Features
The Alinco DJ-X2000 is a professional multifunctional receiver which covers a
wide band of radio media from the low-frequency band (LF) to ultrahigh-
frequency (UHF) band. It has the following features:
1. Wide frequency range The DJ-X2000 covers a wide frequency range from 0.1
to 2149.999950 MHz.
2. Three operating modes The DJ-X2000 has three basic operating modes: Dual
VFO, Memory (MR), and Scan Programming (PMS).
The modes can be switched by one-touch operation.
3. LARGE Memory capacity Memory function allows you to program up to 2000
channels. (40 ch ×50 banks)
4. Scanning Various kinds of scanning are available: Program scan
(PMS), Memory scan, Mode-select scan, VFO scan,
VFO-linked scan, and Priority scan.
5. 20 scan programs The PMS mode has a total of 20 programmable bands.
6. Channel Scope™ The search function checks frequencies in set
frequency steps and displays signals within a 40-
channel or 7-channel range at one time.
7. Battery-save function The battery-save function automatically saves battery
power whenever keys are not used or a signal is not
picked up for a certain amount of time.
8. Cloning You can copy the settings stored in memory from one
DJ-X2000 to another. Moreover, you can connect the
DJ-X2000 to a personal computer and copy the
settings.
9. All mode reception You can select a modulation mode from AM, NFM,
WFM, LSB, USB, CW, and AUTO. When AUTO is
selected, the DJ-X2000 automatically determines the
most suitable modulation mode for the currently
received frequency.
10. Channel step Channel step is selectable from 23 fixed steps, or you
can choose any step between 50 Hz - 500 kHz. In
addition, the DJ-X2000 determines the most suitable
channel step for the currently received frequency when
AUTO is selected.

2
11. Frequency editing You can copy the content of one memory channel to
another, or rename memory channels.
12. Transweeper™ The DJ-X2000 detects a listening microphone which
transmits a radio wave from a hidden transmitter. If a
listening microphone is found, the DJ-X2000 will alert
you with a display and warning sound.
13. Recording function The DJ-X2000 records the sound of a currently
received signal or sound from the microphone, and
replays it. The maximum recording time is 160
seconds.
14. Descrambler The DJ-X2000 can return scrambled voice transmission
to normal voice reception.
15. Flash tune If there are signals around the DJ-X2000, it tunes to the
strongest frequency in a flash.
16. RF checker This function allows you to use the DJ-X2000 as a radio
frequency counter.
17. Electric field strength meter The DJ-X2000 can measure relative electric field
strength and indicate it on the display.
18. Directional microphone The built-in microphone picks up sound and amplifies it.
19. Receives FM radio in stereo The DJ-X2000 receives stereo FM when stereo
headphones are used.
20. CTCSS decoder The DJ-X2000 decodes CTCSS tones.
21. A/B squelch This function cancels the squelch when there is no
modulation signal of 2300Hz.
22. Help-navigator The Help-navigator displays how to use each function
of the DJ-X2000. Moreover, you can jump to setting the
currently displayed function from the help menu, and
execute the function.
23. Exceedingly sensitive antenna for HF and MF
Newly developed antenna is included.
24. DC switching power supply DC switching power supply conserves battery power.
25. 2-level attenuator High (20 dB) and Low (10 dB) attenuators are
included.

1.5 About the batteries
1.5.1 Attaching the battery pack
• To detach the battery pack Slide the battery pack lock on the case to
the right and pull the case downward to
detach.
• To attach the battery pack Fit the battery pack into the holes on the
DJ-X2000 and push in the direction of the
arrow until the case snaps into the place.

