SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Before initiating the installation of your MARK-V FT1000MP transceiver, please take the time to review the following safety guidelines. POWER C ONNECTIONS We strongly recommend that AC power for your MARK-V FT-1000MP be provided only from the supplied FP-29 AC Power Supply, so as to ensure that the voltage and current requirements of the MARK-V FT1000MP are fully met.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ELECTRICAL SHOCK PREVENTION Be certain that all station wiring is properly insulated so as to prevent short-circuits which could damage this transceiver and/or accessories connected to it. Be sure to protect power cables from damage due to abrasion by ensuring that they cannot be walked upon nor crushed under rolling chairs, etc. Never route power cables near sharp metallic edges which might cut through protective insulation.
GENERAL SETUP PRELIMINARY INSPECTION TRANSCEIVER LOCATION Inspect the transceiver upon opening the packing carton. Check that all controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Ensure the accessory fuses and plugs pictured on page 4 are included. If any damage is found, document it completely, and contact the shipping company (or dealer, if you purchased it over-the-counter) right away. Save the packing materials in case you need to return the set for service.
GENERAL SETUP ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS The MARK-V FT-1000MP is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ω resistive impedance at the desired operating frequency. While minor excursions from the 50 Ω 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.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION LINEAR AMPLIFIER INTERFACING The MARK-V FT-1000MP can be used with the optional Yaesu FL-7000 or VL-1000 Linear Amplifier, providing automatic band switching via digital band data output from the BAND DATA jack on the rear panel of the transceiver. Most other amplifiers can be adapted to operate with the MARK-V FT-1000MP; however, the main points to be concerned with are the switching requirements of the amplifier, and if QSK (full break-in) operation is desired.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION LINEAR AMPLIFIER INTERFACING If using an FL-7000, connect optional cable E-767 (P/N D4000019) from the transceiver BAND DATA jack to the amplifier ACC-2 jack. This provides automatic band selection for the linear, as well as QSK Tx/Rx switching control. Turn on the FL-7000 rear panel ATT switch to activate the 3 dB input RF power attenuator, to pad the 200 Watt input power from the MARK-V FT1000MP.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION LINEAR AMPLIFIER INTERFACING Caution - Please Read!! The MARK-V FT-1000MP is designed for use with the FL-7000/VL-1000 when QSK operation with a linear amplifier is desired. If you are using a different amplifier, do not attempt QSK operation with the linear if its switching circuitry requires that the MARK-V FT-1000MP’s relay be enabled.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION TRANSVERTER OPERATION The MARK-V FT-1000MP can be used with the optional Yaesu FTV-1000 50 MHz Transcverter, providing excellent receiver performance and up to 200 Watts of power output. page 14 A FTV-1000 setup is shown below. Refer to the detail regarding the interconnection and operation to the FTV1000 Operating Manual.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION DIGITAL M ODEM (TNC, WEATHER FAX, ETC.) INTERFACING The MARK-V FT-1000MP offers special features for digital modes, such as a built-in digitally-synthesized AFSK generator for RTTY and AMTOR terminal units, IF bandwidth optimization and automatic display offsets, and an 18-ms transmit-to-receive turn-around time. Low-level Main Receiver audio output is provided from the rear-panel RTTY and PKT jacks, and is unaffected by front panel volume control settings.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION DIGITAL M ODEM (TNC, WEATHER FAX, ETC.) INTERFACING Construct a patch cable or cables to make the necessary connections between your TNC and the appropriate rear panel jack(s) (RTTY for FSK, PACKET for AFSK). Refer to the pin-out diagram below, and the wiring instructions included with your TNC. A description of the PACKET jack’s individual pins follows: Pin 1 (DATA IN) - Connect this pin to your TNC’s “AFSK Out” or “Mic Audio” output line.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION DIGITAL M ODEM (TNC, WEATHER FAX, ETC.) INTERFACING CAUTION!! The MARK-V FT-1000MP cooling system is designed to handle continuous duty transmission at 200 watts output. However, for continuous-duty digital modes like RTTY, we recommend limiting your transmissions to 3 minutes or less, with at least 3 minutes receive in between transmissions. Place your hand on the transceiver occasionally to ensure that it’s not getting too hot, and try to keep power output at 100 watts or less.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION DIGITAL M ODEM (TNC, WEATHER FAX, ETC.) INTERFACING NOTE: C OMPUTER-G ENERATED RFI When using a TNC connected to your transceiver, or even having a PC located in the shack, the possibility exists that you may experience computer-generated RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). The CPU in a personal computer operates with a crystal-controlled oscillator (clock) and timing circuits. Common clock frequencies include 8, 12, 16, 20 and 25 MHz.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION OTHER DIGITAL/R ECORDING DEVICE INTERFACING CW KEY/PADDLE AND COMPUTER KEYING INTERFACE SUGGESTIONS AF OUT JACK F EATURES This is a 3.5 mm miniature stereo phone jack which provides constant-level (100 mV @ 600 Ω) for connection to a WeatherFax decoder, tape recorder, or other accessory.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION ANTENNA CONNECTIONS The MARK-V FT-1000MP’s three antenna connectors, plus innovative microprocessor-based memory and switching circuits, provide excellent flexibility in setting up your antenna connections. Typical antenna configurations are shown below. Remember that Antenna A and Antenna B (which are “SO-239” or “M” connectors) may be used for transmission and reception, while the RX Antenna port (which is an “RCA” type connector) may only be used for reception.
