The World of HF Design has just
taken a giant step!
For more than half a decade the
FT-1000 has been highly acclaimed by the world's top DX'ers. Now Yaesu has
created a new HF masterpiece, building upon proven RF design techniques
while introducing a new technology to the Amateur Radio market: Enhanced
Digital Signal Processing. With its outstanding receiver section
(featuring Collins Mechanical Filters), a clean and versatile transmitter,
plus outstanding ergonomics, the FT-1000MP brings a new level of HF
performance and design excellence to the world's most demanding amateurs.

|
|
Having long ago broken through the 100 dB receiver dynamic range
barrier, Yaesu has now revolutionised the sophisticated area of digital
manipulation of signal waveforms through the introduction of Enhanced
Digital Signal Processing (EDSP). Through skillful software design and
hundreds of hours of on-the-air evaluation, the Yaesu design team has
created an impressive array of noise-reduction and interference-rejection
filters never before available in the communications industry. Mindful of
the critical need to preserve signal-to-noise ratio and IF skirt
selectivity throughout the receiver, Yaesu engineers have retained the
wide variety of IF filters and high- intercept front end which made the
FT-1000D a best-seller Using this RF/IF design as a foundation, and the
FT-1000MP's EDSP system and Collins Mechanical Filter, the result is a
uniquely clean- sounding transmitter, receiver performance second to none,
and a total communications package without peer in the Amateur Radio
industry. |
Direct
Digital Frequency Synthesis |
Two 10-bit and three 8-bit direct digital synthesisers are used in
the FT-1000MP local oscillator system. Driven by a single TCXO master
oscillator, these synthesisers produce extremely fine tuning in thirteen
user selectable steps down to 0.625 Hz. The multiple DDS system provides
pure local signals which form the foundation of the outstanding receiver
and transmitter performance. A choice of optional TCXOs ensures
state-of-the art stability--ideal for digital operations. |
 |
Shuttle-jog Tuning Knob |
The Shuttle-jog Tuning Knob may be routed in either direction and
provides efficient QSY instead of spinning the VFO knob. The more the
"jog" ring is moved from the center, the progressive frequency steps
increase. The Shuttle- jog tuning steps and stepping speed are accessible
from the Menu system. In addition to the revolutionary new Shuttle-jog
Tuning Knob, the FT-1000MP has five other tuning methods, Main and Sub VFO
Tuning Knobs, Direct Keypad Entry, Panel and Microphone Up/Down Keys and
Memory/VFO CH Selector. |
 |
Dual
In-Band Receive |
Essential for efficient contest and split frequency DX operating,
the Dual Receive feature of the FT 1000MP allows the operator to watch
both sides of a pile up, or monitor QSOs on two different frequencies and
modes within the same band. The Main and Sub VFOs can be placed in the
"tracking" mode, allowing efficient diversity operation with a touch of a
button. The sub-receiver has its own S meter, too!

