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-2000D.
1 Press and hold in the [ ENT ] button (one of the [ BAND ]
button) for two seconds. The SUB DISPLAYs will
change over to the "Rotator Control" configuration.
2 Press either the [ 3.5 ( 2 )] button or the [ 7.0 ( 3 )] button
to rotate the antenna. Pressing the [ 3.5 ( 2 )] button will
cause rotation to the left (counter-clockwise), while
pressing the [ 7.0 ( 3 )] button will cause rotation to the
right (clockwise).
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%" setting.
When you are through exercising rotator control, press the

MPORTANT
ˆ Set to match the starting point of your rotator
control indicator needle via the Menu item "012
DISP RTR STU." The default setting is zero
(north). If your controller starting point is south,
the Menu item "012 DISP RTR STU" must be
set to "180° 180° 180° 180°." If not set properly the FT
180°
display will not show the correct direction.
ˆ When the rotator control indicator needle does
not indicate the precise antenna direction, ad-
justs the indicator needle precisely to the an-
tenna direction via the Menu item "013 DISP
RTR ADJ."
