FT-2000D

FT-2000 100 WATT & FT-2000D 200 WATT HF+6 TRANSCEIVERS

Now includes additional features of PEP200-Performance Enhancement Program

The FT-2000 and FT-2000D are the 2nd Generation in the proud lineage of the FTdx9000 Series! Featuring extensive DSP filtering, 100 & 200 Watts of power output respectively, and a host of outstanding ergonomic and performance features, the FT-2000 and FT-2000D are destined to be the centerpiece of your HF/50 MHz station!

160 - 6 Meter Coverage, 100 or 200 Watts of Power!
The FT-2000 and FT-2000D provide a full 100 & 200 Watts of power output (AM: 25 W) on the 160-6 Meter Amateur bands, and the U.S. version includes a special memory bank containing the five 60-meter channels, as well. Continuous receiver coverage from 30 kHz to 60 MHz is provided. Note: frequency coverage may differ in your country.
Extensive Receiver DSP Filtering!
The power of IF Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is yours to enjoy with the FT-2000/D. Variable IF Width and IF Shift allow precise interference rejection, and the receiver DSP also includes an Auto-Notch, Manual Notch, Digital Noise Reduction, and a continuously-variable passband Contour control. The WIDTH control has a mode-determined adjustment range of 200 Hz – 4 kHz for SSB, and 25 Hz to 2.4 kHz on CW, and a mode-optimized “Narrow” key provides one-touch narrowing of the bandwidth to a user-determined preset value.
User-Adjustable Variable TX Bandwidth!
With the FT-2000/D, you have tremendous control over the fidelity and/or “talk power” of your SSB signal, thanks to the variable SSB bandwidth capability in the Menu. The default bandwidth is 2.4 kHz (300 – 2400 Hz @ -6 dB), but you also have selections of 50 – 3000 Hz, 100 – 2900 Hz, 200 – 2800 Hz, and 400 – 2600 Hz, allowing you to select the bandwidth best suiting your operating needs.
3-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer!
The power of DSP also provides tremendous benefits for transmission, as well as reception. The Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer allows unmatched capability to tailor your speech characteristics: in each of the three bands, you may adjust the center frequency of the equalization, the frequency spread over which the equalization is applied, and the amplitude (peaking or nulling) within that equalization range. The result is sparkling, clear audio that will be the envy of everyone else on the band!
Outstanding Strong-Signal-Handling Capabilities Derived from the FTDX9000!
Following in the renowned path of the FTDX9000, the FT-2000/D is crafted with a comprehensive design view that accounts for all aspects of the strong signal environment, and especially with optimization of weak-signal in a multiple-strong-signal environment. The receiver of the FT-2000/D is a triple-conversion type, utilizing great care in the gain distribution through all IF stages. The first mixer is a GaAs FET Doubly-Balanced Mixer type, fed by a four-VCO PLL synthesizer (30 kHz – 10.5 MHz, 10.5 MHz – 24 MHz, 24 MHz – 39 MHz, and 39 MHz – 56 MHz). The resulting first IF is at 69.450 MHz, utilizing an up-conversion technique that yields excellent image rejection.
FTDX9000-Lineage Triple Roofing Filter System for Crowded Bands (Main Band VFO)
The first IF of the FT-2000/D features three roofing filters, I bandwidths of 15 kHz, 6 kHz, and 3 kHz, optimized by mode for best performance on today’s crowded bands. Especially useful during busy contest weekends, the Roofing Filters are positioned right after the first mixer, improving IP3 (3rd-Order Intercept Point) performance for all stages that follow.
The Ultimate Low-Band DXer RF Preselection Filter: YAESU’s Exclusive µ-Tuning!
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 FTDX9000, and it’s now available as an option for the FT-2000/D. 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 standard VRF (Variable RF Preselector) 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 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.
