Operation; Repeater Operation - Yaesu FTDX9000D Operation Manual

The FT DX 9000D may be utilized on 29 MHz and 50 MHz repeaters.
1. Rotate the Main tuning Dial to the output frequency
(downlink) from the repeater.
2. If CTCSS Tone operation is desired/needed, press and
hold in the FM Mode key for two seconds to en-
gage the CTCSS mode.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to select the desired
CTCSS mode. If you just need to send the uplink en-
coding tone, select "tn." For encode/decode opera-
tion, choose "ts" instead.
The available choices are
"OFF" © "tn" © "ts" © "OFF."
4. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob to select the desired
CTCSS Tone to be used. A total of 50 standard CTCSS
tones are provided (see the CTCSS Tone Chart).
5. Press the FM Mode key to selec the desired repeater
shift direction.
The selections are
"S" © "+" © "−" © "S"
where "S" represents "Simplex" operation (not used
on a repeater).
6. Press and hold in the FM Mode key for two sec-
onds to exit from the repeater setup mode.
7. Close the microphone's PTT switch (or press the
MOX switch) to begin transmission. You will ob-
serve that the frequency has shiftd to correspond to
the programming you set up in the previous steps.
Speak into the microphone in a normal voice level,
and release the PTT or MOX switch to return to the
receive mode.
Advice
The conventional repeater shift used on 29 MHz is 100
kHz, while on the 50 MHz band the shift may vary be-
tween 500 kHz and 1.7 kHz (or more). To program the
proper repeater shift, use Menu items MODE-FM 060
RPT SHIFT (28 MHz) and 061 RPT SHIFT (50 MHz),
as appropriate.
You may also use "Tone Squelch" whereby your receiver will be kept silent until an incoming signal bearing a
matching CTCSS tone is receiver. Your receiver's squelch will then open in response to the reception of the required
tone.
1. Rotate the Main tuning Dial to the output frequency
(downlink) from the repeater.
2. Press and hold in the FM Mode key for two sec-
onds to engage the CTCSS mode.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial to choose "ts."
The available choices are
"OFF" © "tn" © "ts" © "OFF."
4. Rotate the CLAR/VFO-B knob to select the de-
sired CTCSS Tone to be used. A total of 50 stan-
dard CTCSS tones are provided (see the CTCSS
Tone Chart).
5. Press and hold in the FM Mode key for two sec-
onds. On the display, just below the "1 Hz" fre-
quency digit, a small "d" will indicate that the Tone
Decoder is engaged.
