Rotator Control Functions - Yaesu FT-2000 Operating Manual

C
When using a YAESU model G-800DXA, G-1000DXA, or G-2800DXA rotator (not supplied), it is possible to control it
from the front panel of the FT-2000.
1 Press and hold in the [ ENT ] button (one of the [ BAND ]
button) for two seconds. The frequency display area
will change over to the "Rotator Control" configura-
tion.
2 Press either the [ F2 ( CH-2 )] button or the [ F3 ( CH-3 )]
button to rotate the antenna. Pressing the [ F2 ( CH-2 )]
button will cause rotation to the left (counter-clock-
wise), while pressing the [ F3 ( CH-3 )] button will cause
rotation to the right (clockwise).
3 Press the [ F5 ( MEM )] button or the [ F6 ( DEC )] button
to control the speed of rotation. Pressing the
[ F5 ( MEM )] button will cause slower rotation, while
pressing the [ F6 ( DEC )] button will speed up rotation.
Usually, you will be using the "100%" setting.
When you are through exercising rotator control, press the
[ ENT ] button momentarily. The frequency display will
return to the main display field.
I
Set to match the starting point of your rotator
control indicator needle via the Menu item
"012 diSP RTR STU." The default setting is
zero (north). If your controller starting point is
south, the Menu item "012 diSP RTR STU"
must be set to "180°." If not set properly the
FT-2000 display will not show the correct di-
rection.
When the rotator control indicator needle does
not indicate the precise antenna direction, ad-
justs the indicator needle precisely to the an-
tenna direction via the Menu item "013 diSP
RTR ADJ."
