PARAMETRIC MICROPHONE EQUALIZER

(

SSB/AM/FM MODES

)

The FTDX5000 includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer, that provides precise, independent control over the low-, mid-, and treble-ranges in your voice waveform. You may utilize one group of settings when the speech processor is off, and an another independent group of settings when the speech processor is on.

Setup of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer

1. Connect the microphone to the MIC jack.

2. Set the [RF PWR] knob to its minimum value, to reduce 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, 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. To adjust the Parametric Microphone Equalizer while the speech processor is disabled, press the [PROC button until the “ ” icon appears (or blinks) in the display. To adjust the Parametric Microphone Equalizer with the speech processor engaged, press the [

PROC] button until the “ ” and “ ” icon

appears in the display.

ADVICE:

A blinking “ ” icon indicates the Parametric Microphone Equalizer menu settings have all been set to “OFF”, as described later.

4. Press the [MONI] button, if you want to listen on the FTDX5000’s internal monitor. Adjust the monitor level using the [MONI] knob.

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

6. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to find the “TAUD” Menu area, which contains Menu items “151” through “159”; these parameters apply to the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor is disabled. Menu items “160” through “168” apply to the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor is engaged.

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

8. Press 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.

ADVICE:

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.

QUICK POINT:

The Parametric Equalizer is a unique system for adjusting the signal quality. Because the high, mid, and low audio 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. Or, the effective “talk power” can be significantly enhanced.

The aspects of configuration that you may adjust with 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.

ADVICE:

 Excessive advancement of the [PROC] knob will re-

sult in a degradation of the transmitted signal-to-noise ratio, thereby reducing intelligibility at the other end of the circuit.

 The Transmit Monitor provides a helpful way of veri-

fying proper adjustment of the compression level. Pressing the [MONI] button then adjusting the [MONI knob for a comfortable listening level while you are transmitting, allows you to hear the difference in sound quality as you make adjustments.

 The [RF PWR] knob still controls the RF power out-

put, whether or not the Speech Processor is engaged.

ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY

ADJUSTING THE SSB TRANSMITTED BANDWIDTH

For SSB transmission, 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, when preferred, to provide different levels of fidelity or increased talk power.

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

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

2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob, and select Menu item “104 A3J TX BPF”.

3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select the desired bandwidth. The available selections are 50-3000, 100-2900, 200-2800, 300-2700, 400-2600, and 3000WB. The default is 300-2700 Hz. A wider bandwidth 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.

[

MONI] Button

[

MONI] Knob

QUICK POINTS:

 The higher fidelity associated with wide bandwidth will

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

 The “3000WB” 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

“3000WB”), 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).

LOW- DISTORTION CLASS-A OPERATION

Class-A operation of the FTDX5000 transmitter is provided, yielding ultra-low distortion products during SSB operation. Power output during Class-A operation is 75 Watts.

1. To engage Class-A operation, press the [CLASS-A button. The “ ” icon will appear in the display, confirming that Class-A operation has been selected.

2. Engaging the “Class-A” mode actually places the transceiver in a condition whereby the Bias level may be adjusted, via the Menu mode.

1)Press the [MENU] button briefly, to engage the

Menu.

2)Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob, and select

Menu item “169 TGEN BIAS”.

3)Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select the

desired BIAS level “1 - 100” to set the transceiver for operation anywhere between Class-A and ClassAB (Class-AB has lower heat dissipation but higher distortion products). A menu setting of “100” will place the transmitter fully in Class-A operation. Counter-clockwise rotation of the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob will move the transmitter toward Class-AB operation. The menu setting “1” will place the transmitter fully in Class-AB operation.

4)Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two sec-

onds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.

3. To exit from the CLASS-A mode, press the [CLASS-

A] switch once more. The “ ” icon disappears,

confirming that the CLASS-A mode has been disengaged.

LOW- DISTORTION CLASS-A OPERATION

ADVICE

 During Class-A operation, 10-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 “169 TGEN BIAS”, to reduce the amount of heat being generated.

 When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit and a video monitor are connected, you can monitor the heat

sink temperature on the video monitor; thus, you can always be aware of a rise in temperature during Class-A operation. Normally, the temperature is below 80 °C. If the temperature rises to near or above this value, however, we recommend you adjust the BIAS level toward Class-AB via menu item “169 TGEN BIAS” (decrease the numerical value 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 in the direction of Class-AB operation, the power output will not rise; this eliminates the need to re-tune your linear amplifier, if used.

QUICK POINT

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

the 3rd-order IMD products are typically suppressed 45 dB. The 5th- and higher-order IMD products that can cause “splatter” and interfere 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 FTDX5000’s transmitter

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

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. Adjust the [MIC] (gain) knob for SSB use, as described on page 70.

2. Set the [VOX] and [DELAY] knobs fully counter-clockwise (to the left).

3. Press the [VOX] button briefly, to engage VOX operation. The [VOX] button will glow red.

4. 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 far, as this will make the transmitter respond to minor background noises in your station.

