GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your Yaesu amateur trans-

ceiver! Whether this is your first rig, or if Yaesu equipment is

already the backbone of your station, rest assured that your

transceiver will provide many hours of operating pleasure

for 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 FT

DX9000 transceiver,

and carrying the proud tradition of the FT-1000 series, the

FT-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 be

connected via the rear panel, providing extraordinarily sharp

selectivity to protect your receiver from close-in interference

on a crowded band.

In addition to the contribution of the VRF Preselector, su-

perb receiver performance is a result of direct lineage from

the legendary FT

DX9000, FT-1000D, and FT-1000MP. You

may select, in the front end, one of two RF preamplifiers, or

IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) utilizing direct feed to

the first mixer, and/or three levels of RF attenuation in 6-dB

steps.

Dual Receive is built into every FT-2000D. The Main re-

ceiver utilizes DSP filtering, incorporating many of the fea-

tures of the FT

DX9000, such as Variable Bandwidth, IF Shift,

and Passband Contour tuning. Digital Noise Reduction and

Digital Auto-Notch Filtering are also provided, along with a

manually-tuned IF Notch filter. The Sub receiver, used for

monitoring within the same band as the Main band, is an

analog type ideal for watching both sides of a pile-up, or

keeping 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 of

equalization may be adjusted independently for the low-fre-

quency, mid-range, and high-audio-frequency spectra, and

the transmitted bandwidth may also be adjusted, as well.

Advanced features include Direct Keyboard Frequency En-

try and Band Change, Speech Processor, IF Monitor for Voice

modes, 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 (one

each on the front and rear panels), and they may be config-

ured independently for paddle input or connection to a straight

key or computer-driven keying interface. Both Digital Voice

Recording and CW Message Memory are provided.

Frequency setup is extraordinarily simple on the FT-2000D.

Besides direct frequency entry for both the Main and Sub

VFOs, separate keys are provided for band selection, and

each band key accesses three independent VFO frequency/

mode/filter settings per band, so you can establish separate

VFO 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 modes

and with different IF bandwidths. Receiver audio can be com-

pletely or partially mixed, or monitored separately in each

ear.

In addition, 99 memories are provided, each of which stores

its 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 memories

of its own, automatically storing antenna matching settings

for quick automatic recall later.

Interfacing for digital modes is extremely simple with the

FT-2000D, thanks to dedicated AFSK and FSK connection

jacks on the rear panel. Optimization of the filter passbands,

DSP settings, carrier insertion point, and display offset are

all 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-2000D

includes a built-in data level converter for direct connection

to 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 in

the CAT System Manual, supplied with this transceiver, if

you wish to write your own software!

Advanced technology is only part of the FT-2000D story.
