Page 74 FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALPARAMETRIC MICROPHONE EQUALIZER (SSB/AM/FM MODES)The FTDX5000 includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer, that provides precise, independent con-trol over the low-, mid-, and treble-ranges in your voice waveform. You may utilize one group of settings when the speechprocessor is off, and an another independent group of settings when the speech processor is on.Setup of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer1. Connect the microphone to the MIC jack.2. Set the [RF PWR] knob to its minimum value, to re-duce interference to other users during adjustment.ADVICE:We recommend you consider connecting a dummyload to one of the Antenna jacks, and monitor yoursignal on a separate receiver, to prevent interfer-ence to other users.You will have the best chance of hearing the ef-fects of adjustments if you wear headphones (con-nected to the monitor receiver) while monitoringyour transmitted signal.3. To adjust the Parametric Microphone Equalizer whilethe speech processor is disabled, press the [PROC]button until the “ ” icon appears (or blinks) inthe display. To adjust the Parametric MicrophoneEqualizer with the speech processor engaged, press the[PROC] button until the “ ” and “ ” iconappears in the display.ADVICE:A blinking “ ” icon indicates the ParametricMicrophone Equalizer menu settings have all been setto “OFF”, as described later.4. Press the [MONI] button, if you want to listen on theFTDX5000’s internal monitor. Adjust the monitor levelusing the [MONI] knob.5. Press the [MENU] button briefly. The Menu list willappear 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 adjust-ment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer whenthe speech processor is disabled. Menu items “160”through “168” apply to the adjustment of the Paramet-ric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processoris engaged.7. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to perform ad-justments to a particular Menu item.8. Press the PTT switch, and speak into the microphonewhile listening to the effects of the changes you aremaking (in step 6). Because the overall effect on thesound will change with each adjustment you make, youshould make several passes through each adjustmentarea, to be sure that you are achieving the optimumsetting.9. When you have completed all adjustments, press andhold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to savethe new settings and exit to normal operation. If youonly 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 studiomicrophone, try putting a 10 dB null at 100 Hz with abandwidth of “1” or “2,” do about a 3 dB null centered on800 Hz with a bandwidth of “3,” and then put an 8 dBpeak centered on 2100 Hz with a bandwidth of “1.” Theseare starting recommendations; each microphone and user’svoice will be different, often requiring different settings.(VFO-B)[SELECT] Knob[MENU] Button(VFO-A)[SELECT] Knob[MONI] Button[MONI] Knob[PROC] ButtonENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITYQUICK POINT:The Parametric Equalizer is a unique system for adjusting the signal quality. Because the high, mid, and low audio rangesmay be adjusted so precisely, it is possible to craft a response that provides a more natural and pleasant sound than you haveever 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.

Page 76 FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITYUSING THE SPEECH PROCESSOR (SSB MODE)The Speech Processor is designed to increase “talk power” by increasing the average power output via a sophisticatedcompression technique. The result is improved intelligibility when conditions are difficult.1. Adjust the [MIC] (gain) knob for SSB use, as describedon page 70.2. Press the [PROC] button repeatedly until the “ ”and “ ” icons appear in the display, confirmingthat the Speech Processor is engaged.ADVICE:A blinking “ ” icon indicates the ParametricMicrophone Equalizer menu settings have all been setto “OFF” (“160 TAUD PE1 FRQ”, “163 TAUD PE2FRQ”, and “166 TAUD PE3 FRQ”).3. Set the [PROC] knob between the 9:00 to 12:00o’clock position.ADVICE:The relative compression level of the Speech Proces-sor will show for 3 seconds in the lower right corner ofthe Main Display whenever the outer [PROC] knob isturned.Alternately, the 3-second display feature may bechanged to show in the SUB DISPLAY-III windowvia Menu item “018 DISP INDI”. Additionally, youmay disable the 3-second display feature via Menu item“017 DISP LVL IND” See page 122 for details.4. Rotate the [METER] switch fully to the left, to select“COMP” (Compression).5. Press the PTT switch on the microphone, and speakinto the microphone in a normal voice level. Confirmthat the compression level is within the 5 dB to 10 dBrange.ADVICE:We recommend that you set the [PROC] knob between9:00 to 12:00 o’clock position as described previously.5. To switch the Speech Processor off, press the [PROC]button repeatedly until the “ ” and “ ”icons disappear.[METER] Switch[MONI] Button[MONI] Knob[PROC] Knob[MIC] Button[PROC] ButtonADVICE:Excessive advancement of the [PROC] knob will re-sult in a degradation of the transmitted signal-to-noiseratio, thereby reducing intelligibility at the other endof 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 aretransmitting, allows you to hear the difference in soundquality as you make adjustments.The [RF PWR] knob still controls the RF power out-put, whether or not the Speech Processor is engaged.When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unitis connected, you may observe the effect of your com-pression level adjustments by viewing the wave-formon the “Oscilloscope” page.

