Operation
Panel Up/Down Buttons
Press the large UP and
DOWN buttons below the | DOWN 3)
keypad to step around the (==—*4S—=
band in 100-kHz steps, and
then tune around the band a bit with the tuning
knob.
Microphone Up/Dwn Buttons
If your microphone has UP
and DWN buttons (such as
the MH-31g8), you can press
them momentarily to tune in
10-Hz steps, or hold them to
start VFO scanning. If it has a FST button, you can
use it to duplicate the function of the FAST key on
the transceiver front panel.

VFO Channel Stepping
This feature utilizes the
MEM/VFO CH knob at the upper
MEM/VFO CH
right corner, and is unique be- WE €
cause it allows "channellizing"
the VFO for special applications.
Basically the VFO frequency
steps a discrete value as the
MEM/VFO CH knob is rotated.
Channel steps for this feature are variable in 1
kHz steps from 1 ~ 100 kHz and configured in
menu programming. The versatility of this feature
is not apparent at first - however, if you enjoy
general coverage listening, this capability is in-
valuable.
press in
Many bands such as AM broadcast, HF mari-
time, aeronautical and citizen's band incorporate
assigned channels using discrete frequency
steps. By configuring this feature for the service in
interest, you can hop from one channel to the next
without having to manually zero each station's
signal with the VFO knob.
Channel stepping is activated by first pressing
the MEM/VFO CH knob in, then rotating it as you
would to tune. While enabled, "- - ~- ~" ap-
pears in the channel number display, until the
knob is pressed in again to disable channel step-
ping. Channel stepping is configured by menu
selection 1-5 on page 86; also see General Cov-
erage Reception .
Display Settings
Display Mode - By default, switching to and
from CW, PKT or RTTY modes causes the
display to change by the amount of offset
selected by the CW PITCH (page 39), RTTY,
and PKT tone & offset configurations (pages
53~55). If you prefer the display to remain
unchanged when switching modes, this can
be done by setting menu selection 3-0 to BFO
(carrier) display on page 87. However, the
actual carrier offsets configured by the menu
selections, relative to the display and IF
bandpass are unaffected, regardless of the
setting for menu selection 3-0.
Display Resolution - Although the
FT-1000MP DDS (Direct Digital Synthesizer)
tunes in frequency increments as small as
.625 Hz, display resolution is limited to 10 Hz.
The 10 Hz and 100 Hz digits display can be
turned off, as desired, if smaller frequency
resolution is not needed (tuning steps are not
affected).
Select the desired display resolution via menu
selection 3-1 on page 87.

VFO & Panel Locking Schemes
The locking scheme for the MAIN VFO-A
LOCK button offers three choices. By default,
pressing the LOCK button so that appears
only disables the tuning knob (it still turns, but
does nothing). However, it can disable a//front
panel keys, or else all except the primary
function keys. To select the locking scheme,
recall menu function 8-1 as shown on page
91.
Important! Holding the LOCK button without
releasing it activates the dual VFO tracking
feature, which is discussed later in the
chapter.
