General Description
Congratulations on the purchase of your
Yaesu amateur transceiver! Whether this is your
first rig, or if Yaesu equipment is already the
backbone of your station, rest assured that your
transceiver will provide many hours of operating
pleasure for years to come.
We want you to feel that you are now a part of
the Yaesu Team; after all, we also share the excit-
ing hobby of amateur radio communications you
do. In fact, Yaesu Musen's history in Amateur
Radio goes back to 1959, being the first to intro-
duce and manufacture quality, high-performance
SSB transceivers for the amateur market. Yaesu
Musen also manufactures a broad range of high-
quality commercial equipment that public serv-
ices, businesses, and mariners depend on every
day.
Following the same tradition of excellenceand
innovation into the twenty-first century, Yaesu
Musen paves the way, incorporating the latest
microprocessor and RF technology in our com-
munications equipment. Yaesu transceivers have
scaled mountains, crossed storm-tossed oceans,
and even orbited Earth. Some Yaesu equipment
are legends in themselves, such as the classic
TT-101, and the industry standard of excellence,
the FT-1000D. Each Yaesu model is the result of
extensive research, design, and development.
Most Yaesu engineers are also licensed ama-
teurs,andtheydesigntransceiverswith operators
in mind. The product of this combined effort is
evident in Yaesu equipment's rugged construc-
tion, comfortable operation, and of course, high
performance.
But the eftort doesn't
stop here. With the pro-
gression of amateur radio along with the high-
technology race, each transceiver incorporates a
wealth of operating features to
help you "keep up
with the crowd." User-friendly controls and pro-
gramming let
you easily manage your new oper-
ating capabilities,
with just a few simple
keystrokes?
Along with
the philosophy that each Yaesu
transceiver should serve you
well into the future,
Yaesu stands behind our products with a world-
wide networkof dealers
and sewicecenters. Feel
free to contact us
if you ever need technical ad-
vice or assistance.
The
FT-I BOOM$ is an advanced, state-of-the-
art amateur transceiver incorporating a multitude
of new and advanced operating features provid-
ing competitive operation in all modes. The FT-
I OOOMP offers dual-VFO reception and
adjustable transmitter power output of up to 100
watts on all
HF amateur radio bands (25 watts
carrier inAM mode).
A newevolution intuning has
begun with the new shuttle
jog ring that allows
large or small frequency excursions with a slight
turn of thewrist
- fast, precisetuningwith nomore
tiresome cranking.
Most of the transceiver's advanced features
and settings are now viewed and selectable from
within the menu programming system, which is
easily recalled from the front panel
- no more
power-on sequences,
DIP switch settings, or
elaborate push-button combinations for your cus-
tom settings. Operating frequency and other
im-
portant settings for both VFOs are viewed on a

General information
bright, colorful fluorescent discharge display. A
multi-display meter features delayed "peak-hold"
segments and a directional tuning meter to assist
in zeroing-in stations, regardless of mode. The
new expanded tuning scale lets you view relative
clarifier offset or sub-incremental tuning (0.625-,
1.25,2.5- or 5-kHz steps).
Station size is kept to a minimum with the
compact internal
AC switched-mode power sup-
ply, built-in automatk antenna tuner and elec-
tronic CW keyer. The full-featured keyer has two
iambic keying modes,
a "bug" emulator, adjust-
able weighting and
ACS (Automatic Character
Spacing) circuit to improve your CW sending.
Superb receiver performance is a result of di-
rect lineage from the legendary FT-1000D. New
technology Direct Digital Synthesizers (two 10-bit
and three 8-bit) are used inthe local oscillator (all
driven by a single TCXO masteroscillator),result-
ing in extremely fine tuning with thirteen select-
able tuning steps down to 0.62%Hz. Select either
flat or tunedfront end RFamplification (usingfour
FETs ina double push-pull, constant-gain stage),
direct feed to the mixer with IPO (Intercept Point
Optimization), and three levels of RF attenuation
in 6-dB steps.
Two VFOs allow simultaneous reception and
displayof two different frequencies, even indiffer-
ent modes and with different IF bandwidths. Re-
ceiver audio can be cor-npletelyor partially mixed,
or monitored separately in each ear. With inde-
pendent bandwidth and mode selection for each
receiver, plus an option for separate antennas,
diversity reception is possible when both VFBs
are tuned to the same frequency.
To battle
QRM, the FT-1000MP comes
equippedwith a formidable defense. Finetailoring
of the IFpassbandismadepossiblewith individu-
ally-selected, cascaded 2nd & 3rd crystal filter
banks. World-renowned Collins mechanical 500-
Hz CW filters are available as options for the Sub
Receiver 2nd
IF, and Main Receiver 3rd IF strip.
An
IF notch filter and concentric IFshift and width
controls are also provided. The
IF width circuit
nowallows continuously narrowing receiverpass-
band by selectively moving either the upper or
lowerfilter skirtjust as muchas neededto reduce
QRM while still preserving valuable bandwidth.
