Tuning The Ft-1000Mp - Yaesu FT-1000MP Operating Manual

Operation
Tuning the FT-1000MP
Tuning is accomplished several ways, with
method each having its own advantages, they
are:
O Main & Sub VFO Knob Tuning
O Shuttle Jog Tuning
O Panel & Microphone Down / Up keys
O VFO Channel Stepping
Tuning Methods
VFO Knob
Rotating the Main VFO-A knob tunes the trans-
ceiver according to the selected tuning step size
and encoder tuning rate. Both of these settings
are configured via menu selections 1-3 & 1-4 (see
page 86). The table below shows the available
tuning step sizes and their default settings.
_ Default Step |
MAIN VFO-A See: '* Hz
SUBWFO-B | 222552 bedi
10 Hz, 20 Hz
Shuttle Jog 13 preset N/A
DOWN/UP Normal 100 kHz
Push buttons
(panel & mic.) | w/ FAST button 1 MHz
MEM/VFO CH
Ch. Stepping Normal 10 kHz
.625 Hz, 1.25 Hz
ae 2.5 Hz, 5 Hz 10Hz
(clarifier) 10 Hz. 20 Hz
For faster dial tuning rates with either the VFO
knob or mic UP/DOWN buttons, press the FAST
button below and to the left of the Main VFO knob
(@S¥ appears). This selects the VFO speed,
which can be switched between 4x (default) and
2x in menu selection 1-0 (see page' 86). This
affects the AF per VFO knob rotation without
changing the default tuning step size.

Shuttle Jog
The shuttle jog ring is more efficient for large
frequency excursions, or whenever QSY requires
spinning the VFO knob a lot, while still providing
positive control with a comfortable feel.
Rotating the jog away from the center detent in
either direction starts constant tuning.The farther
the jog is moved from center, the larger the pro-
gressive frequency steps (and QSY). There are
13 preset frequency steps incrementing through
the arc of the shuttle jog (from 10 Hz ~ 100 kHz).
The shuttle jog speed (encoder rate) is also con-
figurable from 1 ~ 100 msec. via menu selection
1-1 on page 86.

Recall that step size varies as the ring is
turned, while encoder rate is fixed. The effect of
tuning faster as the ring is rotated actually comes
from jumping to progressively larger tuning incre-
ments, as encoder rate remains constant.
FAST Button Operation
By default, the front panel FAST button is a
press-on, press-off type. However, you can
change it to a momentary type by recalling
menu selection 8-0 (see page 91) and
changing the default setting.