Page 77FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALADJUSTING THE SSB TRANSMITTED BANDWIDTH (SSB MODE)For SSB transmission, a default bandwidth of 2.4 kHz is provided. This bandwidth provides reasonable fidelity along withgood talk power, and is typical of the bandwidth used for decades during SSB transmission. However, the bandwidth maybe varied by the operator, when preferred, to provide different levels of fidelity or increased talk power.ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITYHere’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 Menuitem “104 A3J TX BPF”.3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select the de-sired bandwidth. The available selections are 50-3000,100-2900, 200-2800, 300-2700, 400-2600, and3000WB. The default is 300-2700 Hz. A wider band-width will provide greater fidelity, while a narrow band-width will compress the available transmitter powerinto less spectrum, resulting in more “talk power” forDX pile-ups.4. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two secondsto save the new setting and exit to normal operation.ADVICE:The Transmit Monitor is very helpful way of verifyingthe effects on fidelity of changing the bandwidth. Press-ing the [MONI] button then adjusting the [MONI] knobfor a comfortable listening level while you are trans-mitting, you will be able to hear the difference in soundquality as you make changes.When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unitis connected, you may verify the effect of your adjust-ments of the transmitted bandwidth by observing theAudio Scope on the “Oscilloscope” page.QUICK POINTS:The higher fidelity associated with wide bandwidth willbe particularly enjoyable on the low bands, during lo-cal rag-chew QSOs.The “3000WB” setting is a special hi-fidelity setting,whereby the transmitted bandwidth is in excess of 3kHz. This selection, in conjunction with judicious ad-justment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer (seenext chapter) can provide truly outstanding fidelity andvery natural-sounding audio.When using the wider bandwidth selections (especially“3000WB”), the apparent power output from the trans-mitter may seem lower. This is because the availablepower from the transmitter is being distributed over awider bandwidth, and the power detection circuitrydoes not compensate for the effect of the bandwidthselection (it is calibrated in the default 2.4 kHz band-width).(VFO-B)[SELECT] Knob[MENU] Button(VFO-A)[SELECT] Knob[MONI] Button[MONI] Knob

Page 78 FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITYLOW- DISTORTION CLASS-A OPERATION (SSB MODE)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 trans-ceiver in a condition whereby the Bias level may beadjusted, via the Menu mode.1)Press the [MENU] button briefly, to engage theMenu.2)Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob, and selectMenu item “169 TGEN BIAS”.3)Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select thedesired BIAS level “1 - 100” to set the transceiverfor operation anywhere between Class-A and Class-AB (Class-AB has lower heat dissipation but higherdistortion products).A menu setting of “100” will place the transmitterfully in Class-A operation. Counter-clockwise ro-tation of the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob will movethe transmitter toward Class-AB operation. Themenu setting “1” will place the transmitter fully inClass-AB operation.4)Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two sec-onds to save the new setting and exit to normaloperation.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 disen-gaged.CLASS-AB CLASS-AId: Drain CurrentVDS: Drain Voltage(VFO-B)[SELECT] Knob[MENU] Button(VFO-A)[SELECT] Knob[CLASS-A] Button

Page 79FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITYADVICEDuring Class-A operation, 10-Amps of Bias current will be flowing, regardless of the modulation level that leads toactual power output. Therefore, if the ambient temperature in your operation location is high, the transceiver tempera-ture may rise as well, due to the high bias level (which must be dissipated as heat). Depending on the temperature, youmay 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 heatsink 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 recommendyou adjust the BIAS level toward Class-AB via menu item “169 TGEN BIAS” (decrease the numerical value to reducethe heat being dissipated).An innovative aspect of the “Class-A” mode is that the actual power output is always limited to 75 Watts. So eventhough you might adjust the BIAS in the direction of Class-AB operation, the power output will not rise; this eliminatesthe 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 transmittermeans these intermodulation distortion products will not exist to be amplified by your linear.LOW- DISTORTION CLASS-A OPERATION (SSB MODE)The High-Power 200-Watt Final Amplifier Stage of the FTDX5000 utilizes a pair of ST Micro Electronics Corp. SD2931MOSFET devices operating at 50 Volts. The push-pull configuration provides low distortion along with high poweroutput. The 92 mm thermostatically-controlled cooling fan directs forced air across the heat sink, when triggered by arise in heat sink temperature.Class-AB 200W PEP IMDClass-A 75W PEP IMD

