MIC RF PWR Knobs
MIC Knob
The inner [ MIC ] knob adjusts the microphone input
level for (non-processed) SSB transmission.
A :
If you adjust the MIC Gain while speaking in a some-
what-louder-than-normal voice level, watch the ALC
level and adjust the MIC Gain so that the ALC reaches
just to the right edge of the ALC scale. Then, when
you speak in a more normal voice level, you'll be cer-
tain not to be over-driving the mic amplifier stage.
RF PWR Knob
The outer [ RF PWR ] knob is the main RF Power out-
put control for the transceiver, active in all operating
modes. Clockwise rotation increases the power out-
put. Adjust this control for the desired power output
from the FT-2000.

VOX DELAY Knobs
VOX Knob
The inner [ VOX ] knob sets the gain of the VOX cir-
cuit, to set the level of microphone audio needed to
activate the transmitter during voice operation while
the [ VOX ] switch is engaged. The [ VOX ] switch must
be switched "ON" to engage the VOX circuit.
DELAY Knob
The outer [ DELAY ] knob sets the hang time of the
VOX circuit for voice operation and keying delay for
CW operation.
During voice operation, this knob sets the hang time,
between the moment you stop speaking, and the auto-
matic switch from transmit back to receive. Adjust this
for smooth VOX operation, so the receiver is only ac-
tivated when your transmission is ended and you wish
to receive.
For CW operation, this knob sets the keying delay,
between the moment you stop sending, and the auto-
matic switch from transmit back to receive during
"Semi-break-in" operation. Adjust this just long enough
to prevent the receiver from being restored during word
spaces at your preferred sending speed.
