ADVANCED INTERFERENCE-SUPPRESSION FEATURES: RF FRONT END
The FT-2000D includes an unmatched array of RF selectivity-enhancing features. Please study the material below carefully, so as to understand the various features completely.
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.
Receiver Configuration Indicator
Offset Tuning Indicator
[VRF] Knob
ADVICE:

 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.

INTERFERENCE REJECTION (SIGNALS OFF FREQUENCY BY JUST A FEW KHZ)
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 independently on each VFO in the VFO stack.
Receiver Configuration Indicator
[R.FLT] Button
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.

INTERFERENCE REJECTION (SIGNALS WITHIN 3 KHZ)
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.
CONTOUR Indicator

ADVICE:

 The Contour filter affects the Main band (VFO-A) only.

 You may observe the graphically-depicted peak position of the CONTOUR Filter in the CONTOUR indicator on the display.

 The Contour filter’s level (either nulling or peaking)
may be adjusted using Menu item “090 rdSP CNTR
LV.” The factory default setting is for a null of “–15”
(dB).

 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.
[CONTOUR] Button
With reference to Figure “B,” note the initial position (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.
IF
BANDWIDTH
IF

BANDWIDTH
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.

INTERFERENCE REJECTION (SIGNALS WITHIN 3 KHZ)
IF SHIFT OPERATION (SSB/CW/RTTY/PKT/AM MODES)
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 (SSB/CW/RTTY/PKT MODES)
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.
[WIDTH] Knob
WIDTH Indicator
ADVICE:

 The IF Width affects the Main band (VFO-A) only.

 The bandwidth of the IF can be observed on the display.
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.

: bandwidth at 12 o’clock position of [WIDTH] knob.
FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL
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.”
Advice: For best interference reduction, the Width
and Shift features are the primary tools you should
use. After narrowing the bandwidth (Width) and/or
adjusting the center of the passband (Shift), the
Contour control may also yield additional signalenhancement benefits on the net residual bandwidth.
What’s more, the IF Notch Filter (see the next section) may also be utilized, in conjunection with the
three other filter systems, to significant advantage.

IF NOTCH FILTER OPERATION (SSB/CW/RTTY/PKT/AM MODES)
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 (maximum 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.

DIGITAL NOISE REDUCTION (DNR) OPERATION
The Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) system is designed to reduce the level of random noise found on the HF and 50 MHz
bands, and it is especially effective during SSB operation. By rotating the [DNR] knob, any of sixteen different noisereduction algorithms can be selected; each of these algorithms was created for dealing with a different noise profile, and
you will want to experiment with the DNR system to find the best setting according to the noise currently being experienced.
1. Press the [DNR] button. The “
” icon will appear
in the display, confirming that the DNR system is engaged.
2. Rotate the [DNR] knob to select the setting that most
effectively reduces the noise level.
3. To disable the DNR system, press the [DNR] button
once more. The “
” icon will turn off, confirming
that the DNR system is not active.

DIGITAL NOTCH FILTER (DNF) OPERATION
The Digital Notch Filter (DNF) is an effective beat-cancelling filter that can null out a number of interfering beat notes
inside the receiver passband. Because this is an Auto-Notch feature, there is no adjustment knob associated with this filter.
ADVICE:
If a very strong interfering carrier is encountered, we recommend you first use the IF Notch filter, as it is the most effective
notching tool in the receiver section.
1. Press the [DNF] button. The “
” icon will
appear in the display, confirming that the DNF
system is engaged.
2. To cancel DNF operation, press the [DNF] button once
more. The “

 When the [NAR] button has been pushed so as to engage the narrow filter, the [WIDTH] knob will be disabled, but IF Shift still is operational. For many applications, you may find that simple adjustment of the
[WIDTH] knob, instead of engaging the Narrow filter,
may be satisfactory for interference reduction.

 You may adjust the CW bandwidth using the [WIDTH]
knob, even if the narrow filter is engaged. In this case,
available bandwidth selections are 25 Hz ~ 2 kHz.

 When you press the [NAR] button in the FM mode,
both the transmit and receive bandwidths are narrowed.

