General information
bright, colorful fluorescent discharge display. A
multi-display meter features delayed "peak-hold"
segments and a directional tuning meter to assist
in zeroing-in stations, regardless of mode. The
new expanded tuning scale lets you view relative
clarifier offset or sub-incremental tuning (0.625-,
1.25, 2.5- or 5-kHz steps).
Station size is kept to a minimum with the
compact internal AC switched-mode power sup-
ply, built-in automatk antenna tuner and elec-
tronic CW keyer. The full-featured keyer has two
iambic keying modes, a "bug" emulator, adjust-
able weighting and ACS (Automatic Character
Spacing) circuit to improve your CW sending.
Superb receiver performance is a result of di-
rect lineage from the legendary FT-1000D. New
technology Direct Digital Synthesizers (two 10-bit
and three 8-bit) are used in the local oscillator (all
driven by a single TCXO master oscillator), result-
ing in extremely fine tuning with thirteen select-
able tuning steps down to 0.62% Hz. Select either
flat or tuned front end RF amplification (using four
FETs in a double push-pull, constant-gain stage),
direct feed to the mixer with IPO (Intercept Point
Optimization), and three levels of RF attenuation
in 6-dB steps.
Two VFOs allow simultaneous reception and
display of two different frequencies, even in differ-
ent modes and with different IF bandwidths. Re-
ceiver audio can be cor-npletely or partially mixed,
or monitored separately in each ear. With inde-
pendent bandwidth and mode selection for each
receiver, plus an option for separate antennas,
diversity reception is possible when both VFBs
are tuned to the same frequency.
To battle QRM, the FT-1000MP comes
equipped with a formidable defense. Fine tailoring
of the IF passband is made possible with individu-
ally-selected, cascaded 2nd & 3rd crystal filter
banks. World-renowned Collins mechanical 500-
Hz CW filters are available as options for the Sub
Receiver 2nd IF, and Main Receiver 3rd IF strip.
An IF notch filter and concentric IF shift and width
controls are also provided. The IF width circuit
now allows continuously narrowing receiver pass-
band by selectively moving either the upper or
lower filter skirt just as much as needed to reduce
QRM while still preserving valuable bandwidth.
Yaesu's new EDSP (Enhanced Digital Signal
Processing) system provides four random-noise
reduction settings, selectable band pass filtering
with adjustable low and high-cutoff skirts, and
transmitted audio enhancement with four voice
response equalization schemes. In addition,
EDSP provides an automatic notch filter that iden-
tif ies and attenuates heterodynes as they appear.
Separate keys are also provided for band se-
lection, and each band key accesses two sub-
band VFO freq~ency/mode/filter settings Per
band, so you can keep separate VFO settings for
two different parts of the band, on all bands. In
addition, 99 scannable memories are provided,
each of which stares its own mode and IF filter
selection, in addition
to
frequency, clarifier offset,
and scan status. In addition, five quick-recall
memories can instantly store operational settings
at the push of a button. VFO, band, and memory
scanning now have three scan resume modes
and an auto-write feature that stores active chan-
nel in memories as they are found. The built-in
automatic antenna tuner includes 39 memories of
its own, automatically storing antenna matching
settings for quick automatic recall later. Of course
the front panel keypad can also be used to key in
operating frequencies directly
A user-customization key allows recalling pre-
configured parameters for often-used operating
setups, or unique operating modes such as FAX
and SSTV. The special remote control jack allows
push-button control of the full-featured program-
mable CW contest memory keyer, transceiver re-
mote operation and direct frequency entry. CW
enthusiasts can take advantage of the CW re-
verse sideband selection, and s h o w a v e Iisten-
ers will enjoy the AM synchronous tuning mode.
The Yaesu CAT system provides a direct link to
the transceiver CPU for computer control and
customization of tuning, scanning and other oper-
ating functions. The FT-I OOOMP now includes a
built-in data level converter for direction connect
to a personal computer serial port. Special op-
tions for the FT-1000MP include the TCXO-4/6
Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator
modules and a wide selection of IF filters to com-
plement the eight already installed as standard.
External options include the DVS-2 Digital Voice
Recorder and SP-8 External Loudspeaker with
optional LL-7 Phone Patch module; the YH-
77STA Stereo Headset; and the M D - 1 0 0 ~ 8 ~
Desktop Microphone.
Before connecting power, please read the In-
stallation section carefully, heeding the warnings
in that section to avoid damage to the set. After
installation, please take time to work through the
Operation chapter, referring to the Controls &
Connectors chapter as necessary for details.
