Further, the excellent dynamic range and IP3 characteristics optimize the processing of all signals ranging from faint to powerful. * The 300 Hz roofing filter is also standard equipment on the MAIN band side of the FTDX101MP. Adopts 3DSS/Hybrid Dual SDR Display In addition to the conventional waterfall display, a 3DSS (3 Dimensions Spectrum Stream) image method has been newly adopted.

Reliable High-output Final Amplifier Stage FTDX101MP (200W) power amplifier utilizes push-pull VRF150 MOS FET devices, operating at 50V, with excellent linearity, low distortion and high voltage tolerance. By optimizing the bias circuit for the optimal operating points, a high-quality and stable output with low distortion is realized.

Installation and Interconnections Antenna Considerations The FTDX101MP/FTDX101D is designed to connect to a 50 Ohm resistive impedance antenna at the Amateur operating frequencies. Select an appropriate antenna (dipole antenna, YAGI antenna, cubical quad antenna, etc.) that is suitable for the chosen operation and bands.
Use the DC power cable supplied with the FTDX101MP to make the power connection to the FPS-101 power supply. • Connect the FTDX101MP and FPS-101 with the supplied speaker cable so audio can be output from the FPS-101’s built-in speaker.
Do not slack Do not excessively place the cord clamp Do not slack near the FTDX101MP or FPS-101. • FTDX101D Carefully follow the illustrations regarding the proper connection of the DC power cable. Use the DC power cable supplied with the FTDX101D to make the power connections to the power sup- ply.

Installation guidelines • Do not expose the transceiver to direct sunshine. • Do not expose the transceiver to dust or high humidity. • Ensure adequate ventilation around the transceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible reduction of performance due over heating. • Do not install the transceiver in a mechanically unstable location, or where objects may fall onto it from above. • When installing the FTDX101MP and FPS-101, be careful not to forcibly bend or pull the power cable. • Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cable. • Do not use a power cable other than the one that is provided. • To minimize the possibility of interference to home entertainment devices, take all precautionary steps including separation of TV/FM antennas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the greatest extent pos- sible. Keep the transmitting coaxial cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment de- vices. • Make sure to turn the transceiver OFF and disconnect all cables before moving the FTDX101MP or FPS-101. • The AC Power Cord connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection. A socket-outlet with earthing connection shall connect to protective earthing conductor. Caution Be sure that both the transceiver Front Panel POWER switch and the FPS-101 Main Power switch are both turned OFF any time you plug or unplug the power cable to the FTDX101MP and FPS-101. This will avoid potentially damaging electrical spikes and electrical shock. When disconnecting the power cable, hold the connector, press the lock tab to release it and pull the plug from the connector. Pulling the power cable without releasing the lock may cause a failure.

The Voice Memory may be operated from the Display Panel, or from the optional FH-2 Remote Control Keypad, which plugs into the rear panel REM jack.

Using the Automatic Antenna Tuner The Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU) is built into each FTDX101 series. The ATU is designed to ensure that a 50-Ohm antenna impedance load is presented to the final amplifier stage of the transmitter. • Because the FTDX101 ATU is located inside transceiver, it can only adjust the impedance presented to the transceiver end of the coaxial cable feedline. It does not “tune” the SWR at the antenna feed point itself.
Page 62
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 SWR as seen by the transmitter is shown. In Figure 2, the operator has changed frequency, and the “HI-SWR” icon has appeared. The operator presses and holds in the TUNE button for one second to begin impedance matching using the ATU.

Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) To limit scanning (and manual tuning) to a particular frequency range, the Programmable Memory Scan- ning (PMS) feature utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“M-P1L/M-P1U through M-P9L/ M-P9U). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.
