hear the difference in sound quality as you make changes.
When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit is connected, you may verify
the effect of your adjustments of the transmitted bandwidth by observing the Audio
Scope on the “Oscilloscope” page.
Quick Points:
The higher fidelity associated with wide bandwidth will be particularly enjoyable
on the low bands, during local rag-chew QSOs.
The “3000” setting is a special hi-fidelity setting, whereby the transmitted
bandwidth is in excess of 3 kHz. This selection, in conjunction with judicious
adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer (see next chapter) can provide
truly outstanding fidelity and very natural-sounding audio.
When using the wider bandwidth selections (especially “3000”), the apparent power
output from the transmitter may seem lower. This is because the available power
from the transmitter is being distributed over a wider bandwidth, and the power
detection circuitry does not compensate for the effect of the bandwidth selection (it
is calibrated in the default 2.4 kHz bandwidth).
Parametric Microphone Equalizer (SSB/AM mode)
The FT-2000 includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer, that
provides precise, independent control over the low-, mid-, and treble-ranges in your
voice wave-form.
Quick Point:
The Parametric Equalizer is a unique technique for adjusting the signal quality.
Because the three ranges may be adjusted so precisely, it is possible to craft a response
that provides a more natural and pleasant sound than you have ever experienced
before.
The aspects of configuration that you may adjust on the Parametric Equalizer are:
Center Frequency: The center frequency of each of the three bands may be
adjusted.
Gain:
The amount of enhancement (or suppression) within each band
may be adjusted.
Q:
The bandwidth over which the equalization is performed may
be adjusted.
