3. ANT 1/2 Jacks
Connect your main antenna(s) here, using a type-M (PL-259) plug and coaxial feedline
for each. These antenna ports are always used for transmission, and also are used for
reception unless a separate receive antenna is also used for the receiver. The internal
antenna tuner affects only the antenna(s) connected here, and only during
transmission. These connectors utilize Teflon
®
insulation for extreme durability and to
ensure stable impedance over the entire frequency range.
4. DC OUT
This is DC power output of the transceiver. Connect this pigtail to the DC IN Jack of
the transceiver.
5. ~AC IN Jack
Connect the supplied 3-wire AC line cord to this socket after ensuring that your AC
mains voltage matches that on the label. See the Installation section for instructions on
how to change the internal switching power supply AC mains voltage, if necessary.
6. FUSE
This holder requires a 10-A fuse for operation from AC voltages below 125 V, and a 6-A
fuse for AC voltages of 200 V and above.
7. Main Power Switch
This is main power On (I)/Off (O) switch of the FT-2000. Always turn this switch on
before turning on the front panel’s [POWER] button.
If this switch is not turned On, the front panel [POWER] switch will not function.
8. GND
Use this terminal to connect the transceiver to a good earth ground, for safety and