TOOLS FOR COMFORTABLE AND EFFECTIVE RECEPTION
AGC (AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL)
The AGC system is designed to help compensate for fading and other propagation effects, with characteristics that can be
of particular value on each operating mode. The basic objective of AGC is to maintain a constant audio output level once
a certain minimum threshold of signal strength is achieved.
Main Band (VFO-A) AGC Selection
Press the [AGC] button repeatedly to select the desired
receiver-recovery time constant. You will observe the AGC
status notation in the AGC column of the Receiver Configuration Indicator on the display, denoting the AGC receiver-recovery time currently in use. For most operation,
we recommend the “AUTO” mode. Additionally, you may
disable the AGC by pressing and holding in the [AGC]
button for two seconds.
[AGC] Button
[B] Button
Sub Band (VFO-B) AGC Selection
1. Press the [B] button.
2. Within five seconds of pressing the [B] button (while
the imbedded orange LED is blinking), press the [AGC]
button repeatedly to select the desired receiver-recovery time constant. You will observe the AGC notation
below the Sub frequency on the display, denoting the
Sub receiver’s current AGC receiver-recovery time. For
most operation, we recommend the “AUTO” mode.
Additionally, you may disable the AGC by pressing
and holding in the [AGC] button for two seconds.
NOTE:
Pressing the [AGC] button allows selection of the desired
receiver-recovery time constant. Normally, the “AUTO”
selection is satisfactory for most situations, but in the event
of operation on a crowded band where you wish to receive
a weak signal, you may wish to change the setting (to FAST,
for example). The “AUTO” mode selections are:

ADVICE:
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
Audio Output
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
SLOPED
floor). The FT-2000D, however, includes an innovative Sloped AGC system on the Main band (VFO-A) receiver, that allows the audio volume to
NORMAL
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.

selected by the [A] or [B] button above the [MODE]
buttons. Usually, the [A] button glows Red, signifying
that the 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 [LSB] or [USB] button to select one of the SSB modes.
For AM operation, press the [AM/
FM] button repeatedly until the imbedded LED glows red.
QUICK POINT:

 By convention, LSB is used in the 7 MHz and lower
Amateur bands for SSB communication, and USB
is used on the 14 MHz and higher bands (the 10
MHz band is used for CW and data modes only).

 When the [AM/FM] button glows orange, it indicates that FM operation is engaged.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to adjust the operating frequency. Alternatively, you may use the [UP]/
[DWN] scanning buttons on the MH-31B8 Hand Microphone to sweep up or down the current band.
Page 64
3. Press the microphone’s PTT (Push To Talk) switch to
begin transmission; speak into the microphone in a
normal voice level.
ADVICE:

 The “
” indicator will light up in the frequency
display area, confirming that transmission is in
progress.

 When transmitting in the AM mode, rotate the [RF
PWR] knob so as to set a maximum (carrier) power
output of 50 Watts.
4. In the SSB mode, adjust the microphone amplifier gain
to match the microphone and your
voice level, set the [METER ]
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.
ADVICE:
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.
FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL
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.
FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL

 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-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 engage the transmitter automatically when you speak
into the microphone. For details of VOX operation, see page 78.
Page 65
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, 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. 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 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).
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.

NOTE:
Please check the operating frequency before beginning the

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 FP2000 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.
10. 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!
11. Turn the BACKUP switch “on.”
12. Turn the FT-2000D’s [POWER] switch “off,” then
turn the FP-2000’s [POWER] switch “off.”
13. Unplug the AC cable from the AC jack on the FP2000 rear panel, then disconnect the DC cable (having two connectors) from the FT-2000D rear panel.
14. Replace bottom case and its seven screws removed in
step 5, and then replace the top case and its nine screws

NOTES:

 Use care in the handling and storage of the Lithium battery. It is small, and presents a choking hazard to small children;
therefore keep such batteries out of the reach of children at all times. Do not dispose of Lithium batteries in fire, and do
not attempt to re-charge them under any circumstances.

 When opening/closing the case, take care with your screwdriver not to short out internal components, or touch them in
a way that will cause them to short out against other components.

 The exhaustion of the ATU backup battery of the FT-2000D is a normal “wear and tear” situation, and the loss of the
backup voltage is not a “defect” or other condition covered by the Limited Warranty on this product. Accordingly, if you
do not feel capable of replacing the battery, and ask a service shop to do so on your behalf, a service fee may apply.

FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL
ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY
ADJUSTING THE SSB TRANSMITTED BANDWIDTH (SSB MODE)
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 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.
FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL
[MENU] Button
Main Tuning Dial Knob
[SUB VFO-B] Knob
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).
Page 69
ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY
PARAMETRIC MICROPHONE EQUALIZER (SSB/AM MODES)
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.
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 effects 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.

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.

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

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

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 3rdorder 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 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

VOX (AUTOMATIC TX/RX SWITCHING USING VOICE CONTROL: SSB/AM/FM MODES)
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.
[VOX] Button

[DELAY] Knob
ADVICE:

 The Anti-Trip setting sets the negative feedback of receiver audio to the microphone, to prevent receiver
audio from activating the transmitter (via the microphone) can be adjusts via Menu item “040 GEnE

 VOX operation may be engaged on either Voice modes
(SSB/AM/FM) and on AFSK-based Data modes. Use
Menu item “137 tGEn VOX SEL” (the selections are
“niC (MIC)” and “dAtA (DATA)”).
MONITOR (SSB/AM/FM MODES)
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.
[MONI] Button
[MONI] Knob
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.

SPLIT OPERATION USING THE TX CLARIFIER (VFO-A OPERATION)
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
CLAR] button once more. The “TX” icon will disappear 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.

SPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATION
A powerful capability of the FT-2000D is its flexibility in Split Frequency operation, using the Main (VFO-A) and Sub
(VFO-B) frequency registers. This makes the FT-2000D especially useful for high-level DX-pedition use, as the Split
operation capability is very advanced and easy to use.
1. Set the Main (VFO-A) frequency as desired.
2. Set the Sub (VFO-B) frequency.
3. Now press the [SPLIT] button. The
front panel switch/LEDs will look like
this:

[RX ] switch “ON” (LED glows
Green)
[TX] switch “OFF” (LED Off)
Sub (VFO-B)
[RX] switch “OFF” (LED Off)
[TX] switch “ON” (LED glows Red)
During Split operation, the Main (VFO-A) register will be
used for reception, while the Sub (VFO-B) register will be
used for transmission. If you press the [SPLIT] button
once more, Split operation will be cancelled.
You may also press the Main [TX] switch located above
and to the right of the Main Tuning Dial knob to return
transmit frequency control to the Main (VFO-A) side,
thereby cancelling Split operation.
ADVICE:

 During normal (non-split) VFO-A operation, you may
simply press the Sub (VFO-B) [TX] switch (located
above and to the right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob) to
engage Split operation. The Sub [TX] indicator will
glow Red when you press the switch.

 During Split operation, if you press the [RX] switch
above and to the right of the [SUB VFO-B] knob, you
will engage Dual Receive operation, and now can listen to both sides of the DX pile-up, while transmitting
on the Sub (VFO-B) frequency. This is very useful for
maintaining the timing of your calls, while also monitoring both sides of the pile-up.

 During Split operation, you may also listen the TX frequency temporarily while pressing the [TXW] button
(below and to the left of the Main Tuning Dial knob).

 It is possible to set different operating modes (for example, LSB and USB) on the two VFOs used during
Split operation.

 During Split operation, it also is possible to set the
Main and Sub VFOs to different Amateur bands. But
remember that Dual Reception must be within the same
band.

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 (AND STRAIGHT KEY EMULATION) OPERATION
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 initially 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.

ADVICE:

 You can monitor your sending by pressing the [MONI]
button, and adjusting the [MONI] knob for a comfortable listening level on the CW sidetone.

 If you set the [VOX] and [BK-IN] buttons to Off, you
may practice your sending without having the signal
go out over the air (sidetone only).

 If you reduce power using the [RF PWR] knob, the
ALC meter reading will increase; this is normal and
does not indicate any problem whatsoever (because
increased ALC voltage is being used to lower the
power).
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 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 utilized 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.

FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL
[PITCH] Knob
Tuning Offset Indicator
[SPOT] Button
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.
Page 85
CW CONVENIENCE FEATURES
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 throw 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) onto
the Main (VFO-A) receiver.
2. Now be sure your mode selection is
still set for the Main (VFO-A) register, and press the [CW] mode button
once more. The “LSB” LED will
blink for three seconds, indicating
that the “LSB” injection side has now
been selected.

