General Information
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 excellence and
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
FT-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, and they design transceivers with 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 effort 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 network of dealers and service centers. Feel
free to contact us if you ever need technical ad-
vice or assistance.
The FT-1000MP 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-
1000MP offers dual-VFO reception and
adjustable transmitter power output of up to 100
watts on all HF amateur radio bands (25 watts
carrier in AM mode). Anew evolution in tuning has
begun with the new shuttle jog ring that allows
large or small frequency excursions with a slight
turn of the wrist — fast, precise tuning with no more
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 automatic 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.

General Information
General Setup
Preliminary Inspection
Inspect the transceiver upon opening the pack-
ing carton. Check that all controls and switches
work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any dam-
age. Ensure the accessory fuses and plugs pic-
tured on page 4 are included. If any damage is
found, 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
service. If you have purchased optional internal
accessories separately, install them as described
on page 99.
Power Connection
The FT-1000MP can operate from DC voltage,
or, if the internal switching PS is installed, directly
from the AC mains. For 13.5 V DC operation, see
the instructions on page 103.
Before connecting AC power, check the label
on the rear panel which indicates the AC mains
voltage for which your transceiver is currently set.
If the voltage on this label does not match your AC
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
you 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 correct for your mains volt-
age:
AC Mains Voltage
100, 110 or 117 V 8A
AC Fuse Rating
200, 220 or 234 C 4A
After making certain the AC voltage for which
the transceiver is set matches your mains voltage,
and that the correct fuse is installed in the fuse-
holder, connect the AC power cord to the 3-pin AC
jack on the rear panel. Wait until all other trans-
ceiver interconnections have been made before
connecting the other end of the power cord to the
wall outlet .

General Information
Transceiver Location
To assure long life of the components, a pri-
mary consideration in setting up the FT-1000MP
is providing for adequate ventilation around the
cabinet. The cooling system of the FT-1000MP
must be free to draw cool air in at the lower rear
of the transceiver, and to expel warm air out of the
upper rear panel. Do not place the transceiver on
top of another heat-generating device such as a
linear amplifier, and do not place equipment,
books or papers on top of the transceiver. Also,
provide a few centimeters of space on either side
of the transceiver, if possible. Avoid heating vents
and window locations that could expose the trans-
ceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in
hot climates.
Grounding
For protection from shock and proper perform-
ance, 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 computer with or near the
FT-1000MP, you may need to experiment with
ground wiring to suppress computer noise in the
receiver, and ground loops during transmission.
Adjusting the Front Feet
The two front feet of the FT-1000MP can be set
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 1/4-turn) to
lock the extended foot in place. To retract an
extended foot, turn the knurled ring counterclock-
wise 1/4-turn while pressing on the center of the
foot.
Adjusting the Front Feet
page 8
Antenna Considerations
Any antennas connected to the FT-1000MP
should have coaxial feedlines with 50-Q imped-
ance, and include a well-grounded lightning ar-
restor. For the antenna connected to the main ANT
A or B jack, the automatic antenna tuner in the
FT-1000MP is capable of matching antennas with
an SWR of up to 3:1 or more on the amateur
bands to the transmitter. Nevertheless, optimum
performance for 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 unable to bring the 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 install another antenna designed for that
band. Also, if your antenna has a balanced feed-
point and you use a balanced feedline, install a
balun between the feedline and the ANT Aor 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-only antennas
have an impedance near 50 2 at the operating
frequency, you may need to install an external
antenna tuner to obtain optimum performance.
Memory Backup
The lithium memory BACKUP switch on the rear
panel is turned on at the factory, allowing VFO
and memory data to be retained while power is
off. Backup current is miniscule, so it is not neces-
sary to turn the BACKUP switch off unless the
transceiver is to be stored for an extended period.
After five or more years of operation the trans-
ceiver may fail to retain memories, at which time
the lithium battery should be replaced. Contact
your dealer for replacement of the battery, or for
instructions on how to do so yourself, see page
101.

