Yaesu PEP2000 - UPDATE V0150 AND V11.53 Technical manual

4/23/10
PEP2000
This procedure is used to update Main CPU Ver. 0151 and EDSP Ver. 11.54 the
flash programming for the FT-2000/D Transceivers.
We recommend installing the Flash Programming Software on a PC computer with Windows 2000,
XP or Vista Operating System; and use the CT-119 programming cable or 8-pin mini-DIN PGM-SW
(P0091526) and serial cable RS-232C, DB9F to DB9F straight cable.
NOTE: There are many USB adapters available; however some may not function with this software.
We recommend using the latest USB adapter driver software when available.
If the CT-119 programming cable or is not available you will need a RS-232C, DB9F to DB9F
straight cable and 8pin mini-DIN PGM-SW (P0091526). If the DIN PGM-SW is not available you
will need to operate the internal program switch S3004. Please follow the instructions in
ADDENDUM: Page 7 and 9.
The software versions can be displayed on the radio
While holding the three buttons [GEN]＋[50]＋[ENT] turn the radio on. The software version will be
displayed in the VFO-A window for 5 seconds then the radio will start up in normal operation.
See below: Example EDSP V11.53 and MAIN V0150 software version.
*If you already have EDSP V11.54 and MAIN V0151 software versions, it is not necessary to update the FT-
2000/D again.
The software updates will work with all versions (AF, AS, EU, NA, OC, SA or all Countries) of the
FT-2000 and FT-2000D.
The update software is available from our website at http://www.yaesu.com. The CT-119
programming cable is available from your authorized Vertex Standard dealer. You may also order
by email to Vertex Standard parts department, yaesu[email protected].
Main CPU:

Ver. 0151 MAIN CPU implements improvements (also includes all previous updates):
•AGC: Corrected the AGC in the “OFF” position; if an AGC MENU SET item was changed, the AGC
would sometimes turn “ON”.
•KEYER: The extraneous “dot” memory is eliminated during rapid keying when the dash output starts.
•CAT: Corrected the 1.5 kHz shift when the CAT “FA” command is used to change the frequency on
the 5MHz band.
•SCOPE: The right edge signal position on the display is corrected.
•SCOPE: The left edge signal is corrected when the frequency is changed on the display.
Ver. 11.54 EDSP implements improvements (also includes all previous updates):
•Corrected FM TX for a slight frequency offset.
NOTES:
*Rotate the [METER] switch to select “COM” (Compression). We recommend setting the PROC level within the 5dB
to 10dB range.
*When menu settings are saved on the DMU-2000 CF card and transferred to the new version, some previous versions
may not transfer correctly. Please check your menu, update the settings, and then save the new settings to the CF card.
