FT-2000
Operating Manual
Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

For HF operation, SSB-based Data operation is generally used. One press of
the [PKT] button will engage Packet operation in the “LSB” mode (by default).
Both the “PKT” and “LSB” LEDs will become illuminated.
If you need to do FM-based 1200-baud packet on the 29/50 MHz bands, press
the [PKT] button several times to illuminate the ‘PKT” LED to orange, to
engage the “PKT-FM” mode.
When both the “PKT” and “USB” LEDs will become illuminated, the FT-2000
engage Packet operation in the “USB” mode.
2. When the “transmit” command is received from the TNC, the transmitter of the
FT-2000 will automatically be engaged. Likewise, the command to return to
receive will cause the radio to revert to the receive mode.
If you need to adjust the output level from the “DATA OUT” pin of the
[PACKET] jack (pin 4) on the radio, please do so at the TNC side. For the
input level from the TNC, as applied to the DATA IN pin of the [PACKET] jack
(pin 1), please use Menu item “066 dAtA OUT LVL.”
During Packet operation via the rear panel’s [PACKET] jack, the front panel
MIC jack is cut off, so you won’t have a “live microphone” problem during data
operation.
Note:
If you anticipate making data transmissions of longer than a few minutes, we
recommend that you use the [RF PWR] knob to reduce the transmitter power to 1/3 ~
1/2 of its normal maximum.
