HF Excitement

HF operation is more enchanting than ever. . .

In today’s world of e-mail and the Internet, it’s possible to communicate effortlessly with anyone in the world.

So why is it that Hams are more and more enchanted by the lure of HF DX every day?

It’s because the romance of HF DX is more alive than ever.

With every advance in our understanding of the ionosphere, more questions arise, and we want the ability to pull imperceptible signals out of the swirling plasma storms above us, unlocking the mysteries of how the signals get from "there" to "here."

That wondrous moment when you hear the rare DX station coming back only to you.

It’s a feeling that can only be appreciated by someone with the soul of a DXer.

It’s called the "Magic of DX" and it’s what HF operation is all about.

That primal need to explore, to know who is out there, and to find out first-hand.

And the magnificence of Nature can only be truly appreciated when you have the best technology connected to your antenna, allowing you to hear like never before.

And, of course, it's not just the fact of making the QSO that makes DXing magical. . .

it's the path you follow on the way to the destination!

The DXer's Choice: FT-2000

It’s a dynamic natural and man-made environment in which DXers perform their magic on the airwaves.

So it’s not enough just to hear a signal and then call back in the hope of making a QSO.

But when you make the decision to invest in a radio that makes you a partner with the DX station so far away, only then can you realize the total DX experience!

YAESU brings you innovation and quality you just won’t find elsewhere!

The FT-2000 is the 2nd Generation of the proud lineage of the FT

DX

9000 Series, which represented a quantum leap in HF transceiver performance when it was introduced in 2005. Now, the FT-2000 takes its own place as a new benchmark in performance, following the elite-class success of the MARK-V FT-1000MP.

The FT

DX

9000, widely acclaimed for its unmatched total system performance, broke new ground in design with such ultra-high-performance features as the high-Q

High-performance Receiver Design utilizing

System-wide Gain and Intercept Balancing

Triple-conversion Receiver Design with Optimized Stage Balance

Designed with the same emphasis on efficiency as used with a transmitter, the receiver design of the FT-2000 is centered around optimization of each stage's gain, intercept, and selectivity. The triple-conversion design features a 1st IF of 69.45 MHz, a 2nd IF of 450 kHz, and a 3rd

IF of 30 kHz (FM: 24 kHz), and each stage's advanced filtering protects the stages to follow from unwanted signal voltage, leading to a quiet, ultra-robust receiver with impeccable total system performance.

Robust Receiver Front End

The RF amplifier stage is designed for low and high intercept, utilizing two strong series-connected 2SC3356 bipolar transistors with negative feedback for consistent, repeatable performance. The front-panel IPO switch lets you select direct feed to the first mixer (IPO), Preamp 1, or

Preamp 2 (which adds the second preamplifier stage in series), according to the antenna in use and the noise and interference conditions present at the time. The low noise figure and carefully-controlled stage gains ensures that only the precise amount of gain needed is actually utilized.

IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) is the function which allows you to set the total front end gain, so as to optimize RF stage performance.

The ultra-strong first mixer of the FT-2000 features SPM5001 FETs in an active, doubly-balanced configuration optimized for a multi-signal environment. The active design results in no net loss in the mixer circuit, often eliminating the need for preamplification prior to direct feed of received signals to the first mixer.

Dual Receive (In-band) Featuring Independent IF Strips

The sub receiver of the FT-2000 is an analog type, with a completely independent IF section so that strong signals appearing on the main receiver do not affect signals on the sub receiver. This brings you the true benefits of dual receive operation. The IF passband of the sub receiver may be varied between 2.4 kHz and 1.1 kHz, and an optional

Collins ® Mechanical Filter of 500 Hz (YF-122C) or 300 Hz (YF-122CN) may be added, for sharper selectivity on CW.