Page 81FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALVOX (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 (VoiceOperated TX/RX Control) system provides hands-free, automatic activation of the transmitter, based on voice input intothe microphone. Setup of the VOX system takes only a few seconds.1. Adjust the [MIC] (gain) knob for SSB use, as describedon page 70.2. Set the [VOX] and [DELAY] knobs fully counter-clock-wise (to the left).3. Press the [VOX] button briefly, to engage VOX opera-tion. 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) untilthe point where your voice input activates the trans-mitter.ADVICE:Do not advance the setting of the [VOX] knob too far,as this will make the transmitter respond to minor back-ground noises in your station.5. Now stop speaking, and note the amount of time it takesfor the receiver to recover. If the hang time is too longor too short; rotate the [DELAY] knob, while speakingbriefly into the microphone, and then pausing, to setthe 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 sec-onds in the lower right corner of the Main Displaywhenever the outer [DELAY] knob is turned.Alternately, the 3-second display feature may bechanged to show in the SUB DISPLAY-III windowvia Menu item “018 DISP INDI”. Additionally, youmay disable the 3-second display feature via Menu item“017 DISP LVL IND” See page 122 for details.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 ap-pear in the display, indicating that the Monitor is turnedon.2. During transmission, rotate the [MONI] knob to ad-just the audio level from the Monitor. Clockwise rota-tion 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 turnoff, confirming that the Monitor is now disengaged.TRANSMITTER CONVENIENCE FEATURES6. To exit from VOX operation, press the [VOX] buttononce more. We recommend doing this if you are goingto leave your station, to prevent inadvertent activationof the VOX system by a ringing nearby telephone,speaker audio from a TV, etc.ADVICE:The Anti-Trip setting sets the negative feedback of re-ceiver audio to the microphone, to prevent receiveraudio from activating the transmitter (via the micro-phone) can be adjusts via Menu item “175 TGENANTI VOX”.VOX operation may be engaged on voice modes (SSB/AM/FM) and on AFSK-based data modes. Use Menuitem “174 TGEN VOX SEL” (the selections are“MIC” and “DATA”).ADVICE:If you are using the speaker for monitoring, instead of headphones, excessive advancement of the [MONI] knob cancause feedback to occur. Additionally, this feedback can cause the VOX system to hang up in a loop, making it impos-sible to return to receive. Therefore, we recommend the use of headphones, if at all possible, or the minimum usablesetting 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 theadjustment of the Speech Processor or Parametric Equalizer on SSB, and for checking the general signal quality on AMand FM.[VOX] Button[VOX] Knob[DELAY] Knob[MIC] Knob[MONI] Button[MONI] Knob

Page 82 FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALTRANSMITTER CONVENIENCE FEATURESSPLIT 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) featuremay be utilized.1. Press the [TX CLAR/LOCK] button briefly. The“” and “ ” icon will appear in the display,and the programmed offset will beapplied to the receive frequency.ADVICE:If the “ ” and “ ” icon does not appear, checkto see if the LED imbedded in the [A/B] button glowsorange. If so, pressing the [A/B] button briefly, willcause the [A/B] button to go out. Now, press the [TXCLAR/LOCK] button briefly, to begin clarifier op-eration.2.

