REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

INTRODUCTION

You can select and activate various transceiver func- tions via the optional FH-1Remote Control Keypad (available from your Yaesu dealer) connected to the REMOTE jack on the rear panel of the transceiver.

Four transceiver remote control features are avail- able via menu selection 7-9. Once the desired remote control operating mode is selected, pressing a key activates one of the functions available in that operat- ing mode; the function activated by a key closure might be a CW message playback, a contest number being incremented upward, or a front panel function being duplicated.

The four remote control features available are:

I. Contest Memory Keyer - The recording and play- back of repetitive contest messages are accom- plished via the keypad.

II. VFO/Memory Function Control - In this mode, the remote control keypad duplicates the front panel keys that relate to VFO/Memory selection and pro- gramming.

III. Main VFO-A Control - In this mode, the remote control keypad duplicates the functions of the front panel BAND keypad (keys “0” ~ “9”), plus [SUB(CE)] and [ENT]) as applied to the Main VFO.

IV. Sub VFO B Control - Same as above, except key- pad inputs are applied to the Sub VFO.

The features and programming techniques for the remote control features are discussed below, begin- ning with the contest memory keyer.

I.CONTEST KEYER CONTROL

The MARK-VFT-1000MPincludes a contest memory keyer which includes a number of automated features which reduce operator fatigue during long hours of contest operating.

Features

The keyer offers six CW message memories that can be used to store your callsign and/or repetitive messages like “CQ TEST DE <callsign>” or “TU QRZ <callsign>.” Additionally, a three- or four-digit contest serial number “001, 002....” may be imbedded into the

first memory location for contest exchange use. The contest number can be incremented/decremented manually, reset to an arbitrary number (in the middle of a contest), and can also be played back using “cut” numbers (“5NN TT1, 5NN TT2...”), if desired.

Linear amplifier or external antenna tuner adjust- ment may also be assisted, thanks to the momentary [TUNE] key on the keypad. Via menu selection 4-3, the tune-up power output may be limited to a maximum of 50 or 10 Watts, instead of the usual 200 Watts, and the [TUNE] then serves as a momentary (push and hold) key which activates the transmitter and puts out a carrier for tuning purposes.

Let’s now look at the storage and recall capabilities of the contest memory keyer.
