CONNECTION OF ANTENNA AND POWER CABLES
Follow the below illustration and advice regarding the proper connection of antenna coaxial cables, ground cable, and the AC power cable.

ANTENNA "1

Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect your station equipment to the buried ground rod (or alternative earth ground system).
ADVICE: Do not place the transceiver in a location with direct exposure to sunshine. Do not place the transceiver in a location exposed to dust and/or high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation around the transceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible reduction of performance due to high heat. Do not install the transceiver in a mechanically-unstable location, or where objects may fall onto this product from above. To minimize the possibility of interference to home entertainment devices, take all precautionary steps including separation of TV/FM antennas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the greatest extent possible. Keep transmitting coaxial cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment devices. Ensure that the AC power cord is not subject to undue stress or bending, which could damage the cable or cause it to be accidentally unplugged from the rear panel AC input jack. Be absolutely certain to install your transmitting antenna(s) such that they cannot possibly come in contact with TV/FM radio or other antennas, nor with outside power or telephone lines.

KEY, KEYER, AND COMPUTER-DRIVEN KEYING INTERCONNECTIONS
The FTDX5000 includes a host of features for the CW operator. These functions will be detailed in the Operation section later. An Electronic Keyer is built-in, and two key jacks are provided, one on the front and one on the rear panel, for convenient connection to keying devices. The Menu system allows you to configure the front and rear panel KEY jacks according to the device you wish to connect. For example, you may connect your keyer paddle to the front panel KEY jack, and use Menu item 054 A1A F-TYPE for paddle input, while connecting the rear panel KEY jack to the keying line from your personal computer (which emulates a straight key for connection purposes), and configure the rear panel jack using Menu item 056 A1A R-TYPE. Both KEY jacks on the FTDX5000 utilize Positive keying voltage. Key-up voltage is approximately +5V DC, and keydown current is approximately 1 mA. When connecting a key or other device to the KEY jacks, use only a 3-pin (stereo) 1/4 phone plug; a 2-pin plug will place a short between the ring and (grounded) shaft of the plug, resulting in a constant key-down condition in some circumstances.

[NB] Knob The inner [NB] knob adjusts the noise blanking level when the VFO-B (analog) IF noise blanker is activated by pressing the [NB] button. [SQL] Knob The outer [SQL] knob sets the signal level threshold at which the VFO-B receiver audio is muted, in all modes. The squelch is very useful during local rag-chews, to eliminate noise between incoming transmissions. This control is normally kept fully counter-clockwise (off), except when scanning and during FM operation.

(VFO-A) [NB]

[MONI]

[PROC] Knobs
[MONI] Knob The inner [MONI] knob adjusts the audio level of the transmit RF monitor during transmission (relative to the AF GAIN control), when activated by the [MONI] button. [PROC] Knob The outer [PROC] knob sets the compression (input) level of the transmitter Speech Processor in the SSB, AM, and FM modes, when activated by the [PROC] button. ADVICE: The relative compression level of the Speech Processor will show for 3-seconds in the lower right corner of the Main Display whenever the outer [PROC] knob is turned. Alternately, the 3-second display feature may be changed to show in the SUB DISPLAY-III window via Menu item 018 DISP INDI. Additionally, you may disable the 3-second display feature via Menu item 017 DISP LVL IND See page 122 for details.

Page 19

[RF PWR] Knobs
[MIC] Knob The inner [MIC] knob adjusts the microphone input level for (non-processed) SSB transmission. ADVICE: Adjust the MIC Gain while speaking in a somewhat-louder-than-normal voice. Watch the ALC level and adjust the MIC Gain so that the ALC indication reaches just to the right edge of the scale. Then, when you speak in a normal voice level, you will not over-driving the mic amplifier stage. The relative Microphone Gain level will show for 3-seconds in the lower right corner of the Main Display whenever the inner [MIC] knob is turned. Alternately, the 3-second display feature may be changed to show in the SUB DISPLAY-III window via Menu item 018 DISP INDI. Additionally, you may disable the 3-second display feature via Menu item 017 DISP LVL IND See page 122 for details.

