Page 1FT-2000D OPERATING MANUALGENERAL D ESCRIPTIONCongratulations on the purchase of your Yaesu amateur trans-ceiver! Whether this is your first rig, or if Yaesu equipment isalready the backbone of your station, rest assured that yourtransceiver will provide many hours of operating pleasurefor years to come.The FT-2000D is an elite-class HF transceiver providing ex-ceptional performance both on transmit and receive. The FT-2000D is designed for the most competitive operating situa-tions, whether you primarily operate in contest, DX, or digi-tal-mode environments.Built on the foundation of the popular FTDX9000 transceiver,and carrying the proud tradition of the FT-1000 series, theFT-2000D provides up to 200 Watts of power output on SSB,CW, and FM (50 Watts AM carrier). Digital Signal Process-ing (DSP) is utilized throughout the design, providing lead-ing-edge performance on both transmit and receive.Available as an option for the FT-2000D is the Data Man-agement Unit (DMU-2000), which provides extensive dis-play capabilities via a user-supplied computer monitor. In-cluded are Band Scope, Audio Scope, X-Y Oscilloscope,World Clock, Rotator Control, and extensive transceiver sta-tus displays, in addition to station logging capability.For exceptional protection from strong nearby incoming sig-nals, the Yaesu-exclusive VRF (Variable RF Front-End Fil-ter) serves as a high-performance Preselector-ideal for multi-operator contest environments. This filter is manually tuned,allowing the operator to optimize sensitivity or signal rejec-tion with the twist of a knob. And for then ultimate in re-ceiver RF selectivity, the optional RF μTuning Kits may beconnected via the rear panel, providing extraordinarily sharpselectivity to protect your receiver from close-in interferenceon a crowded band.In addition to the contribution of the VRF Preselector, su-perb receiver performance is a result of direct lineage fromthe legendary FTDX9000, FT-1000D, and FT-1000MP. Youmay select, in the front end, one of two RF preamplifiers, orIPO (Intercept Point Optimization) utilizing direct feed tothe first mixer, and/or three levels of RF attenuation in 6-dBsteps.Dual Receive is built into every FT-2000D. The Main re-ceiver utilizes DSP filtering, incorporating many of the fea-tures of the FTDX9000, such as Variable Bandwidth, IF Shift,and Passband Contour tuning. Digital Noise Reduction andDigital Auto-Notch Filtering are also provided, along with amanually-tuned IF Notch filter. The Sub receiver, used formonitoring within the same band as the Main band, is ananalog type ideal for watching both sides of a pile-up, orkeeping an ear on a DX station working stations by call area,etc.On the transmit side, the Yaesu-exclusive Three-Band Para-metric Microphone Equalizer allows precise and flexible ad-justment of the wave-form created by your voice and micro-phone. The Amplitude, Center Frequency, and Bandwidth ofequalization may be adjusted independently for the low-fre-quency, mid-range, and high-audio-frequency spectra, andthe transmitted bandwidth may also be adjusted, as well.Advanced features include Direct Keyboard Frequency En-try and Band Change, Speech Processor, IF Monitor for Voicemodes, CW Pitch control, CW Spot switch, Full CW QSK,adjustable IF Noise Blanker, and all-mode Squelch. Two TX/RX antenna ports, plus a receive-only antenna port, are pro-vided on the rear panel. Two key jacks are provided (oneeach on the front and rear panels), and they may be config-ured independently for paddle input or connection to a straightkey or computer-driven keying interface. Both Digital VoiceRecording and CW Message Memory are provided.Frequency setup is extraordinarily simple on the FT-2000D.Besides direct frequency entry for both the Main and SubVFOs, separate keys are provided for band selection, andeach band key accesses three independent VFO frequency/mode/filter settings per band, so you can establish separateVFO settings for three different parts of each band. The two(Main and Sub) VFOs allow simultaneous reception and dis-play of two different frequencies, even in different modesand with different IF bandwidths. Receiver audio can be com-pletely or partially mixed, or monitored separately in eachear.In addition, 99 memories are provided, each of which storesits own mode and IF filter selection, in addition to frequency,Clarifier offset, and scan-skip status. What's more, five quick-recall (“QMB”) memories can instantly store operational set-tings at the push of a button.The built-in automatic antenna tuner includes 100 memoriesof its own, automatically storing antenna matching settingsfor quick automatic recall later.Interfacing for digital modes is extremely simple with theFT-2000D, thanks to dedicated AFSK and FSK connectionjacks on the rear panel. Optimization of the filter passbands,DSP settings, carrier insertion point, and display offset areall possible via the Menu programming system.The Yaesu CAT system provides a direct link to the trans-ceiver CPU for computer control and customization of tun-ing, scanning, and other operating functions. The FT-2000Dincludes a built-in data level converter for direct connectionto a personal computer serial port. Yaesu products are sup-ported by most of the leading contest and DX logging pro-grams. The extensive programming protocol is described inthe CAT System Manual, supplied with this transceiver, ifyou wish to write your own software!Advanced technology is only part of the FT-2000D story.Vertex Standard stands behind our products with a world-wide network of dealers and service centers.
