Before You Begin

Connecting AC Power

Before connecting the AC power, check the label on the rear panel which indicates the

AC mains voltage for which your transceiver is currently set. If the voltage on this

label does not much your AC mains voltage, a switch on the internal power supply in

the transceiver must be moved. This requires only a screwdriver and is not difficult

(see below), but you should make sure the power supply is set up correctly before

connecting power. Always uses the 10 A fuse in the fuse holder on the rear panel

whether operate on 100 - 120 VAC or 200 - 240 VAC. Do not use the improper fuse. If

you have any doubts about the procedure, contact your dealer for assistance.

After making certain the AC voltage for which the transceiver is set matches your

mains voltage, connect the AC power cord to the 3-pin AC jack on the rear panel. Wait

until all other transceiver interconnections have been made before connecting the other

end of the power cord to the wall outlet.

CAUTION

Permanent damage will result if improper AC supply voltage is applied to the

transceiver. Your warranty does not cover damage caused by application of improper

supply voltage, or use of an improper fuse.

AC Input Voltage Selection

 Make certain that all cables are disconnected from the transceiver.

 Remove the three screws from each side of the transceiver, and three screws from

the top edge of the rear panel. Slide the top cover toward to the rear about 1/2 inch

(1 cm), then remove the top cover.

 Locate the power supply unit and the voltage selector switch.

 Move the AC range switch to the “115” position for operation from 100 - 120 VAC,

or to the “230” position for operation from 200 - 240 VAC.

FT-2000

Operating Manual

Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

 Replace the top cover and its nine screws.

 Always uses the 10 A fuse in the fuse holder on the rear panel whether operate on

100 - 120 VAC or 200 - 240 VAC.

 Change the voltage marking on the label on the rear panel to match the new

voltage setting.

Extending the Front Feet

In order to elevate the front panel for easy viewing, the front left and right feet of the

bottom case may be extended.

 Pull the front legs outward from the bottom panel.

 Rotate the legs counter-clockwise to lock them in the extended position. Be sure the

legs have locked securely in place, because the transceiver is quite heavy and an

unlocked leg could result in damage, should the transceiver move suddenly.

Retracting the Front Feet

 Rotate the legs clockwise, and push them inward while rotating to the right.

 The front feel should now be locked in the retracted position.

Adjusting the Main Tuning Dial Torque

The torque (drag) of the Main Tuning Dial knob may be adjusted according to your

preferences. Simply hold down the rear skirt of the knob, and while holding it in place

rotate the knob itself to the right to reduce the drag or to the left to increase the drag.

Installation and Interconnections

Antenna Considerations

The FT-2000 is designed for use with any antenna system providing a 50 Ohm resistive

impedance at the desired operating frequency. While minor excursions from the

50-Ohm specification are of no consequence, the transceiver’s Automatic Antenna

Tuner may not be able to reduce the impedance mismatch to an acceptable value if the

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) present at the Antenna jack is greater than 3:1.

Every effort should, therefore, be made to ensure that the impedance of the antenna

system utilized with the FT-2000 be as close as possible to the specified 50-Ohm value.

Any antenna to be used with the FT-2000 must, ultimately, be fed with 50 Ohm coaxial

cable. Therefore, when using a “balanced” antenna such as a dipole, remember that a

balun or other matching/balancing device must be used so as to ensure proper antenna

performance.

The same precautions apply to any additional (receive-only) antennas connected to the

RX ANT jack; if your receive-only antennas do not have an impedance near 50 Ohms at

the operating frequency, you may need to install an external antenna tuner to obtain

optimum performance.

About Coaxial Cable

Use high-quality 50-Ohm coaxial cable for the lead-in to your FT-2000 transceiver. All

efforts at providing an efficient antenna system will be wasted if poor quality, lossy

FT-2000

Operating Manual

Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

coaxial cable is used. This transceiver utilizes standard “M” (“PL-259”) type connectors,

except for the “RX OUT” BNC connectors used for special filters, etc.

Grounding

The FT-2000 transceiver, like any other HF communications apparatus, requires an

effective ground system for maximum electrical safety and best communications

effectiveness. A good ground system can contribute to station efficiency in a number of

ways:

 It can minimize the possibility of electrical shock to the operator.

 It can minimize RF currents flowing on the shield of the coaxial cable and the

chassis of the transceiver; such currents may lead to radiation which can cause

interference to home entertainment devices or laboratory test equipment.

 It can minimize the possibility of erratic transceiver/accessory operation caused by

RF feedback and/or improper current flow through logic devices.

An effective earth ground system make take several forms; for a more complete

discussion, see an appropriate RF engineering text. The information below is intended

only as a guideline.

Typically, the ground connection consists of one or more copper-clad steel rods, driven

into the ground. If multiple ground rods are used, they should be positioned in a “V”

configuration, and bonded together at the apex of the “V” which is nearest the station

location. Use a heavy, braided cable (such as the discarded shield from type RG-213

coaxial cable) and strong cable clamps to secure the braided cable(s) to the ground rods.

