Vertex Standard FT-1000MP Manual Do Utilizador

1. S/PO Scale

Thirty-one bargraph segments indicate relative re-

ceived signal strength (one S-unit = 6 dB) from S-0 to
S9 +60 dB. On transmit, RF power output from 0 to
400 Watts is displayed.

2. IC/SWR/ALC/COMP Scale

Indicates final amplifier collector current (IC) from

0 to 30 amps, standing wave ratio (SWR) from 1.0 to
3.0, speech compression from 0 to 30 dB, ALC (auto-
matic level control) operating range, DC supply volt-
age level, or microphone audio input level.

3. Tuning Scale

This multi-function tuning scale provides a center

tuning segment for zero beating CW stations, and twin
bars (“goal posts”) for accurate tuning of mark and
space tones associated with digital modes, such as
RTTY, Packet, and AMTOR.

This appears whenever the Main receiver squelch

is open (VFO-A).

This appears whenever the Sub receiver squelch

is open (VFO-B).

This appears when the PTT is keyed and transmis-

sion is occurring. If transmission is inhibited for some
reason (for example, attempting to transmit outside an
amateur band), this indicator will blink.

Fast VFO tuning rate is active.

This indicates that dual-receive operation is acti-

vated.

This indicator appears whenever split-frequency

operation is activated.

Front panel tuning knob and/or buttons are locked.

This appears whenever general coverage tuning is

selected (when tuning outside an amateur band).

Appears while tuning within programmed frequency

limits in the PMS (Programmed Memory Scan) mode.

Displays sub-resolution tuning steps or Clarifier off-

set in segmented increments.

When the VRF feature is engaged, this scale dis-

plays the peak position for the narrow-band
“preselector” filter.

14. QMB (Quick Memory Bank)

This indicates that stored memories from the Quick

Memory Bank are active for recall and operation.

VFO tuning or VFO operation is selected.

This indicator shows that memory operation is se-

lected (by pressing the [VFO/MR] button).

Appears while retuning the frequency of a selected

memory channel.

One of these segments lights, along with the “RPT”

indicator, when the “repeater mode” function is acti-
vated in the FM mode, indicating the direction of TX
offset.

This displays the current operating frequency, and

also provides alphanumeric character display of pro-
gramming menu selections and settings.
