SPECTRUM SCOPE ABOUT THE SPECTRUM SCOPE This page displays the Spectrum Scope, which is convenient for monitoring band activity. The entire screen will become a spectrum display, and Both strong and weak signals from the Main (VFO-A) band receiver are clearly shown. The LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) function provides very high-speed signal detection over a limited band segment. The CTR mode (your frequency is located at the center of the screen), permits monitoring signals close to your current frequency.
SPECTRUM SCOPE EXPLANATION OF THE FUNCTION KEYS ON THE SPECTRUM SCOPE SCREEN [KEY3(ATT)] Key (Attenuator) Press this key repeatedly to attenuate the displayed signal level as shown below. The noise level on the band will vary according to conditions of your antenna, the time of day, etc.; please select the appropriate value for current conditions. 0 dB 10 dB 20 dB 0 dB ...... [KEY6(CTR/FIX)] Key Press this key to switch between the CTR mode and FIX mode.
SPECTRUM SCOPE USING THE CTR (CENTER) DISPLAY MODE It is possible to view strong and weak signals received on the Main Band (VFO-A) on the Spectrum Scope. Also, the LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) mode permits a high-speed, high-resolution sweep of a limited band segment. 1. Press the [KEY6(CTR/FIX)] key to change to the CTR mode. 2. Repeatedly pressing the [KEY6(CTR/FIX)] key will toggle between the CTR mode and the FIX mode.
SPECTRUM SCOPE USING THE CTR (CENTER) DISPLAY MODE Miscellaneous Functions SEARCHING FOR STRONG SIGNALS USING THE PEAK SEARCH FEATURE 1. Press the [KEY1(FUNC)] key to display the Marker setup screen. 2. Press the [KEY4(P.SRCH)] key to move the marker to the highest peak signal frequency. With each press of the [KEY4(P.SRCH)] key, the Marker will shift to the strongest signal frequency away from the current frequency. [KEY4(P.SRCH)] Key CHANGING THE TRACE MODE 1.
SPECTRUM SCOPE USING THE LBWS (LIMITED BAND WIDTH SWEEP) FUNCTION LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) is a function that sweeps a limited segment of the Spectrum Scope span without changing the span (bandwidth). As the sweep segment becomes narrower, the speed becomes faster, and the accuracy and resolution become enhanced. The bandwidth can be set to 50 %, 30 %, or 10 % of the full span.
SPECTRUM SCOPE USING THE FIX (FIXED) MODE This feature is convenient when you want to monitor an entire amateur band. The starting point, located at the left edge of the screen, can be set via the Menu. Even if the screen span (bandwidth) is changed, the start frequency will not be changed. By watching the screen, you can move your operation to frequencies where interesting activity appears on the display. 1. Use the [KEY6(CTR/FIX)] key to choose between the CTR mode and the FIX mode.
AUDIO SCOPE AND OSCILLOSCOPE ABOUT THE AUDIO SCOPE AND OSCILLOSCOPE The Audio Scope and the Oscilloscope displays are shown on the screen simultaneously. With the Audio Scope, the horizontal line represents frequency, and you can use this function to view the frequency response within the RX or TX bandwidth. In the Oscilloscope mode, the horizontal line represents time, and you can view the RX signal waveform within the RX bandwidth. The TX waveform is shown during transmissions.
AUDIO SCOPE AND OSCILLOSCOPE USING THE AUDIO SCOPE The Audio Scope is particularly useful when making adjustments to the transmitter, especially when setting up the Speech Processor and the Parametric Microphone Equalizer. On receive, you can observe the signal characteristics and quality of the incoming signal. The Waterfall display can be used for precise frequency alignment of incoming signals to correspond with filters used in your computer's sound card or modem.
AUDIO SCOPE AND OSCILLOSCOPE USING THE OSCILLOSCOPE The RX waveform can be observed on voice and CW modes. The TX voice waveform can also be observed, allowing optimal adjustments of setup options, and filter settings. 1. Press the [KEY6(LEVEL)] key repeatedly, to set the level appropriate for the signal strength being monitored. Available values are: 0.3 V 0.1 V 1.0 V 0.3 V ...... 2. Press the [KEY7(SWEEP)] key repeatedly, to set the desired sweep time.

TEMPERATURE / SWR INDICATION ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE/SWR INDICATION It is possible to display the VDD (TX Final Amplifier) voltage, bias voltage, the temperature of the heat sink of the final devices, and the (swept) SWR characteristics/ performance of the antenna connected, all on the same Display screen.
TEMPERATURE / SWR INDICATION GRAPHIC METER DISPLAYS VDD The drain voltage of the final FETs is measured and displayed here. In the FT-2000 (100 W version) and FT-950, the measurement range is 0 ~ 18 V, and the proper voltage is around 13.8 V. On TX, if around 13.8 V is displayed, the transceiver is operating normally. In the FT-2000D (200 W version) and FTDX5000, the measurement range is 0 ~ 60 V, and the proper voltage is around 50 V.
TEMPERATURE / SWR INDICATION SWEPT SWR DISPLAY It is possible to show the SWR characteristics and antenna performance on a graph by measuring the SWR at various points across an amateur band. In order to measure the SWR of the antenna system correctly, please turn off the antenna tuner before measuring the SWR. 1. Please confirm that the RF output is over 10 Watts. In order to measure the SWR correctly, 10 Watts of RF output will be required. The TX RF output may be adjusted using the [RF PWR] knob. 2.
