Setting the Transverter Frequency Offset
You may set up the frequency display so that it shows the
frequencies of the transverter operating band (instead of
the 28 MHz band frequencies used as the “IF” on your
FT
DX
5000 ).
Example : Setting up the FT
DX
5000 display for use with a
144 MHz Transverter
1. Connect the 144 MHz transverter to the FT
DX
5000 .
2. Press the [ MENU
] button briefly, to enter the Menu
mode.
3. Rotate the ( VFO-A
)[
SELECT
] knob to select the
Menu item which designates the input frequency band
from the transverter (
040 GENE TRV 14M , 041
GENE TRV 28M , or 042 GENE TRV 50M ).
4. Rotate the ( VFO-B
)[
SELECT
] knob to select
“
44MHz 44MHz 44MHz 44MHz 44MHz
” on the display.
5. Press and hold the [ MENU
] button in for at least two
seconds to save the new setting and exit.
The “100 MHz” digit of the frequency is not displayed,
so when you are operating on 2 meters and see “45
MHz” on the frequency readout, this indicates “145
MHz” instead.
A
DVICE
:
With the setup described above, tuning the actual operat-
ing range of the
FT
DX
5000
will correspond to transverter
operating frequency of 144-145 MHz, with “44-45” being
displayed on the front panel of the transceiver.
