been removed from the incoming received signal path.

ADVIC E:

 The VRF filter affects both the Main (VFO-A) and Sub

(VFO-B) bands.

 The VRF Filter operational status will be memorized

independently on each VFO in the VFO stack.

QUICK POINT:

The VRF filter, utilizing high-quality coils and capacitors that provide high Q, yields a passband that is approximately

]

20% to 30% the width of a traditional, fixed bandpass filter. As a result, significantly more “unwanted” signal rejection is provided. Within each Amateur band, the following adjustment steps are provided, if you wish to skew the response in a particular direction so as to enhance interference rejection even more. The actual “sound” of the signal you are listening to will remain unchanged, however.

R.FLT (ROOFING FILTERS

Narrow-band Roofing Filters of 15 kHz, 6 kHz, and 3 kHz bandwidths are provided in the first IF, right after the first mixer. These filters provide protection fort the 2nd mixer, DSP, and other circuitry that follow and can dramatically improve reception on a very crowded band (during a contest, etc.). Typically, the AUTO selection mode is satisfactory for most operating situations, but in an extremely crowded phone band you may wish to select, for example, the 3 kHz roofing filter for SSB operation.

Press the [R.FLT] button to toggle the Roofing Filter selection.

AUTO 15 kHz 6 kHz  3 kHz AUTO

ADVICE :

 The Roofing filter selection affects the Main band

(VFO-A) only. The Sub band’s (VFO-B) Roofing filter is fixed at a bandwidth of 15 kHz.

 As you repeatedly press the [R.FLT] button, you will

observe changes in the notation in the R.FLT column of the Receiver Configuration Indicator on the display, denoting the Roofing Filter currently in use.

 Typically, this selection will be set to “AUTO.”  The Roofing Filter selection will be memorized inde-

pendently on each VFO in the VFO stack.

QUICK POINT:

 The “AUTO” selection of the Roofing Filter is based

on the operating mode. However, you may override the automatic selection, if band conditions warrant a different (usually, a tighter) selection.

 The AUTO mode Roofing Filter selections are shown

below:

AM/FM/FM-PKT: 15 kHz LSB/USB/PKT: 6 kHz CW/RTTY: 3 kHz

 When the Roofing filter mode is set to “AUTO” and

the Noise Blanker is turned On, the Roofing Filter bandwidth will automatically be set to 15 kHz, as this setting provides the most effective noise blanking. However, you still may override the automatic setting, and select a more narrow Roofing Filter. Noise blanking may be compromised, however, with a tighter Roofing Filter in the line.

TERMINOLOGY:

A “Roofing Filter,” as its name implies, places a “Roof” over the receiver’s IF system bandwidth. This “Roof” protects the circuitry downstream from the first mixer from interference, just as a roof on a house protects the contents from rain and snow.

CONTOUR CONTROL OPERATION

The Contour filtering system provides a gentle perturbation of the IF filter passband, so as to suppress or enhance certain frequency components, thus enhancing the sound and/or readability of a received signal.

[

1. Press the [CONTOUR] button. The Contour notation will appear in the display to confirm that the Contour filter is engaged.

2. Rotate the [CONTOUR] knob to achieve the most natural-sounding audio reproduction on the incoming signal.

3. To cancel Contour tuning, press the [CONTOUR] button once more.

ADVICE :

 The Contour filter affects the Main band (VFO-A) only.  You may observe the graphically-depicted peak posi-

tion of the CONTOUR Filter in the CONTOUR indicator on the display.

 The bandwidth over which the Contour filter effect is

applied may be adjusted using Menu item “091 rdSP CNTR WI.” The factory default setting is “10.”

 When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit

is connected, the Audio Scope (on the “Oscilloscope” page) is particularly useful when adjusting the Contour control. Not only can you see the effect of the null/peak of the Contour system, but you also can see the position of the null/peak with respect to frequency components of interest on the incoming signal. You may then observe (on the Audio Scope) the effect of the Contour control while listening to the effect on the signal, and this will help build your intuition on how best to use Contour tuning in the future.

With reference to Figure “B,” note the initial posi- tion (12 o’clock) of the [CONTOUR] knob when the [CONTOUR] button is pushed. You may observe the “indentation” in the receiver passband where the Contour filter is placing a low-Q “notch” (per the setting of Menu item “090,” referenced above). Counter-clockwise rotation (to the left) of the [CONTOUR] knob causes the indentation to move towered a lower frequency within the passband, while clockwise rotation (to the right) causes the indentation to move toward a higher frequency within the passband. By removing interference or unwanted frequency components on the incoming signal, it is possible to make the desired signal rise out of the background noise/interference, enhancing intelligibility.

QUICK POINT:

The steep slopes of the DSP filtering can, when adjusted aggressively, impart an unnatural sound to an incoming signal. Oftentimes, though, a narrow bandwidth is not the key to improving copy; the incoming signal itself may have undesirable or excessive frequency components, especially in the low-frequency range around 100-400 Hz. By judicious use of the Contour filter, the “shoulder” of the passband response may be altered, or components removed from within the passband, allowing the desired signal to rise above the background noise and interference in a manner not obtainable with other filtering systems.

IF SHIFT OPERATION

IF Shift allows you to vary the DSP filter passband higher or lower, without changing the pitch of the incoming signal, so as to reduce or eliminate interference. Because the carrier tuning frequency is not varied, there is no need to re-tune the operating frequency when eliminating the interference. The total passband tuning range for the IF Shift system is ±1 kHz.