ACCESSORY INSTALLATION PERSONAL COMPUTER INTERFACING FOR CONTEST SOFTWARE, ETC. The MARK-V FT-1000MP features a built-in level converter, allowing direct connection from the rearpanel CAT jack to the serial port of your computer, without the need for any external converter box. When your software requests serial port configuration information, set it for “4800,N,8,2” (4800 baud, No Parity, 8 Data Bits, and 2 Stop Bits).
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. POWER Button This button turns the transceiver on and off. 2. MOX & VOX Buttons [MOX] may be used in place of a microphone PTT switch or CW key to activate the transmitter, when depressed. It must be in the undepressed position for reception. [VOX] enables automatic voice-actuated transmitter switching in the SSB, AM and FM modes, and “semibreak-in” keying in CW mode. The controls affecting VOX operation are located in the top access panel.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 8. AF GAIN RF GAIN Knob The inner AF GAIN control adjusts the audio volume of the main receiver VFO in the speaker or headphones. The outer RF GAIN control adjusts the receiver signal level in front of the main receiver 1st mixer (via PIN diodes), and also the gain of the main receiver IF amplifiers. It is normally set fully clockwise for maximum sensitivity. When rotated counter-clockwise, the S-meter minimum deflection point will move up the scale.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 19. EDSP Filters (A) APF Selects and indicates the bandwidth for the EDSP CW audio peaking filter. Pressing the [APF] switch selects the bandwidth to be used for the EDSP CW audio peaking filter, with available selections of 240(Hz)/ 120(Hz)/60(Hz)/DATA (DATA is an optimized bandwidth for FAX, PACKET or SSTV operation, user-optimized via the Menu), or “OFF,” and the indicator changes according to the bandwidth selected.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 23. MAIN VFO-A Tuning Knob 28. MAIN VFO-A [RX & TX Switch-LED] This large knob adjusts the operating frequency of Main VFO-A (or a recalled memory). Default tuning increments are 10 Hz (100 Hz in AM and FM modes). When the [FAST] button has been pressed, the increments are 10x these sizes. See the table on page 38 for a listing of all available steps. These combination lamp-switches select and indicate the transmit/receive status of the main tuning knob and display.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 33. VFO & Memory Control [A u B] Button: Pressing this button for ½ second (until the double beep) transfers data from the main display (either Main VFO-A or a recalled memory channel) to Sub VFO-B, overwriting any previous contents in the Sub VFO. Use this key to set both Main and Sub Receivers to the same frequency and mode. [A u t B] Button: Pressing this button momentarily exchanges the contents of Main VFO-A (or a recalled memory channel), and Sub VFO-B. No data is lost.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS If the [ENT] key is pressed first, the yellow labels on the keys become effective, for manually entering any frequency one digit at a time; press [SUB(CE)] then [ENT] to enter Sub-VFO frequencies directly. 35. SUB VFO-B [RX & TX Switch-LED] These lamps select and indicate the current status of Sub VFO-B. When the green “RX” lamp is lit, the receiving frequency is under control of SUB VFO-B. When the red “TX” lamp is lit, the transmitting frequency is under control of SUB VFO-B.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 49. NB Button 48. BANDWIDTH Buttons (NOR/NAR1/NAR2) Buttons These three buttons select the 2nd and 3rd IF filters for the receiver (except in the FM mode). The LED inside each button glows red when the corresponding bandwidth is selected. The available 2nd and 3rd IF filters are as follows: Pressing this button activates the IF Noise Blanker, which may help reduce many different types of manmade impulse noise (but not atmospherics).
