Customized Option; About Customized Option - Yaesu FT DX 9000 CONTEST - MANUAL 2 Operation Manual

With regard to the FT 9000 Contest, the addition of one or more of the customization options can elevate performance
DX
of the basic transceiver to a higher level. Additionally, you may configure the level of performance that fits the requirements
of your station, as well as your personal tastes and preferences. Because these options are delicate, high-technology de-
vices, please contact WDXC regarding the latest information regarding installation of any options inside your FT
Contest.
Dual Receive Unit (RXU-9000)
The Dual Receive Unit (model RXU-9000) not only
permits simultaneous reception on two frequencies (in
the same band or on different bands), but also it en-
ables Full Duplex operation, whereby you may be trans-
mitting on 20 meters while, simultaneously, receiving
on 40 meters or any band other than 14 MHz. The RXU-
9000 is a fully-equipped replica of the VFO-A, so re-
ception is not compromised when using the VFO-B.
RF μ-Tuning Units
(MTU-160, MTU-80/40, MTU-30/20)
On the 14 MHz and lower bands, the μ-Tuning Units
provide extraordinarily high Q; the resulting steep shape
factor is a powerful aid for reducing off-frequency in-
terference. Separate modules are available for the 1.8
MHz, 3.5/7 MHz, and 10.1/14 MHz bands, and they
may be installed on the Main Receiver only (not in the
RXU-9000).
Thanks to the large (1.1"/28 mm) inductor through
which a stack of ferrite cores is adjusted, the band-
width of the μ-Tuning (±12.5 kHz) provides unmatched
protection for the receiver front end and following cir-
cuits.

Data Management Unit (DMU-9000)/
TFT Display Unit (TFT-9000)
In order to enable the World Clock, Spectrum Scope,
Audio Scope/Oscilloscope, Logbook, Rotator Control,
and Temperature/SWR Status Display functions, you
may install the Data Management Unit (DMU-9000),
which actually is a mini-computer that fits inside your
transceiver. These various functions may then be dis-
played on a user-supplied external display screen, such
as a plasma or TFT display.
Furthermore, if the TFT Display Unit (TFT-9000) is
installed, an external display becomes unnecessary. The
TFT-9000 includes a 6.5", 800 x 480 dot screen which
provides high resolution and easy viewing, as well as
quick access to the control options available on each
TFT display page.