Rotate the [SHIFT] knob to the left or right to reduce the interference.

ADVICE :

 The [SHIFT] knob affects the Main band (VFO-A)

only. However, you may shift the Sub band (VFO-B) filter passband via Menu items “042 S-iF LSB SET” through “049 S-iF PKT-USB.”

 The position of the passband set by the IF Shift can be

observed on the display.

Referring to Figure “A,” note the depiction of the IF DSP filter as the thick line, with the [SHIFT knob in the 12 o’clock position. In Figure “B,” an interfering signal has appeared inside the original passband. In Figure “C,” you can see the effect of rotating the [SHIFT] knob so as to reduce the interference level by moving the filter passband so that the interference is outside of the passband.

WIDTH (IF DSP BANDWIDTH) TUNING

The IF Width tuning system allows you to vary the width of the DSP IF passband, so as to eliminate interference. Moreover, the bandwidth may actually be expanded from its default setting, should you wish to enhance incoming signal fidelity when interference on the band is low.

Rotate the [WIDTH] knob to adjust the bandwidth. Counter-clockwise rotation reduces the bandwidth, while clockwise rotation increases the bandwidth.

ADVICE :

 The IF Width affects the Main band (VFO-A) only.  The bandwidth of the IF can be observed on the dis-

play.

CAUTION:

When rotating the [WIDTH] control fully counter-clockwise, the transition between 50 Hz and 25 Hz bandwidth may be accompanied by a “ping” sound, depending on the amount of noise present. This is a normal condition, and you should turn down the volume, when wearing headphones, to minimize the amplitude of this momentary sound.

Referring to Figure B, you can see the default bandwidth with the [WIDTH] knob set to the 12 o’clock position.

By rotating the [WIDTH] knob to the left, the bandwidth will narrow (see Figure “A”), while rotation of the [WIDTH] knob to the right, as depicted in Figure “C,” will widen the bandwidth.

Using IF Shift and Width Together

The IF Shift and Variable IF Width features together form a very effective interference-fighting filtering system.

For example, in Figure “A” you can see how interference has appeared both on the high and low sides of the desired signal. By rotating the [WIDTH knob, as shown in Figure “B,” the interference from one side can be eliminated, and by re-positioning the [SHIFT] knob (Figure “C”), the interference on the opposite side can be removed, without reintroducing the interference previously eliminated in Figure “B.”

IF NOTCH FILTER OPERATION

The IF Notch filter is a highly-effective system that allows you to slice out an interfering beat note or other carrier signal from inside the receiver passband.

1. Press the [NOTCH] button. The Notch characteristic will appear in the display to confirm that the Notch filter is engaged.

2. Initially, rough adjustment of the center frequency of the IF Notch Filter is adjusted using the outer [

COARSE] knob; thereafter, fine tuning of the Notch

frequency is adjusted using the inner [FINE] knob.

3. To switch the IF Notch filter off, press the [NOTCH button once more. The Notch notation will turn off, confirming that the IF Notch filter is no longer operating.

ADVICE :

 The IF Notch filter affects the Main band (VFO-A)

only.

 You may observe the graphically-depicted peak (maxi-

mum null) position of the IF Notch Filter in the NOTCH indicator on the display.

 The width of the IF Notch null may be adjusted using

Menu item “092 rdSP NOTCH W.” Both “Wide” and “Narrow” selections are available, with “Narrow” providing the least disruption of the “desired” signal.

 When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit

is connected, the effect of the IF Notch filter may be observed on the Audio Scope (on the “Oscilloscope” page). The Notch will be observed as a “dip” in the noise platform observed. What’s more, the “Waterfall” display may be used to observe the effect of the IF Notch filter, which will appear as a white area in the colored background area. The tuning rate for the IF Notch is somewhat slow while you adjust the [FINE knob, so the use of the Waterfall display to confirm proper adjustment is highly recommended.

ADVIC E:

If the AGC receiver-recovery time is set to “Off” by pressing and holding in the [AGC] button, the S-meter will no longer deflect. Additionally, you will likely encounter distortion on stronger signals, as the IF amplifiers and the following stages are probably being overloaded.

QUICK POINT

Several aspects of AGC performance may be configured via the Menu. However, because AGC can have such a profound impact on overall receiver performance, we generally do not recommend any changes to the AGC Menu selections until you are thoroughly familiar with the performance of the FT-2000D.

TERMINOLOGY:

Automatic Gain Control, or AGC, is a circuit that senses the incoming signal strength, and then limits the gains of the RF and IF stages so as to keep the output audio volume at a more-or-less constant level. AGC also protects the RF, IF, Audio, and DSP stages from overload, as it limits the signal strength that is allowed to flow, irrespective of the input signal level.

SLOPED AGC Operation

In traditional AGC systems, the audio output from the transceiver becomes essentially fixed once the threshold for AGC action is reached (usually several dozen dB above the no-signal noise floor). The FT-2000D, however, includes an innovative Sloped AGC system on the Main band (VFO-A) receiver, that allows the audio volume to rise and fall slightly according to signal strength. Although the rise/fall slope is not dramatic, it is sufficient to allow you to use your ear to discern and separate signals according to signal strength, not just audio frequency.

Using Sloped AGC

1. Press the [MENU] button momentarily to enter the Menu mode.

2. Use the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “088 rout AGC SLP.”

3. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to change the setting to “SLP.”