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 50. [TUNER] Button 52. VRF/MEM CH Knob This is the on/off switch for the MARK-V FT1000MP’s Automatic Antenna Tuner. When the VRF feature is engaged, use this detended knob to tune the passband of the narrow input preselector filter manually for maximum receiver sensitivity (and out-of-band interference rejection). Pressing this button momentarily places the antenna tuner in line between the transmitter final amplifier and the main antenna jack. Reception is not affected.
LCD BARGRAPH METER INDICATIONS 1. S/PO Scale Thirty-one bargraph segments indicate relative received signal strength (one S-unit = 6 dB) from S-0 to S9 +60 dB. On transmit, RF power output from 0 to 400 Watts is displayed. 10. LOCK Front panel tuning knob and/or buttons are locked. 11. GEN This appears whenever general coverage tuning is selected (when tuning outside an amateur band). 2.
LCD BARGRAPH METER INDICATIONS 20. TUNER 29. MEM F This indicator comes on when the automatic antenna tuner (ATU) is activated and in-line. Appears when the memory channel frequency appears in the multi-display panel. 21. WAIT 30. GROUP Appears when the ATU is seeking the best impedance match with the antenna. It also flashes each time the transceiver microprocessor sends frequency update data to the ATU microprocessor (while you tune).
TOP PANEL ACCESS & CONTROLS The following controls are accessible beneath the removable panel on the top half of the transceiver case. Push the slide rearward and pry up the lid to expose the ALC UNIT circuit board and potentiometer controls. Most control settings are preset at the factory for normal operation. Should you desire to change a particular setting, use a small insulated screwdriver to rotate the desired potentiometer. 1.
10. PKT This control adjusts the tuning meter segment indications for Packet center tuning. 11. RTTY This control adjusts the tuning meter segment indications for RTTY center tuning. 12. CW This control adjusts the tuning meter segment indications for CW center tuning. It should be adjusted such that the center segment lights up when your favorite pitch (as set by the CW PITCH control and confirmed by pressing the [SPOT] button) is received.
REAR PANEL CONTROLS & CONNECTORS 1. ANT Coaxial Jacks 5. BACKUP Slide Switch Connect your main antenna(s) here, using a typeM (PL-259) plug and coaxial feedline. These antenna ports are always used for transmission, and also are used for reception unless a separate receive antenna is also used for the main receiver. The internal antenna tuner affects only the antenna(s) connected here, and only during transmission.
REAR PANEL CONTROLS & CONNECTORS 10. PTT Phono Jack 17. +13.8V Phono Jack This input jack may be used to provide manual transmitter activation using a footswitch or other switching device. Its function is identical to the [MOX] button on the front panel. The same line is available at the PACKET and RTTY jacks for TNC control. Open-circuit voltage is +13.5 VDC, and closed-circuit current is 1.5 mA. This output jack provides regulated, separately fused 13.
OPERATION BEFORE STARTING RECEIVING Before plugging in the transceiver, check your installation to make sure your AC voltage is correct, and that your ground and antenna are connected as described in the Installation chapter. Then preset the following controls as indicated: Note: the following procedure assumes the transceiver has not been used before, and not already set for Dual reception.
OPERATION RECEIVING MODE SELECTION Press the [MODE] button (to the left of the main tuning knob) corresponding to the mode you wish to operate - for now, we suggest an SSB mode: USB if you have selected a band above 10 MHz, or LSB otherwise. The green LED in each button indicates the selected band, and a pair of LEDs within the bandwidth panel (to the left of the mode buttons) indicate which IF filter pair is currently selected for that mode.
OPERATION RECEIVING TUNING MARK-V FT-1000MP THE Tuning is accomplished in several ways, with each method having its own advantages; they are: ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ Main & Sub VFO Knob Tuning Shuttle Jog Tuning Panel & Microphone Down/Up keys VFO Channel Stepping VFO Knob Rotating the Main VFO-A knob tunes the transceiver according to the selected tuning step size and encoder tuning rate. Both of these settings are configured via menu selections 1-3 & 1-4 (see page 99).