Unique Receiver Configuration Display
When operating at a frantic pace, it’s a comfort to have such comprehensive information available on the front panel’s huge display. The FT-2000/D’s unique "Receiver Configuration Display” calls out status for each step in the receiver’s RF and IF, and the fluorescent display also provides both graphical and numerical depiction of the bandwidth and the alignment of the various interference-rejection filters. And the high-resolution analog multi-meter allows you to monitor PO/COMP/SWR/ID/VDD/ALC both effortlessly and precisely.
Dual Receive Capability for Effortless Split Operation
During Split operation, Dual Receive may be engaged so that you may listen to both sides of the pile-up (or watch a particular frequency on the same band for activity). One push of the appropriate [TX] or [RX] indicator will engage or disengage the receiver or transmitter on the Main or Sub VFO, and the [TXW] (TX Watch) button also lets you listen to your transmit frequency during casual Split operation. The Sub Receiver also has a slot for an optional Collins® Mechanical CW filter, if desired: choose the YF-122C (500 Hz) or the YF-122CN (300 Hz). The Sub Receiver is an analog type, with no DSP filters.
Enhance Operation using External Display (option)!
A wide array of informative and useful displays, identical to those available on the FTDX9000D, can be obtained by adding the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit and an after-market display (not supplied). You get an Audio Scope (plus “Waterfall”) and Oscilloscope, Logging Page, Band Scope, World Clock with Sunrise/Sunset Terminator Display, Swept-frequency SWR display, Memory Channel listing, Rotator Control display with Great Circle Map, and a comprehensive Menu listing, as well. Enjoy the ultimate in operating ease by adding the DMU-2000!
Five-Group, 99-Channel memory with 5-Channel Quick Memory Bank (QMB)
The 99 memories may be organized into up to five memory groups (up to 20 channels each), and with the addition of the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit, you can connect your keyboard (not supplied) and add memory labels (names), edit data, and perform backup and other functions, as well, using an external computer monitor (not supplied). In addition, the one-touch Store (STO) and Recall (RCL) keys allow you instant access to a five-channel Quick Memory Bank that gives you access to five frequencies on a first-in, first-out running basis.
A Host of Features for the CW Enthusiast!
The front and rear panels have their own key jacks, which may be set up independently for connection of a keyer paddle (for use with the internal keyer), a straight key or bug, or a computer-driven keying interface for use with contest logging software, etc. With the FT-2000/D, you can use both your ears and your eyes to zero in on another CW station. The CW SPOT switch engages a spotting tone that matches the offset of your transmitted signal (as set by the CW Pitch selection), allowing you to match that pitch to that of an incoming signal perfectly. And the CW Tuning Indicator provides a graphical depiction of the tuning process, with a ? marker lighting up when the incoming signal is precisely aligned with yours.
Five-Channel Digital Voice Memory and 15-Second Digital RX Recorder
For storage and playback of repetitive messages you have to transmit in a contest, the four-channel Digital Voice Recorder (5 channels when using the optional FH-2 Keypad) will quickly and efficiently let you store CQ, Contest Number, and “QRZ” messages. On receive, a running 15-second loop recorder lets you stop the recording and play back the just-received audio, so you can confirm a callsign, for example.
Huge Precision Main Tuning Dual!
The front panel’s oversized 2.67” (68 mm) Main Tuning Knob is crafted using a brass JISC3604R alloy, for easy flywheel-effect frequency excursions or precision tuning of weak digital signals. The torque of the tuning knob shaft may be adjusted for just the amount of drag you prefer, and all it will take is one spin of the dial for you to know that you are in command of a serious radio!
Built-in 100-Memory Automatic Antenna Tuner
The 100 memories of matching-point data allow you to tune around the bands without the need to re-tune as you go. The special antenna tuner memories ensure efficient operation, as well as lightning-fast matching at new operating frequencies, as needed. The Automatic Antenna Tuner has a matching range of 16.7 to 150 Ohms (50 MHz: 25 - 100 Ohms).

IF Roofing Filter
The FT-450 includes a 10 kHz bandwidth Roofing Filter in the 68 MHz first IF, right after the first mixer. This filter provides narrow-band selectivity to protect the following IF and DSP stages – a feature rarely found in rigs in this price range!