5. 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, to set the desired hang time. Clockwise rotation of the [DE-

LAY] knob will increase the hang time.

ADVICE:

The hang time of the VOX circuit will show for 3 seconds in the lower right corner of the Main Display whenever the outer [DELAY] knob is turned. Alternately, the 3-second display feature may be changed to show in the SUB DISPLAY- via Menu item “018 DISP INDI”. Additionally, you may disable the 3-second display feature via Menu item “017 DISP LVL IND” See page 122 for details.

ADVICE:

 The Anti-Trip setting sets the negative feedback of re-

ceiver audio to the microphone, to prevent receiver audio from activating the transmitter (via the microphone) can be adjusts via Menu item “175 TGEN ANTI VOX”.

 VOX operation may be engaged on voice modes (SSB/

AM/FM) and on AFSK-based data modes. Use Menu item “174 TGEN VOX SEL” (the selections are “MIC” and “DATA”).

MONITOR

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 briefly 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.

This is a pseudo- “VOX” mode used on CW, where the closure of the CW key will engage the transmitter. Releasing 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 sending a message.

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 [SPOT] button, the spot tone will be heard in the speaker, and the spot tone frequency will show in the lower right corner of the Main Display. 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 “012 DISP BAR SEL” at the factory, and the Tuning Offset Indicator is already set to the “CW TUNE” selection.

[

PICTH] Knob

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 bar 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 14.100.70 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 FTDX5000 displays, by default. However, you can change the display to be identical to what you would see on SSB by using Menu item “066 A1A FRQ DISP” and setting it to “FREQ” instead of its default “PITCH” setting.

USING CW REVERSE

If you experience a difficult interference situation, where an interfering station cannot readily be eliminated, you may wish to try receiving using the opposite sideband. This may move the interfering station’s frequency in a direction that may lend itself more readily to rejection.

1. To start, let’s use a typical example where you have set the CW mode (using the default “USB” injection) on the VFO-A receiver.

2. Now be sure your mode selection is still set for the VFO-A register, and press the [CW] mode button once more. The “ ” and “ ” icons will appear in the display, indicating that the “LSB” injection side has now been selected.

3. When using Dual Receive, press the [B] button, which is located to the upper left of the Main Tuning Dial knob. Then press the [CW] button to engage CW Reverse on the VFO-B receiver, in exactly the same way as for the VFO-A receiver.

4. Press the [CW] mode button once more to return to the normal (USB) injection side and cancel CW Reverse operation (the “ ” and “ ” icons will appear in the display).

NOTES:

 When CW Reverse is engaged, the Tuning Offset In-

dicator action will concurrently be reversed.

 When the incoming signal pitch tone is properly

aligned, the central red marker lights up whether or not CW Reverse is engaged.

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 hundred Hz (typically), to produce an audio tone your ear can detect. The BFO offset associated with this tuning (that produces the comfortable audio tone) is called the CW Pitch.

MEMORY OPERATION

CONVENIENT MEMORY FUNCTIONS

The FTDX5000 contains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled “01” through “99”; nine specialy programmed limit memory pairs, labeled “P1L/P1U” through “P9L/P9U”; and five QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories, labeled “C-1” through “C-5”. Each memory location not only stores the VFO-A frequency and mode, but also stores the various settings shown below. By default the 99 regular memories are contained in one group. However, they can be arranged in up to six separate groups, if desired.

QUICK POINT:

The FTDX5000’s memory channels store the following data (in addition to the operating frequency):

 Frequency  Mode  Clarifier status and its Offset Frequency  ANT status  ATT status  IPO status  VRF status  Roofing filter status and its Bandwidth  Noise Blanker status  CONTOUR status and its Peak Frequency  DSP Noise Reduction (DNR) status and its Reduction algorithm selection.  DSP Notch filter (NOTCH) status  NAR bandwidth status  DSP Auto Notch filter (DNF) status  Repeater Shift Direction and CTCSS Tone Frequency

IMPOTANT NOTE

On rare occasions the stored data may become corrupted by miss operation, or static electricity. When repairs are made, the memory data may be lost. Please write down or record the memory information so you will be able to restore it if needed.

 The receive-mode CLARIFIER functions normally

while using this frequency, but variation of the transmit frequency is not possible. Activation of “176 TGEN EMRGNCY” does not enable any other out-of-amateur-band capability on the transceiver. The full specifications of the FTDX5000 are not necessarily guaranteed on this frequency. However, 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 “176 TGEN EMRGNCY” to “DISABLE” 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 rules for aeronautical communications.

If you would like to begin scanning on the VFO-B, press the [B] button briefly, first (located to the upper left of the Main Tuning Dial knob), then press and hold in the microphone [UP] or [DWN] key for 1/2 second.

4. The scanner will now increment the frequency in the chosen direction until a signal is detected. When a signal is encountered which opens the squelch, receiver will respond differently, depending on the operating mode:  In the SSB/CW modes, the decimal points in the

frequency display area will blink and the scanner will slow down (but does not stop).

