BOUT THE REAT
In order to direct the antenna to the desired/opposite sta-
tion, a Great Circle Map can be displayed on the screen.
This Great Circle map will show your location at the cen-
ter of the map, and you can easily recognize and confirm
the direction your antenna should be pointed to work a
station elsewhere in the world.
In addition, when a Yaesu Rotator (G-800DXA, G-
1000DXA, or G-2800DXA) is connected to the FT-2000
transceiver, the transceiver can control the direction of
the rotation, rotation speed, etc. on the display screen.
In this case, the rotator has to be connected to the FT-
2000 via the optional cable T9101556, available from
your YAESU dealer.

tator control is in the manual mode.