Using Headphones for Dual Receive
To take advantage of dual reception, you will want to connect stereo headphones to the PHONES jack. In addition to the AF GAIN controls, headphone audio mixing can also be configured as desired from Menu item 108 ROUT HEADPHN. Three audio mixing schemes are selectable as follows: SEPARETE: Audio from the VFO-A receiver is heard only in the left ear, and VFO-B receiver audio solely in the right ear. CONBINE1: Audio from both VFO-A and VFO-B receivers can be heard in both ears, but VFO-B audio is attenuated in the left ear and VFOA audio is attenuated in the right ear. CONBINE2: Audio from both VFO-A and VFO-B receivers are combined and heard equally in both ears (Monaural mode).
Sideband Diversity Reception
Here you receive a single AM signal through the two receivers, each receiving the opposite sideband. Skywavepropagated signals often show phase distortion in this mode, but it gives you a view of the entire passband, from which you can then select the best sideband for listening (or for SWL Dxing, you may want to listen to both sidebands at the same time, to get the best copy). On groundwave signals, where the phase of the sidebands is likely to be the same, there is an interesting sense of depth to the signal. To tune in a signal using this mode, you should have stereo headphones connected to the front panel PHONES jack. Set VFO-A to either LSB or USB mode, and tune for zero beat on the desired signal. Press the [A B] button to copy this mode and frequency into VFO-B, then press the [MODE] button to select the opposite sideband for VFO-A. If using headphones, set the headphone mixing scheme to the CONBINE1 mode via Menu item 108 ROUT HEADPHN, and activate dual reception. Adjust the [AF GAIN] knob(s) to balance the volume of the two receivers. If interference is present on one of the channels, you may have to turn its [AF GAIN] knob to suppress that channel (or press the green [RX] button to disable the receiver with the sideband experiencing interference). Otherwise, try changing the headphone audio mixing scheme to CONBINE2 or SEPARETE in the Menu item 108 ROUT HEADPHN, for different effects (or try settings with similar effects, if you use an external audio amplifier). Although you dont get the stereophonic effect in the monaural mode, the two signals are still mixed, offering the potential for much better copy than in regular AM or even single-sideband ECSS modes.

VFO Tracking Feature

You may lock VFO-B to track in unison with VFO-A when the main tuning dial is adjusted. See page 83 for details. Go to Menu item 038 GENE TRACK to set the tracking function as follows: OFF: VFO-A and VFO-B tune independently (Default) BAND: Band Change operations will be applied to VFOA and VFO-B simultaneously. FREQ: VFO-A and VFO-B tune in unison when The Main Tuning dial is adjusted. However, VFO-B may be adjusted separately.

Page 43

Bandwidth Diversity Reception
This mode involves receiving the same signal through two different bandpass filters. The frequency and mode of both VFO-A and VFO-B are the same. VFO-A can be set up for a wide bandpass, using the [WIDTH] knobs, and VFO-B for a narrow bandpass, resulting in a spatial perception of the channel. Although any mode (except FM) can be used, CW offers the widest array of choices, and perhaps the most startling effects on crowded channels. Stereo headphones or external stereo speakers are recommended for this mode. To set up the transceiver for bandwidth diversity reception: Select the desired mode on VFO-A. Tune to the signal of interest. Press the [A B] button to copy this mode and frequency into the VFO-B. If using headphones, set the headphone mixing scheme to the CONBINE1 mode via Menu item 108 ROUT HEADPHN, and activate dual reception. Adjust the [AF GAIN] knob(s) to balance the volume of the two receivers. Now try manipulating the [SHIFT] and [WIDTH] knobs to observe the interesting effects of bandwidth diversity.

Polarity Diversity

Similar in concept to the bandwidth diversity just described, another interesting capability of the FTDX5000 dual reception, is the ability to use two different antennas on the same frequency. For example, you might have a horizontal Yagi on the main band, and a vertical antenna on the sub band, then lock the two frequencies together and engage dual reception. Frequently, the fading observed on the HF bands is not so much a change in ionization level, but rather a shift in the polarization of the signal as it travels to and from the ionosphere. Having an oppositepolarization antenna available can fill in the signal during deep fades. You may then transmit on whichever antenna is providing the strongest signal at the moment (see the discussion below on Split Frequency operation).

Page 44

P.BACK (AUDIO PLAYBACK) FROM MAIN (VFO-A) RECEIVER
When Audio Playback is engaged by the operator, the FTDX5000 begins automatically recording the last 15 seconds of incoming receiver audio on VFO-A. Recording is controlled with the supplied FH-2 Remote Control Keypad, plugged into the rear panel REMOTE jack. 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 FH-2s [P/B] key for two seconds to initiate recording. The icon will appear in the display to confirm that recording is in progress. Press the FH-2s [P/B] key briefly to halt recording; the icon will go out.

(VFO-B)[SHIFT] Button [CLEAR] Button
Refer to Figure A and notice the depiction of the IF DSP filter as a thick line in the center of the passband, no shift (the [SHIFT] button glows red). In Figure B, an interfering signal has appeared inside the original passband. In Figure C, you can see the effect of rotating the [SELECT](shift) knob and moving the filter so that the interference is outside of the passband.

