Weatherfax Monitoring - Yaesu FT-100D Operating Manual

WeatherFax Monitoring
Monitoring ofHF WeatherFax broadcasts is easily accomplished using the FT-IOO.
I. Before proceeding, be certain that the WeatherFax demodulator is properly connected
to Pins 5 and 2 of the rear panel DATA jack.
2. Set the operating mode to USB by pushing the [MODE] key, as needed.
3. Set the transceiver to the VFO mode (unless a WeatherFax channel has been programmed
into a Memory channel). Now, select the operating frequency of the station transmit-
ting the WeatherFax broadcast. Note that, in the USB mode, the frequency you should
program onto the display is typically 1.90 kHz below the station's "assigned" frequency.
Thus for a WeatherFax station assigned to 8.682.0 MHz, tune to 8.680.1 MHz.
4. When the WeatherFax broadcast begins, no further operator intervention should be
needed from the transceiver standpoint. The audio level from the
DATA
jack on the
rear of the transceiver is fixed, and cannot be adjusted.
Fine adjustments in the gray-scale and the frame alignment are accomplished using the
computer and software connected to your WeatherFax demodulator.
