1. Set up the
FT
DX
5000
for transverter use, as described
previously.
2. Choose the “Transverter” band with the “MY Bands”
procedures as described on page 46. You may find the
“Transverter” band between the “1.8 MHz” and “50
MHz” Bands.
3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to set the desired
operating frequency. Operation is basically unchanged
from normal transceiver operation.
A
DVICE
:
When the “Transverter” mode is turned on, TX power out-
put will not be allowed to pass to the “ANT 1” through
“ANT 4” main antenna jacks. So one of these may be con-
nected to your transverters “RX” jack. Just be certain to
disconnect the transverter when returning to HF opera-
tion, as the selected antenna jack will now be capable of
passing RF power.