OPERATION RECEIVING Panel Up/Down Buttons Press the large UP ( p ) and DOWN(q) buttons below the keypad to step around the band in 100-kHz steps, and then tune around the band a bit with the tuning knob. If the “FAST” icon appears on the display, pressing these buttons will cause stepping in 1 MHz increments. Microphone Up/Dwn Buttons If your microphone has UP and DWN buttons, (such as the MH-31B8D) you can press them momentarily to tune in 10-Hz steps, or hold them to start VFO scanning.
OPERATION RECEIVING ALTERNATE VFO OPERATION (“FRONT & REAR •EVFO) If you press the keypad band key for the same band that you are already operating on, the display will shift to a different frequency in the same band (the bottom of the band by default). Pressing the same band key again switches you back to the frequency you were on before. What you have here are two completely independent VFO selections for each band, selectable by each band’s keypad key.
OPERATION RECEIVING SIGNAL TUNING METER INDICATIONS The MARK-V FT-1000MP incorporates several display indications that make tuning stations a simple and accurate task: Tuning Scale - When either CW, RTTY or PKT operation is selected, the tuning meter appears beneath the IC/SWR meter scale, as shown below. For RTTY and Packet, dual segments appear (representing the mark and space tones), and in this case optimum tuning is achieved when even balance and maximum separation between the dual segments occur.
OPERATION RECEIVING EXPANDED TUNING SCALE AM SYNCHRONOUS TUNING The bargraph segment meter above the MAIN VFOA frequency display serves as a triple mode enhanced tuning scale. By default, it displays relative Clarifier offset, and as you rotate the CLAR knob (either Rx or Tx Clarifier), the normally centered marker segment moves left or right, indicating the relative displaced (“clarified”) Rx or Tx frequency from the original. Be sure to see page 49 for more details on Clarifier operation.
OPERATION RECEIVING GENERAL COVERAGE R ECEPTION You may have already noticed that if you tune outside one of the amateur bands (actually, outside of the 500-kHz segment that includes each band), “GEN” appears in a box at the left side of the display. On such frequencies, the transmitter and antenna tuner are disabled. If you try to transmit, “TRANSMIT” will blink. This confirms that transmission has been inhibited by the microprocessor.
OPERATION DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE The MARK-V FT-1000MP includes a wide range of special features to suppress the many types of interference that may be encountered on the HF bands. However, real world interference conditions are constantly changing, so optimum setting of the controls is somewhat of an art, requiring familiarity with the types of interference and the subtle effects of some of the controls.
OPERATION DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE band (for example, tuning from 1.999.99 MHz to 2.000.00 MHz), the higher gain of the “Flat” preamp will cause the background noise to increase suddenly (and decrease again if you tune back inside the 160-meter band). (2) When tuning outside of a high-frequency amateur band (for example, tuning from 28.000.00 MHz to 27.999.
OPERATION DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE N OISE BLANKER Press the [NB] button to activate the IF Noise Blanker. The two noise blanker circuits in the MARKV FT-1000MP are provided for two different types of pulse noise; (A) a narrow-pulse blanker for short pulse noise such as from switching transients, automobile ignitions, and power lines, and (B) a wide pulse blanker for longer duration man-made pulse noise.
OPERATION DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE WIDTH CONTROL We just saw that specific IF filters can be selected to limit the receive bandpass to a pre-set width (essentially the total width of the installed filter). In a crowded band, you ideally want to narrow the bandwidth just to the point where the unwanted signal is attenuated while still retaining enough bandpass to recover the desired station.
OPERATION DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE SHIFT CONTROL NOTCH FILTER The SHIFT control tunes the relative position of the receiver IF passband with respect to the displayed frequency in all modes except FM. The control is detented in the center position, which represents the passband center frequency, which is also the displayed frequency. Turning the control clockwise raises the passband center frequency, while turning the knob counter-clockwise lowers it.
OPERATION DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE CLARIFIER (R X/TX OFFSET TUNING) The three CLAR buttons near the lower right corner of the front panel, and the control just above them, are used to offset either the receive, transmit, or both frequencies from their settings on the main display. The three small numbers in the center of the display (just to the right of the main frequency display) show the current Clarifier offset.