Variable RF Preselector (VRF) Covers the 1.8 - 28 MHz Amateur Bands

To provide protection for the RF stages, as well as the three IF stages, the front end filtering system utilizes a combination of twelve fixed bandpass filters and Yaesu's exclusive VRF (Variable RF) Preselector system. These two RF filter systems protect the early stages of the receiver from overload caused by strong out-of-band signals. The high-

Q VRF system, much narrower in bandwidth than the fixed bandpass filters, are crafted using high-permeability toroidal coils (T-80 and T-37 type) and tuning capacitors, producing 44 tuning steps for optimal of broadcast or commercial-service interference. The robust circuit design utilizes expensive sealed surface-mount relays, capable of sustaining surges of up to 2500

Volts down the antenna line. The center frequency of the VRF is manually adjustable, allowing you to skew the filter response for maximum rejection of the undesired signals.

High-speed Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) and 200 MHz High-spec

Digital PLL for Outstanding Local Oscillator Performance

In seeking to improve the strong-signalhandling capabilities of the receiver section, in a multi-signal environment, the

YAESU design team has developed a highspec, ultra-low-noise local oscillator system that produces a very clean first IF signal.

The high Carrier-to-Noise (C/N) ratio of the 200 MHz high-speed digital PLL is the result of very fast lock time, because the local design does not entail the use of a prescaler but rather locks directly on the

1st local frequency. As a result, the spuriousfree dynamic range and close-in blocking performance are substantially enhanced.

Yaesu’s renowned engineering know-how is now applied to the world of IF DSP, and the FT-2000’s 32-bit floating point IF DSP is crafted to give your station the edge over all other DSP-based radios

The IF Digital Signal Processing system of the FT-2000 is based on the TI TMS320C6713 32-bit floating point DSP IC.

World-renowned Variable IF WIDTH and IF SHIFT

Interference-reduction Systems

Manual IF Notch and Beat-reducing Automatic Digital Notch Filter (DNF)

The IF Shift system is highly effective for removing interference.

While leaving the pitch of the incoming signal unchanged, as well as the bandwidth of the IF passband, the IF Shift system allows you to vary the passband higher or lower in frequency, eliminating interference that you tune outside the passband. The IF Shift control is concentric with the IF WIDTH control.

The Variable IF WIDTH system has a default center bandwidth of 2.4 kHz for SSB and CW, and 500 Hz for RTTY and PSK operation. By rotating the IF WIDTH control the passband maybe reduced to as little as 25 Hz on CW/RTTY/PSK, or 200 Hz on SSB. What's more, if you like to listen in a wider bandwidth for greater fidelity on SSB, the SSB bandwidth may be expanded to 4000 Hz by simply rotating the IF

WIDTH control clockwise.

µ

-Tuning Ultra-sharp Preselector (option) features 1.1" (28 mm) Coil for High Q

On the lower Amateur bands, the signal voltages impinging on a receiver can create noise and Intermodulation effects that can cover up weak signals you're trying to pull through. So YAESU's engineers developed the

µ

(Mu) Tuning system for the FT DX 9000, and it's now available as an option for the FT-2000. Three modules are available

(MTU-160, MTU-80/40, MTU-30/20), and these modules may be connected externally with no internal modification required! When

µ

-

Tuning is engaged, the VRF system is bypassed, but the fixed Bandpass

Filters are still in the received signal path.

The

µ

-Tuning filters utilize a stack of large 1.1" (28 mm) Ni-Zn Ferrite cores, driven through a silver-plated coil assembly by a precision stepper motor. The resulting high Q (typically over 300) provides a very steep resonance peak near your operating frequency. The typical

160-meter bandwidth, at -3 dB, is

±

12 kHz, and at -30 dB the bandwidth is typically

±

450 kHz. The peak may be adjusted away from your frequency, for even greater protection from a specific station, and a graphical depiction of the

µ

-Tune filter alignment appears on the front panel of the transceiver. And, within the

µ

-Tune passband, the 3rd

–order Intercept Point is increased by 4 dB.

The ferrite cores utilized in the

µ

-Tune filters are driven by a highresolution, high torque stepper motor (4-phase unipolar motor/2-phase magnetization system) with angular resolution of 1.8

°

, and the synchro belt drive has an estimated lifetime of 10,000 hours of actual operation.