IF SHIFT & WIDTH
The FT-450 IF Width and IF Shift features are the primary tools you should use for best interference reduction. After narrowing the bandwidth (Width) and/or adjusting the center of the passband (Shift), the Contour control (see details of this feature below) may also yield additional signal-enhancement benefits on the net residual bandwidth. What’s more, the IF Notch Filter (see details of this feature below) may also be utilized in conjunction with the three other filter systems to significant advantage. The IF WIDTH tuning system allows you to vary the width of the DSP IF passband to eliminate interference. Moreover, the bandwidth may actually be expanded from its default setting, should you wish to enhance incoming signal fidelity when interference on the band is low. The IF WIDTH is varied in steps: SSB - 1.8/2.4/3.0 kHz. AM - 3.0/6.0/9.0 kHz. FM - 2.5/5.0. CW - 0.5/1.8/2.4 kHz. kHz. The IF SHIFT tuning system allows you to vary the DSP filter passband higher or lower, without changing the pitch of the incoming Signal to reduce or eliminate interference. Because the carrier tuning frequency is not varied, there is no need to re-tune the operating frequency when eliminating the interference. The total passband tuning range for the IF Shift system is ±1 kHz. Rotate the [SHIFT] knob to the left or right to reduce the interference. You may observe the position of the passband in the “SHIFT” indicator of the DSP Graphic Display portion of the LCD front panel main display.
CONTOUR
The Contour filtering system provides a gentle shaping of the IF filter pass band to suppress or enhance particular frequency components, thus improving the sound and/or readability of a received signal. The DSP Contour filter is a unique capability of the receiver, providing either Nulling or Peaking of tunable segments of the receiver passband to suppress interference or excessive frequency components on an incoming signal, or to peak those tunable frequency segments. The amount of Nulling / Peaking and the bandwidth over which it is applied are adjustable via the Menu. The peak position of the contour filter is graphically depicted in the “CONTOUR” indicator of the DSP Graphic Display portion of the LCD front panel main display. SPECIAL FILTERING NOTE: The steep slopes of the DSP filtering can, when adjusted aggressively, impart an unnatural sound to an incoming signal. Often, a narrow bandwidth is not the key to improving copy. The incoming signal itself may have undesirable or excessive frequency components. By judicious use of the Contour filter, the “shoulder” of the passband response may be altered, or components removed from within the passband, allowing the desired signal to rise above the background noise and interference in a manner not obtainable with other filtering systems.
IF NOTCH
The IF Notch filter is a highly effective system that allows you to slice out an interfering beat note or other carrier signal from inside the receiver passband. You may observe the graphically depicted peak position of the IF Notch filter in the “NOTCH” indicator of the DSP Graphic Display portion of the LCD front panel main display.
DNR - Digital Noise Reduction
The Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) feature utilizes eleven (11) different mathematical algorithms to analyze and suppress different noise profiles encountered on the HF/50 MHz bands. You get to choose the selection that provides the best noise suppression. The DSP’s Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) system is designed to reduce the level of random noise found on the HF and 50 MHz bands. It is especially effective during SSB operation. Any of eleven different noise-reduction algorithms can be selected. Each of these algorithms was created for dealing with a different noise profile. You will want to experiment with the DNR system to find the best setting according to the noise currently being experienced that concurrently will allow the signal to rise up out of the noise.

With one glance, you can see your settings for a number of critical functions of the radio. And you will also see Bar Graphs depicting several different DSP filter settings at the same time for quick alignment.