]

switch to the “ALC” position, close the PTT switch, speak into the microphone in a normal voice level, and adjust the [MIC] (gain) knob so that the ALC voltage (displayed on the right meter) stays within the ALC zone of the meter (up to 2/3 of full scale deflection) on voice peaks.

ADVIC E:

The microphone gain of the AM mode has been programmed, at the factory, to a level that should be satisfactory for most situations. However, using Menu item “050 A3E MICGAIN,” you may set a different fixed value, or choose the “Ur” option, which then lets you use the front panel [MIC] knob to set the microphone gain in the AM mode. In this case, the [MIC] knob should not be advanced to the point where the ALC meter deflects. In many cases, the same setting as used on SSB will be satisfactory.

5. Release the PTT switch at the end of your transmission. The transceiver will return to the receive mode.

SSB/AM MODE TRANSMISSION

ADVICE :

 ALC meter deflection may be caused by excessive drive

power, but also by reflected power detected in the antenna system. If the impedance presented to the transceiver is different from 50 Ohms, ALC meter action may be observed that is not related to the proper setting of the [MIC] (gain) knob. Therefore, we recommend that you make [MIC] knob adjustments into a dummy load or antenna system presenting an impedance very close to 50 Ohms.

 Rotate the [RF PWR] knob to set the desired power

output. Clockwise rotation of the [RF PWR] knob will increase the power. The adjustment range is between 10 Watts and 200 Watts, and you should always use the minimum power necessary for maintaining reliable communications.

 When performing tests (such as the setup of the [MIC

or [RF PWR] knobs), be sure to check the frequency before transmitting, so as to avoid interference to others who may already be using the frequency.

 Four techniques for exercising Transmit/Receive con-

trol are provided on the FT-2000D, and you may choose the technique(s) that best suit your operating needs:  Pressing the microphone’s PTT switch will engage

the transmitter.

 The rear panel PTT jack may be connected to a

foot switch or other manual switching device in order to engage the transmitter.

 Pressing the front panel [MOX] button will lock

the transmitter on. Press the [MOX] button again to return to receive.

 The VOX (Voice Operated Xmit) circuit will en-

gage the transmitter automatically when you speak into the microphone. For details of VOX operation, see page 78.

USING THE AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER

The Automatic Antenna Tuner (hereinafter referred to as the “ATU”) built into each FT-2000D is crafted to ensure a 50Ohm load for the final amplifier stage of the transmitter. We recommend that the ATU be used whenever you operate on the FT-2000D.

ADVICE :

 The ATU of the FT-2000D, being located inside the station, only adjusts the impedance presented to the transceiver at

the station end of your coaxial cable feedline. It does not “tune” the SWR at the antenna feedpoint itself. When designing and building your antenna system, we recommend that every effort be made to ensure a low SWR at the antenna feedpoint.

 The ATU of the FT-2000D includes 100 memories for tuning data. Eleven of these memories are allocated, one per

Amateur band, so that each band has at least one setting preset for use on that band. The remaining 89 memories are reserved for the 89 most-recent tuning points, for quick frequency change without the need to retune the ATU.

 The ATU in the FT-2000D is designed to match impedances within the range of 16.5 Ohms to 150 Ohms, correspond-

ing to an SWR of 3:1 or less on the HF amateur bands (6 m amateur band: 25 Ohms to 100 Ohms, corresponding to an SWR of 2:1 or less). Accordingly, simple non-resonant whip antennas, along with random-length wires and the “G5RV” antenna (on most bands) may not be within the impedance matching range of the ATU.

ATU OPERATION

1. Rotate the [RF PWR] knob fully clockwise (to the right).

2. Use the Main Tuning Dial knob to set the radio to the desired operating frequency within the Amateur band.

3. Press the [TUNE] button momentarily to place the ATU in the transmit line (no adjustment/tuning will occur yet). The “ ” icon will appear in the display.

QUICK POINT:

The momentary press of the [TUNE] button will turn the tuner on, and the microprocessor will automatically select the tuning point closest to the current operating frequency.

4. Press and hold in the [TUNE] button for two seconds to begin automatic tuning. The transmitter will be engaged, and the “ ” icon will blink while tuning is in progress. When the optimum tuning point has been reached, the radio will return to receive, and the “ ” icon will again glow steadily (instead of blinking).

5. While tuning around the band using the Main Tuning Dial knob, you will observe that the “ ” icon blinks momentarily every 10 kHz. This momentary blinking indicates that a new tuning window has been entered. If you want to save tuning data associated with this 10 kHz window, repeat step 4 (above) for each such window. On bands like 1.8 MHz where the impedance may change rapidly, the storage of a number of tuning points is recommended.

6. To disconnect the ATU from the transmit line, press the [TUNE] button momentarily. The “ ” icon will turn off, confirming that the ATU has been turned off. In the “Off” mode, the transceiver will be directly connected to the coaxial cable connected to your antenna, and will operate based on whatever impedance is present at the station end of the coax.

NOTCH Indicator

ADVIC E:

The ATU circuit is located between the final amplifier and the rear-panel antenna jack; reception is not affected by the ATU.

QUICK POINT:

 As shipped from the factory, only one ATU alignment

point is saved on each Amateur band. This was memorized during the final alignment and performance verification stages on the production line.

 The momentary flickering of the “ ” icon occurs

whenever you cross over into a new 10 kHz ATU memory window.