This chapter describes each control and con-
nector on the FT-1000MP. You can just glance
through it quickly now, but some of the descrip-
tions will be more meaningful if you take the time
to read them in detail now. If questions arise later
while proceeding through the operation chapter,
you can return to this chapter with the set pow-
ered up for control knob clarification. Some con-
trols and switches are disabled under certain
conditions.
(1) POWER
This button turns the transceiver on and off.
(2) MOX & VOX Pushbutton Switches
MOX may be used in place of a microphone
PTT switch or CW key to activate the transmitter,
when depressed. It must be in the undepressed
position for reception.
VOX enables automatic voice-actuated trans-
mitter switching in SSB, AM and FM modes, and
"semi-break-in" keying in CW mode. The controls
affecting VOX operation are located in the top
access panel.
(3) AGC Selector
Selects main receiver Automatic Gain Control
decay time for most comfortable reception, or
disables receiver AGC (off). Normally this switch
is set to the AUTO position. Strong signals will
cause distortion if this selector is set to OFF.
(4) PHONES
A 1/4 inch and 3.5 mm, 3-contact jack accept
either monaural or stereo headphones with a 2- or
3-contact plug. When a plug is inserted, the loud-
speaker is disabled. With stereo headphones
such as the optional YH-77STA, you can monitor
both receiver channels at the same time during
dual reception. In this case, the headphone HP
controls (page18) beneath the top access panel
adjust levels mixed, separate or monaural head-
phone operation.
(5) KEY
This 1/4-inch, 3-contact jack accepts a CW key
or keyer paddles (for the built-in electronic keyer),
or output from an external electronic keyer. You
cannot use a 2-contact plug in this jack. Pinout is
shown on page 4. Key up voltage is 5 V, and key
down current is 0.5 mA. There is another jack with
the same name, connected in parallel with this
jack, on the rear panel.
(6) MIC © PROC
The inner MIC control adjusts the microphone
input level for (non-processed) SSB and AM
transmission.
The outer PROC control sets the compression
(input) level of the transmitter RF speech proces-
sor in SSB modes, when activated by the button
with the same name.
page 9

General Information
(7) mic
This 8-pin jack accepts the MD-100,8x or MH-
31Bs8 Scanning Hand Microphone. MIC connector
pinout is shown on page 4. Proper microphone
input impedance is 500 ~ 600 22.
(8) AF GAIN MAIN ® SUB
The inner MAIN gain control adjusts the audio
volume of the MAIN 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 dual 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
level for CW and AM transmission. Also, when the
speech processor is used in the SSB modes, this
control sets the processor level. In each case, the
ALC function of the meter should always be se-
lected when setting this control, to avoid overdriv-
ing the 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 LED in this button glows green.
(11) MONI
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 GAIN
The RF gain control adjusts the receiver signal
level in front of the main receiver 1st mixer (via
PIN diodes), and also the gain of the main re-
ceiver IF amplifiers.
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
page 10
control, but the main receiver will be insensitive to
weaker signals.
This control also affects the SQL setting for
main VFO-A, and should be preset fully clockwise
when setting the squelch threshold for the VFO or
on a recalled memory.
(13) MONI
When activated by the MONI button (above),
the audio level of the transmit RF monitor during
transmission (relative to the AF GAIN control) is
adjusted by this control.
(14) saL
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.
(15) METER Selector Switches
These determine the function of the multifunc-
tion meter during transmission. The meanings of
the abbreviations are as follows:
IC/SWR - Final amplifier collector current (Amps)
and Standing Wave Ratio (forward:reflected).
ALC/COMP - relative Automatic Level Control volt-
age and RF speech compressor level (in dB, for
SSB modes only).
VcCc/MIc - 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.
(16) ATT
This inserts 6, 12, or 18 dB (1, 2, or 3 S-units)
of attenuation before the mixer to suppress band
noise and possible overload from very strong sig-
nals.
(17) IPO
Press this to set optimum receiver front end
characteristics for strong signals. This bypasses
the front end RF amplifier and feeds the received
signals directly to the first mixer.
(18) ANT A/B RX
A/B - pressing this selects either the ANT A or B
jack on the rear panel, and allows convenient
antenna switching at the press of a button. The

General Information
selected antenna jack is also indicated at the top
of the display (above the channel group number).
RX - normally, the antenna connected to the
ANT A or B jack is used for receive (and always
used for transmit). When this switch is pressed
(display indicator on), an antenna connected to
the RX ANT is used during receive.
(19) BANDWIDTH
(A) Selectivity Indicators - these light to show the
selected filter configuration/combinations for the
2nd and 3rd IF.
(B) 8.215 and 455 - pressing these select either
the 2nd IF filter bank (8.215 MHz) or 3rd IF filter
bank (455 kHz) for individual filter selection within
that bank.
(C) 250, 500, 2.0K, 2.4K, and 6.0K
These five momentary buttons select the 2nd
and 3rd IF filters for the receiver (except in the FM
mode). In AM mode, either 2.4-kHz or 6-kHz
bandwidth is selected by pressing the 2.4K or 6.0K
button. The selectivity provided by these selec-
tions can be further enhanced by installing op-
tional filters (page 100). See the diagram on page
32 for the available filter combinations.