For 160-meter operation, the ferrite core diameter is 2.2" (55 mm), and on all modules the

µ

-Tune system tracks your operating frequency, although you can manually skew the frequency response when special interference conditions require it.

If you turn the

Quick Split Feature

Pressing the [SPLIT] key for two seconds 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). For other Split operating situations, just press the combination LED/switches near each VFO dial to set the VFOs as you want them.

Tracking Feature

During Split operation, you may command the FT-2000 to operate in a

"Tracking" mode whereby the Sub VFO frequency tracks the frequency change on the Main VFO, maintaining a constant split between the two frequencies. You can even do "Band Tracking" whereby you can cause both bands to change simultaneously, using this feature.

TXW (Transmit Frequency Watch) Feature

When operating Split, pressing the [TXW] key instantly lets you receive on your transmit frequency, to hear activity in the pile-up you are working to break through.

Preset NARROW Switch

While the WIDTH control is generally used for setting of the IF DSP bandwidth, a one-touch [NARROW] key is provided, allowing you instantaneous access to a bandwidth narrower than the default value on the current operating mode. For SSB, for example, where the default bandwidth is 2400 Hz, you have "Narrow" selections available of

200/400/600/850/1100/1350/1500/1650/1800/1950/2100/2250 Hz, while on CW, "Narrow" selections of 25/50/100/200/300/400/500/800/1400/1700/

2000 Hz are available. So, for example, you can set up "Narrow" bandwidths of 1.8 kHz for SSB, 500 Hz for CW, and 300 Hz for RTTY and PSK operation. What's more, for AM Broadcast operation, you may use the [NARROW] key to toggle between bandwidths of 6 kHz and 9 kHz, depending on interference.

IF Noise Blanker

The IF Noise Blanker is ideal for suppression of automotive ignition noise, and it may be utilized in conjunction with the Digital Noise

Reduction system, or by itself. A front-panel Noise Blanker gain control allows precise control of the blanking level to be applied, and both wide and narrow pulse noises may be suppressed using this feature.

Sloped AGC Feature

During certain conditions whereby both weak and strong signals are being encountered, a "flat" AGC response (whereby signals above a certain level are all clamped so as to produce the same audio output) may not be optimal. So the FT-2000 menu lets you select a traditional

"flat" response or a "Sloped" response, whereby louder signals are allowed to rise up to a slightly higher level than are weak signals, thereby allowing you to use your brain to discriminate between signals according to signal strength, not just frequency characteristics. This provides superior signal recognition during contest pile-up operating situations.

Flywheel-effect Oversized High-quality Main Tuning Dial

• The front panel's oversized 2.67" (68 mm) Main Tuning Knob is crafted using a heavy brass alloy (knob weight: 6.7 oz./190 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 torque of the tuning knob shaft may be adjusted, by rotating the

Main tuning Knob while holding the dial skirt, for just the amount of drag you prefer. 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 as used on the FT DX 9000, utilizing the normal dial structure along with a rotating skirt that creates a small air gap. This air gap reduces sweat accumulation on the operator's fingertips, enhancing tuning precision during long operating sessions, especially on DX-peditions to hot tropical areas.

• Just as on the FT DX 9000, the most important switches for operational control are arrayed around the Main Tuning Knob, making the FT-2000 and ergonomic delight. Included are memory control, narrow filter selection, QMB (Quick Memory Bank) keys, and VFO selection and command keys surrounding the knob, with operating mode selection in the next row to the left.

Multi-Function Dial for Speedy Operational Commands

At the bottom right corner of the front panel is a "multi-function" knob that serves a number of important purposes. Its most-often-used tasks include VFO-B and Clarifier (offset) tuning, and the large diameter makes precise tuning effortless. When operating in the VFO-B mode, moreover, this knob may be used for tuning in 100 kHz or 1 MHz steps

(for quick "general coverage" band change), as well as operating mode selection for

VFO-B. When operating in the "VFO-B" mode, the outer circle lights up in orange, matching the color of the

VFO-B labels, thus preventing operator confusion and errors.

