General Description
Congratulations on the purchase of your
Yaesu amateur transceiver! Whether this is your
first rig, or if Yaesu equipment is already the
backbone of your station, rest assured that your
transceiver will provide many hours of operating
pleasure for years to come.
We want you to feel that you are now a part of
the Yaesu Team; after all, we also share the excit-
ing hobby of amateur radio communications you
do. In fact, Yaesu Musen's history in Amateur
Radio goes back to 1959, being the first to intro-
duce and manufacture quality, high-performance
SSB transceivers for the amateur market. Yaesu
Musen also manufactures a broad range of high-
quality commercial equipment that public serv-
ices, businesses, and mariners depend on every
day.
Following the same tradition of excellence and
innovation into the twenty-first century, Yaesu
Musen paves the way, incorporating the latest
microprocessor and RF technology in our com-
munications equipment. Yaesu transceivers have
scaled mountains, crossed storm-tossed oceans,
and even orbited Earth. Some Yaesu equipment
are legends in themselves, such as the classic
FT-101, and the industry standard of excellence,
the FT-1000D. Each Yaesu model is the result of
extensive research, design, and development.
Most Yaesu engineers are also licensed ama-
teurs, and they design transceivers with operators
in mind. The product of this combined effort is
evident in Yaesu equipment's rugged construc-
tion, comfortable operation, and of course, high
performance.
But the effort doesn't stop here. With the pro-
gression of amateur radio along with the high-
technology race, each transceiver incorporates a
wealth of operating features to help you "keep up
with the crowd." User-friendly controls and pro-
gramming let you easily manage your new oper-
ating capabilities, with just a few simple
keystrokes!
Along with the philosophy that each Yaesu
transceiver should serve you well into the future,
Yaesu stands behind our products with a world-
wide network of dealers and service centers. Feel
free to contact us if you ever need technical ad-
vice or assistance.
The FT-1000MP is an advanced, state-of-the-
art amateur transceiver incorporating a multitude
of new and advanced operating features provid-
ing competitive operation in all modes. The FT-
1000MP offers dual-VFO reception and
adjustable transmitter power output of up to 100
watts on all HF amateur radio bands (25 watts
carrier in AM mode). Anew evolution in tuning has
begun with the new shuttle jog ring that allows
large or small frequency excursions with a slight
turn of the wrist — fast, precise tuning with no more
tiresome cranking.
Most of the transceiver's advanced features
and settings are now viewed and selectable from
within the menu programming system, which is
easily recalled from the front panel — no more
power-on sequences, DIP switch settings, or
elaborate push-button combinations for your cus-
tom settings. Operating frequency and other im-
portant settings for both VFOs are viewed on a