15
1.5.2 About the battery pack
Before using the included EBP-37N battery pack, please note the following:
1. The battery pack is not charged before it is shipped from the factory. Charge
the pack before using the DJ-X2000 for the first time.
2. Approximately 1 hour is required to fully charge the battery pack with the
charger.
3. Charge batteries only in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F~104°F).
4. DANGER! Do not disassemble, tamper with, heat or wet the battery pack.
5. Do not short-circuit battery pack terminals. This can generate heat inside the
pack resulting in burns and/or damage to the pack.
6. Do not overcharge the battery pack. Overcharging can lead to battery
performance loss.
7. Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place where temperature is between
-20°C and 45°C(-4°F~113°F). Environments outside this range can cause
battery acid to leak and metal parts to rust.
8. The battery pack can be fully recharged approximately 300 times. When a
fully charged battery pack lasts considerably less than expected, it is time to
replace it with a fresh pack.
9. Do not throw away dead Ni-Cd battery packs. They can be recycled. Give
them to stores which accept old batteries.
10. Do not charge an unexhausted battery pack repeatedly. It may shorten the
operating time of a battery pack.
• To prevent battery pack short-circuiting
When carrying the battery pack, be extremely careful not to short-circuit the
terminals. If short-circuited, the high surge in current could heat up the pack,
resulting in burns or fire.
1. Keep the battery pack away from metal objects such as necklaces, etc.
2. Do not keep the battery pack inside bags with metal-plated linings or wrap it in
handkerchiefs with metallic thread or print.
3. Do not leave the battery pack in proximity of electro-conductive materials or
metal objects such as nails or chains.
4. Place the battery pack in an electrically-insulated bag or wrap it in a
handkerchief before putting it in your handbag, etc.
5. Place the battery pack on an electrically-insulated mat when setting it on a flat
surface.

16
1.5.3 Ni-Cd battery charger
The supplied battery charger (EDC-88) is designed exclusively for use with our
NiCd battery pack.
Precautions in using the charger
1. The battery charger is designed exclusively for use with our NiCd battery
pack. Never use it to recharge any other rechargeable battery or dry cell.
2. Do not use the battery charger as a power source for any appliance.
3. Do not disassemble the battery charger.
4. Do not put any metal piece or wire in the battery charger, nor short-circuit the
recharging terminals.
5. Do not use the battery charger in a location where the temperature rises high,
e.g., near a heater or under direct sunlight, or where the dust or humidity level
is high.

• Recharging procedure
1 Plug the AC power cord into the AC power
socket on the battery charger.
2 Insert the battery pack being recharged, along
the guides provided on both sides of the battery
charger. The lamp will be illuminated in red, and
quick recharge will be started.
3 When the quick recharge is completed, the lamp
changes its color to green, indicating that
supplemental recharge (*) has started.
4 About four hours after the quick recharge has
started, the lamp starts blinking in green,
indicating that the supplemental recharge has
been completed.
Note: The supplemental recharge means recharging the battery pack with a small
electric current to prevent its capacity from decreasing due to the self-
discharge. This does not overcharge the battery pack.

Precautions in recharging
1. Ensure that the transceiver is OFF when recharging the battery pack. The use
of the transceiver during recharging can cause the transceiver to malfunction.
2. The battery charger is designed to be used at an ambient temperature
between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F). Avoid recharging the battery pack
at any temperature outside this range.
3. Do not repeatedly recharge a fully recharged battery pack. This can cause
the performance of the battery pack to deteriorate. The battery pack can be
recharged up to 300 times when it is used normally. If the life of the
completely recharged battery pack becomes markedly shorter, the battery
pack is considered to have been exhausted. Please purchase a new battery
pack.
4. Do not insert the battery pack in a reverse direction.
5. When the battery pack has been recharged completely, with the lamp blinking
green, remove the battery pack from the battery charger.
6. If the battery charger is not used for a long period of time, disconnect the AC
power cord from the wall socket, and remove the battery pack from the battery
charger.
7. If you recharge a battery pack of which voltage has abnormally dropped due
to discharge, the lamp starts blinking red and a preliminary recharge initiates
immediately after you have started recharging the battery pack.
Subsequently, the lamp will be illuminated red, indicating that the quick
recharge has started.
