The oversized VFD display provides higher brightness and contrast
compared to TFT displays, allowing clearer viewing from a wider range
of angles than on other transceivers.

For maximum visibility and accuracy of meter readings, including S
and PO, the bar graph display has been deployed. With successive presses
of the METER button on the front panel, you will obtain meter readings
of Speech Compression Level, ALC Level, SWR, Final Amplifier Voltage
and Final Amplifier Current.

The "Block Diagram" display shows the current status of a number of
functions in the receiver of the FT-950. At a glance, you can see the
settings for a number of critical functions of the radio. At the same time,
you will see Bar Graphs depicting the settings of the DSPfilters. You
will always be aware of the receiver configuration.
The Clarifier function of the FT-950 is very simple to operate. You can
operate a modest split in a DX pile-up, or you can compensate for some
off frequency stations in a local ragchew QSO. The offset is displayed
both numerically and graphically, and is easy to read.

Pressing the "SPLIT" key for one second or more engages the "Quick
Split" feature, which automatically separates the receive and transmit
frequencies by 5 kHz (the TX frequency will be 5 kHz higher). You
may also operate split frequencies just by pressing the combination
LED/switches located near each VFO dial knob ("Main Dial" and
"CLAR/VFO-B"), to select which VFO will control TX and RX.

When operating Split, pressing the "TXW" key will instantly let you

are trying to break through.

The front panel oversized Main Tuning Knob (2.67" / 58 mm) is
crafted from heavy brass alloy (knob weight: 6.7 oz./185 g) for easy
flywheel-effect frequency excursions, or precision tuning of weak
digital signals, thanks to the precision magnetic rotary-encoder tuning
mechanism coupled to the Main Tuning Knob.

The most important interference-reduction controls, IF SHIFT, IF
WIDTH, CONTOUR, and NOTCH, are all arrayed close to each other
on the left side of the front panel - your hands never need to wander far
when battling tough QRM!

The multi-function knob, at the right
bottom corner of the front panel,
serves many often-used tasks. The knob
controls VFO-B (frequency up/down,
tuning in 100 kHz or 1 MHz steps or
band change). It also controls supportive
functions for VFO-A (band change,
tuning in 100 kHz or 1 MHz steps,
MCH/GRPand Clarifier (offset) tuning).

The main tuning dial torque may be adjusted to provide just the
amount of drag you prefer, by rotating the Main tuning knob while
holding the dial skirt. All it will take is one spin of the dial for you to
know that you are in command of a serious radio.

The Main Tuning Dial is the same structure used for the FT
DX
9000/
FT-2000 Series. The dial knob is fitted with a skirt that creates a small
air gap beneath the operatorÕs fingertips. This air gap reduces sweat
accumulation on the operator's fingertips, enhancing tuning precision
during long operating sessions.

Just as on the FT
DX
9000/FT-2000 Series, the most important switches
for operational control are arrayed around the Main Tuning Knob. For
easier and quicker operation, memory control and VFO selection keys
are gathered on your right side while QMB (Quick Memory Bank) and
operation mode keys (NAR, SPLIT, TXW) are on your left.

The IF Noise Blanker is ideal for suppression of automotive ignition
noise. It may be utilized in conjunction with the Digital Noise Reduction
system, or by itself. The IF Noise Blanker gain can be precisely
adjusted from the MENU mode for the blanking level to be applied.
