LED will glow Green.
Advice:
If you press the [MAIN RX] button when the imbedded LED is already glowing
Green, the LED will now blink on and off; this indicates that the Main (VFO-A)
receiver is temporarily muted. Just press the [MAIN RX] button once more to
restore Main (VFO-A) receiver operation.
Press the [SUB RX] button to engage Dual Reception (using the Sub (VFO-B)
receiver in addition to the Main (VFO-A) receiver). When you press the [SUB
RX] button, its imbedded LED will glow green; pressing this button once more
will turn off the Sub (VFO-B) receiver, and the impeded LED will glow dark.
Use the Sub receiver’s [SUB AF GAIN] knob to adjust the Sub (VFO-B)
receiver volume level.
1. Press the [BAND] button corresponding to the Amateur band on which you wish to
begin operation.
Advice:
One-touch selection of each Amateur band between 1.8 and 50 MHz is
provided.
The FT-2000 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, which
permits you to store up to three favorite frequencies and modes onto each
band’s VFO register. For example, you may store one frequency each on 14
MHz CW, RTTY, and USB, then recall these VFOs by successive, momentary
presses of the [14] MHz band button. Each Amateur band button may similarly
have up to three frequency/mode settings applied.
If you press the (VFO-A) [BAND] button, the [SUB VFO-B] knob may be used
as a band selection knob. If you press the (VFO-A) [MHz] button, rotation of
the [SUB VFO-B] knob allows frequency navigation in 1 MHz steps. Depending
on the setting of the (VFO-A) [BAND], (VFO-A) [MHz], and [A/B] buttons, the
function of the [SUB VFO-B] knob will change. Please see page xx for more
details.
1. Press the [ANTENNA 1/2] button to select the appropriate antenna for the band in
use; alternatively, if one is connected, you may also press the [RX] antenna
selection button. Two TX/RX antennas may be connected, or one RX-only antenna.
Advice: Once you have made your antenna selection, that antenna is
“remembered” by the microprocessor in conjunction with the VFO register
(frequency and mode) in use when you chose that particular antenna.
2. Press the appropriate [MODE] button to select the desired operating mode.
