[ POWER ] Switch
[ ANT ] Switch
1. Turn on the external DC power supply.
2. Press and hold in the front-panel [ ON/OFF ] switch
until the transceiver turns on. After
about five seconds (ten seconds if the
optional µ-Tuning Kit is connected), the
transceiver is ready for full operation.
3. The transceiver will start up on 7.000.000 MHz
LSB, (or the previously used operating frequency)
and normal operation may begin.

To turn power off, press and hold in the front panel
[ ON/OFF ] switch for one second.
4. Rotate the [ AF ] knob to set a com-
fortable audio level of the incoming
signals or noise. Clockwise rotation
of the [ AF ] knob increases the vol-
ume level.

When using headphones, start by rotating the [ AF ]
knob counter-clockwise, then bring the volume level
up after you put the headphones on. This will mini-
mize the chance of damage to your hearing caused
by an unexpectedly high audio level.
5. Press the [( VFO-A ) RX ] Indicator/Switch to engage
the VFO-A; the imbedded
LED will glow green.

If you press the [( VFO-
A ) RX ] Indicator/Switch
when the imbedded LED
is already glowing green,
the LED will now blink
"on" and "off"; this indicates that the VFO-A re-
ceiver is temporarily muted. Just press the [( VFO-A )
RX ] Indicator/Switch once more to restore VFO-A
receiver operation.

 One-touch selection of each Amateur band be-
tween 1.8 and 50 MHz is provided.
 The FT 3000 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO
DX
selection technique, which permits storing up to
three favorite frequencies and modes onto each
VFO band register. For example, you may store
one frequency each on 14 MHz CW, RTTY, and
USB, then recall these frequencies by successive,
momentary presses of the [ 14 ] MHz band button.
Each Amateur band button may similarly have up
to three frequency/mode settings applied.
 When the [ MHz/µT ] button (located to the left
of the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob), is pressed, the
imbedded LED will glow orange, and then rota-
tion of the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob will change the
frequency in 1 MHz steps.
7. Press the [ ANT ] button to select the ap-
propriate antenna for the band in use.

When you make an antenna selection,
that antenna is "remembered" by the
microprocessor in conjunction with the
VFO register in use.