Page 91FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALCW CONVENIENCE FEATURESCW SPOTTING (ZERO-BEATING)“Spotting” (zeroing in on another CW station) is a handy technique for ensuring that you and the other station are preciselyon the same frequency.For everyday operation, the (CW) [PITCH] knob allows you to set the center of the receiver passband, as well as the offsetpitch 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 theincoming station on the pitch corresponding to that of your transmitted signal.Using the SPOT SystemWhile pressing the front panel [SPOT] button, the spottone will be heard in the speaker, and the spot tone fre-quency will show in the lower right corner of the MainDisplay. This tone corresponds to the pitch of your trans-mitted signal, and if you adjust the receiver frequency tomatch the pitch of the received CW signal to that of thespot tone, your transmitted signal will be precisely matchedto 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 usethe SPOT system to find a “gap” in the spread of call-ing stations, instead of zeroing in precisely on the laststation being worked by the DX station. From the DXside, if a dozen or more operators (also using Yaesu’sSPOT system) all call precisely on the same frequency,their dots and dashes merge into a single, long tonethat the DX station cannot decipher. In such situations,calling slightly higher or lower may get your callthrough.The Tuning Offset Indicator in the display may be uti-lized for CW frequency adjustment, as well. Its con-figuration is set via Menu item “012 DISP BAR SEL”at the factory, and the Tuning Offset Indicator is al-ready set to the “CW TUNE” selection.QUICK POINTS:The CW spotting process utilizes the spot tone or theTuning Offset Indicator, with the actual offset pitchbeing set by the [PITCH] knob on the front panel. Theoffset pitch may be set to any frequency between 300Hz and 1050 Hz, in 50 Hz steps, and you can eithermatch tones audibly (using the [SPOT] button) or alignthe receiver frequency so that the central red bar onthe Tuning Offset Indicator lights up. Note that thereare 21 “dots” on the Tuning Offset Indicator, and de-pending on the resolution selected, the incoming CWsignal may fall outside the visible range of the bar in-dicator, if you are not reasonably close to the properalignment of tones.The displayed frequency on CW, normally reflects the“zero beat” frequency of your offset carrier. That is, ifyou were to listen on USB on 14.100.70 MHz to asignal with a 700 Hz offset, the “zero beat” frequencyof that CW carrier would be 14.000.70 MHz. The lat-ter frequency is what the FTDX5000 displays, by de-fault. However, you can change the display to be iden-tical to what you would see on SSB by using Menuitem “066 A1A FRQ DISP” and setting it to “FREQ”instead of its default “PITCH” setting.[SPOT] Button[PICTH] KnobRetune:Shift to Higher Frequency: When the CW reversefeature is activated, the indica-tor of the Tuning Offset Indicator will also be reversed.Zero-InRetune:Shift to Lower Frequency

Page 92 FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUALUSING CW REVERSEIf you experience a difficult interference situation, where an interfering station cannot readily be eliminated, you may wishto try receiving using the opposite sideband. This may move the interfering station’s frequency in a direction that may lenditself more readily to rejection.1. To start, let’s use a typical example where you have setthe CW mode (using the default “USB” injection) onthe VFO-A receiver.2. Now be sure your mode selection is still set for theVFO-A register, and press the [CW] mode button oncemore. The “ ” and “ ” icons will appear in thedisplay, indicating that the “LSB” injection side hasnow been selected.3. When using Dual Receive, press the [B] button, whichis located to the upper left of the Main Tuning Dialknob. Then press the [CW] button to engage CW Re-verse on the VFO-B receiver, in exactly the same wayas for the VFO-A receiver.4. Press the [CW] mode button once more to return tothe normal (USB) injection side and cancel CW Re-verse operation (the “ ” and “ ” icons willappear 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 properlyaligned, the central red marker lights up whether ornot CW Reverse is engaged.CW CONVENIENCE FEATURESIn the illustration, Figure “A” demonstrates the nor-mal CW injection setup, using the USB side. InFigure “B”, CW Reverse has been engaged. LSB-side injection is being used to eliminate interfer-ence.The beneficial effect of switching sidebands canbe clearly seen in this example.RX PassbandRX PassbandCarrierCarrierQRMQRMNormal CW( )CW Reverse( )USBLSBAB[CW] Button[PICTH] Knob[A], [B] ButtonAUDIO PEAK FILTER1.

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 with the ([DELAY]knob set fully counter-clockwise) and 5 seconds (fully clockwise).1. Press the [BK-IN] button to enable CW transmission(Menu item “059 A1A BK-IN” must be set to “SEMI”).2.

Additionally, you may disable the 3-second display feature via Menu item “017 DISP LVLIND” See page 122 for details.TERMINOLOGY:CW Pitch: If you tuned to an exact “zero beat” on anincoming CW signal, you could not copy it (“Zero beat”implies a 0 Hz tone). Therefore, the receiver is offset sev-eral hundred Hz (typically), to produce an audio tone yourear can detect. The BFO offset associated with this tuning(that produces the comfortable audio tone) is called theCW Pitch.[PICTH] KnobCW CONVENIENCE FEATURES