OPERATION DEALING WITH INTERFERENCE When you finish your QSO, remember to press the Clarifier RX button again to turn off the Clarifier. You might also want to clear the offset when done. The MARK-V FT-1000MP has an independent Clarifier for each VFO, on every band, plus one on each of the 99 memories.
OPERATION TRANSMITTING The transmitter can be activated within the 500-kHz segment of any of the HF amateur bands, and from 28 to 30 MHz. When tuned to any other frequency, “GEN” is displayed at the left side of the display, and the transmitter is disabled. However, you are responsible to restrict your transmissions to those frequencies on which you are authorized to operate, per the terms of your amateur license. You should also restrict transmissions to the frequencies for which your antenna is designed.
OPERATION TRANSMITTING If the SWR presented to the transceiver is above 3:1, the tuner will generally not complete the tuning process (although in certain borderline cases, it may actually be able to lower the SWR below 1.5:1). If the pre-tuning SWR is above 3:1, the auto-tuner will not store the tuning settings, under the presumption that corrective antenna work is required.
OPERATION TRANSMITTING Microphone Tone Selection Before setting up the speech processor, set the selector switch on the rear of the MH-31B8D microphone (supplied) for the desired tone characteristic. The “2” setting suppresses low frequencies, providing more “pile-up punch” for DX operating. The “1” setting increases the bass response, important for maximum intelligibility when speaking in a language rich in vowel sounds (such as Japanese).
OPERATION TRANSMITTING VOX Operation (Voice-Actuated T/R Switching Operation) VOX operation allows you to activate the transmitter in any voice mode merely by speaking into the microphone, without having to press the PTT switch. For the VOX circuit to operate properly, three controls in the top access panel must be set to match your microphone and the acoustic environment of your station. Once set, these controls should not require readjustment unless you change your microphone or station location.
OPERATION TRANSMITTING Electronic Keyer Operation ACS (Auto Character Spacing) The built-in electronic keyer offers two iambic modes and a mechanical “bug” keyer emulation. You will need to connect keyer paddles to one of the KEY jacks to use the keyer. This feature improves your CW sending quality by ensuring the inter-character spacing of dots and dashes remains constant.
OPERATION TRANSMITTING Keyer Settings Keyer Dot & Dash Weighting - menu selections 71 and 7-2 adjust the Dot:Space and Dash:Space weighting. Default values are “10” (1:1) for Dot:Space, and “30” (3:1) for Dash:Space. Keyer Delay - For QSK (break-in) CW operation, the switchover time delay from Tx to Rx can be adjusted from 0 seconds (full break-in) to 5.10 seconds (in 10-msec) using menu selection 7-5.
OPERATION TRANSMITTING AM TRANSMISSION DIGITAL MODE OPERATION Transmitter setup for the AM mode is essentially the same as for LSB or USB, except that you must avoid overmodulating, and limit carrier power to 50 watts. This carrier level ensures that sufficient power is available for the voice sideband envelopes. Information regarding connection of your MARK-V FT-1000MP to commonly-available digital-mode modem devices is presented beginning on page 15.
OPERATION TRANSMITTING ing the need for re-tuning or use of the SHIFT control for re-centering. One of four standard tone pairs can be chosen for operation from menu selection 6-5, as desired. The menu display shows the center frequency of the selected tone pair (see the table below for actual mark/space tone combinations). Set the Packet Tone Pair to match the tones generated by your TNC (these are usually set via terminal software or DIP switches - check in your TNC documentation).
OPERATION TRANSMITTING FM T RANSMISSION FM Repeater Operation A separate, dedicated “29 MHz” band is provided on the MARK-V FT-1000MP, allowing you to operate both on 28 MHz in narrow-band modes, and above 29 MHz using narrow-band FM. This relieves you of the need to change all your configurations when switching voice modes. Several features are available for operation on FM repeaters above 29 MHz, which typically use 100-kHz splits.
Operation USING SUB VFO B The Sub VFO works in a similar manner to the Main VFO, with which you should be familiar by now. The Sub VFO provides simple split (transmit/receive) frequency operation via the combination of the MAIN VFO’s RX and TX LED/Buttons and the SUB VFO’s RX and TX LED Buttons, and, more importantly, dualchannel reception via the [DUAL] button. We’ll get into those in a minute, but first let’s look at how to control the Sub VFO.