NOTE:

Please check the operating frequency before beginning the tuning process, to be sure you are not interfering with others who may already be using the frequency.

TERMINOLOGY:

Antenna Tuner Memories: The microprocessor of the ATU makes a note of the positions of the tuning capacitors and the selected inductors, and stores the data for each 10 kHz window in which tuning has occurred. This eliminates the need to re-tune every time you return to a frequency on which you already have completed the tuning process.

ABOUT ATU OPERATION

Figure 1 depicts a situation where normal tuning via the ATU has been successfully completed, and the tuning data has been stored in the ATU memory. The antenna system as seen by the transmitter is shown.

In Figure 2, the operator has changed frequency, and the “ ” icon has become appeared. The operator presses and holds in the [TUNE] button for two seconds to begin impedance matching using the ATU.

If a high SWR conditions exists (above 3:1), corrective action must be taken in the antenna system to bring the impedance closer to 50 Ohms. Besides the fact that the ATU will refuse to memorize settings on frequencies where the SWR exceeds 3:1, the high SWR may indicate a mechanical failure in the feed system, and such failures can lead to the generation of spurious signals causing TVI, etc.

LITHIUM BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The memories for the ATU are backed up by a common Lithium backup battery (type CR2032 or equivalent). After two or more years of heavy use, you may notice that the tuner memories are not being maintained, and that you have to re-tune when returning to a frequency on which you had previously stored tuning data.

In this case, please replace the ATU Backup Battery using the following procedure:

1. Turn the FT-2000D’s [POWER] switch “off,” then turn the FP-2000’s [POWER] switch “off.”

2. Unplug the AC cable from the AC jack on the FP- 2000 rear panel, then disconnect the DC cable (having two connectors) from the FT-2000D rear panel.

3. Referring to Figure 1, remove the three screws from each side of the transceiver and three screws from the top edge of the rear panel. Slide the top case toward to the rear about 1/2 inch (1 cm), then remove the top case.

4. Turn the transceiver up side down.

5. Remove the seven screws affixing the bottom case, and then remove the bottom case (Figure 2).

6. Locate the Lithium battery on the left side of the Control Unit (Figure 3).

7. Turn the BACKUP switch “off.”

8. Follow the guidelines in Figure 4, and remove the old battery, replacing it with a new one of the identical type.

9. Connect the DC cable (having two connectors) to the FT-2000D rear panel, then connect the AC cable to the AC jack on the FP-2000 rear panel.

. Turn the FP-2000’s [POWER] switch “on,” then turn

the FT-2000D’s [POWER] switch “on.” Use extreme caution, as high voltages are present inside the transceiver!

. Turn the BACKUP switch “on.”

. Turn the FT-2000D’s [POWER] switch “off,” then

turn the FP-2000’s [POWER] switch “off.”

. Unplug the AC cable from the AC jack on the FP-

2000 rear panel, then disconnect the DC cable (hav- ing two connectors) from the FT-2000D rear panel.

. Replace bottom case and its seven screws removed in

step 5, and then replace the top case and its nine screws removed in step 3.

. The ATU Backup Battery replacement is now com-

plete.

CAUTION:

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

QUICK POINT:

When the ATU Backup Battery is replaced, all tuner memories will be erased, and new sets of tuning data will have to be stored.

ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY

ADJUSTING THE SSB TRANSMITTED BANDWIDTH

For transmission on SSB, a default bandwidth of 2.4 kHz is provided. This bandwidth provides reasonable fidelity along with good talk power, and is typical of the bandwidth used for decades during SSB transmission. However, the bandwidth may be varied by the operator, so as to provide different levels of fidelity or talk power, according to your preferences.

Here’s how to adjust the transmitted bandwidth on SSB:

1. Press the [MENU] button to engage the Menu.

2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob so as to select Menu item “083 A3J TX BPF.”

3. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the desired bandwidth. The available selections are 3000/

50-3000/100-2900/200-2800/300-2700/4002600, and the default is 300-2700 Hz. A wider band-

width will provide greater fidelity, while a narrow bandwidth will compress the available transmitter power into less spectrum, resulting in more “talk power” for DX pile-ups.

4. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

ADVICE :

 The Transmit Monitor is very helpful way of verifying

the effects on fidelity of changing the bandwidth. Pressing the [MONI] button then adjusting the [MONI] knob for a comfortable listening level while you are transmitting, you will be able to hear the difference in sound quality as you make changes.

 When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit

is connected, you may verify the effect of your adjustments of the transmitted bandwidth by observing the Audio Scope on the “Oscilloscope” page.

QUICK POINTS:

 The higher fidelity associated with wide bandwidth will

be particularly enjoyable on the low bands, during local rag-chew QSOs.

 The “3000” setting is a special hi-fidelity setting,

whereby the transmitted bandwidth is in excess of 3 kHz. This selection, in conjunction with judicious adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer (see next chapter) can provide truly outstanding fidelity and very natural-sounding audio.

 When using the wider bandwidth selections (especially

“3000”), the apparent power output from the transmitter may seem lower. This is because the available power from the transmitter is being distributed over a wider bandwidth, and the power detection circuitry does not compensate for the effect of the bandwidth selection (it is calibrated in the default 2.4 kHz bandwidth).

ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY

PARAMETRIC MICROPHONE EQUALIZER

The FT-2000D includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer, that provides precise, independent control over the low-, mid-, and treble-ranges in your voice wave-form. You may utilize one group of settings for when the speech processor is off, and an independent group of settings for when the speech processor is on. The speech processor feature is described on next chapter.