Note - The Sub Receiver use a double-conver-
sion circuit with 47.21 MHz and 455 kHz interme-
diate frequencies. Both 6.0 K and 2.4 K filters are
selected automatically according to mode, and
with the optional 500-Hz Collins mechanical filter
(Yaesu P/N YF-115C) installed and enabled via
menu programming, it can be selected for CW
operation.

mode, indicated by the LED in each button.
Pressing AM, CW, RTTY, or PKT multiple times will
switch between the alternate operating features
that can be used by these modes (covered later).
(21) USER
This button activates the user-programmed
custom function setting (explained in detail on
page 63). When activated, the LED inside this
button glows green.
(22) FAST
For fast tuning, press and hold this button while
rotating the main or sub tuning knobs or pressing
the UP or DOWN button to increase the tuning rate
ten times. See the table on page 25 for all avail-
able steps.
(23) Main VFO-A Knob & Shuttle Jog
The large knob adjusts the operating fre-
quency of Main VFO-A or a recalled memory.
Tuning increments are normally 10 Hz (100 Hz in
AM and FM modes). When the FAST button is
held, the increments are 10x these sizes.
The outer concentric shuttle jog allows fine or
rapid frequency excursions with just a slight turn
of your hand. Rotating the ring slightly to either
the left or right tunes up or down a few steps. The
tuning rate increases the farther the ring is ro-
tated.
page 12
(24) Lock
This button toggles locking of the main tuning
knob to prevent accidental frequency changes.
LOCK is displayed in a red box below and to the
left of the main frequency when active (the knob
can still be turned, but it does nothing). Press
again to enable the tuning knob.
(25) AF REV
Pressing this reverses the main/sub receiver
audio adjusted using the MAIN © SUB knobs on the
AF GAIN control. When activated, the LED inside
this button glows green.
(26) DOWN & UP
Pressing either of these buttons momentarily
steps the operating frequency down or up 100
kHz, respectively. Pressing and holding the FAST
button while pressing one of these buttons steps
down or up 1 MHz. Continue holding either button
for repeated stepping.
(27) MAIN VFO-A RX & TX Switch-LED
These combination lamp-switches select and
indicate the transmit/receive status of the main
tuning knob and display. When the green Rx lamp
is lit, the receiving frequency is under control of
the main knob and display (either VFO-A or a
recalled memory channel). When the red TX lamp
is lit, the transmitting frequency is under control of
the main knob and display.

(28) VFO/MEM
This button toggles main receiver operation
between the memory channel and the main VFO
(A). Either VFO, MEM, Or M TUNE is displayed to the
left of the main frequency display to indicate the
current selection. If a displayed memory has been
retuned, pressing this button returns the display to
the original memory contents, and pressing it
again returns operation to the Main VFO.
(29)M> A
Pressing this button momentarily displays the
contents of the currently-selected memory chan-
nel for three seconds. Holding this button for 1/2-
second copies the data from. the currently
selected memory to the Main VFO (A), as two
beeps sound. Previous data in the Main VFO is
overwritten.
(30) QMB
RECALL - recalls one of up to five Quick Mem-
ory Bank memories for operation.
STORE - pressing this copies operating pa-
rameters into consecutive QMB Memories.
(31) DUAL
This button activates dual-channel reception
with the main and sub receivers. When this func-
tion is active, DUAL is displayed in a box at the left
edge of the display.
(32) VFO & Memory Control
A>B
This button transfers data from the main dis-
play (either Main VFO-A or a recalled memory
channel) to Sub VFO-B, overwriting any previous
contents in the Sub VFO. Use this key to set both
Main and Sub Receivers to the same frequency
and mode.
A=B
This button exchanges the contents of Main
VFO-A (or a recalled memory channel), and Sub
VFO-B. No data is lost.
SPLIT
This activates split frequency operation be-
tween the main display (either Main VFO-A or a
recalled memory channel), used for transmission,
and Sub VFO-B, for reception. The indicator
on the display is lit while this function is active.
M CK (Memory Check)
This displays the contents of memory channels
without disturbing operation. When pressed,
is displayed above the channel number and each
memory channel can then be checked on the Sub
Receiver display by rotating the MEM selector.
Empty memory channels display as two decimals,
with no frequency digits. Press this button again
to cancel memory checking.
A>M
Pressing and holding this for 1/2 second copies
the current operating data from Main VFO-A, or a
recalled memory, to the currently selected mem-
ory channel, overwriting any previous data stored
there. Also, pressing and holding this button after
recalling a memory, without first retuning, causes
the memory channel to be “blanked,” and repeat-
ing the process restores the blanked memory.
RPT
For 29 MHz FM operation, this button activates
standard HF FM repeater offset. Pressing RPT
once or twice while receiving causes the transmit
frequency to be shifted 100 kHz below or above
the receiving frequency, respectively. A selectable
CTCSS subaudible tone is also transmitted auto-
matically when using this feature, to allow access
to repeaters that require it. Pressing RPT a third
time cancels repeater shift operation.
(33) BAND (Keypad)
The keypad provides one-touch band selec-
tion, or digital frequency entry. Normally, pressing
one of the ten white numbered keys selects the
corresponding (MHz) amateur band for operation
(and pressing the SUB button first and then an-
other key selects the band for the Sub VFO).
However, if the ENT key is pressed first, the yellow
labels on the keys become effective, for entering
any frequency one digit at a time. If you press the
white numbered key for the band your are already
on, you will select the alternate subband VFO on
that band. See the Operation chapter for details.

