PARAMETRIC 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 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 re-
duce 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 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 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 adjust-
ment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when
the speech processor is disabled. Menu items “160”
through “168” apply to the adjustment of the Paramet-
ric Microphone Equalizer when the speech processor
is 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 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.

ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY
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.

USING THE SPEECH PROCESSOR (SSB MODE)
The Speech Processor is designed to increase “talk power” by increasing the average power output via a sophisticated
compression technique. The result is improved intelligibility when conditions are difficult.
1. Adjust the [MIC] (gain) knob for SSB use, as described
on page 70.
2. Press the [PROC] button repeatedly until the “ ”
and “ ” icons appear in the display, confirming
that the Speech Processor is engaged.
ADVICE:
A blinking “ ” icon indicates the Parametric
Microphone Equalizer menu settings have all been set
to “OFF” (“160 TAUD PE1 FRQ”, “163 TAUD PE2
FRQ”, and “166 TAUD PE3 FRQ”).
3. Set the [PROC] knob between the 9:00 to 12:00
o’clock position.
ADVICE:
The relative compression level of the Speech Proces-
sor will show for 3 seconds in the lower right corner of
the Main Display whenever the outer [PROC] knob is
turned.
Alternately, the 3-second display feature may be
changed to show in the SUB DISPLAY-
III
window
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.
4. Rotate the [METER] switch fully to the left, to select
“COMP” (Compression).
5. Press the PTT switch on the microphone, and speak
into the microphone in a normal voice level. Confirm
that the compression level is within the 5 dB to 10 dB
range.
ADVICE:
We recommend that you set the [PROC] knob between
9:00 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.

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.
When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit
is connected, you may observe the effect of your com-
pression level adjustments by viewing the wave-form
on the “Oscilloscope” page.
Page 77FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUAL
ADJUSTING THE SSB TRANSMITTED BANDWIDTH (SSB MODE)
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.
ENHANCING TRANSMIT SIGNAL QUALITY
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 de-
sired 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 band-
width will provide greater fidelity, while a narrow band-
width 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. Press-
ing the [MONI] button then adjusting the [MONI] knob
for a comfortable listening level while you are trans-
mitting, 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 adjust-
ments of the transmitted bandwidth by observing the
Audio Scope on the “Oscilloscope” page.
QUICK POINTS:
The higher fidelity associated with wide bandwidth will
be particularly enjoyable on the low bands, during lo-
cal 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 ad-
justment 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 trans-
mitter 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 band-
width).

LOW- 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 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 Class-
AB (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 ro-
tation 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 disen-
gaged.

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 tempera-
ture 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.
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. SD2931
MOSFET devices operating at 50 Volts. The push-pull configuration provides low distortion along with high power
output. The 92 mm thermostatically-controlled cooling fan directs forced air across the heat sink, when triggered by a
rise in heat sink temperature.

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. Adjust the [MIC] (gain) knob for SSB use, as described
on 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) until
the 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 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 sec-
onds 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-
III
window
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.
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 turned
on.
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 turn
off, confirming that the Monitor is now disengaged.
TRANSMITTER CONVENIENCE FEATURES
6. 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.
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 micro-
phone) 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”).
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 impos-
sible 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.
1. Press the [TX CLAR/LOCK] button briefly. The
“” and “ ” icon will appear in the display,
and the programmed offset will be
applied to the receive frequency.
ADVICE:
If the “ ” and “ ” icon does not appear, check
to see if the LED imbedded in the [A/B] button glows
orange. If so, pressing the [A/B] button briefly, will
cause the [A/B] button to go out. Now, press the [TX
CLAR/LOCK] button briefly, to begin clarifier op-
eration.
2. Rotate the [CLAR(VFO-B)] knob to set the desired
transmitter offset. A maximum
split of ±9.999 kHz may be set.
3. To exit from TX Clarifier operation, press the [TX
CLAR/LOCK] button once more. The “ ” icon will
disappear from the display.
QUICK POINT:
When attempting to work a DX station on CW, in a split-
frequency pile-up, remember that a large number of other
stations may also be using Yaesu transceivers with capa-
bilities similar to your FTDX5000. On the DX side of the
pile-up, everyone calling precisely on the same CW fre-
quency 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.
Clarifier Offset Bar Indicator
A visual depiction of the relative offset of the Clarifier may be displayed, using the Bar Indicator.
1. Press the [MENU] button briefly, to enter the Menu
mode.
2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to select
Menu item “012 DISP BAR SEL”.
3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select
“CLAR (Clarifier)” (re-
placing the default “CW
TUNE (CW TUNING)”
selection).
4. Press and hold in the
[MENU] button for two
seconds to save the new
setting and exit to nor-
mal operation.
ADVICE:
The frequency step of the TX clarifier depends on the
Main Tuning Dial knob.
To listen to the pile-up calling the DX station, to find
the station currently being worked, you may press the
[RX CLAR/FAST] 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 briefly press the [RX CLAR/FAST] button
again to cancel the RX Clarifier, and return to recep-
tion 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, briefly press the [CLEAR]
button.

SPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATION
A powerful capability of the FTDX5000 is its flexibility in Split Frequency operation, using the Main (VFO-A) and Sub
(VFO-B) frequency registers. This makes the FTDX5000 especially useful for high-level DX-pedition use, as the Split
operation capability is very advanced and easy to use.

(VFO-B)[TX] button: LED glows red
3. During Split operation, the VFO-A register will be used
for reception, while the VFO-B register will be used
for transmission. If you press the [SPLIT] button once
more, Split operation will be cancelled.
(VFO-A)[RX] button: LED glows green
(VFO-A)[TX] button: LED glows red
(VFO-B)[RX] button: LED off
(VFO-B)[TX] button: LED off
4. You may also press the (VFO-A)[TX] button to return
transmit frequency control to the VFO-A side, thereby
canceling split operation.
ADVICE:
During normal (non-split) VFO-A operation, you may
simply press the (VFO-B)[TX] button (located above
and to the right of the [CLAR(VFO-B)] knob) to en-
gage Split operation. The (VFO-B)[TX] button will
glow red when you press the button.
During Split operation, pressing the [A
B] button will
reverse the contents of VFO-A and VFO-B. Press the
[A
B] button once more, to return to the original fre-
quency alignment.
During Split operation, if you press the (VFO-B)[RX]
button above and to the right of the [CLAR(VFO-B)]
knob, you will engage Dual Receive operation. Now
you can listen to both sides of the DX pile-up, and
transmit on the VFO-B frequency. This is very useful
to determine the timing of your calls, while also moni-
toring both sides of the pile-up.
During Split operation, you may also listen to the TX
frequency temporarily, by pressing the [TXW] button
(just below the [SPLIT] button).
It is possible to set different operating modes (for ex-
ample, LSB and USB) on the two VFOs used during
Split operation.
During Split operation, it is also possible to set VFO-
A and VFO-B to different amateur bands. But, remem-
ber that Dual Reception must be within the same band.
VFO Tracking Feature
In the default setting, the VFO-A frequency and VFO-B
frequency are changed individually using the Main Tun-
ing Dial knob and the [CLAR(VFO-B)] knob.
If you want to tune the VFO-A frequency and VFO-B fre-
quency together, the VFO Tracking feature is very useful.
Here is the procedure for activating the VFO Tracking fea-
ture:
1. Press the [MENU] button briefly, to engage the Menu

Page 86 FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUAL
The powerful CW operating capabilities of the FTDX5000 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). Be sure the [KEYER] button on the
front panel is turned off for now.
CW MODE OPERATION
1. Press the [CW] mode button
to engage CW operation.
The “ ” and “ ”
icons will appear in the dis-
play. The “ ” icon
will also appear in the dis-
play; and the CW monitor is
activated.
ADVICE:
The operating mode
is selected using the
[MODE] button.
The VFO, to which
the selection is ap-
plied, is selected by the [A] or [B] button (located
to the upper left of the Main Tuning Dial knob).
Usually, the [A] button glows red, signifying VFO-
A is being adjusted. Alternately, pressing the [B]
button will cause its indicator to glows orange, sig-
nifying 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.
After initially selecting CW, if you press the [CW]
button once more, you will engage the “CW Re-
verse” mode (see page 92). Normally, the upper
sideband (USB) is used in conjunction with CW.
In reverse CW the lower sideband (LSB) is used.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select the desired
operating frequency.
3. Press the [BK-IN] button
briefly, 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 93.
As shipped from the factory, the FTDX5000 TX/
RX system for CW is configured for “Semi-break-
in” operation. However, using Menu item “063 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 be-
tween 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.
A CW sidetone sounds from a speaker
in accordance with your keying. Ad-
just the [MONI] knob for a comfort-
able listening level of the CW
sidetone.

firming that the Monitor is now disengaged.
If you set the [BK-IN] button 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 in-
creased ALC voltage is being used to lower the power).
SETUP FOR STRAIGHT KEY (AND STRAIGHT KEY EMULATION) OPERATION
TERMINOLOGY:
Semi-break-in
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 send-
ing 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 fre-
quency, while you are in the midst of sending a mes-
sage.

