User manual YAESU FT-8000R

[. . . ] When using the optional FNB-78 NiMH Battery Pack, the FT-8000Rautomatically switches to 20 Watts (430 MHz:10W) of output power. The multi-function Liquid-Crystal Display includes attractive backlighting, which may be disabled for battery conservation. The display includes bar-graph indication of power output, ALC voltage, SWR, and modulation level. Also include are a number of operating status icons, as well as the function displays for the three operating function keys (A, B, and C). Among the advanced features of the FT-8000Rare many incorporated only in large base-station transceivers. [. . . ] You may then restart automatic tuning per the procedures described earlier. 5) The FT-8000Rmay also be used with the model ATAS100 antenna, although the tuning speed of the ATAS100 will be slower than with the ATAS-120. Automatic Tuning 1. Press the [F] key, as needed, to recall Multi Function Row "k" [TUNE, DOWN, UP]. Press the [A](TUNE) key to turn the ATAS-100/-120 on (this action only supplies voltage to the antenna at this point; re-tuning does not begin). "Parentheses" will appear on the both sides of the "TUNE" indication, and the "ATAS" will appear on the LCD. Now press and hold in the [A](TUNE) key for one second to initiate ATAS-100/-120 tuning. The transmitter will automatically be activated, a carrier will be sent, and the antenna's length will be adjusted for best SWR. If the microprocessor determines that the antenna's length is radically incorrect from the optimum value, no carrier will be sent out. Instead, in the receive mode, the antenna will retract to its shortest position (this may take up to one minute). While this is happening, do not press the [A](TUNE) key again. When the ATAS-100/-120 reaches its minimum length, automatic tuning will be initiated, and the transmitter will automatically shut off when a satisfactory SWR is achieved. Do not set up the FC-30 and FT-8000Rbefore changing the Menu Mode, item No-020 [CAT/LIN/TUN]. Press and hold in the [F] key for one second to activate the Menu mode. Rotate the MEM/VFO CH knob to recall Menu Mode No085 [TUNER/ATAS]. The default setting for this Menu is "OFF. " Rotate the DIAL to change the setting to "TUNER. " 8. Press and hold in the [F] key for one second to save the new setting and exit. Operation is similar to the procedure for the ATAS-100/-120: 1. Press the [F] key, as needed, to recall Multi Function Row "k" [TUNE, DOWN, UP]. Press the [A](TUNE) key to turn the FC-30 on. "Parentheses" will appear on both sides of the "TUNE" indication, and the "TUNR" will appear on the LCD. Press and hold in the [A](TUNE) key to initiate automatic tuning. The FT-8000Rtransmitter will be activated, a carrier signal will be sent out, and the coils and capacitors in the FC-30 will be selected/adjusted for optimum SWR. [. . . ] [6(MODE )] key Pressing this key changes the operating mode: USB CW CWR AM FM DIG PKT LSB USB . . . . . This key generates the DTMF "6" tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit "6" during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. [7(V/M)] key Pressing this key switches frequency control between the VFO and Memory Systems. This key generates the DTMF "7" tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit "7" during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. [. . . ]