Operation USING SUB VFO B Balance - The AF GAIN knob adjusts the volume for both the Main and Sub VFOs simultaneously. The small SUB AF now functions as a “balance” control between Main and Sub audio levels. Note - To “reverse” Main and Sub receiver audio at any time, press the [AF REV] button just to the left of the DOWN(q)/UP (p) keys so its LED lights. The functions of the AF GAIN and small SUB AF controls are now switched. Press the button again to return to normal operation.
Operation USING SUB VFO B SPLIT F REQUENCY OPERATION Split Operation Mode Typical split operation involves receiving on the Main VFO-A or a memory channel, and transmitting on the Sub VFO-B. The special case of FM repeater operation uses some features of its own, and is described on page 59.
Operation USING SUB VFO B SIDEBAND D IVERSITY R ECEPTION BANDWIDTH D IVERSITY RECEPTION Here you receive a single AM signal through the two receivers, each receiving the opposite sideband. Skywave-propagated signals often show phase distortion in this mode, but it gives you a view of the entire passband, from which you can then select the best sideband for listening (or for SWL Dx’ing, you may want to listen to both sidebands at the same time, to get the best copy).
Memory Features M EMORY STRUCTURE The MARK-V FT-1000MP contains ninety-nine regular memories, labeled 1-1 through 1-99, nine special programmed limit memories, labeled P1 through P9, and five QMB (Quick Memory Bank) memories, labeled C1~C5. Each stores the Main VFO’s frequency and mode, IF filter selections, Clarifier on/off and offset settings, as well as Repeater Shift status (if appropriate).
Memory Features M EMORY PROGRAMMING Memory programming allows storing your favorite or often-used frequencies into memory channels for long-term storage and quick recall. The MARK-V FT1000MP memories are retained after power-off by a long-life lithium backup battery that should not need to replaced for more than 5 years. Should you expect to not use your transceiver for extended periods, you can switch off the backup battery via the rear panel switch to conserve lithium backup battery life (see page 114).
Memory Features RECALLING & OPERATING To recall a memory stored per the previous section, you first must switch to the “Memory” mode. To do this, while operating on the Main VFO, press [VFO/ MEM]. The last-utilized memory’s contents will appear in the main frequency display field. To return to VFO operation, just press [VFO/MEM] once more; the VFO’s contents will have remained undisturbed.
Memory Features RECALLING & OPERATING ON M EMORY CHANNELS COPYING A SELECTED MEMORY TO VFO-A GROUPING MEMORIES If desired, you can store the frequency and all operational settings for the selected memory channel into the Main VFO. While operating in the Memory mode: The 99 regular memories and PMS memories P1~P9 can be grouped among up to five memory banks, if desired. Memory grouping is configured by menu selections 0-1 through 0-5.
Memory Features RECALLING & OPERATING QMB ( QUICK M EMORY BANK) OPERATION The Quick Memory Bank is comprised of five memories (labeled C1 ~ C5) independent from the regular and PMS memories. These can quickly store operating parameters for later recall. You might find this handy to use when you have tuned a station of interest that you want to save, but don’t want to overwrite your regular or PMS memories, especially if you have them organized a specific way.
Scanning Features VFO SCANNING M EMORY SCANNING You can start scanning on the Main VFO by holding the microphone UP or DWN button for ½ second (the receiver squelch does not have to be closed in this case). To increase the scan speed (x10) press either the microphone FST button (momentary-type) or the front panel [FAST] button. Scanning continues up or down until a button is pushed, or else “loops-around” when the upper or lower receiver limits are reached.
Scanning Features M EMORY SCANNING MEMORY “MASKING• SCAN SKIP DISABLE You may want to hide some memories from operation, to simplify selection of others. To mask a displayed memory, while “MEM” is displayed, press and hold in [A u M] for ½ second until the double beep sounds. But be careful: if you do this instead while “M TUNE” is displayed - that is, after retuning the memory, the retuned data will overwrite the original memory data, but it will not be masked.