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 fre-
quency will show in the lower right corner of the Main
Display. This tone corresponds to the pitch of your trans-
mitted 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 call-
ing 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 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 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 de-
pending on the resolution selected, the incoming CW
signal may fall outside the visible range of the bar in-
dicator, 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 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 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 Re-
verse 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 Re-
verse 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.

In the illustration, Figure “A” demonstrates the nor-
mal CW injection setup, using the USB side. In
Figure “B”, CW Reverse has been engaged. LSB-

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 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. Start sending, and adjust the [DELAY] knob so that
the hang time is as you prefer for comfortable opera-
tion.
ADVICE:
The delay time 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-

[DELAY] Knob
CW PITCH ADJUSTMENT
Rotation of the front panel’s [PITCH] knob will allow
adjustment of the center frequency of the receiver pass-
band, 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:
The spot tone frequency will show for 3 seconds in the
lower right corner of the Main Display whenever the outer
[PROC] knob is turned.
Alternately, the 3-second display feature may be changed
to show in the SUB DISPLAY-
III
window 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.
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 sev-
eral 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.

FM MODE OPERATION
BASIC OPERATION
1. To select the FM operating
mode, press the [AM/FM]
button several times, until
the “ ” icon appears in
the display, .
ADVICE:
The operating mode is
selected using the
[MODE] button,
and then pressing the
[A] or [B] button
(located to the upper
left of the Main Tun-
ing Dial knob), to
choose VFO-A or VFO-B, to which the selection is
applied. Usually, the [A] button glows red, signify-
ing VFO-A is being adjusted. Similarly, pressing
the [B] button will cause its indicator to glow or-
ange, signifying VFO-B adjustment. Therefore,
press the [A] or [B] button to select the desired
VFO, then press the [AM/FM] button to select the
FM mode.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob (in the case of VFO-
A operation) to tune the desired operating frequency.
Pressing the microphone [UP] or [DWN] button will
cause the frequency to change in 5 kHz steps.
3. Press the microphone PTT switch (or press the front
panel [MOX] button) to transmit. Speak into the mi-
crophone in a normal voice level. Release the PTT or
[MOX] switch to return to receive.

4. There are two methods of adjusting the microphone
gain for FM operation. At the factory, a default level
has been programmed that should be satisfactory for
most situations. However, using Menu item “079 F3E
MICGAIN”, you may set a different fixed value, or
you may choose the “MCVR” option which then lets
you use the front panel [MIC] knob to set the micro-
phone gain in the FM mode.
ADVICE:
The Transmit Monitor is another helpful way of veri-
fying proper adjustment of the FM MIC Gain. By press-
ing the [MONI] button, and then adjusting the [MONI]
knob for a comfortable listening level while you are
transmitting, you will be able to hear the difference in
deviation as you make adjustments.
FM is only used in the 28 MHz and 50 MHz Amateur
bands covered in the FTDX5000. Please do not use
FM on any other bands.

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.

MEMORY OPERATION
IMPOTANT NOTE
On rare occasions the stored data may become cor-
rupted by miss operation, or static electricity. When
repairs are made, the memory data may be lost.
Please write down or record the memory informa-
tion so you will be able to restore it if needed.
Page 101FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUAL
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 VFO-A.
2. Press the blue [STO] button briefly. The
“beep” will confirm that the contents of
VFO-A have been written to the currently
available QMB memory.
3 If you repeatedly press the [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 in 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 blue [RCL] button briefly. The
current QMB channel data will be shown
on the VFO-A frequency display field,
and the QMB memory channel num-
ber will appear in the small window at
the lower right corner of the display.
2. Repeatedly pressing the [RCL] button will rotate
through the QMB channels:
C-2 C-3 C-4 C-5 C-1 ......
3. Press the [V/M] button briefly, to return to the VFO or
Memory mode.
ADVICE:
Rotating the Main Tuning Dial knob, or changing the op-
erating mode will place the transceiver in the “Memory
Tune” mode. This is a temporary “pseudo-VFO” method
of tuning off of a stored memory channel. If you do not
over-write the contents of the current memory channel,
the original contents will not be disturbed by the initiation
of Memory Tune operation.