These lamps select and indicate the current
status of SUB VFO-B. When the green RX lamp is
lit, the receiving frequency is under control of SUB
VFO-B. When the red TX lamp is lit, the transmit-
ting frequency is under control of SUB VFO-B.
During dual receive operation, the green RX
lamps above both tuning knobs are lit.
(35) SUB VFO-B Tuning Knob
This knob adjusts the SUB VFO-B operating
frequency. Tuning increments are the same as
described for the main tuning knob.

(38) CW and Electronic Keyer Controls
SPOT turns the CW receiver spotting heterodyne
oscillator on and off. BK-IN turns full break-in
(QSK) CW operation on and off. KEYER toggles
the internal CW keyer on/off, as indicated by the
LED above this button.The SPEED control is for
speed adjustment of the keyer/bug simulator.
(39) PITCH Control
Rotate this to select your desired CW tone
pitch (from 300~1050 Hz, in 50 Hz increments),
as shown in the display. The Tx sidetone, re-
ceiver IF passband, and display offset from the
BFO (carrier) frequency are all affected.
(40) CLAR Pushbuttons
Pressing the RX button activates the CLAR
knob, to allow offsetting the receiving frequency
temporarily (see item 41 below). The TX button
provides the same function for the transmit fre-
quency. If both buttons are pressed, the receiver
and transmitter are both offset from the original
frequency. Pressing the CLEAR button zeroes any
offset tuned by the CLAR knob. Each memory and
VFO retains all clarifier settings independently.
(41) CLAR
This knob tunes the clarifier offset frequency
up to 9.99 kHz when activated by the CLAR RX TX
buttons just below it (the 3-digit display appears in
the center of the display (if enabled) when the
clarifier is active).

control adjusts the IF notch frequency. The outer
NB control adjusts the noise blanking level when
the noise blanker is activated by pressing either
NB1 Or NB2.
(44) SHIFT © WIDTH
These controls tailor the Main receiver IF pass-
band, or a recalled memory channel, in all modes
except FM. The inner SHIFT control offsets the
center frequency of the IF passband from the
displayed frequency when rotated from center.
The outer WIDTH control, when turned from center,
reduces the overall IF bandwidth from either the
lower or upper side, from the maximum selected
by the BANDWIDTH buttons.
(45) NB1 NB2
These activate the Main receiver noise blank-
ers. Press NB1 to blank short-duration pulses or
NB2 to blank longer duration pulses. The LEDs
inside each button glow green while activated.
Blanking level for both buttons is adjusted with the
outer NB knob.
(46) NOTCH
This activates the IF notch filter for the main
receiver. The frequency of the notch is set by the
control with the same name. The LED in this
button glows green while the notch filter is active.
The notch filter does not affect the Sub Receiver.
(47) Automatic Antenna Tuner Unit Controls
TUNER Pushbutton
Pressing this button so that its LED is lit places
the antenna tuner in line between the transmitter
final amplifier and the main antenna jack. Recep-
tion is not affected. The tuner is also activated
when the TUNE button (below) is pressed.
TUNE Momentary Pushbutton
Pressing this button while receiving in an ama-
teur band activates the transmitter for a few sec-
onds while the automatic antenna tuner
rematches the antenna for minimum SWR. The
resulting settings are automatically stored in one

(7) PKT
This control adjusts the tuning meter segment
indications for Packet center tuning.
(8) A-Vox (ANTI-VOX TRIP)
This control sets the level of negative feedback
of receiver audio to the microphone, to prevent
receiver audio from activating the transmitter (via
the microphone) during VOX (voice-actuated
transmit/receive switching) operation. Adjustment
is described in the Operation chapter.
(9) DLAY (VOX Delay)
This control sets the hang time of the VOX
circuit, between the moment you stop speaking,
and the automatic switch from transmit back to
receive. Adjust this for smooth VOX so the receiver
is only activated when you want to listen.
(10) vox
This control sets the gain of the VOX circuit, to
set the level of microphone audio needed to acti-
vate the transmitter during voice operation while
the vox button on the front panel is depressed.
(11) FM Mic
During FM operation, this control adjusts the
microphone gain (and transmitter deviation). More
clockwise settings produce a wider bandwidth sig-
nal.
NOTE: This control has been preset at the
factory to produce the correct deviation with
standard microphone levels. A deviation meter