QUICK POINT:

The Parametric Equalizer is a unique technique for adjusting the signal quality. Because the three ranges may be adjusted so precisely, it is possible to craft a response that provides a more natural and pleasant sound than you have ever experienced before. Effective “talk power” can also be significantly enhanced.

The aspects of configuration that you may adjust on the Parametric Equalizer are:

Center Frequency: The center frequency of each of the three bands may be adjusted. Gain: The amount of enhancement (or suppression) within each band may be adjusted. Q: The bandwidth over which the equalization is applied may be adjusted.

(

SSB/AM MODES

)

SETUP THE PARAMETRIC MICROPHONE EQUALIZER

1. Connect the microphone to the MIC jack.

2. Set the [RF PWR] knob to its minimum value, so as not to cause interference to other users during adjustment.

ADVICE :

 We recommend you consider connecting a dummy

load to one of the Antenna jacks, and monitor your signal on a separate receiver, so as to prevent interference to other users.

 You will have the best chance of hearing the ef-

fects of adjustments if you wear headphones (connected to the monitor receiver) while monitoring your transmitted signal.

3. If you adjust the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor is disabled, press the [

PROC] button until the “ ” icon will appear in

the display. If you adjust the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor is engaged, press the [PROC] button until the “ ” and “ ” icons will appear in the display.

4. Press the [MONI] button, if you want to listen on the FT-2000D’s internal monitor.

5. Press the [MENU] button momentarily. The Menu list will appear in the display.

6. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to find the “EQ” Menu area, containing Menu items “123” through “131;” these parameters apply to the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor is disabled. Menu items “132” through “140” apply to the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor is engaged.

7. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to perform adjustments to a particular Menu item.

8. Close the PTT switch, and speak into the microphone while listening to the effects of the changes you are making (in step 6). Because the overall effect on the sound will change with each adjustment you make, you should make several passes through each adjustment area, to be sure that you are achieving the optimum setting.

9. When you have completed all adjustments, press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new settings and exit to normal operation. If you only press the [MENU] button momentarily to exit, any changes you performed will not be stored.

ADVIC E:

To roll off excessive bass response in a wide-range studio microphone, try putting a 10 dB null at 100 Hz with a bandwidth of “1” or “2,” do about a 3 dB null centered on 800 Hz with a bandwidth of “3,” and then put an 8 dB peak centered on 2100 Hz with a bandwidth of “1.” These are starting recommendations; each microphone and user’s voice will be different, often requiring different settings.

LOW- DISTORTION CLASS-A OPERATION

Class-A operation of the FT-2000D transmitter is provided, yielding ultra-low distortion products during SSB operation. Power output during Class-A operation is 75 Watts.

[

To engage Class-A operation as following:

1. Press the [MENU] button; the Menu list will appear in the display.

2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “141 tGEn BIAS.”

3. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select the desired BIAS level “0 - 100” to set the transceiver for operation anywhere between Class-A and Class-AB (which has lower heat dissipation but higher distortion products). Clockwise rotation of the [SUB VFO-B] knob increases the BIAS, and menu setting “100” will place the transmitter in fully Class-A operation. Counterclockwise rotation of the [SUB VFO-B] knob will move the transmitter toward Class-AB operation, and menu setting “Ab” will place the transmitter in fully Class-AB operation.

4. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

To exit from the Class-A mode, repeat the above procedure, rotating the [SUB VFO-B] knob to select “Ab” in step 3 above.

ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY

LOW- DISTORTION CLASS-A OPERATION

ADVICE

 During Class-A operation, ten Amps of Bias current will be flowing, regardless of the modulation level that leads to

actual power output. Therefore, if the ambient temperature in your operation location is high, the transceiver temperature may rise as well, due to the high bias level (which must be dissipated as heat). Depending on the temperature, you may wish to reduce the BIAS level using menu item “141 tGEn BIAS,” so as to reduce the amount of heat being generated.

 When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit is connected, you can monitor the heat sink temperature on the

after-maket monitor, you can always be aware of a rise in temperature during Class-A operation. Normally, the temperature is below 80 °C; if it rises to near or above this value, however, we recommend you adjust the BIAS level toward Class-AB (decrease the numerical value) via menu item “141 tGEn BIAS,” so as to reduce the heat being dissipated.

 An innovative aspect of the “Class-A” mode is that the actual power output is always limited to 75 Watts. So even

though you might adjust the BIAS lebel in the direction of Class-AB operation, the power output will not rise; this eliminates the need, for example, to re-tune your linear amplifier, if used.

QUICK POINT

 Class-A operation provides a significant improvement in transmitter distortion suppression. During Class-A, the 3rd-

order IMD products are typically suppressed 50 dB, while the 5th- and higher-order IMD products (that can cause “splatter” that interferes with others) will typically be suppressed 70 dB or more.

 If you are using a linear amplifier such as the VL-1000, the low distortion produced by the FT-2000D’s transmitter

means that these intermodulation distortion products will not exist to be amplified by your linear.

Class-AB 200W PEP IMDClass-A 75W PEP IMD

 High-Power 200-Watt Final Amplifier Stage

The final amplifier stage of the FT-2000D utilizes a pair of ST Micro Electronics Corp. SD2931 MOSFET devices operating at 50 Volts. The push-pull configuration provides low distortion along with high power output. The 120 mm thermostatically-controlled cooling fan directs forced air across the heat sink, should the heat sink temperature exceed the temperature that will trigger the thermostat.