You may transfer the contents of the currently selected memory channel into the Main band (VFO-A) register, if you like.
1. Press the [V/M] button briefly, as necessary, to enter
the Memory mode. The memory channel number will
appear in the small window at the lower right corner of
the display.
2. Press and hold the [BAND/MCH] button for two sec-
ond. The [BAND/MCH] button will glow yellow, in-
dicating that you are ready to select a memory channel
using the [CLAR(VFO-B)] knob.
3. Rotate the [CLAR(VFO-B)] knob to select the memory
channel you wish to transfer to VFO-A.
4. Press and hold in the [M
A] button for two seconds,
until you hear the double beep. The data in the selected
memory channel will now be transferred to the VFO-
A.
ADVICE:
The transfer of data to the VFO-A does not affect the origi-
nal contents of the memory channel. This is a “copy” func-
tion that leaves the memory contents unchanged.
1. Press the [V/M] button briefly, to recall any memory
channel.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob and you will see
that the memory channel frequency is changing.

During Memory Tune operation, you may change
operating modes, and engage the Clarifier, if de-
sired.
3. Press the [V/M] button briefly to return to the origi-
nally-memorized frequency of the current memory
channel. One more brief press of the [V/M] button will
return you to VFO operation.
NOTE:
Computer software programs utilizing the CAT system
interface port may presume that the transceiver is operat-
ing in the VFO mode for certain features like “band map-
ping” and/or frequency logging. Because the “Memory
Tune” mode so closely resembles the VFO mode, be sure
that you have the FTDX5000 operating in a control mode
compatible with your software requirements. Use the VFO
mode if you’re not sure.
Memory Tune Operation
You may freely tune the frequency off of any memory channel in a “Memory Tune” mode. This is similar to VFO operation.
So long as you do not over-write the contents of the current memory, Memory Tune operation will not alter the contents of
the memory channel.

Section 97.401(d) of the regulations governing amateur radio in the United States permits emergency amateur communica-
tions on the spot frequency of 5167.5 kHz by stations in (or within 92.6 km of) the state of Alaska. This frequency is only
to be used when the immediate safety of human life and/or property are threatened. It is never to be used for routine
communications.
The FTDX5000 includes the capability for transmission and reception on 5167.5 kHz under such emergency conditions via
the Menu system. To activate this feature:
1. Press the [MENU] button to briefly, enter the Menu
mode.
2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to select “176
TGEN EMRGNCY”.
3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select “EN-
ABLE”.
4. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for 2 seconds to
save the new setting and exit to normal operation. Emer-
gency communication on this spot frequency is now
possible.
5. Press the [V/M] button, as necessary, to enter the
Memory mode. Press and hold the [BAND/MCH] but-
ton (the imbedded LED glows yellow), then rotate the
[CLAR(VFO-B)] knob to select the emergency chan-
nel (“E-US”), which is found between channels “P-9U”
and “01.”
NOTE:
The receive-mode CLARIFIER functions normally
while using this frequency, but variation of the trans-
mit frequency is not possible. Activation of “176 TGEN
EMRGNCY” does not enable any other out-of-ama-
teur-band capability on the transceiver. The full speci-
fications of the FTDX5000 are not necessarily guaran-
teed on this frequency. However, power output and re-
ceiver 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 communica-
tions.

You may scan either the VFO or the memories of the FTDX5000. The radio will halt scanning on any station with a signal
strong enough to open the receiver squelch.
VFO SCANNING
VFO AND MEMORY SCANNING
1. Set the VFO to the frequency on which you would like
to begin scanning.
2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SQL] knob so that the background
noise is just silenced.
ADVICE:
If you would like to scan on VFO-B, rotate the (VFO-
B)[SQL] knob so that the background noise is just si-
lenced.
3. Press and hold in the microphone [UP] or [DWN] key
for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specified direc-
tion on the VFO-A.
ADVICE:
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 sig-
nal 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, scan-
ning will resume.
5. To cancel scanning, press the microphone [UP] or
[DWN] key briefly.

QUICK POINT:
If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to prohibit
the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] keys from initiating scan-
ning, you may disable scanning control from the micro-
phone using Menu item “044 GENE MIC SCN” (set it to
“DISABLE”).