"My Bands" Feature

In order to increase operating efficiency, you may use the Menu system to command the FT-2000 "skip" over any Amateur bands on which you do not operate (because you don’t have an antenna for that band, etc.).

For example, for contest operation, you do not need to use the 10/18/24

MHz bands, so you may eliminate them from the band stepping sequence, if you like.

Optional External Data Management Unit (DMU-2000) provides Wide Display Capabiblities

A wide array of informative and useful displays, identical to those available on the FT

DX

9000D, can be obtained by adding the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit and an after-market display (not supplied) and your own personal computer. Enjoy the ultimate in operating ease by adding the DMU-2000!

F T-2000 Series

Audio Scope/Oscilloscope Display Page

When you have connected your after-market monitor to the DMU-2000 the Audio Scope and Oscilloscope "page" of the display may be the most-used capability of the Data Management Unit. The Audio Scope portrays the audio spectrum of either the receiver passband or your transmitted signal, allowing you to visualize the frequency components as you hear them. Then you can make adjustments to, for example, the

Notch Filter, Contour control or (on transmit) the Parametric

Microphone Equalizer. At the same time, you may use the Oscilloscope to look at the X-Y characteristics of an incoming signal, with variable level and sweep speed. The Audio Scope also includes a two-speed

"Waterfall" display that is very useful for precise tuning of digital signals, or for Notch Filter adjustments.

World Clock Page

The World Clock page includes a world map with entries for a number of locations throughout the world, so you can know what the time of day is anywhere. Of great usefulness to DXers is the Sunrise/Sunset depiction, which shows the "Gray Line" area where propagation frequently is enhanced. An alarm feature is also included, to alert you of a schedule time.

Waterfall Display

Swept-Frequency SWR Page

As you tune across the Amateur band and transmit at different frequencies, the DMU-2000 will plot the SWR across the band, alerting you to any unusual SWR situations, etc.

Rotator Control Page

The Rotator Control page lets you control the left/right rotation of your

Yaesu G-800/1000/2800DXA series rotator, in addition to permitting speed control and setup of preset beam headings. And, if you use your after-market keyboard for input of your latitude and longitude, the

DMU-2000 will lay out and display a Great Circle Map centered on your location! You may also connect a GPS Unit (one capable of output of NMEA0183 position data) to your DMU-2000 in order to download precise position data. The Great Circle Map allows you to aim your antenna accurately, and the imbedded database of worldwide cities may be used to determine a specific bearing to a DX location, if you like.

Spectrum Scope with LBWS

The RF Band Scope allows you to view activity within a span of 25 kHz,

100 kHz, 250 kHz, 500 kHz, 1 MHz, or 2.5 MHz, depending on your requirements, with a fixed sweep speed for seamless transition between spans.

Additionally, the YAESU-exclusive LBWS (Limited Band Width

Sweep) allows you to reduce the bandwidth to 50%, 30%, or 10% of the original, imparting a corresponding increase in the sweep speed, if you like. By sweeping just a limited portion of the main Band Scope at high speed, you get a superbly detailed view of activity in that segment of the overall band, allowing you precise zero-in capability not found on competing products. With a 50% reduction, you get double the speed; with reduction to 30% of the original sweep, you get a 3X increase in speed, and by reducing the bandwidth to 10% you gat a whopping 10X increase in the sweep speed. You can use the <- and -> keys to move the remaining window, as desired.

Memory Channel List

The 99 available memories may be grouped into as many as five

Memory Groups, and all these memories may be viewed on the

Memory Channel Listing page. You may add an alpha/numeric "Tag" to each memory, as well, for quick recall of the channel's identification.

Log Book Feature

By connecting an after-market keyboard and monitor to the DMU-

2000, you can utilize the on-board Logging capability of the FT-2000.

The Log Book includes an extensive database of DX information, and you may archive log data to the supplied CF card using one of the popular logging formats like ADIF, Cabrillo, etc.