Desired Signal

ADVICE: You may select the display pattern shown in the SUB DISPLAY window from three patterns via Menu item 019 DISP SELECT. See page 122 for details.

WIDTH (IF DSP BANDWIDTH) TUNING (SSB/CW/RTTY/PKT MODES)
The IF Width tuning system allows you to vary the width of the DSP IF filter passband, to eliminate interference. Moreover, the bandwidth may actually be expanded from its default setting, should you wish to enhance incoming signal fidelity when interference on the band is low.

VFO-A WIDTH Operation

Press the ( VFO-A )[ WIDTH ] button. The ( VFOA)[WIDTH] button glows red, and the center position of the IF passband will be indicated in the SUB DISPLAY-II window. The (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob will now function as the IF WIDTH knob. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to the left or right to reduce the interference. Press the (VFO-A)[CLEAR] button briefly to set the bandwidth to default. To turn the IF WIDTH operation off, press the (VFOA)[WIDTH] button again. The red LED of the (VFOA)[WIDTH] button turns off, and the bandwidth will be set to default. However, the last setting of the IF WIDTH control will be retained until you change it again.

Referring to Figure B, you can see the default bandwidth (the [WIDTH] button glows red). By rotating the [SELECT](width) knob to the left, the bandwidth will narrow (see Figure A). Rotation of the [SELECT](width) knob to the right, as depicted in Figure C, will widen the bandwidth. The default bandwidth, and total bandwidth adjustment range, will vary according to the operating mode and the [NAR] button setting:

The IF Notch filter is a highly effective system that allows you to slice out an interfering beat note or other carrier signal from inside the receiver passband.

VFO-A IF Notch Operation

Press the ( VFO-A )[NOTCH ] button. The (VFOA)[NOTCH] button glows red, and the current null (or Peak) position of the IF notch filter will appear in the SUB DISPLAY- II window. The ( VFOA)[SELECT] knob will now function as the notch adjustment knob. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to adjust the center frequency of the IF notch filter. Press the (VFO-A)[CLEAR] button to move the null position to center. To switch the IF notch filter off, press the (VFOA)[NOTCH] button once more.

ADVICE: The width of the IF notch null may be adjusted using Menu item 110 RDSP NOTCH WI. Both Wide and Narrow selections are available, with Narrow providing the least disruption of the desired signal. You may select the display pattern shown in the SUB DISPLAY window from three patterns via Menu item 019 DISP SELECT. See page 122 for details. When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit is connected, the effect of the IF notch filter may be observed using the Audio Scope (on the Oscilloscope page). The notch will be seen as a dip in the noise platform observed. Whats more, the Waterfall display may be used to observe the effect of the IF notch filter, which will appear as a white area in the colored background. The tuning rate for the IF notch is somewhat slow while you adjust the [SELECT](notch) knob, so the use of the Waterfall display to confirm proper adjustment is highly recommended.

Press the (VFO-B)[DNF] button. The button glows red, confirming that the DNF system is engaged. To switch the DNF system off, press the ( VFOB)[DNF] button once more.

QUICK POINTS: The higher fidelity associated with wide bandwidth will be particularly enjoyable on the low bands, during local rag-chew QSOs. The 3000WB setting is a special hi-fidelity setting, whereby the transmitted bandwidth is in excess of 3 kHz. This selection, in conjunction with judicious adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer (see next chapter) can provide truly outstanding fidelity and very natural-sounding audio. When using the wider bandwidth selections (especially 3000WB), the apparent power output from the transmitter may seem lower. This is because the available power from the transmitter is being distributed over a wider bandwidth, and the power detection circuitry does not compensate for the effect of the bandwidth selection (it is calibrated in the default 2.4 kHz bandwidth).

Page 77

LOW- DISTORTION CLASS-A OPERATION (SSB MODE)
Class-A operation of the FTDX5000 transmitter is provided, yielding ultra-low distortion products during SSB operation. Power output during Class-A operation is 75 Watts. 1. To engage Class-A operation, press the [CLASS-A] button. The icon will appear in the display, confirming that Class-A operation has been selected. 2. Engaging the Class-A mode actually places the transceiver in a condition whereby the Bias level may be adjusted, via the Menu mode. 1) Press the [MENU] button briefly, to engage the Menu. 2) Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob, and select Menu item 169 TGEN BIAS. 3) Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to select the desired BIAS level 1 - 100 to set the transceiver for operation anywhere between Class-A and ClassAB (Class-AB has lower heat dissipation but higher distortion products). A menu setting of 100 will place the transmitter fully in Class-A operation. Counter-clockwise rotation of the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob will move the transmitter toward Class-AB operation. The menu setting 1 will place the transmitter fully in Class-AB operation. ) Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two sec4 onds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 3. To exit from the CLASS-A mode, press the [CLASSA] switch once more. The icon disappears, confirming that the CLASS-A mode has been disengaged.

