Page 44 FT-2000D O PERATING M ANUALBandwidth Diversity ReceptionThis mode involves receiving the same signal through twodifferent bandpass filters. The frequency and mode of boththe Main band (VFO-A) and Sub band (VFO-B) are thesame. The Main band (VFO-A) can be set up for a widebandpass, using the [WIDTH] knobs, and the Sub band(VFO-B) for a narrow bandpass, resulting in a spatial per-ception of the channel. Although any mode (except FM)can be used, CW offers the widest array of choices, andperhaps the most startling effects on crowded channels.Stereo headphones or an external stereo speaker are rec-ommended for this mode. To set up the transceiver forbandwidth diversity reception: Select the desired mode on the Main band (VFO-A). Tune to the signal of interest. Press the [AXXXXXB] button to copy this mode and fre-quency into the Sub band (VFO-B). If using headphones, set the headphone mixing schemeto the “Con1Con1Con1Con1Con1” mode via the Menu item “091 routHEADPHN,” and activate dual reception. Adjust the [AF GAIN] knob(s) to balance the volumeof the two receivers. Now try manipulating the [SHIFT] and [WIDTH]knobs to observe the interesting effects of bandwidthdiversity.C ONVENIENCE F EATURESDUAL RECEIVE