Optional External Data Management Unit - DMU-2000
A wide array of information, useful and easily understood displays, absolutely identical to those available on the FTDX9000 and the FT 2000 series radios can also be yours by adding the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit and an after-market keyboard and PC display (not supplied). ** 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 will get a superbly detailed view of activity in that segment of the overall band, allowing you precise zero-in capability not found with competing products. With a 50% reduction, you will get double the speed; with reduction to 30% of the original sweep, you will get a 3X increase in speed, and by reducing the bandwidth to 10% you will get a whopping 10X increase in the sweep speed. You can use the " " and " " keys to move the remaining window, as desired. You may choose the Spectrum Scope Function (which will plot your current operating frequency in the middle of the monitor screen) or the Band Monitor Function (which will be checking the whole band you are currently operating). At the Band Monitor Function, you will be able to set the lowest starting frequency at your preference (for CW or SSB operation). The lowest starting frequency will not be purged if once set up even if you change your bandwidth. ** Audio Scope/Oscilloscope Display Function - The Audio Scope Function and the Oscilloscope Function of the DMU-2000 may be the most useful 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. This function also enables you to make adjustments to, such as, 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, or to check CW tone pitch, etc. **Swept-Frequency SWR Display - 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. ** Memory Channel List - You may edit and confirm your memory frequency channels, with easy on your big screen, such as to add an alpha/numeric "Tag" to each memory for quick recall of the channel's identification. ** World Clock Display -The World Clock function includes a world map with entries for a number of locations throughout the world, so that you will see what the time of day at the other end of our QSO or anywhere in the world. Of great advantages value to serious 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. ** Rotator Control Function - The Rotator Control Function includes the Great Circle Map that allows you to aim your directional antenna accurately (e.g. Tokyo seems to be located West from San Francisco though it is more actually located to the NNW direction) and the imbedded database of worldwide cities may be used to determine a specific bearing to a DX location, if you like. The Rotator Control function further lets you control the left(C-C-W)/right(C-W) 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 lie out compute 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 to download precise position data. ** 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 your log data to the supplied CF card using one of the popular and available logging formats like ADIF, Cabrillo, etc.
Optional Fully-automatic External RF µ-Tuning - RF Mu-Tuning Kit
The secret of the superior performance of the FT DX 9000/FT-2000 series radios on the lower bands is the RF µ-Tuning system; the very same system is now available as an option for the FT-950! 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. Three modules (MTU-160, MTU-80/40, and MTU-30/20) are available – these modules may be connected externally with no internal modification required! The RF µ-Tuning filters utilize a stack of large 1.1" 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. (On the 160 m band, typically -3DB@?12 kHz, -30DB@?450 kHz.) And the 3rd order Intercept Point (IP3) is increased by 4 dB with the RF µ-Tuning system. The ferrite cores utilized in the RF µ-Tune filters are driven by a high-resolution, high torque stepper motor (4-phase unipolar motor/2-phase magnetization system) with angular resolution of 1.8deg. The synchro belt drive has an estimated lifetime of more than 10,000 hours of actual operation. For 160-meter operation, the ferrite core diameter is a full 2.2"! The RF µ-Tune system tracks your operating frequency, although you can chose to manually skew the frequency response when special interference conditions require it. If you turn the RF µ-Tune system off when leaving your frequency or QSYing to other bands, the RF µ-Tune system will be re-centering the RF µ-Tune filter on your current operating frequency when the RF µ-Tune is re-engaged.
World Famous Yaesu Flywheel-effect Oversized High-quality Main Tuning Dial
The front panel's oversized 2.67" (58 mm) Main Tuning Knob is crafted using a 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 torque of the tuning knob shaft may be adjusted by rotating the Main tuning dial while holding the dial skirt for just the right 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 used for the FT DX 9000/ FT-2000 series radios utilizing traditional dial structure along with a specially designed 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.
Triple-conversion super-heterodyne receiver
Triple-conversion super-heterodyne receiver architecture using 69.450MHz 1st IF with the powerful 1st IF 3kHz/6kHz/15kHz selectable roofing filters (MCF), you will enjoy the advanced technology of the FT-950's multi-function 30 kHz 32-bit Floating Point IF DSP. 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), with each stage's advanced filtering protecting the stages to follow from unwanted signal voltage, leading to a quiet, ultra-robust receiver with impeccable total system performance
Yaesu 32-bit floating point IF DSP
The Yaesu 32-bit floating point IF DSP - legendary known and reputed among the serious DXers and enthusiasts - will give you the edge over all other DSP-based radios The IF Digital Signal Processing system of the FT-950 is based on the TI TMS320C6713 32-bit floating point DSP IC. All DSP superb functions can be selected by simply rotating the SELECT dial located to the left side of the main dial.