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).
1. Press the [BK-IN] button to enable CW transmission
(Menu item “058 A1A BK-IN” must be set to “SEni”).
2. Start sending, and adjust the [DELAY] knob so that
the hang time is as you prefer for comfortable operation.
[BK-IN] Button
[DELAY] Knob
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.
[PITCH] Knob
Sub (VFO-B) frequency display
[SPOT] Button
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.

CONTEST MEMORY KEYER
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).

MEMORY OPERATION
QMB (QUICK MEMORY BANK)
The Quick Memory Bank consists of five memories (labeled “C-1” through “C-5.”) independent from the regular and PMS
memories. These can quickly store operating parameters for later recall.
QMB Channel Storage
1. Tune to the desired frequency on the Main (VFO-A)
band.
2. Press the blue [QMB(STO)] button. The
“beep” will confirm that the contents of
the Main (VFO-A) band have been written to the currently-available QMB
memory.
[QMB(STO)] Button
If you repeatedly press the [QMB(STO)] button, the QMB
memories will be written in the following order:
C-2  C-3  C-4  C-5  C-1 ......
Once all five QMB memories have data on them, previous
data (starting with channel “C-1”) will be over-written on
a first-in, first-out basis.
QMB Channel Recall
1. Press the [QMB (RCL )] button. The current QMB
channel’s data will be shown on the Main
(VFO-A) frequency display field and the
QMB memory channel number will be
shown in the Multi-Display Window.
2. Repeatedly pressing the [QMB(RCL)] button will
toggle you through the QMB channels:
C-2  C-3  C-4  C-5  C-1 ......
3. Press the [V/M] button to return to the VFO or Memory
mode.

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.

ADVICE:

 If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the decimal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of
the frequency display will blink.

 If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will resume in about five seconds.

 On the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the
scanner will pause on a received signal, then will
step across the signal very slowly, giving you time
to stop the scan, if you like. In these modes on the
VFO, the scanner does not stop, however.

 If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the
microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key will cause scanning to resume instantly.
8. If you rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob in the opposite direction from the current scanning direction (in
other words, you rotate the dial to the left when scanning toward a higher frequency), the direction of the

ADVICE:

 For HF operation, SSB-based Data operation is generally used. One press of the [PKT] button will
engage Packet operation in the “LSB” mode (by
default). Both the “PKT” and “LSB” LEDs will
become illuminated.

 If you need to do FM-based 1200-baud packet on
the 29/50 MHz bands, press the [PKT] button repeatedly to illuminate the “PKT” LED to orange,
to engage the “PKT-FM” mode.

 When both the “PKT” and “USB” LEDs are illuminated, the FT-2000D has engaged Packet operation in the “USB” mode.
2. When the “transmit” command is received from the
TNC, the transmitter of the FT-2000D will automatically be engaged. Likewise, the command to return to
receive will cause the radio to revert to the receive
mode.

 During Packet operation via the rear panel’s 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.

side.
FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL

 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 (centered 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.

The FT-2000D 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 “146 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 for very convenient interfacing to computer Sound
Cards, etc.

FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL
ABOUT THE TRANSVERTER OUTPUT TERMINAL
VHF/UHF Antenna
You may connect an after-market transverter to the rear panel’s TRV (Transverter) jack. The output, at 28 MHz, is approximately –10 dBm (0.1 mW) at 50 Ohms.

SETUP
OPERATION
1. Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select Menu item
“122 tun MY BAND.”
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.
ADVICE:
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.
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.
FT-2000D OPERATING MANUAL
Page 111
MENU MODE
The Menu system of the FT-2000D provides extensive customization capability, so you can set up your transceiver just the
way you want to operate it. The Menu items are grouped by general utilization category, and are numbered from “001 AGc
FST DLY” to “147 tGEn EMRGNCY.”
USING THE MENU
1. Press the [MENU] button momentarily, to engage the
Menu mode.
The Main (VFO-A) frequency display will show the
Menu Number and Menu Group name, while the Sub
(VFO-B) frequency display will show the Menu item;
the Multi-Display window shows the current setting of
the currently-selected Menu item.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select the Menu
item you wish to work on.
3. Rotate the [SUB VFO-B] knob to change the current
setting of the selected Menu item.
4. When you have finished making your adjustments,
press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds
to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. If
you only momentarily press the [MENU] button, the
new settings will not be retained.