Be sure to weatherproof the connections to ensure many years of reliable service. Use

the same type of heavy, braided cable for the connections to the station ground bus

(described below).

Inside the station, a common ground bus consisting of a copper pipe of at least 25 mm

(1”) diameter should be used. An alternative station ground bus may consist of a wide

copper plate (single-sided circuit board material is ideal) secured to the bottom of the

operating desk. Grounding connections from individual devices such as transceivers,

power supplies, and data communications devices (TNCs, etc.) should be made directly

to the ground bus using a heavy, braided cable.

Do not make ground connections from one electrical device to another, and thence to

the ground bus. This so-called “Daisy-Chain” grounding technique may nullify any

attempt at effective radio frequency grounding. See the drawing below for examples of

proper grounding techniques.

Inspect the ground system - inside the station as well as outside - on a regular basis so

FT-2000

Operating Manual

as to ensure maximum performance and safety.

Besides following the above guidelines carefully, note that household or industrial gas

lines must never be used in an attempt to establish an electrical ground. Cold water

pipes may, in some instances, help in the grounding effort, but gas lines represent a

significant explosion hazard, and must never be used.

Connection of Antenna and Power Cables

Please follow the outline in the illustration regarding the proper connection of antenna

coaxial cables, as well as the AC power cable.

Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect your station equipment to the buried

ground rod (or alternative earth ground system).

Advice:

 Do not position this apparatus in a location with direct exposure to sunshine.

 Do not position this apparatus in a location exposed to dust and/or high humidity.

 Ensure adequate ventilation around this apparatus, so as to prevent heat build-up

and possible reduction of performance due to high heat.

 Do not install this apparatus in a mechanically-unstable location, or where objects

may fall onto this product from above.

 To minimize the possibility of interference to home entertainment devices, take all

precautionary steps including separation of TV/FM antennas from Amateur

transmitting antennas to the greatest extent possible, and keep transmitting

coaxial cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment devices.

 Ensure that the AC power cord is not subject to undue stress or bending, which

could damage the cable or cause it to be accidentally unplugged from the rear

panel AC input jack.

 Be absolutely certain to install your transmitting antenna(s) such that they cannot

possibly come in contact with TV/FM radio or other antennas, nor with outside

power or telephone lines.

Key, Keyer, and Computer-Driven Keying Interconnections

The FT-2000 includes a host of features for the CW operator, the functions of which will

be detailed in the “Operation” section later. Besides the built-in Electronic Keyer, two

key jacks are provided, one each on the front and rear panels, for convenient

connection to keying devices.

FT-2000

Operating Manual

Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

The Menu system allows you to configure the front and rear panel KEY jacks according

to the device you wish to connect. For example, you may connect your keyer paddle to

the front panel KEY jack, and use Menu item “051 A1A F-TYPE” for paddle input,

while connecting the rear panel’s KEY jack to the keying line from your personal

computer (which emulates a “straight key” for connection purposes), and configure the

rear panel jack using Menu item “053 A1A R-TYPE.”

Both KEY jacks on the FT-2000 utilize “Positive” keying voltage. Key-up voltage is

approximately +5V DC, and key-down current is approximately 1 mA. When

connecting a key or other device to the KEY jacks, use

only

a 3-pin (“stereo”) 1/4” phone

plug; a 2-pin plug will place a short between the ring and (grounded) shaft of the plug,

resulting in a constant “key-down” condition in some circumstances.

Interfacing to Other Linear Amplifiers

Note

 The TX/RX switching in the linear amplifier is controlled by switching components

in the transceiver. The relay circuit of the FT-2000 used for this switching is

capable of switching AC voltage of 100 Volts at up to 300 mA, or DC voltages or 60

V at 200 mA or 30 V at up to 1 Amp. In order to engage the switching relay, use

Menu item “134 tGEn ETX-GND;” set this Menu item to “EnA (Enable)” to

activate the amplifier switching relay.

 The specified range for ALC voltage to be used with the FT-2000 is 0 to -4 Volts

DC.

 Amplifier systems utilizing different voltages will not work correctly with the

FT-2000, and their ALC lines must not be connected if this is the case.

Plug/Connector Pinout Diagrams

All items are viewed from the rear (“solder side”) of the connector.

These plugs are shown with typical connection diagrams.

Front Panel Control & Switches

1. POWER Switch

Press and hold in this switch for one second to turn the transceiver on, after first

setting the rear panel [POWER] switch to the “I” position. Press and hold in this switch

for one second, similarly, to turn the transceiver off.

Advice: This is the actual power On/Off switch for turning on the transceiver. If the

FT-2000

Operating Manual

Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

rear panel’s [POWER] switch is set to the “O” position, the front panel [POWER] switch

will not function.

2. DIM Switch

Press this button to lower the illumination intensity of the analog meter and the

frequency display. Press it once more to restore full brightness.

Advice: Menu Items “008 diSP DIM MTR” and “009 diSP DIM VFD” allow you to

configure the dimming levels for the analog meter and the frequency display

independently, so you can customize the brightness levels.

