Normanby Business Park, Unit 14/45 Normanby Road Notting Hill 3168, Victoria, Australia ABOUT THIS MANUAL . . The FT-2000 is a leading-edge transceiver with a number of new and exciting features, some of which may be unfamiliar to you. In order to gain the most enjoyment and operating efficiency from your FT-2000, we recommend that you read this manual in its entirety, and keep it handy for reference as you explore the many capabilities of your new transceiver. [. . . ] SSB transmit average talk power is normally 10% to 50% of the peak power output. Voice characteristics, microphone qualities, parametric equalizer and compression settings affect actual talk power output. 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 control are provided on the FT-2000, 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. The VOX (Voice Operated Xmit) circuit will engage the transmitter automatically when you speak into the microphone. For details of VOX operation, see page 74. FT-2000 OPERATING MANUAL Page 65 USING THE AUTOMATIC ANTENNA TUNER The Automatic Antenna Tuner (hereinafter referred to as the "ATU") built into each FT-2000 is crafted to ensure a 50-Ohm load for the final amplifier stage of the transmitter. ADVICE: The ATU of the FT-2000, being located inside the station, only adjusts the impedance presented to the transceiver at the station end of your coaxial cable feedline. When designing and building your antenna system, we recommend that every effort be made to ensure a low SWR at the antenna feedpoint. 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-2000 is designed to match impedances within the range of 16. 5 Ohms to 150 Ohms, corresponding 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. Use the Main Tuning Dial knob to set the radio to the desired operating frequency within the Amateur band. Press the [TUNE] button momentarily to place the ATU in the transmit line (no adjustment/tuning will occur yet). 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. Press and hold in the [TUNE] button for two seconds to begin automatic tuning. The transmitter will be en" icon will blink while tuning is gaged, and the " 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). 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. [. . . ] Available Values: EnA(ENABLE)/diS(DISABLE) Default Setting: diS(DISABLE) When this Menu Item is set to "EnA(ENABLE), " the spot frequency of 5167. 5 kHz will be enabled. The Alaska Emergency Channel will be found between the Memory channels "P-1" and "01 (or 1-01). " IMPORTANT: The use of this frequency is restricted to stations operating in or near Alaska, and only for emergency purposes (never for routine operations). See §97. 401(c) of the FCC's regulations for details. 140 tUAd PE3 BW Function: Adjusts the Q-factor of the high range of the parametric microphone equalizer when the speech processor is activated.