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 low noise figure and carefully-controlled stage gains ensures that only the precise amount of gain needed is actually utilized. And the front-panel "IPO" switch lets you select direct feed to the first mixer (IPO), Preamp 1 (RF AMP1), or Preamp 2 (RF AMP2) which adds the second preamplifier stage in series, according to the antenna in use and the noise and interference conditions present at the time. IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) is the function that you can set the total front end gain to optimize RF stage performance. The ultra-strong first mixer of the FT-950 features SPM5001 FETs in an active, doubly-balanced configuration optimized for a severe multi-signal environment. The active design results in no net loss in the mixer circuit itself, simultaneously eliminating the need for pre-amplification prior to direct feed of received signals to the first mixer.
Digital PLL for Outstanding Local Oscillator Performance
The receiver section exhibits strong-signal-handling capabilities in multi-signal environments by employing an essential ultra-low-noise local oscillator system that produces a very clean first IF signal. The spurious-free dynamic range and close-in blocking performance are substantially enhanced with the high Carrier-to-Noise (C/N) ratio of the FT-950 high-speed digital PLL.
Three (3) Factory Installed 1st IF Roofing Filters
The 69.450 first IF stage features three/3 roofing filters (15 kHz, 6 kHz, and 3 kHz) optimized by mode for best performance on today?s most crowded bands. Each roofing filter is a four-pole, fundamental-mode monolithic crystal filter design to produce excellent shape factor. Under any busy band conditions, the roofing filters positioned right after the first mixer of the FT-950 are designed to and definitely improve the 3rd-Order Intercept Point performance for all stages that follow.
CONTOUR Control function with natural analog touch
The incredibly sharp "brick wall" filters of the IF DSP system can expose characteristics of incoming signals that you have never heard before; not all of them are really pleasant to listen to all of the time. But, using the CONTOUR control, you can roll off low-frequency or high-frequency components so as to shape the receiver passband differently, or null out part of the mid-range area, with continuous adjustment throughout the passband. By nulling out interfering or irrelevant frequency components, the desired frequency components will significantly rise out of the background noise, improving fidelity and signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio.
World-renowned variable IF WIDTH and IF SHIFT Interference Reduction Systems
While leaving the pitch of the incoming signal and bandwidth of the IF passband unchanged, the IF Shift system allows you to vary the actual passband higher or lower in frequency, eliminating interference that you encounter outside the passband. You can also improve your reception by chosing to narrow the bandwidth of the IF SHIFT function and then varying the passband with the IF SHIFT by selecting these settings with the SELECT dial. (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 simply rotating the IF WIDTH control counterclockwise, the passband may be reduced to as little as 500 Hz (or 1.8 kHz on SSB). And if you like to listen in a wider bandwidth for greater fidelity on SSB, the SSB bandwidth may be expanded to 3000 Hz to possibly improve the audio-sound of the station you are working. And for improved AM Broadcast reception, you may use the one-touch NAR function to toggle between 9 kHz (wide) and 6 kHz (narrow), depending on interference, for better audio. While the IF WIDTH is generally used for setting the IF DSP bandwidths, you may also utilize the one-touch NAR (Narrow) function to reduce the passband narrower to your pre-selected center bandwidth (SSB: selections available from 200/400/600/850/1100/1350/1500/1650/1800 Hz CW: selections available from 100/200/ 300/400/500 Hz, Factory preset default : 1800 Hz/SSB, 500 Hz/CW, 300 Hz/RTTY and PSK).
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. The IF Noise Blanker gain can be precisely adjusted via a menu for the blanking level to be applied.
DSP Digital Noise Reduction
For reduction of random noise types, the FT-950 utilizes a powerful Digital Noise Reduction filter that contains fifteen different noise analysis parameters specially created after thousands of hours of on-the-air testing. You may choose any of these parameters to effectively reduce most noise under nearly any conditions at any given time.
