level up after you put the headphones on. This will
minimize the chance of damage to your hearing caused
by an unexpectedly-high audio level.

ton to engage the Main
(VFO-A) receiver; the

One-touch selec-
tion of each Ama-
teur band between
1.8 and 50 MHz is provided.
The FT-2000 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO se-
lection technique, which 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, mo-
mentary presses of the [ 14 ] MHz band button. Each
Amateur band button may similarly have up to three
frequency/mode settings applied.
