3. POWER button LOCK button FT 2000 OPERATING MANUAL Page 7 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 Note that the GSRV type antenna does not provide a 50 Ohm impedance on all HF Amateur bands and an external wide range antenna coupler must be used with this antenna type 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 nee

ADVICE If the AGC receiver recovery time is set to Off by press ing and holding in the AGC button the S meter will no longer deflect Additionally you will likely encounter dis tortion on stronger signals as the IF amplifiers and the following stages are probably being overloaded Quick POINT Several aspects of AGC performance may be configured via the Menu However because AGC can have such a profound impact on overall receiver performance we gen erally do not recommend any changes to the AGC Menu selections until you are thoroughly familiar with the per formance of the FT 2000 TERMINOLOGY Automatic Gain Control or AGC is a circuit that senses the incoming signal strength and then limits the gains of the RF and IF stages so as to keep the output audio vol ume at a more or less constant level AGC also protects the RF IF Audio and DSP stages from overload as it limits the signal strength that is allowed to flow irrespec tive of the input signal level Page 62 FT 2000 OPERATING MANUAL TOOLS FOR COMFORTABLE AND EFFECTIVE RECEPTION a SS es ee l AGC Automatic Gain CONTROL SLOPED AGC Operation In traditional AGC systems the audio output from the transceiver becomes essentially fixed once the threshold for AGC action is reached usually several dozen dB above the no signal noise SLOPED floor The FT 2000 however includes an innovative Sloped AGC syste

I Sat Hil Zero In Retune Shift to Higher Frequency H X When the CW reversefeature is activated the indicator of the Tuning Offset Indicator will also be reversed PITCH Knob Tuning Offset Indicator Quick Points O The CW Spotting process utilizes the Spot tone or the Tuning Offset Indicator with the actual offset pitch being set by the PITCH knob on the front panel The offset pitch may be set to any frequency between 300 Hz and 1050 Hz in 50 Hz steps and you can either match tones audibly using the SPOT button or align the receiver frequency so that the central red LED on the Tuning Offset Indicator lights up Note that there are 21 dots on the Tuning Offset Indicator and de pending on the resolution selected the incoming CW signal may fall outside the visible range of the bar in dicator if you are not reasonably close to the proper alignment of tones O The displayed frequency on CW normally reflects the zero beat frequency of your offset carrier That is if you were to listen on USB on 14 100 00 MHz to a signal with a 700 Hz offset the zero beat frequency of that CW carrier would be 14 000 70 MHz the latter frequency is what the FT 2000 displays by default However you can change the display to be identical to what you would see
