Before You Begin. . . 4. Connecting and Selecting the Microphone The FT 9000 comes equipped with two microphone connectors: the front panel includes a “Cannon” (XLR) three-pin connector, while the rear panel provides an eight-pin (round) connector. As shipped from the factory, the front panel XLR connector is engaged for operation, and the rear panel 8-pin microphone jack is not connected.

Ultra-strong Receiver Front End YAESU’s outstanding RF-stage filtering establishes a clean performance that allows the rest of the receiver to perform at a high level. By reducing the ingress of energy from very strong sources like Shortwave Broadcast, local AM/FM/TV stations, and other signal sources, the overall purity of the spectrum delivered to the RF Amplifier first mixer, and subsequent stages is maintained, and the system Blocking Dynamic Range is also enhanced.
Page 11 Page 66 On the 18 MHz and higher Amateur bands, and on 1.8 - 50 MHz on the Sub (VFO-B) band, Yaesu’s robust VRF (Variable RF Filter) preselector provides a relay-selected RF selectivity much tighter than that afforded by traditional bandpass filter networks. Sealed relays select heavy-duty inductors and capacitors, providing a tracking RF filter that protects the RF amplifier and following stages from strong out-of-band energy.

NSTALLATION AND NTERCONNECTIONS Antenna Considerations The FT 9000 is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ohm resistive impedance at the desired operating frequency. While minor excursions from the 50-Ohm specification are of no consequence, the transceiver’s Automatic 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.

Page 84: Using The Automatic Antenna Tuner
SING THE UTOMATIC NTENNA UNER The Automatic Antenna Tuner (hereinafter referred to as the “ATU”) built into each FT 9000 is crafted to ensure a 50- Ohm load for the final amplifier stage of the transmitter. We recommend that the ATU be used whenever you operate on the 9000.

SING THE UTOMATIC NTENNA UNER About ATU Operation Figure 1 depicts a situation where normal tuning via the ATU has been successfully completed, and the tuning data has been stored in the ATU memory. The antenna system as seen by the transmitter is shown. In Figure 2, the operator has changed frequency, and the HI SWR LED has become illuminated.
Page 86: Lithium Battery Replacement
SING THE UTOMATIC NTENNA UNER The memories for the ATU are backed up by a common Lithium backup battery (type CR2032 or equivalent).

SSB/AM M RANSMISSION (E NHANCING RANSMIT IGNAL UALITY Adjusting the SSB Transmitted Bandwidth For transmission on SSB, a default bandwidth of 2.4 kHz is provided. This bandwidth provides reasonable fidelity along with good talk power, and is typical of the bandwidth used for decades during SSB transmission. However, the bandwidth may be varied by the operator, so as to provide different levels of fidelity or talk power, according to your preferences.