Yaesu's new EDSP (Enhanced Digital Signal
Processing) system provides four random-noise
reduction settings, selectable band pass filtering
with adjustable low and high-cutoff skirts, and
transmitted audio enhancement with four voice
response equalization schemes. In addition,
EDSPprovides an automaticnotchfilter that iden-
tifiesand attenuatesheterodynes asthey appear.
Separate keys are also provided for band se-
lection, and each band key accesses two sub-
band VFO freq~ency/mode/filtersettings Per
band, so you can keepseparate VFO settingsfor
two different parts of the band, on all bands. In
addition, 99 scannable memories are provided,
each of which stares its own mode and IF filter
selection, in addition
to frequency, clarifier offset,
and scan status. In addition, five quick-recall
memories can instantlystore operational settings
at the push of a button.
VFO, band, and memory
scanning now have three scan resume modes
and an auto-write feature that stores active chan-
nel in memories as they are found. The built-in
automatic antennatuner includes 39memoriesof
its own, automatically storing antenna matching
settings for quick automatic recall later. Of course
the front panel keypad can also be usedto key in
operating frequencies directly
A user-customization key allows recalling pre-
configured parameters for often-used operating
setups, or unique operating modes such as FAX
and
SSTV. The special remotecontroljack allows
push-button control of the full-featured program-
mable CW contest memory keyer, transceiver re-
mote operation and direct frequency entry. CW
enthusiasts can take advantage of the
CW re-
verse sideband selection, and showave Iisten-
ers will enjoy the AM synchronous tuning mode.
TheYaesu CATsystemprovides a direct link to
the transceiver CPU for computer control and
customizationof tuning, scanning andother oper-
ating functions. The FT-IOOOMP now includes a
built-in data level converter for direction connect
to a personal computer serial port. Special op-
tions for the FT-1000MP include the TCXO-4/6
Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator
modules and a wide selection of
IF filters to com-
plement the eight already installed as standard.
External options include the DVS-2 Digital Voice
Recorder and SP-8 External Loudspeaker with
optional
LL-7 Phone Patch module; the YH-
77STA Stereo Headset; and the MD-100~8~
Desktop Microphone.
Before connecting power, please read the In-
stallation section carefully, heeding the warnings
in that section to avoid damage to the set. After
installation, please take time to work through the
Operation chapter, referring to the Controls
&
Connectors chapter as necessary for details.

(7) MIC
This 8-pinjack accepts the MD-100~8~or MH-
31 88 Scanning I-land Microphone. MlC connector
pinout is shown on page
4. Proper microphone
input impedance is 500
- 600 Q.
(8) AF GAIN MAlN -@ SUB
The inner MAIN gain control adjusts the audio
volume of the MAlN receiver VFO in the speaker
or headphones.
The outer
SUB gain control adjusts the audio
volume of the SUB receiver VFO in the speaker
or headphones.
Both controls can be rotated to adjust the rela-
tive balance of receiver audio between the two
receiver channels during dblal reception.
(9) RF PWR
This adjusts transmitter output power in all
modes. The adjustment range is from approxi-
mately 5
- 100 watts, except in AM mode,where
it is about
5 - 25 watts.This controls the carrier
levelfor CW andAM transmission. Also, whenthe
speech processor is used in the SSB modes,this
control sets theprocessor level. Ineachcase,the
ALC function
sf the meter should always be se-
lected when settingthis control, to avoid overdriv-
ingthe transmitter final amplifier.
(10) PROC
This button enables the RF speech processor
for SSB transmission. Processing level is set by
the outer control with the same name. While acti-
vated, the LEDinthis button glows green.
This orange button enables the transmit (RF)
monitor in all modes (except
CW, in which the
monitor function is always on, to produce the
sidetone). While activated, the
LED in this button
glows green.
(12) RF GAlN
The RF gain controladjusts the receiver signal
level in front of the main receiver 1st mixer (via
PIN diodes), and also the gain of the main re-
ceiver IFamplifiers.
It is normally set fully clockwise for maximum
sensitivity.When rotated CCW, the S-meter mini-
mum deflection point will move up the scale. The
peak deflection for a particular signal will remain
the same if it is greater than the level set by this
control, but the main receiver
will beinsensitive to
weaker signals.
This control also affects the
SQL setting for
mainVFO-A, and should bepresetfully clockwise
when setting the squelch threshold for the VFO or
on a recalled memory.
When activated by the
MQNl button (above),
the audio level of the transmit RF monitor during
transmission (relative to the
AF GAlN control) is
adjusted by this control.
This control sets the signal level threshold at
which main VFO-A receiver audio
is muted (and
the green
MAIN BUSY display indicator turns off), '
in all modes. This control is normally kept fully
CCW, except when scanning and during FM op-
eration.
\
(1 5) METER Selector Switches
These determine the function of the multifunc-
tion meter during transmission. The meanings of
the abbreviations are as follows:
ICISWR - Final amplifier collector current (Amps)
and Standing Wave Ratio (f0rward:reflected).