TRANSMITTER CONVENIENCE FEATURES

VOX

Instead of using the microphone’s PTT switch or the front panel [MOX] switch to activate the transmitter, the VOX (Voice Operated TX/RX Control) system provides hands-free, automatic activation of the transmitter, based on voice input into the microphone. Setup of the VOX system takes only a few seconds.

1. To start, set the [VOX] and [DELAY] knobs fully counter-clockwise (to the left).

2. Press the [VOX] button to engage VOX operation.

3. Speak into the microphone in a normal voice level, and rotate the [VOX] knob clockwise (to the right) until the point where your voice input activates the transmitter.

ADVICE :

Do not advance the setting of the [VOX] knob too much, because to do so will make the transmitter respond to minor background noises in your station.

4. Now stop speaking, and note the amount of time it takes for the receiver to recover. If the hang time is too long or too short; rotate the [DELAY] knob, while speaking briefly into the microphone and then pausing, so as to set the desired hang time. Clockwise rotation of the [

DELAY] control will increase the hang time.

5. To exit from VOX operation, press the [VOX] button once more. We recommend doing this if you are going to leave your station, to prevent inadvertent activation of the VOX system by a ringing nearby telephone, speaker audio from a TV, etc.

You may listen to the quality of your transmitted signal using the Monitor feature.

1. Press the [MONI] button. The “ ” icon will appear in the display, indicating that the Monitor is turned on.

2. During transmission, rotate the [MONI] knob to adjust the audio level from the Monitor. Clockwise rotation of this knob will increase the volume level.

3. To switch the Monitor off again, press the [MONI button once more. The “ ” icon will turn off, confirming that the Monitor is now disengaged.

ADVICE :

 If you are using the speaker for monitoring, instead of

headphones, excessive advancement of the [MONI knob can cause feedback to occur. Additionally, this feedback can cause the VOX system to hang up in a loop, making it impossible to return to receive. Therefore, we recommend the use of headphones, if at all possible, or the minimum usable setting of the [MONI knob, if the speaker must be used.

 Because the Monitor feature utilizes a sampling of the

transmitter’s IF signal, it can be very useful for checking the adjustment of the Speech Processor or Parametric Equalizer on SSB, and for checking the general signal quality on AM and FM.

For split TX/RX operation in “casual” pile-ups, where the split is less than 10 kHz, the TX Clarifier (Offset Tuning) feature may be utilized.

[

CLAR] Knob

1. Press the [TX CLAR] button. The “TX” icon will appear in the Multi-Display Window in the display.

QUICK POINT:

The Clarifier is frequently used for receiver offset tuning. However, for DX pile-ups where the DX station is using a split of less than 10 kHz, the TX Clarifier function is usually the quickest way to set the transmitter to the desired offset frequency.

2. Rotate the [CLAR] knob to set the desired transmitter offset. A maximum split of ±9.99 kHz may be set.

3. To exit from TX Clarifier operation, press the [TX

pear from the Multi-Display Window.

ADVICE :

 To listen to the pile-up calling the DX station, so as to

find the station currently being worked, you may press the [RX CLAR] button. Once you have zeroed in on the station calling the DX (use the SPOT function on CW for precise alignment of your frequency), you may then press the [RX CLAR] button again to cancel the RX Clarifier, and return to reception on the DX station’s frequency.

 Just as with receiver Clarifier operation, the amount of

offset from the original VFO frequency will appear in the small display window.

 As with receiver Clarifier operation, when you turn the

TX Clarifier off the last-used offset is not lost, and will be available if you turn the TX Clarifier back on. To clear the Clarifier offset, press the [CLEAR] button.

QUICK POINT:

When attempting to work a DX station on CW, in a splitfrequency pile-up, remember that a large number of other stations may also be using Yaesu transceivers with capability similar to that of your FT-2000D. On the DX side of the pile-up, everyone calling precisely on the same CW frequency will sound like a single tone! So you may have more success if you use the RX Clarifier to find a hole in the pile-up, instead of trying to zero-beat the last station worked by the DX station.

CW MODE OPERATION

The powerful CW operating capabilities of the FT-2000D include operation using both an electronic keyer paddle and a “straight key” or emulation thereof, as is provided by a computer-based keying device.

SETUP FOR STRAIGHT KEY

Before starting, connect your key line(s) to the front and/or rear panel KEY jack(s), and be sure the [KEYER] button on the front panel is turned off for now.

1. Press the [CW] mode button to engage CW operation.

ADVICE :

 The operating mode is selected

using the [MODE] buttons to the left of the Main Tuning Dial knob, and the VFO (A or B) to which the selection is applied is selected by the [A] or [B] button above the [MODE] buttons. Usually, the [A] button glow Red, signifying Main band (VFO-A) is being adjusted. Similarly, pressing the [B] button will cause its indicator to blink Orange for five seconds, signifying Sub band (VFO-B) adjustment. Therefore, press the [A] or [B] button to select the desired VFO, then press the [CW] button to select the CW mode.

 If you press the [CW] button once more, after ini-

tially selecting CW, you will engage the “CW Reverse” mode (see page 86), whereby the “opposite” sideband injection is used, compared to the “normal” sideband. The CW LED will blink for three seconds if you select CW Reverse.

2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select the desired operating frequency.