ADVICE During Class-A operation, 10-Amps of Bias current will be flowing, regardless of the modulation level that leads to actual power output. Therefore, if the ambient temperature in your operation location is high, the transceiver temperature may rise as well, due to the high bias level (which must be dissipated as heat). Depending on the temperature, you may wish to reduce the BIAS level using menu item 169 TGEN BIAS, to reduce the amount of heat being generated. When the optional DMU-2000 Data Management Unit and a video monitor are connected, you can monitor the heat sink temperature on the video monitor; thus, you can always be aware of a rise in temperature during Class-A operation. Normally, the temperature is below 80 C. If the temperature rises to near or above this value, however, we recommend you adjust the BIAS level toward Class-AB via menu item 169 TGEN BIAS (decrease the numerical value to reduce the heat being dissipated). An innovative aspect of the Class-A mode is that the actual power output is always limited to 75 Watts. So even though you might adjust the BIAS in the direction of Class-AB operation, the power output will not rise; this eliminates the need to re-tune your linear amplifier, if used. QUICK POINT Class-A operation provides a significant improvement in transmitter distortion suppression. During Class-A operation, the 3rd-order IMD products are typically suppressed 45 dB. The 5th- and higher-order IMD products that can cause splatter and interfere with others, will typically be suppressed 70 dB or more. If you are using a linear amplifier such as the VL-1000, the low distortion produced by the FTDX5000s transmitter means these intermodulation distortion products will not exist to be amplified by your linear.

Page 88

ADVICE: You may disable the CW sidetone by pressing the [MONI] button. The icon will turn off, confirming that the Monitor is now disengaged. When you utilize your keyer paddle, the transmitter will automatically be activated, and the CW characters (or a string of dots and dashes) will be transmitted. When you release the keyer paddle contacts, transmission will cease after a brief delay. The delay time is user-programmable, per the discussion on page 93. If you reduce power using the [RF PWR] knob, the ALC meter reading will increase. This is normal and does not indicate any problem whatsoever (because increased ALC voltage is being used to lower the power).
Full Break-in (QSK) Operation
As shipped from the factory, the FTDX5000 TX/RX system for CW is configured for Semi-break-in operation. However, using Menu item 063 A1A BK-IN, you may change this setup for full break-in (QSK) operation, whereby the switching is quick enough to hear incoming signals in the spaces between the dots and dashes of your transmission. 1. Press the [MENU] button to enter the Menu mode. 2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT] knob to select Menu item 063 A1A BK-IN. 3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to set this Menu item to FULL. 4. Press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit.

Page 89

A number of interesting and useful features are available during Electronic Keyer operation.
SETTING THE KEYER WEIGHT (DOT/SPACE:DASH) RATIO
The Menu may be used to adjust the Weight for the built-in Electronic Keyer. The default weighting is 3:1 (a dash is three times longer than a dot or space). 1. Press the [MENU] button briefly, to enter the Menu mode. 2. Rotate the (VFO-A )[ SELECT] knob to select Menu item 065 A1A WEIGHT. 3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to set the weight to the desired value. The available adjustment range is for a Dot/Space:Dash ratio of 2.5 ~ 4.5 (default value: 3.0). 4. When you are finished, press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
SELECTING THE KEYER OPERATING MODE
The configuration of the Electronic Keyer may be customized independently for the front and rear KEY jacks of the FTDX5000. This permits utilization of Automatic Character Spacing (ACS), if desired, as well as the use of the electronic keyer via the front jack and a straight key or computer-driven keying line via the rear panel. 1. Press the [MENU] button briefly, to enter the Menu mode. 2. Rotate the (VFO-A )[ SELECT] knob to select Menu item 057 A1A F-TYPE (for the front KEY jack) or 059 A1A R-TYPE (for the rear-panel KEY jack). 3. Rotate the (VFO-B)[SELECT] knob to set the keyer to the desired mode. The available selections are: OFF: The built-in Electronic Keyer is turned off (straight key mode). BUG: Dots will be generated automatically by the keyer, but dashes must be sent manually. ELEKEY: Both dots and dashes will be generated automatically when you use your paddle. ACS: Same as ELEKEY except that the spacing between characters is precisely set by the keyer to be the same length as a dash (three dots in length) 4. When you are finished, press and hold in the [MENU] button for two seconds to save the new setting and exit to normal operation.