ALGICOMP - relativeAutomatic LevelControlvolt-
age and RF speech compressor level (in dB, for
SSB modes only).
VCCfMIC - Final amplifier collector voltage and
microhone gain input level.
The meter indicates power output and the se-
lected parameter during transmission, and signal
strength in S-units during reception (on the main
receiver). Each S-unit is approximately 6 dB.
This inserts 6, 12,or
6 8 dB (1, 2, or 3 S-units)
of attenuation before the mixer to suppress band
noise and possible overload from very strong sig-
nals.
Press this to set optimum receiver front end
characteristics for strong signals. This bypasses
the front end
RF amplifier andfeeds the received
signals directly to the first mixer.

General information
i General Setup
Inspectthetransceiveruponopeningthepack-
ing carton. Check that all controls and switches
work freely, and inspectthe cabinetfor any dam-
age. Ensure the accessory fuses and plugs pic-
tured an page 4 are included. If any damage is
fokand, document it completely, and contact the
shipping company (or dealer, if you purchased it
over-the-counter) right away. Save the packing
materials in case you need to return the set for
sehice. If you have purchased optional internal
accessories separately, installthem as described
sn page 99.
Power Connection
The FT-1000MPcanoperatefrom DC voltage,
or, if the internalswitching PS is installed, directly
from the AC mains. For 13.5V DCoperation,see
the instructionson page 103.
Before connecting AC power, check the label
ore the rear panel which indicates the AC mains
voltage for which your transceiveriscurrentlyset.
If the voltageonthis labeldoesnotmatchyourAC
mains voltage, a switch on the internal power
supply in the transceiver must be moved,and the
fuse must be changed. This requires only a
screwdriver and is not difficult (see below), but
ysln should make sure the power supply is set up
correctly before connecting power. If you have
any doubts about the procedure, contact your
dealer for assistance. We also recommend that
you open the fuse holder on the rear panel, and
check that the fuse is correctfor your mainsvolt-
age:
AC Mains Voltage
AC Fuse Rating
After making certain the AC voltage for which
the transceiver isset matchesyour mainsvoltage,
and that the correct fuse is installed in the fuse-
holder,connectthe
AC powercordto the 3-pin AC
jack on the rear panel. Wait until all other trans-
ceiver interconnections have been made before
connectingthe other end of the power cordto the
wall outlet

hat climates.
Grounding
For protection from shack and proper perform
anee, connect the GND terminal on the rear panel
to a good earth ground, using a heavy braided
cable of the shortest length possible. All other
station equipment should
be connected to the
same grounding cable,
as close together as prac-
tical. if you use a compukr with or near the
FT-1OQOM&q you may need to experiment with
ground wiring
to sugspress computer noise in the
receiver,and ground loops during transmission.
Adjusting the Frant Feet
Thetwofrontfeet of the FT-1 OOOMP can beset
in either of two positions. By turning the knurled
ring around a (retracted) foot clockwise, the mid-
dle of the foot
will extend about one centimeter,
Turn the ring as far as it will go (about 'I4-turn) to
lock the extended foot in place.
Ps retract an
extended fool, turn the knurled rigcgunterclock-
wise '/4-turn while pressing on the center of the
foot.
Any antennas connected to the FT-1000MP
should have coaxial feedlines with 50-a imped-
ance, and include a well-grounded lightning ar-
restor. Forthe antenna connected tothe main
ANT
A or B jack, the automatic antenna tuner in the
FT-I QOOMP is capable of matching antennaswith
an
SVVW of up to 3:1 or more on the amateur
bands to the transmitter. Nevertheless, optimum
pedormancefor both reception and transmission
will generally result with an antenna designed to
provide
a 50-Q unbalanced resistive load at the
operating frequency. An antenna that
is not de-
signed for resonance at the operating frequency
may present too high an
SWR to allow proper
matching with the built-in antenna tuner, in which
case the antenna itself should be readjusted, or
an outboard antenna tuner used.
If the tuner is unableto bringthe
SWR down to
an acceptable level, attempting to transmit will
result in an automatic reduction in power output
and increased losses in the feedline. Operation
under such conditions is not recommended: it is
better to installanother antenna designed for that
band. Also, if your antenna has a balancedfeed-
point and you use a balanced feedline, install a
balun betweenthefeedline andthe ANTAOr
B jack
of the transceiver.
The same precautions apply to any additional
(receive-only) antennas connected to the
RX ANT
jack, except that neither of these antennas will
have the benefit of the built-in antenna tuner.
Therefore, unless such receive-snly antennas
have an impedance near 50 Q at the operating
frequency, you may need to install an external
antenna tuner to obtain optimum performance.
Memory Backup
The lithium memory BACKUP switch onthe rear
panel is turned on at the factory, allowing
VFO
and memory data to be retained while power is
OM. Backupcurrent isminiscule,so itisnotneces-
sary to turn the
BACKUP switch off unless the
transceiver
is to bestoredfor anextended period.
After five or moreyears of operation the trans-
ceiver may fail to retain memories, at which time
the lithium battery should be replaced. Contact
