Front Panel Controls & Switches
1. [POWER] Switch
Press and hold in this switch for two seconds to turn the transceiver on. Press and hold
in this switch for two seconds, similarly, to turn the transceiver off.
2. [ANT 1-2] Switch
Pressing this selects either the ANT 1 or 2 jack on the rear panel, and allows
convenient antenna switching at the press of button. The selected antenna jack is
indicated at the Block Diagram Display in the display.
3. [TUNE] Switch
This is the on/off switch for the FT-950’s Automatic Antenna Tuner.
Pressing this button momentarily places the antenna tuner in line between the
transmitter final amplifier and the antenna jack (“TUNER” icon will appear in the
display). Reception is not affected.
Pressing and holding in this button for two seconds, while receiving in an amateur
band, activates the transmitter for a few seconds while the automatic antenna tuner
rematches the antenna system impedance for minimum SWR. The resulting setting is
automatically stored in one of the antenna tuner’s 100 memories, for instant automatic
recall later when the receiver is tuned near the same frequency.
Pressing this button momentarily, while the Tuner is engaged, will take the Automatic
Antenna tuner out of the transmit line.
Note: When the Automatic Antenna Tuner is tuning itself, a signal is being transmitted.
Therefore, be absolutely certain that an antenna or dummy load is connected to the
selected antenna jack before pressing and holding in the [TUNE] button to start
antenna tuning.
4. [MOX] Switch
Pressing this button engages the PTT (Push to Talk) circuit, to activate the transmitter
(the LED inside this button will glow red). It must be turned off (the red LED will be
off) for reception. This button replicates the action of the Push to Talk (PTT) switch on
the microphone. When engaging the [MOX] button, or otherwise causing a
transmission to be started, be certain you have either an antenna or 50-Ohm dummy
load connected to the selected Antenna jack.
Press and hold in this switch for two seconds to turn the transceiver on. Press and hold
in this switch for two seconds, similarly, to turn the transceiver off.
