ROTATOR CONTROL FUNCTIONS

When using a YAESU model G-800DXA, G-1000DXA, or from the front panel of the FT-2000.

1 Press and hold in the [ENT] button (one of the [BAND] button) for two seconds. The frequency display area will change over to the “Rotator Control” configura- tion.

2Press either the [F2(CH-2)] button or the [F3(CH-3)] button to rotate the antenna. Pressing the [F2(CH-2)] button will cause rotation to the left (counter-clock-

wise), while pressing the [F3(CH-3)] button will cause rotation to the right (clockwise).

3Press the [F5(MEM)] button or the [F6(DEC)] button to control the speed of rotation. Pressing the [F5(MEM)] button will cause slower rotation, while pressing the [F6(DEC)] button will speed up rotation. Usually, you will be using the “100%” setting.

When you are through exercising rotator control, press the [ENT] button momentarily. The frequency display will return to the main display field.

IMPORTANT NOTE

￿Set to match the starting point of your rotator control indicator needle via the Menu item “012 diSP RTR STU.” The default setting is zero (north). If your controller starting point is south, the Menu item “012 diSP RTR STU” must be set to “180°.” If not set properly the FT-2000display will not show the correct di- rection.

￿When the rotator control indicator needle does not indicate the precise antenna direction, ad- justs the indicator needle precisely to the an- tenna direction via the Menu item “013 diSP RTR ADJ.”
