PERATION
You can operate the
MARK-V
FT-1000MP normally
when turn off the
FTV-1000
. However, you must select
the transceiver’s
ANT A/B
switch to the position which
is connected to your HF antenna (either directly con-
nected to the
MARK-V
FT-1000MP, or via the
FTV-
1000
’s
NOR
antenna jack).

PERATION
Reception
1. Set the
MARK-V
FT-1000MP operating band to 28
MHz.
2. Disable the front-end RF preamplifier of the
MARK-
V
FT-1000MP (be sure the green
IPO
indicator is
illuminated), then check to be sure that the
ATT
se-
lector knob of the
MARK-V
FT-1000MP is set to
the “
0
” position.
3. Select the antenna jack “
NOR
” or “
ALT
” (whichever
is connected to your 50 MHz antenna, then select
the operating band. If you wish to operate on 50
MHz ~ 52 MHz, set the
BAND
switch of the
FTV-
1000
to the “
50-52
” position; if you wish to operate
on 52 MHz ~ 54 MHz, set the
BAND
switch of the
FTV-1000
to the “
52-54
” position.
4. Turn on the
FTV-1000
, you will now be operating
on the 50 MHz band. The
MARK-V
FT-1000MP’s
frequency display will still be on 28 MHz; however,
you can use the transceiver’s
Menu system
(
item
3-3
) to provide frequency readout on 50 MHz while
transverting to 28 MHz. See the discussion in the
section to follow.
Frequency conversions now will be taking place,
based on an HF range of 28 ~ 30 MHz, with con-
version either to 50 ~ 52 MHz, or 52 ~ 54 MHz.
Examples of this conversion process are:
1)
MARK-V
FT-1000MP:
28.12345
MHz,
FTV-
1000
’s BAND switch:
50-52
position. Actual fre-
quency is
50.12345
MHz.
2)
MARK-V
FT-1000MP:
29.12345
MHz,
FTV-
1000
’s BAND switch:
52-54
position. Actual fre-
quency is
53.12345
MHz.
3) When entering frequencies directly from the
keyboard, be sure to enter the appropriate “MHz”
digits (either [
2
] – [
8
] or [
2
] – [
9
]) so as to set the
frequency correctly. If you want to enter
“
50.56789
MHz,” press [

Advice
: You can also change the frequency read-
out to a “50 MHz format” from the standard “28 MHz
format” via
Menu 3-3
on the
MARK-V
FT-1000MP.
See the box on the next page.
5. Set the RF preamplifier to “
1
” or “
2
,” according to
the level of the background noise in your location. If
preamplifier “
1
” provides enough gain to produce
S-meter movement on the
MARK-V
FT-1000MP’s
S-meter (with only background noise present), the
additional gain of preamplifier “
2
” will not be neces-
sary. However, in extremely quiet locations, or when
using large, quiet antennas for such applications
as EME (moonbounce), preamplifier “
2
” may pro-
vide a significant improvement in signal-to-noise
ratio, although the strong signal handling capability
of preamplifier “
1
” is slightly superior to that of
preamplifier “
2
.”
