Antenna Tuner may not be able to reduce the impedance mismatch to an acceptable value if the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) present at the Antenna jack is greater than 3:1. Every effort should, therefore, be made to ensure that the impedance of the antenna system utilized with the FT-2000 be as close as possible to the specified 50-Ohm value.
NSTALLATION AND NTERCONNECTIONS ROUNDING The FT-2000 transceiver, like any other HF communications apparatus, requires an effective ground system for maximum electrical safety and best communications effectiveness. A good ground system can contribute to station efficiency in a number of ways: It can minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the operator.

NTERCONNECTIONS The FT-2000 includes a host of features for the CW operator, the functions of which will be detailed in the “Operation” section later. Besides the built-in Electronic Keyer, two key jacks are provided, one each on the front and rear panels, for convenient connection to keying devices.
INEAR MPLIFIER NTERCONNECTIONS Be sure that both the FT-2000 and VL-1000 are turned off, then follow the installation recommendations contained in the illustration. Please refer to the VL-1000 Operating Manual for details regarding amplifier operation. Please do not attempt to connect or disconnect coaxial cables when your hands are wet.
The TX/RX switching in the linear amplifier is con- trolled by switching components in the transceiver. The relay circuit of the FT-2000 used for this switching is capable of switching AC voltage of 100 Volts at up to 300 mA, or DC voltages or 60 V at 200 mA or 30 V at up to 1 Amp.

Although you don’t get the “stereophonic” ef- fect in the monaural mode, the two signals are still mixed, offering the potential for much better copy than in regular AM or even single-sideband ECSS modes. FT-2000 O Page 43 PERATING ANUAL...

PERATION The FT-2000 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, that permits you to store up to three favorite frequencies 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.

LOCK IAGRAM The FT-2000 includes a wide range of special features to suppress the many types of interference that may be encountered on the HF bands. However, real world interference conditions are constantly changing, so optimum setting of the controls is somewhat of an art, requiring familiarity with the types of interference and the subtle effects of some of the controls.
IPO should be disabled and the [ ATT ] button should be set to “OFF.” This situation is typical during quiet times on frequencies above 21 MHz, and when using a small or negative-gain receiving antenna on other bands. FT-2000 O Page 51...
