    Ultra-strong Receiver Front End YAESU’s outstanding RF-stage filtering establishes a clean performance that allows the rest of the receiver to perform at a high level. By reducing the ingress of energy from very strong sources like Shortwave Broadcast, local AM/FM/TV stations, and other signal sources, the overall purity of the spectrum delivered to the RF Amplifier first mixer, and subsequent stages is maintained, and the system Blocking Dynamic Range is also enhanced.
  • Page 11 VRF (Variable RF Filter) Preselector Filter (Page 66) On the 18 MHz and higher Amateur bands, and on 1.8 - 50 MHz on the Sub (VFO-B) band, Yaesu’s robust VRF (Variable RF Filter) preselector provides a relay-selected RF selectivity much tighter than that afforded by traditional bandpass filter networks. Sealed relays select heavy-duty inductors and capacitors, providing a tracking RF filter that protects the RF amplifier and following stages from strong out-of-band energy.

    The FT 9000D is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ohm resistive impedance at the desired operating frequency. While minor excursions from the 50-Ohm specification are of no consequence, the transceiver’s Automatic Antenna Tuner may not be able to reduce the impedance mismatch to an acceptable value if the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) present at the Antenna jack is greater than 3:1.

The “My Bands” feature allows you to select several Amateur bands, and make only those bands available for selection via the CLAR/VFO-B tuning knob.

  • Page 56: Band Stack Operation

    The FT 9000D utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, that permits you to store up to three favorite frequencies and modes onto each band's VFO register. For example, you may store one frequency each on 14 MHz CW, RTTY, and USB, then recall these VFOs by successive, momentary presses of the [14] MHz band key. Each Amateur band key may similarly have up to three frequency/mode settings applied.

  • Page 63: Ipo (Intercept Point Optimization)

    IPO I Normally, the front-end FET RF amplifiers provide maximum sensitivity for weak signals. During typical conditions on lower frequencies (where strong signals and high noise are common), the RF amplifiers can be bypassed by pressing the IPO button so that the button's illumination is lit. This improves the IMD (intermodulation distortion) rejection charac- teristics of the receiver, with only a slight reduction of sensitivity.

    Even with the IPO function on, extremely strong local signals or high noise can still degrade reception.

VRF provides outstanding rejection of out-of-band signals, and if low gain in your antenna system causes insertion loss to be a critical factor, you may wish to use VRF, instead of µ-Tune, on the bands below 14 MHz.

    IF SHIFT O SSB/CW/RTTY/PKT/AM M IF Shift allows you to vary the DSP filter passband higher or lower, without changing the pitch of the incoming signal, so as to reduce or eliminate interference. Because the carrier tuning frequency is not varied, there is no need to re-tune the operating frequency when eliminating the interference.

The antenna system as seen by the transmitter is shown. In Figure 2, the operator has changed frequency, and the HI SWR LED has become illuminated. The operator presses and holds in the TUNE switch for two seconds to begin impedance matching using the ATU.

    The memories for the ATU are backed up by a common Lithium backup battery (type CR2032 or equivalent). After two or more years of heavy use, you may notice that the tuner memories are not being maintained, and that you have to re-tune when returning to a frequency on which you had previously stored tuning data.

    SSB/AM M SSB T For transmission on SSB, a default bandwidth of 2.4 kHz is provided. This bandwidth provides reasonable fidelity along with good talk power, and is typical of the bandwidth used for decades during SSB transmission. However, the bandwidth may be varied by the operator, so as to provide different levels of fidelity or talk power, according to your preferences.