 In the FM/AM modes, the transceiver pauses on

the signal and stays locked on its frequency for five seconds. Thereafter, scanning will resume whether or not the other station’s transmission has ended. While the transceiver is in the “pause” condition, the decimal points in the frequency display area will blink. If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will resume.

5. To cancel scanning, press the microphone [UP] or [

DWN] key briefly.

ADVICE:

You may select the manner in which the scanner resumes while it has paused on a signal in the FM/AM modes, using Menu item “045 GENE SCN RSM”.

BASIC SETUP

1. Press the [PKT] button.

ADVICE:

 For HF operation, SSB-based data operation is gen-

erally used. One brief press of the [PKT] button will engage packet operation in the “LSB” mode (by default). Both the “ ” and “ ” icons will appear in the display.

 To operate FM-based 1200-baud packet on the 29/

50 MHz bands, press the [PKT] button repeatedly to illuminate the “ ” and “ ” icons, to engage the “PKT-FM” mode.

 To engaged Packet operation in the “USB” mode,

repeat pressing the [PKT] button until both the “ ” and “ ” icons are appear.

2. When the “transmit” command is received from the

TNC, the FTDX5000 transmitter will automatically be engaged. Likewise, the command to return to receive will cause the radio to revert to the receive mode.

Page 110 FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUAL

ADVICE:

 If you need to adjust the output level from the “DATA

OUT” pin of the PACKET jack (pin 4) on the radio, use Menu item “072 DATA OUT LVL”. For the input level from the TNC, as applied to the DATA IN pin of the PACKET jack (pin 1), use Menu item “070 DATA DT GAIN”.

 During Packet operation via the rear panel PACKET

jack, the front panel MIC jack is cut off, so you won’t have a “live microphone” problem during data operation.

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 1/3 ~ 1/2 of its normal maximum.

PERATION

Most RTTY operation today is accomplished using a TNC or other computer-based system that utilizes AFSK tones. As such, the previous discussion on LSB-mode “Packet” operation will also apply for Baudot operation. RTTY operation using a Terminal Unit (TU), or the “FSK” output from a TNC is discussed below. Also, see the illustration for details regarding connection to your TU.

SETTING UP FOR RTTY OPERATION

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

MENU ITEM

089 RTTY LCUT FRQ 090 RTTY LCUT SLP 091 RTTY HCUT FRQ 092 RTTY HCUT SLP 093 RTTY R PLRTY

BASIC SETUP

1. Press the [RTTY] button briefly, 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 “ ” and “ ” icons will appear in the display. To switch to USB-side injection in RTTY, press the [

RTTY] button once more. Both the “ ” and

“ ” icons appear. 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.

ADVICE:

 The Mark/Space Shift utilized in most Amateur RTTY

operation is 170 Hz. Other shifts may be configured using Menu item “097 RTTY SHIFT”. The FTDX5000 is set up for “high tone” operation (centered on 2125 Hz) by default, but you may configure it for low tone (1275 Hz) operation using Menu item “074 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 “093 RTTY R PLRTY” to “REV” (“Reverse”) to see if that permits copy. A separate Menu item permits reversal of your transmitter Mark/Space polarity: “094 RTTY T PLRTY”.

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.

QUICK POINT:

In the FTDX5000, “RTTY” is defined as 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.

The FTDX5000 may also be used for a host of other SSB-based Data modes. Please set up your system using the illustration as a guideline.

QUICK POINT:

When you have configured Menu item “174 TGEN VOX SEL” to “DATA”, the transceiver will operate in a “VOX”

mode, and it is not necessary to connect a PTT line. This makes very convenient to interface your transceiver to computer Sound Cards, etc.

Setting the Transverter Frequency Offset

You may set up the frequency display so that it shows the frequencies of the transverter operating band (instead of the 28 MHz band frequencies used as the “IF” on your FTDX5000).

Example: Setting up the FTDX5000 display for use with a 144 MHz Transverter

1. Connect the 144 MHz transverter to the FTDX5000.

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

3. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to select the Menu item which designates the input frequency band from the transverter (040 GENE TRV 14M, 041 GENE TRV 28M, or 042 GENE TRV 50M).

4. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select “44MHz” on the display.

5. Press and hold the [MENU] button in 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.

OPERATION

UTPUT

ERMINAL

1. Set up the FTDX5000 for transverter use, as described

previously.

2. Choose the “Transverter” band with the “MY Bands” procedures as described on page 46. You may find the “Transverter” band between the “1.8 MHz” and “50 MHz” Bands.

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

ADVICE:

When the “Transverter” mode is turned on, TX power output will not be allowed to pass to the “ANT 1” through “ANT 4” main antenna jacks. So one of these may be connected to your transverters “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.

NOTE:

The apparent power output, when using the widest bandwidths, may seem lower. This is normal, and it occurs because the available transmitter power is distributed over a wider bandwidth. The greatest compression of power output, conversely, occurs when using the “400-2600” setting (400-2600 Hz), and this setting is highly recommended for contest or DX pile-up work.
