This chapter describes each control and con-
nector on the FT-1000MP. You can just glance
through it quickly now, but some of the descrip-
tions will be more meaningful if you take the time
to read them in detail now. If questions arise later
while proceeding through the operation chapter,
you can return to this chapter with the set pow-
ered up for control knob clarification. Some con-
trols and switches are disabled under certain
conditions.
(1) POWER
This button turns the transceiver on and off.
(2) MOX & VOX Pushbutton Switches
MOX may be used in place of a microphone
PTT switch or CW key to activate the transmitter,
when depressed. It must be in the undepressed
position for reception.
VOX enables automatic voice-actuated trans-
mitter switching in SSB, AM and FM modes, and
"semi-break-in" keying in CW mode. The controls
affecting VOX operation are located in the top
access panel.
(3) AGC Selector
Selects main receiver Automatic Gain Control
decay time for most comfortable reception, or
disables receiver AGC (off). Normally this switch
is set to the AUTO position. Strong signals will
cause distortion if this selector is set to OFF.
(4) PHONES
A 1/4 inch and 3.5 mm, 3-contact jack accept
either monaural or stereo headphones with a 2- or
3-contact plug. When a plug is inserted, the loud-
speaker is disabled. With stereo headphones
such as the optional YH-77STA, you can monitor
both receiver channels at the same time during
dual reception. In this case, the headphone HP
controls (page18) beneath the top access panel
adjust levels mixed, separate or monaural head-
phone operation.
(5) KEY
This 1/4-inch, 3-contact jack accepts a CW key
or keyer paddles (for the built-in electronic keyer),
or output from an external electronic keyer. You
cannot use a 2-contact plug in this jack. Pinout is
shown on page 4. Key up voltage is 5 V, and key
down current is 0.5 mA. There is another jack with
the same name, connected in parallel with this
jack, on the rear panel.
(6) MIC © PROC
The inner MIC control adjusts the microphone
input level for (non-processed) SSB and AM
transmission.
The outer PROC control sets the compression
(input) level of the transmitter RF speech proces-
sor in SSB modes, when activated by the button
with the same name.