Scanning Features PROGRAMMED M EMORY SCANNING PMS M EMORIES P1 ~ P9 To limit scanning (or tuning) to within a particular frequency range, you can use Programmed Memory Scanning (PMS) provided with nine special-purpose memories (P1 ~ P9). First, store the upper and lower frequency limits of the range in a consecutive pair of PMS memories (i.e., P1 & P2, P2 & P3, etc). For example, P2 might contain the lower edge and P3 the upper.
Advanced Features EDSP Enhanced Digital Signal Processing uses A/D (Analog to Digital) and D/A (Digital to Analog) conversion techniques under microprocessor control to achieve significant enhancement of signals at the audio and low-frequency IF levels. The major capabilities offered by EDSP lie in the area of heterodyne/random noise reduction and audio bandpass filtering.
Advanced Features EDSP EDSP FUNCTIONS EDSP RX AUDIO ENHANCEMENT The EDSP circuitry in the MARK-V FT-1000MP allows digital enhancement of both transmitted and received audio. A basic primer on DSP was given to inform you more about this capability than just the panel label and button location. Now you can customize its filtering capabilities and use it to reduce QRM and tailor audio response for each operating mode.
Advanced Features EDSP EDSP NOISE REDUCER EDSP AUTO M ULTIPLE N OTCH FILTER Noise reduction is accomplished by utilization of one of the four settings selected by the front panel [NR] button. Press the [NR] button to toggle between Noise Reduction “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” and “OFF.” Each setting has correlation parameters optimized to reduce random noise, static, pulse/ man-made noise and heterodynes, with little degradation of the desired signal.
Advanced Features EDSP The two Notch circuits may be enabled and/or disabled using menu selection 2-9. It is important to take note of the selection options available: IF NOTCH - Manual IF notch operation using the front panel knob with the same name. The EDSP notch is not accessible in this mode. AUTO DSP - When EDSP is engaged (the green “EDSP” LED is lit), the [NOTCH] button serves as an On/Off switch for the EDSP auto-notch filter.
Advanced Features REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION INTRODUCTION I. CONTEST K EYER CONTROL You can select and activate various transceiver functions via the optional FH-1 Remote Control Keypad (available from your Yaesu dealer) connected to the REMOTE jack on the rear panel of the transceiver. The MARK-V FT-1000MP includes a contest memory keyer which includes a number of automated features which reduce operator fatigue during long hours of contest operating.
Advanced Features REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION 1. Contest Number Memory The [#] key allows storage of a message of up to 20 characters in length. Within this message, a contest sequential serial number may be imbedded during the programming process by sending “???” (three Question Marks) in the place where the contest number is desired. The Question Marks should be separated only by a letter space, not by a word space.
Advanced Features REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION back in this mode; the contest number only increments if the message is sent over the air. Remember, if pressing the [MONI] key, then a memory playback key, has no effect, you probably have the [MONI] button pushed in. De-activate the RF keying monitor to allow yourself to hear the stored message. 6.
Advanced Features REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION II. VFO/M EMORY CONTROL Menu selection 7-9 also allows utilization of the Remote Control Keypad for VFO and Memory control. The front panel [VFO(MEM)], [A u B], [A u t B], [M u A], [ M ] [ u ] [ ] [ ] [ CK , A M , RCL , STO and DUAL] keys, and VRF/ MEM CH knob are duplicated on the Remote Control Keypad. III.
Advanced Features USER-CUSTOMIZED OPERATING M ODE OVERVIEW This mode recalls a pre-configured operating “environment” (mode, filter selections, offsets, etc.) by pressing and hold in the [PKT] key on the front panel. This can be useful for storing your favorite combination of operational settings for a mode you often use. Digital operators who go through the various procedures of combining filter selections, carrier and display offsets, etc.
Advanced Features OPTIONAL DVS-2 DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER OVERVIEW DVS-2 Controls The DVS-2 is a digital voice recorder designed especially for SSB, AM, and FM operation with newer model Yaesu transceivers having a special jack for connection of the DVS-2 on the rear panel.
Advanced Features OPTIONAL DVS-2 DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER MESSAGE RECORDING PLAYBACK (FROM MAIN OR SUB RECEIVER AUDIO) When used in this mode, the DVS-2 maintains a continuous recording of the last (approximately) 16 seconds of audio from either the main or sub-receiver. This can be particularly helpful in picking out callsigns during a pileup, as you can replay the same recording as often as you like (until you record over it).
