GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Yaesu’s Enhanced Digital Signal Processing (EDSP) circuitry, pioneered in the FT-1000MP, provides

awide array of interference-rejection and signal- customization features. On receive, three different sig- nal “Contour” enhancements, in addition to narrow- bandwidth peaking filters for CW and Data modes, help dig out weak signals from the noise. Combined with the EDSP Auto-Notch and Noise Reduction circuits, the IF analog filters and EDSP response Contours are without peer in the Amateur Radio industry for signal enhancement. On transmit, the EDSP Microphone Equalizer allows matching of the transmitter’s audio response to your voice’s pattern, thereby maximizing useful power output in the SSB envelope.

Advanced features include Dual Receive, Direct Keyboard Frequency Entry and Band Change, RF Speech Processor, RF Monitor for Voice modes, CW Pitch control, CW Spot switch, Full CW QSK, adjust- able IF Noise Blanker, Synchronous Tuning for AM, and all-mode Squelch. And the Yaesu-exclusive Shuttle-Jogtuning ring provides a spring-loaded manual scanning tool, perfect for sweeping across a band as you take a quick look for activity.

Frequency setup is extraordinarily simple on the MARK-VFT-1000MP. Besides direct frequency entry for both the Main and Sub VFOs, separate keys are provided for band selection, and each band key ac- cesses two independent VFO frequency/mode/filter settings per band, so you can establish separate VFO settings for two different parts of each band. The Sub VFO has its own banks of VFOs for each band, and you may copy frequencies from the Main to the Sub VFO, or swap frequencies between the two, with a single button push. The two VFOs allow simultaneous reception and display of two different frequencies, even in different modes and with different IF bandwidths. Receiver audio can be completely or partially mixed, or monitored separately in each ear.

In addition, 99 scannable memories are provided, each of which stores its own mode and IF filter selec- tion, in addition to frequency, Clarifier offset, and scan- skip status. What’s more, five quick-recall (“QMB”) memories can instantly store operational settings at the push of a button.

The built-in automatic antenna tuner includes 39 memories of its own, automatically storing antenna matching settings for quick automatic recall later.

A unique feature of the MARK-VFT-1000MPis the rear panel’s “REMOTE” jack, a multi-featured port which allows a number of possible control functions. When connected to the optional FH-1Keypad (or a home-made keypad), the REMOTE jack may be used as a control pad for the contest message keyer, or for memory/VFO control of the Main or Sub receiver.

Interfacing for digital modes is extremely simple with the MARK-VFT-1000MP, thanks to dedicated AFSK and FSK connection jacks on the rear panel. Optimi- zation of the filter passbands, EDSP 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 transceiver CPU for computer control and customization of tuning, scanning and other operating functions. The MARK-VFT-1000MPincludes a built- in data level converter for direction connection to a personal computer serial port. Yaesu products are sup- ported by most all of the leading contest and DX log- ging programs, and the programming protocol is in- cluded in this manual, if you wish to write your own software!

Special options for the MARK-VFT-1000MPinclude the TCXO-6Temperature Compensated Crystal Os- cillator module, and a wide selection of IF filters to complement the four already installed as standard. External options include the DVS-2Digital Voice Re- corder; SP-8External Loudspeaker with optional LL-7Phone Patch module; YH-77STAStereo Headset; FH-

1Remote Control Keypad; and the MD-100A8XDesk- top Microphone. Rounding out your Yaesu station, the VL-10001 KW Linear Amplifier is specifically designed to match your MARK-VFT-1000MP, providing the con- venience of fully automatic band change along with 1000 Watts of clean power output.

For safe transportation of the MARK-VFT-1000MP, a supplied separate power, the FP-29, provides the 30 Volt and 13.8 Volt power required for 200-Watt opera- tion. The reduced weight inside the transceiver case provides a greater safety margin during the shipment your MARK-VFT-1000MPvia a parcel service, or when checking it as baggage for a DX-pedition.

Advanced technology is only part of the MARK-VFT-1000MPstory. Yaesu stands behind our products with a worldwide network of dealers and service cen- ters.