Manual IF Notch and Beat-reducing Automatic Digital Notch Filter (DNF)
Selecting the NOTCH function with the SELECT dial will enable the FT-950's very high “Q” IF Notch, producing a deep notching effect typically in excess of 70 dB. Using the Menu mode to choose the "digital" NOTCH function, a uniquely designed DSP Auto Notch (DNF) filter can also be engaged independently from the "manual" Notch function, to reduce multiple carriers within the passband
Analog-sounding High-quality Digital SSB Modulation
The YAESU DSP digital modulation technique not only provides an analog-sounding high-quality digital SSB modulation envelope, but also allows the transmission bandwidth to be adjusted by the operator.
Transmit Monitor Feature
The IF Transmission Monitor allows you to listen to accurate reproduction of the transmitter's IF signal for making precise adjustments to the Parametric Equalizer, SSB Bandwidth, and/or Speech Processor. The Monitor Level may be adjusted from the front panel.
Renowned YAESU Speech Processor for that Contest or DX Pile-up Punch
The power of IF DSP is brought to the world of Speech Processing with the powerful new DSP Speech Processor design incorporated into the FT-950. The built-in Speech Processor is designed to obtain the optimum frequency response to increase intelligibility at the receiving side of a difficult path. The compression level for the Speech processor can be adjusted from the menu to obtain the best performance during your DX pile-up operation or when propagation conditions vary.
Parametric Microphone Equalizer
Within each of the three bands (low-frequency, mid-range, and high-frequency) provided, you may adjust the center frequency of the equalization, the bandwidth over which the equalization is applied, and the amplitude (either peaking or nulling) within that range. Enjoy high quality transmission audio you set to your specific preference!
Built-in TCXO for State-of-the-Art Stability
A highly-stable Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) is built into the FT-950, providing 0.5 ppm stability at room temperature, and better than 1 ppm stability over an ambient temperature range of 14 to 122 deg F (-10 to +50 deg C), making the FT-950 ideal for your PSK31, EME or other applications requiring high stability.
CW Zero-in Feature
The sidetone generated when you transmit (as set by the CW Pitch selection from the menu with a range of 300-1050 Hz) allows you to match that pitch to that of an incoming signal perfectly. As you tune closer to that pitch, the CW Tuning Indicator (selected in the menu to enable this tuning function to change the Clarifier Display to the CW Tuning Display) provides a visual and graphical depiction of the tuning process, with a marker moving towards the center of the scale display when the incoming signal is precisely aligned with yours.
CW Spot Feature
The CW SPOT switch engages a spotting tone that matches the offset of your transmitted signal (as set by the CW Pitch selection), allowing you to match that pitch to that of an incoming signal perfectly. The CW pitch frequency will be shown while pressing the "SPOT" switch. There's no more accurate way to be sure you're exactly on frequency!
Additional CW Capabilities
• Separate KEY jacks on the front and rear panels • Built-in Electronic Keyer with 4-60 WPM Speed control • Electronic Keyer Weight control • Keyer paddle Dot-Dash reversal • "Bug" keying emulation • CW Full Break-in • Five-channel Message Memory (50 characters each) • Automatic insertion of incrementing contest number into stored messages • Automatic "Beacon" keyer mode • CW "VOX" Delay is adjustable: 30 ms - 3000 ms • CW Mode reversal (USB or LSB injection) • CW keying available during SSB operation
Contest-ready Antenna Selection Capabilities
The FT-950 is designed with today's fast-moving contest operator in mind. Two antenna jacks (SO-239) are provided along with one-touch access capability. The antenna selection is memorized in each VFO and memory channel register, and the radio remembers which antenna you last used on that band or memory!
Quick Split Function
Pressing the "SPLIT" key for about 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 engage this feature by just pressing the combination LED switches near each VFO dial ("Main Dial" and "CLAR/VFO-B") to select which VFO to use as TX (or RX).
TXW (Transmit Frequency Watch) function
