ONVENIENCE
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-950.
1. Press and hold in the [ ENT ] button (one of the [ BAND ]
key switches) for one second. The Frequency Display
area will change over to the "Rotator Control" con-
figuration.
2. Press either the [ 3.5 ( 2 )] button or the [ 7 ( 3 )] button to
rotate the antenna. Pressing the [ 3.5 ( 2 )] button will
cause rotation to the left (counter-clockwise) by two
degree steps, while pressing the [ 7 ( 3 )] button will cause
rotation to the right (clockwise) by two degree steps.
3. Press the [ 14 ( 5 )] button or the [ 18 ( 6 )] button to con-
trol the speed of rotation. Pressing the [ 14 ( 5 )] button
will cause slower rotation, while pressing the [ 18 ( 6 )]
button will speed up rotation. Usually, you will be us-
ing the "100%" speed setting.
When you are through exercising rotator control, press the
[ ENT ] button momentarily. The Frequency Display will
return to the main display field.