Advanced Features OPTIONAL DVS-2 DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER r Get your microphone ready, and then press the [MEMO] button (the yellow “REC” LED will blink). r Now press the numbered key for the segment (or segment pair) to record (only [1 ] or [2] for the 8second mode), and start talking (do not press the PTT switch unless you want to transmit at the same time you are recording). The “REC” LED will stop blinking and stay on for the recording period (4 or 8 seconds), and then turn off.
Advanced Features PHONE PATCH OPERATION OVERVIEW Phone patch operation allows linking your MARKV FT-1000MP to the public telephone line to provide two-way simplex communications for MARS operation, or on behalf of a third parties. The MARK-V FT-1000MP may be used with the LL-7 phone patch unit installed in the optional SP-8 external loudspeaker, or with phone patch units from other manufacturers.
Advanced Features TUNING M ETER RE-CALIBRATION The multi-function meter offers either flashing single or dual segments to indicate properly tuned CW or FSK (RTTY/PKT) stations. An explanation of tuning indications is on page 42. CW TUNING From the factory, the single CW tuning segment is calibrated (centered) for the default CW Pitch setting of 700 Hz. If you change the CW Pitch (page 56) to other than 700 Hz, you should re-calibrate the meter so that station center-tuning will match the new CW Pitch.
CAT System Computer Control OVERVIEW CAT DATA PROTOCOL The CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) System in the MARK-V FT-1000MP provides control of frequency, VFO, memory, and other settings such as dualchannel memories and diversity reception using an external personal computer. This allows multiple control operations to be fully automated as single mouse clicks or keystroke operations on the computer keyboard. Serial data is passed via the CAT jack on the rear panel of the transceiver at 4800 bits/sec.
CAT System Computer Control CONSTRUCTING AND SENDING CAT COMMANDS Example #1: Set Main VFO-A to 14.25000 MHz; Example #2: Activate a RX Clarifier Offset of +3.5 kHz. r First determine the opcode for the desired instruction by referring to the CAT Commands Table. A good idea would be to store these opcodes within the program, so they can be looked up when the user requests the corresponding command. r Here the instruction is “Set Main VFO Frequency,” so the opcode (last byte of the block) is 0AH.
CAT System Computer Control DOWNLOADING MARK-V FT-1000MP DATA On command, the MARK-V FT-1000MP will download some or all (1,863 bytes) of its operational data. This data block contains all current transceiver settings. In addition, the current meter indication (Tx or Rx) is read, digitized and returned as well. This provides a wealth of information in near real-time that can be processed by your program or the running application for control purposes or display readouts.
CAT System Computer Control STATUS UPDATE DATA ORGANIZATION 1863-Byte Status Updata Data (sent L-to-R) Status Flags 6 byte (A) Memory Operating Channel No.
CAT System Computer Control SELECTING UPDATE DATA TO DOWNLOAD 1-BYTE M EMORY CHANNEL NUMBER DATA STRUCTURE As mentioned before, there are four opcodes that cause the MARK-V FT-1000MP to report (update) its operating status by downloading all or a portion of its 1,863 data bytes. These opcodes are shaded in the CAT Commands table (pages 94 ~ 97). This identifies the current or last-selected memory channel 1 ~ 99, P1 ~ P5 or QMB 1 ~ 5 for operation.
CAT System Computer Control 16-BYTE DATA RECORD STRUCTURE The following tables outline the 16-byte data record structure common to the Operating Data, VFO-A, VFOB and Memory Data records. The table below shows assignments for each of the 16-bytes in the Operating Data Record.
CAT System Computer Control 16-BYTE DATA RECORD STRUCTURE A value of 1100 0001 1001 0001 (the 2-s complement of the previous example) produces a minus offset of -9989.375 Hz. See the byte chart below for a breakdown of the conversion process. Clarifier Offset Data Bytes (5-6) Byte 5 Byte 6 1* 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1* (flag) 100000110010001 = 4191H = 16,785 16,785 x 0.625 = (–) 9989.
CAT System Computer Control CODING EXAMPLES Although Yaesu Musen does not provide CAT control software (owing to the large variety of computers and operating systems used by our customers), the following are a few examples of critical CAT I/O functions, in Basic. Note that all variations of Basic may not support some of the commands, in which case alternate algorithms may need to be developed to duplicate the functions of those shown.