MEMORY SCAN
VFO AND MEMORY SCANNING
1. Set the transceiver up in the memory mode by pressing
the [V/M] button briefly, if necessary.
2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SQL] knob so that the background
noise is just silenced.
3. Press and hold in the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN]
key for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specified
direction.
4. The scanner will now cause the transceiver to incre-
ment in the chosen direction until a signal is detected.
When a signal is encountered which opens the squelch,
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 trans-
mission has ended. While the transceiver is in the
“pause” condition, the decimal points in the frequency
display area will blink.
5. If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will resume.
6. To cancel the scanning, press the microphone’s [UP]
or [DWN] key briefly.
ADVICE:
During Memory Group operation, only the channels
within the current Memory Group will be scanned.
If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the
microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key will cause scanning
to resume instantly.
If you press the microphone’s PTT switch during scan-
ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT
switch during scanning will not cause transmission,
however.
You may select the manner in which the scanner re-
sumes while it has paused on a signal, using Menu item
“045 GENE SCN RSM”. The default “TIME” setting
will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five
seconds; you may change it, however, to resume only
after the carrier has dropped out, if you like See page
125.
QUICK POINT:
If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to prohibit
the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] keys from initiating scan-
ning, you may disable scanning control from the micro-
phone using Menu item “044 GENE MIC SCN” (set it to
“DISABLE”).
[V/M] Button
Page 109FTDX5000 OPERATING MANUAL
To limit scanning (and manual tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory Scan-
ning (PMS) feature, which utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“P1L/P1U” through “P9L/P9U”). The PMS fea-
ture is especially useful in helping you to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.
1. Store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit fre-
quencies into the memory pair “P1L” and “P1U,” re-
spectively, or any other “L/U” pair of memories in the
special PMS memory area. See page 102 for details
regarding memory storage.
2. Press the [V/M] button briefly, to enter the Memory
mode.
3. Press and hold the [BAND/MCH] button for two sec-
onds. The [BAND/MCH] button will glow yellow, in-
dicating that you may select a memory channel using
the [CLAR(VFO-B)] knob.
4. Rotate the [CLAR(VFO-B)] knob to select memory
channel “P1L” or “P1U.”
5. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SQL] knob so that the background
noise is just silenced.
6. Turn the Main Tuning Dial knob slightly (to activate
memory tuning). Tuning and scanning are now limited
to the range within the P1L/P1U limits until you press
the [V/M] button briefly, to return to memory channel
or VFO-A operation.
7. Press and hold in the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN]
key for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specified
direction.
8. The scanner will now cause the transceiver to incre-
ment in the chosen direction until a signal is detected.
When a signal is encountered which opens the squelch,
it will do different things, 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, scan-
ning will resume.
9. If you rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob in the oppo-
site direction from the current scanning direction (in
other words, you rotate the dial to the left when scan-
ning toward a higher frequency), the direction of the
scan will reverse.
10. If you press the microphone PTT switch during scan-
ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT
switch during scanning will not cause transmission,
however.

Packet operation is easily accomplished on the FTDX5000 by connecting your TNC (Terminal Node Controller) to the
transceiver, as in the illustration. “Packet” operation also applies to SSB-based AFSK data modes, such as PSK31, etc.
PACKET OPERATION
PACKET SETUP (INCLUDING SUBCARRIER FREQUENCY)
Before operation can com-
mence, some basic setup proce-
dures must be performed, using
the Menu, to configure your ra-
dio for the desired data mode.
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 en-
gage 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.
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 opera-
tion.
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.

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 op-
eration, please direct your atten-
tion to the setup steps shown in
the chart to the right.
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 dis-
play.
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 key-
board, the command to transmit should automatically
be sent to the transceiver, causing it to enter the trans-
mit mode.
NOTE:
If you anticipate making data transmissions of longer than
a few minutes, we recommend that you use the [RF PWR]
knob to reduce the transmitter power to 1/2 ~ 1/3 of its
normal maximum.

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 (cen-
tered 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 sepa-
rate Menu item permits reversal of your transmitter
Mark/Space polarity: “094 RTTY T PLRTY”.
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 trans-
ceiver 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.

MISCELLANEOUS AFSK-BASED 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 com-
puter Sound Cards, etc.

2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to select Menu
item “150 TUNE MY BAND”.
3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select the de-
sired input frequency band of the transverter in menu
item (T14M OFF, T28M OFF, or T50M OFF ).
4. Press the [ENT] button (one of the [BAND] buttons)
to change the parameter to “ON” (the “OFF” notation
will change to “ON”).
5. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to select Menu
item “172 TGEN ETX-GND”.
6. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to set this Menu
item to “ENABLE” to enable the internal relay con-
nected to the rear panel TX GND jack.
7. Press and hold the [MENU] button for at least two sec-
onds to save the new setting, and exit to normal opera-
tion.
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.
ADVICE:
With the setup described above, tuning the actual operat-
ing range of the FTDX5000 will correspond to transverter
operating frequency of 144-145 MHz, with “44-45” being
displayed on the front panel of the transceiver.

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 out-
put will not be allowed to pass to the “ANT 1” through
“ANT 4” main antenna jacks. So one of these may be con-
nected to your transverters “RX” jack. Just be certain to
disconnect the transverter when returning to HF opera-
tion, as the selected antenna jack will now be capable of
passing RF power.