3. MOX Switch

Pressing this button engages the PTT (Push to Talk) circuit, to activate the transmitter.

It must be turned off the red LED inside this button for reception. This button

replicates the action of the Push to Talk (PTT) switch on the microphone. When

engaging the [MOX] button (the LED inside this button glows red) or otherwise

causing a transmission to be started, be certain you have either an antenna or 50-Ohm

dummy load connected to the selected Antenna jack.

4. VOX Switch

This button enables automatic voice-actuated transmitter switching in the SSB, AM,

and FM modes. While activated, the LED inside this button glows red. The controls

affecting VOX operation are the front panel’s [VOX] and [DELAY] knobs. By proper

adjustment of these controls, hands-free voice-actuated operation is possible.

5. TUNE Switch

This is the on/off switch for the FT-2000’s Automatic Antenna Tuner.

Pressing this button momentarily places the antenna tuner in line between the

transmitter final amplifier and the antenna jack (“TUNER” icon will appear in the

display). Reception is not affected.

Pressing and holding in this button for 1/2 second, while receiving in an amateur band,

activates the transmitter for a few seconds while the automatic antenna tuner

rematches the antenna system impedance for minimum SWR. The resulting setting is

automatically stored in one of the antenna tuner’s 100 memories, for instant automatic

recall later when the receiver is tuned near the same frequency.

Pressing this button momentarily, while the Tuner is engaged, will take the Automatic

Antenna tuner out of the transmit line.

FT-2000

Operating Manual

Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

Note: When the Automatic Antenna tuner is tuning itself, a signal is being transmitted.

Therefore, be absolutely certain that an antenna or dummy load is connected to the

selected antenna jack before pressing and holding in the [TUNE] button to start

antenna tuning.

6. ANTTENA Select Switch

[1/2]: pressing this selects either the ANT 1 or 2 jack on the rear panel, and allows

convenient antenna switching at the press of button. The selected antenna jack is

indicated at the upper right corner of the display.

[RX]: normally, the antenna connected to the ANT 1 or 2 jack is used for receive (and

always used for transmit). When this switch is pressed, an antenna connected to the

RX ANT is used during receive.

7. PHONES Jack

A 1/4-inch, 3-contact jack accepts either monaural or stereo headphones with 2- or

3-contact plugs. When a plug is inserted, the loudspeaker is disabled. With stereo

headphones such as the optional YH-77STA, you can monitor both Main (VFO-A) and

Sub (VFO-B) receiver channels at the same time during Dual Receive operation.

Note: When wearing headphones, we recommend that you turn the AF Gain levels

down to their lowest settings before turning power on, to minimize the impact on your

hearing caused by audio “pops” during switch-on.

8. KEY Jack

This 1/4-inch, 3-contact jack accepts a CW key or keyer paddles (for the built-in

electronic keyer), or output from an external electronic keyer. Pinout is shown on page

xx. Key up voltage is 5 V, and key down current is 1 mA. This jack may be configured

for keyer, “Bug,” “straight key,” or computer keying interface operation via Menu item

“051 A1A F-TYPE” (see page xx). There is another jack with the same name on the rear

panel, and it may be configured independently for Internal Keyer or

pseudo-straight-key operation.

Note: You cannot use a 2-contact plug in this jack (to do so produces a constant “key

down” condition).

9. Microphone Connector

This 8-pin jack accepts input from a microphone utilizing a traditional YAESU

HF-transceiver pinout.

10. MONI (Monitor) Switch

This button enables the transmit monitor in all modes (except CW, in which the

monitor function is always on, to produce the sidetone). While activated, “MONI” icon

appears in the display. Adjustment of the Monitor level is accomplished using the

[MONI] knob.

Advice: When using headphones, the Monitor is highly useful for making adjustments

to the Parametric Equalizer or other voice quality adjustments, because the voice

quality heard in the headphones is such a “natural” reproduction of the transmitted

audio quality.

11. PROC (Processor) Switch

This button enables the RF speech processor for SSB transmission. While activated,

“PROC” icon appears in the display. Adjustment of the Processing level is accomplished

using the [PROC] knob.

Advice:

 The Speech Processor is a tool for increasing the average power output through a

compression technique. However, if the [PROC] level control is advanced too far, the

increase in compression becomes counter-productive, as intelligibility will suffer.

We recommend that you monitor the sound of your signal using the Monitor (with

headphones).

 When the optional Data Management Unit (DMU-xxxx) is connected, you may use

the Audio Scope/Oscilloscope page to help you adjust the setting of the compression

level of the Speech Processor for optimum performance using your voice and

microphone.

12. KEYER Switch

This button toggles the internal CW keyer on and off. While activated, “KEYER” icon

appears in the display. The Keyer sending speed and the CW Hang Time are adjusted

via the front panel’s [SPEED] and [DELAY] knobs.

13. ATT Switch

This button selects the degree of attenuation, if any, to be applied to the receiver input.

Available selections are –6 dB, –12 dB, –18 dB, or OFF, and the “ATT” icon will change

according to the attenuation level selected.
