Dual2.6”x1”(65x25mm)ovalspeakers direct the sound
toward the front. The audio response is specially tailored
for shortwave reception.
Independent Left or Right mute capability is provided for
VFO-AandVFO-Bon the StationMonitor,withoutchang-
ing any settings on the transceiver.
Display
This LCD Monitor displays the Spectrum Scope ofVFO-
Aband activity.
[CONTRAST]([+]/ [–])Switch
These switches adjust the Contrast level of the SM-5000
display.
Press the [CONTRAST(+)] switch to increase the con-
trast. Press the [CONTRAST(–)] switch to reduce the
contrast.
Secondary Function:
Press and hold both switches for 2 seconds to engage the
Audio Tone Control mode. See page 6 (Sound Quality or
Phase Inversion) for details.
[A+B]Switch
Selects the speaker output mode during Dual Receive op-
eration.
When this switch is un-pressed ( ), the left speaker
produces audio from the VFO-Areceiver, while the right
speaker produces audio from VFO-B receiver.
When this switch is depressed ( ), mixed audio from
the VFO-A and VFO-B receivers is produced by both
speakers.
NOTE:
1) Requires FTDX5000 Menu item “108 ROUT
HEADPHN” be set to “SEPARATE”.
2) When receiving only VFO-Aor VFO-B, the audio is
routed to both speakers, regardless of the switch position.
[MUTE-A]/ [MUTE-B]Switches
The [MUTE-A]switch allows you to mute the audio from
the VFO-Areceiver. Similarly, the [MUTE-B]switch al-
lows you to mute the audio from the VFO-B receiver.
This can be particularly useful during Dual Receive op-
eration, when you want to concentrate on just one receiver
for a moment.

ABOUT THE SPECTRUM SCOPE
The SM-5000 Spectrum Scope provides a visual display of an amateur band segment tuned by the VFO-Areceiver. The default
bandwidth allows you to see both strong and weak signals clearly depicted on the monitor screen. During transmission, the
transmitter’s waveform will be displayed, except when the frequency span is set to 2500 kHz in the CTR (Center) display
mode or set to 1000/2500 kHz in the FIX (Fixed) display mode.
The LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) function provides very high-speed signal detection over a limited segment of the
currently displayed spectrum. The CTR (Center) display mode will let you monitor signals close to your current frequency (your
frequency is located at the center of the screen).When the FIX (fixed) mode is engaged, the left band edge frequency is fixed, and
your operating frequency may be indicated within the displayed bandwidth. These features have been carefully considered for
their utility in actualAmateur Radio operation.
Note: The vertical axis of the Spectrum Scope display is approximately 10 dB per division.
USING THE CTR (CENTER)DISPLAY MODE
In the CTR mode, the operating frequency is shown at the center of the monitor screen. The selected Spectrum Scope frequency
bandwidth is displayed across the monitor screen. Signals received on theVFO-Aband are shown. (To show signals more clearly
and easily, the LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) function lets you perform a high-speed, high-resolution sweep of a limited
band segment (See page 4 for details).

USING THE LBWS (LIMITED BAND WIDTH SWEEP)FUNCTION
LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) is a function that sweeps a limited segment of the Spectrum Scope span without changing
the span (bandwidth).As the sweep segment becomes narrower, the speed becomes faster, and the accuracy and resolution are
enhanced.
The bandwidth can be set to 50 %, 30 %, or 10 % of the full span. The sweep speed will increase as follows: 50 %: about 2 times
faster, 30 %: about 3 times faster, 10 %: about 10 times faster.
1. Press and hold the FTDX5000 [C.S]key for 2 seconds to
engage the Scope Menu mode.
The SUB DISPLAY-Iwindow will show the Group name
(SCOPESCOPE
SCOPESCOPE
SCOPE), while the SUB DISPLAY-II window will show
the Menu item. The SUB DISPLAY-III window shows
the setting of the currently-selected Menu item.
2. Rotate the (VFO-A)[SELECT]knob to select the Menu
item “MODEMODE

to select the desired sweep bandwidth.