3. Press the [BK-IN] button to engage automatic activation of the transmitter when you close the CW key. The “ ” icon will appear in the display.

ADVICE :

 When you close your CW key, the transmitter will

automatically be activated, and the CW carrier will be transmitted. When you release the key, transmission will cease after a brief delay; the delay time is user-programmable, per the discussion on page

83.

 As shipped from the factory, the FT-2000D TX/

RX system for CW is configured for “Semi-breakin” operation. However, using Menu item “058 A1A BK-IN,” you may change this setup for full break-in (QSK) operation, whereby the switching is quick enough to hear incoming signals in the spaces between the dots and dashes of your transmission. This may prove very useful during contest and traffic-handling operations.

4. Operation using your CW key may now proceed.

TERMINOLOGY:

Semi-break-in

This is a pseudo- “VOX” mode used on CW, whereby the closure of the CW key will engage the transmitter, and release of the key will allow the receiver to recover after a short delay. No signals will be heard between the spaces between dots and dashes (unless the sending speed is extremely slow).

Full break-in

Full break-in (Also known as “Full QSK”) involves very fast switching between transmit and receive, such that incoming signals may be heard between the dots and dashes as you send them. This allows you to hear a station that suddenly starts transmitting on your frequency, while you are in the midst of a transmission.

CW CONVENIENCE FEATURES

CW SPOTTING (ZERO-BEATING

)

“Spotting” (zeroing in on another CW station) is a handy technique for ensuring that you and the other station are precisely on the same frequency.

For everyday operation, the (CW) [PITCH] knob allows you to set the center of the receiver passband, as well as the offset pitch of your CW carrier signal, to the tone pitch you prefer to listen to.

The Tuning Offset Indicator in the display may also be moved so you can adjust your receiver frequency to center the incoming station on the pitch corresponding to that of your transmitted signal.

Using the SPOT System

While pressing the front panel’s [SPOT] button, the Spot tone will be heard and the Sub (VFO-B) frequency display will show the Spot tone frequency. This tone corresponds to the pitch of your transmitted signal, and if you adjust the receiver frequency to match the pitch of the received CW signal to that of the Spot tone, your transmitted signal will be precisely matched to that of the other station.

Release the [SPOT] button to turn the Spot tone off.

ADVICE :

 In a tough DX pile-up, you may actually want to use

the SPOT system to find a “gap” in the spread of calling stations, instead of zeroing in precisely on the last station being worked by the DX station. From the DX side, if a dozen or more operators (also using Yaesu’s SPOT system) all call precisely on the same frequency, their dots and dashes merge into a single, long tone that the DX station cannot decipher. In such situations, calling slightly higher or lower may get your call through.

 The Tuning Offset Indicator in the display may be uti-

lized for CW frequency adjustment, as well. Its configuration is set via Menu item “010 diSP BAR SEL” at the factory, and the Tuning Offset Indicator is already set to the “CW TUNE” selection.

Retune: Shift to Lower Frequency

Zero-In

Retune: Shift to Higher Frequency

: When the CW reversefeature is activated, the

indicator of the Tuning Offset Indicator will also be reversed.



QUICK POINTS:

 The CW Spotting process utilizes the Spot tone or the

Tuning Offset Indicator, with the actual offset pitch being set by the [PITCH] knob on the front panel. The offset pitch may be set to any frequency between 300 Hz and 1050 Hz, in 50 Hz steps, and you can either match tones audibly (using the [SPOT] button) or align the receiver frequency so that the central red LED on the Tuning Offset Indicator lights up. Note that there are 21 “dots” on the Tuning Offset Indicator, and depending on the resolution selected, the incoming CW signal may fall outside the visible range of the bar indicator, if you are not reasonably close to the proper alignment of tones.

 The displayed frequency, on CW, normally reflects the

“zero beat” frequency of your offset carrier. That is, if you were to listen on USB on 14.100.00 MHz to a signal with a 700 Hz offset, the “zero beat” frequency of that CW carrier would be 14.000.70 MHz; the latter frequency is what the FT-2000D displays, by default. However, you can change the display to be identical to what you would see on SSB by using Menu item “061 A1A FRQDISP” and setting it to “dIr” instead of its default “OFSt” setting.

CW DELAY TIME SETTING

During semi-break-in (not QSK) operation, the hang time of the transmitter, after you have finished sending, may be adjusted to a comfortable value consistent with your sending speed. This is the functional equivalent to the “VOX Delay” adjustment used on voice modes, and the delay may be varied anywhere between 20 milli-seconds ([DELAY] knob set fully counter-clockwise) and 5 seconds (fully clockwise).

CW PITCH ADJUSTMENT

Rotation of the front panel’s [PITCH] knob will allow adjustment of the center frequency of the receiver passband, as well as the pitch of your offset CW carrier, to the tone you prefer. The tone may be varied between 300 Hz and 1050 Hz, in 50 Hz steps.

ADVICE :

You may confirm the Spot tone frequency when turning the [PITCH] knob while pressing the [SPOT] button. Sub (VFO-B) frequency display will shows the Spot tone frequency.

TERMINOLOGY:

CW Pitch: If you tuned to an exact “zero beat” on an incoming CW signal, you could not copy it (“Zero beat” implies a 0 Hz tone). Therefore, the receiver is offset several hundreds of Hz (typically), so as to allow your ear to detect the tone. The BFO offset associated with this tuning (that produces the comfortable audio tone) is called the CW Pitch.

