P.BACK (AUDIO PLAYBACK) FROM MAIN (VFO-A) RECEIVER

Once engaged by the operator, the FT-2000begins the automatic recording of the last 15 seconds of incoming receiver audio on the Main band (VFO-A). This capability is especially useful for confirming a callsign that may have been difficult to copy due to noise or QRM, etc.

Recording

Press and hold in the [F7(P.BACK)] button for two seconds to initiate record-

ing; the “ ” icon

will appear in the display to confirm that recording

is in progress. The re- corder will store up to 15 seconds of the Main band (VFO-A) received

audio, and will retain the most-recent 15 seconds of audio on a running basis.

Pressing the [F7(P.BACK)] button once more will halt

the recording, and the “” icon will go out.
