Page 29: Dual Receive
ONVENIENCE EATURES ECEIVE The FT 5000 is capable of simultaneous reception on the same amateur band, using the VFO-A and VFO-B receivers, in what is called the “Dual Receive” mode. Especially useful for DX work, here is the operating procedure for Dual Receive operation.

Page 32 ONVENIENCE EATURES P.BACK ( A ( VFO-A ) R UDIO LAYBACK FROM ECEIVER Once engaged by the operator, the FT 5000 begins the automatic recording of the last 15 seconds of incoming receiver audio on the VFO-A by plugging in the supplied FH-2 Remote Control Keypad into the rear panel’s REMOTE jack. This capability is especially useful for confirming a callsign that may have been difficult to copy due to noise or QRM, etc.
Page 33 ONVENIENCE EATURES “MY B ” O ANDS PERATION When operating on an amateur band, it is possible to use the [ BAND ] buttons to engage the use of the [ CLAR ( VFO-B )] knob for amateur band selection. The “My Bands” feature allows you to select several amateur bands, and make those bands available for selection via the [ CLAR ( VFO-B )] knob.
Page 34: Band Stack Operation
ONVENIENCE EATURES TACK PERATION The FT 5000 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, that permits you to store up to three favorite frequen- cies and modes onto each band’s VFO register. For example, you may store one frequency each on 14 MHz CW, RTTY, and USB, then recall these VFOs by successive, momentary presses of the [ 14 ] MHz band button.
