Using The Fix (Fixed) Mode - Yaesu FTDX9000 - DATA MANAGEMENT Operation Manual

This feature is convenient when you want to monitor an entire amateur band.
The starting point, located at the left edge of the screen, can be set via the Menu. Even if the screen span
(bandwidth) is changed, the start frequency will not be changed. By watching the screen, you can move your
operation to frequencies where interesting activity appears on the display. Just as with the CTR mode, it is
possible to toggle the Main (VFO-A) or Sub (VFO-B) VFOs. It is also possible to utilize a dual display, with the
Main (VFO-A) VFO in the upper position, and the Sub (VFO-B) VFO below.
1. By pressing the [ 7/18 ]( CTR/FIX ) key, it is pos-
sible to switch between the CTR mode and the
FIX mode. Select the CTR mode at this time.
2. Press the [ 2/3.5 ]( SPAN ) key to set the desired
value for the Span (bandwidth). By pressing the
[ 2/3.5 ]( SPAN ) key, the span will change as fol-
lows.
25 kHz 50 kHz
500 kHz 1000 kHz
3. Press the [ 3/5 ]( ATT ) key to set the desired at-
tenuation value. By pressing the [ 3/5 ]( ATT ) key,
the attenuation will change as follows.
0 dB 10 dB 20 dB
4. Press the [ 4/7 ]( A/B ) key to toggle between the
Main (VFO-A) and Sub (VFO-B) VFOs.
5. Press the [ 5/10 ]( DUAL ) key to engage dual spec-
tral display.
The Main VFO will appear in the upper display
field, and the Sub VFO will appear in the lower.
If the receive frequency is outside of the screen,
the position of the operating frequency will be
"shown" in the lower area of the display as "<<"
">>", and " RCV Freq is out of range RCV Freq is out of range
RCV Freq is out of range RCV Freq is out of range RCV Freq is out of range
displayed.
Press the [ MNU ] key momentarily to enter the
Menu mode. Select the item which you want to
change by rotating the Main dial (in this case, the
items will be in the range from "SCOPE 112 MAIN
FIX 1.8 MHz" to "SCOPE 133 SUB FIX 50MHz").
Now you may change the setting by rotating the
Sub dial.
When the change(s) are completed, press and hold
in the [ MNU ] key for 2 seconds to save the change.

Advice:In the case of the Contest version, the [ RX ]
switch to the left of the [ CLAR/VFO-B ] knob will, when
pushed, cause both the VFO itself and the Spec-
trum Scope display to change to VFO-B. Addition-
ally, when the optional RXU-9000 Dual Receive Unit
is installed, you may use the [ 5/10 ]( DUAL ) key to
enable Dual-band Spectrum Scope operation, just
like on the MP version.
