Page 25FT DX 9000MP OPERATION MANUALQMB (Quick Memory Bank) SwitchSTO (Store) ButtonPressing this button copies operating information (fre-quency, mode, bandwidth, and also repeater direction/shift frequency and CTCSS functions on the FM mode)into consecutive QMB Memories.RCL (Recall) ButtonPressing this button recalls one of up to five QuickMemory Bank memories for operation.RX Indicator/SwitchThis switch, when pressed, engages the Main (VFO-A) band receiver; the indicator will glow Green whenthe Main receiver is active.When the Main (VFO-A) receiver is active, pressingthis button momentarily will mute the receiver, andthe indicator will blink. Pressing the button once morewill restore receiver operation, and the indicator willglow Green steadily.TX Indicator/SwitchWhen this button is pushed, the indicator will glowRed, and the transmitter will be engaged on the samefrequency and mode as ws set up for the Main (VFO-A) band (subject to any Clarifier offset, of course).AdviceIf this indicator is not illuminated, it means that theSub (VFO-B) TX indicator has been selected (it willbe glowing Red). In this case, transmission will beeffected on the frequency and mode programmed forthe Sub (VFO-B) band.Main Dial KnobThis large knob adjusts the operating frequency of theMain (VFO-A) Band or a recalled memory. Clock-wise rotation of this knob increases the frequency.Default tuning increments are 10 Hz (100 Hz in AMand FM modes); when the FAST switch (# be-low) is pressed, the tuning steps increase. The avail-able steps are:Operating Mode 1 Step* 1Dial RotationLSB/USB/CW/RTTY/PKT(LSB) 10 Hz (100 Hz) 10 kHz (100 kHz)AM/FM/PKT(FM) 100 Hz (1 kHz) 100 kHz (1 MHz)*Numbers in parentheses indicate steps when the FAST switch is On.AdviceThe tuning steps for the Main Dial (described in thissection) are set, at the factory, to 10 Hz per step. ViaMenu item [TUNING 129 MAIN DIAL STEP], how-ever, you may change this setting from 10 Hz to 1 Hzinstead. When 1 Hz basic steps are selected, the ac-tion of the FAST switch will be changed to 1/10 ofthe values listed above.FAST SwitchPressing this button will increase or decrease the tun-ing rate of the MAIN Tuning Dial Knob (# above)by a factor of ten, as mentioned in the previous section.When this function is activated, the LED inside thebutton will glow red.LOCK SwitchThis button toggles locking of the main tuning knob,to prevent accidental frequency changes. When thebutton is active, the MAIN Tuning Dial Knob (# ,described previously) can still be turned, but the fre-quency will not change, and the LED inside the but-ton will glow green.NAR (Narrow) SwitchIn the SSB/CW mode, this button is used to set thebandwidth of the DSP IF filters to a user-programmedbandwidth (default values are SSB: 1.8 kHz, CW/RTTY/PSK: 300 Hz, AM: 6 kHz). When NAR hasbeen engaged, the WIDTH knob (# , describedlater) will be disabled.In the AM mode, this button is used to toggle thereceiver’s bandwidth between wide (9 kHz) and nar-row (6 kHz).In the FM mode on the 28 MHz and 50 MHz bands,this button is used to toggle the FM deviation/band-width between wide (± 5.0 kHz Dev./25.0 kHz BW)and narrow (± 2.5 kHz Dev./12.5 kHz BW).Pressing the A or B button (located above theMODE selection buttons) will select either the mainband (VFO-A) or sub band (VFO-B) for individualbandwidth setting.AdviceWhen NAR has been engaged, the WIDTH knobwill be disabled, although IF Shift still works normally.SPLIT SwitchPressing this button to activates split frequency op-eration between the Main (VFO-A) band, used fortransmission and Sub (VFO-B) band, used for recep-tion. The same name LED located at the right of themain tuning knob glows orange while this function isactive.If you press and hold in the SPLIT switch for twoseconds, the “Quick Split” feature will be engaged,whereby the Sub (VFO-B) band VFO will automati-cally be set to a frequency 5 kHz higher than the Main(VFO-A) band frequency, and the transceiver will beplaced in the Split mode. Likewise, you may engagean instant quick split by pressing and holding in theSPLIT switch for two seconds; Quick Split will beactivated, and the transmit frequency will be set 5 kHzhigher than the current receiver frequency.TXW “TX Watch” SwitchPressing this key lets you monitor the transmit fre-quency when split frequency operation is engaged.When receiving on the transmit frequency, the LEDindicator will glow green. Press this key again to re-turn to normal operation.FRONT P ANEL C ONTROLS