The FT-2000D in capable of the automatic sending of CW messages (as you might do in a contest). Two techniques for message storage are available: you may either send the desired message contents using your keyer paddle (“Message

Memory”), or you may input the text characters using the Main Dial Tuning knob and [SUB VFO-B] knobs (“Text Memory”).

Message Memory

Five memory channels capable of retaining 50 characters total are provided (using the PARIS standard for characters and word length).

Example: CQ CQ CQ DE W6DXC K (19 characters)

TERMINOLOGY:

PARIS Word Length: By convention in the Amateur industry (utilized by ARRL and others), the length of one “word” of CW is defined as the length of the Morse Code characters spelling the word “PARIS.” This character (dot/ dash/space) length is used for the rigorous definition of code speed in “words per minute.”

NOTE:

 The receive-mode CLARIFIER functions normally

while using this frequency, but variation of the transmit frequency is not possible. Activation of “147 tGEn EMERGENCY” does not enable any other out-of-amateur-band capability on the transceiver. The full specifications of the FT-2000D are not necessarily guaranteed on this frequency, but power output and receiver sensitivity should be fully satisfactory for the purpose of emergency communication.

 If you wish to disable operation capability on the Alaska

Emergency Frequency, repeat the above procedures, but set “147 tGEn EMERGENCY” to “diS” in step 3.

 In an emergency, note that a half-wave dipole cut for

this frequency should be approximately 45’3” on each leg (90’6” total length). Emergency operation on

5167.5 kHz is shared with the Alaska-Fixed Service. This transceiver is not authorized for operation, under the FCC’s Part 87, for aeronautical communications.

SETTING UP FOR RTTY OPERATION

Before commencing RTTY operation, please direct your attention to the setup steps shown in the chart to the right.

BASIC SETUP

1. Press the [RTTY] button to enter the RTTY mode. One press of the [RTTY] button will engage RTTY operation using “LSB” injection, which is generally used in the Amateur service. In this mode, both the “RTTY” and “LSB” LEDs will light up. To switch to USB-side injection in RTTY, press the [

RTTY] button once more. Both the “RTTY” and

“USB” LEDs will now be illuminated. Repeatedly pressing the [RTTY] button will toggle between LSB and USB injection on RTTY.

2. When you begin typing on your TU or computer keyboard, the command to transmit should automatically be sent to the transceiver, causing it to enter the transmit mode.

NOTE:

If you anticipate making data transmissions of longer than a few minutes, we recommend that you use the [RF PWR knob to reduce the transmitter power to 1/2 ~ 1/3 of its normal maximum.

 The Mark/Space Shift utilized in most Amateur RTTY

operation is 170 Hz. Other shifts may be configured, however, using Menu item “080 rtty SHIFT.” The FT-2000D is set up for “high tone” operation (cen- tered on 2125 Hz) by default, but you may configure it for low tone (1275 Hz) operation using Menu item “081 rtty TONE.”

 You may find that you are unable to decode some RTTY

stations, even if they are of sufficient signal strength. If this is observed, there may be a Mark/Space polarity problem between your station and the other station. If so, try setting Menu item “076 rtty R PLRTY” to “rEU” (“Reverse”) to see if that permits copy. A separate Menu item permits reversal of your transmitter’s Mark/Space polarity: “077 rtty T PLRTY.”

QUICK POINT:

]

In the FT-2000D, “RTTY” is a mode defined as being an “FSK” mode, whereby the closing and opening of a keying line (to ground) causes the Mark/Space tones to alternate. The RTTY mode is not an AFSK based mode in this transceiver, and the AFSK output tones from a TNC will not cause Mark/Space shifting to occur. Use the “Packet” mode for AFSK-based Baudot and other data modes.

3. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to find the Menu parameter “AU d” (this is the factory default setting).

4. Press the [ENT] button to change the parameter to “ON” (a “d” notation will replace the “E” notation).

5. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “144 tGEn ETX-GND.”

6. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to set this Menu item to “EnA” to enabling the rear panel’s TX GND jack

7. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for at least two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

1. Set up the frequency offset for transverter use, as described previously.

2. Choose the “Transverter” Band by the “MY Bands” operation, as described on page 46.

3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to set the desired operating frequency. Operation is basically unchanged from normal transceiver operation.

ADVIC E:

When the “TRV” mode is turned on, power output will not be allowed to pass to the “ANT 1” or “ANT 2” main antenna jacks. So one of these may be connected to your transverter’s “RX” jack. Just be certain to disconnect the transverter when returning to HF operation, as the selected Antenna jack will now be capable of passing RF power.

OPERATION

Setting the Transverter Frequency Offset

You may set up the frequency display so that it shows the actual band on which your transverter is operating (instead of the “IF” used by the transverter, which is the 28 MHz band on your FT-2000D).

Example: Setting up the FT-2000D display for use with a 144 MHz Transverter

1. Connect the 144 MHz transverter to the FT-2000D.

2. Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode.

3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item “034 GEnE TRV SET” is set to “44” (the factory default setting).

4. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob so as to select “44” on the display.

5. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for at least two seconds to save the new setting and exit.

The “100 MHz” digit of the frequency is not displayed, so when you are operating on 2 meters and see “45 MHz” on the frequency readout, this indicates “145 MHz” instead.

Advice:

With the setup described above, tuning the operating range 28-29 MHz will correspond to an actual operating frequency of 144-145 MHz, with “44-45” being displayed on the front panel of the transceiver.