Enhanced Digital Signal Processing
(EDSP) |
The
FT-1000MP introduces the Yaesu exclusive Enhanced Digital Signal
Processing system to the world of HE operating. Operational both in
receive and transmit modes, EDSP provides 4 random-noise reduction
protocols, audio enhancement with 4 voice response equalisation programs
for both RX and TX, and an automatic notch filter which identifies and
eliminates multiple interfering carriers or heterodynes. Selectable
contours of the EDSP bandpass filtering offer low, mid, and high- range
roll-off responses, allowing the operator to cope with changing
interference conditions. Improved signal-to-noise ratio, razor-sharp
selectivity curves, and outstanding transmitted signal clarity are yours
with the exclusive EDSP system. |
|
|
EDSP IF
Demodulating & Processing |
For SSB, CW and
AM, the receiver 3rd IF output is applied to a special 10.24 kHz
EDSP IF for demodulation and processing. The selectable digital
bandpass filters provide optimised bandwidth and frequency response.
|
EDSP Noise
Reduction |
In addition to
a highly-effective dual mode IF Noise Blanker, the FT-1000MP boasts
an EDSP Noise Reduction system with 4 noise reduction protocols to
help with changing noise characteristics. |
EDSP Contour
Selections |
Unique DSP
filter networks aid in QRM reduction. Select Low, Mid, or High-cut
responses or band pass filters from the front panel. Use the
different contour selections to enhance intelligence recovery under
different interference situations. | |
EDSP RX
Audio Equalisation |
Three EDSP RX
equalisation contours provide the operator with unmatched
flexibility in reducing interference. |
EDSP TX
Modulation and Equalisation |
Early-stage
transmitted SSB audio is applied directly to EDSP circuitry for
processing. EDSP fitter parameters can be matched to voice
characteristics. The result is optimum audio tailoring and sound
clarity! |
EDSP TX
Bandpass Filtering |
The EDSP system
of the FT-1000MP allows selection of one of four low frequency cut
off parameters, so as to provide the best match to the operator's
voice characteristics. |
EDSP Automatic
Multiple Notch Filter |
Multiple notch
capability within the AF passband is possible with EDSP. The digital
notch circuitry continually analyses the AF passband and the
correlation of the signals present, identifying and notching out
heterodynes as they appear. | |
Collins Filters
|
Well known since the early '505, Collins
Mechanical Filters have dominated the high end SSB, CW and, AM
filter market. The built in Collins Mechanical Filter operates at a
center frequency of 455 kHz with a band width of 2.75 kHz (500 Hz
Collins Mechanical Filter is optional. Collins Mechanical Filters
ensure superior IF performance, thanks to their fiat passband
response, excellent skirt selectivity and very low inter- modulation
distortion. The Collins Mechanical Filters used in the FT-1000MP are
manufactured to the same standards as those used by commercial
airlines, ships at sea, and the armed forces. These filters are
ideal for voice, CW or digital modes of operation. |
Dual Receive
|
Both dual and monaural
receive are possible with stereo headphones (YH-77STA). Headphone
configurations include: * Mono-Both Main and Sub receiver audio
combined equally in both ears. * Stereo 1-Main receiver audio in

meter above the Main frequency display serves as a dual mode
enhanced tuning scale, providing a visual indication of relative
offset during Clarifier ("RIT") operation.

|
Multi-Colour
High-Resolution Display |
Never before has such a
wealth of information been provided on a transceiver display. In
addition to independent frequency and S meter displays for each VFO
the display area indicates power output, PA collector current, SWR
ALC level, RF speech processor compression and PA input voltage,
microphone gain level as well as Clarifier offset, memory
information, and directional tuning scale to assist in precise
tuning. |
QUICK SPLIT
|
To expedite set-up of the
FT-1000MP in a split DX pile up the "Quick Split" feature can be
enabled from the menu system. Activated by the A B button, the Sub
VFO is placed in the same operating mode as the Main VFO, separated
by a convenient offset (e.g."up 5"). |
Versatile
Scanning |
The FT-1000MP includes
several scanning functions which are indispensable in keeping track
of activity, These are: *Band Scanning, *Memory Scanning, *Sub band
Limited Scanning. Certain memories may be "tagged" to be skipped
during scanning, such as, for example, WW. The scanner will resume
when the squelch closes or after a preset time delay. |
3 Antenna
Connectors |
The FT-1000MP
provides 2 main antenna jacks ("A" and "B") with front panel
selection of the best antenna for current conditions. Additionally,
a separate RX only antenna such as a low-band loop may be connected
to the RX ANT jack on the rear panel; the "A" or "B" antenna will
then be used for TX and the low noise loop for RX.
|
Low-Noise
Local Oscillator System |
Providing the
foundation for the remark ably clean RX and TX performance, the
local oscillator system of the FT-1000MP is the key component of an
overall commitment to signal purity. High transmitter C/N ratio, an
exceptionally quiet receiver, and quick
switching time are the results of this design philosophy, while the
conservative ratings of the 2SC2879 PA transistors ensure many years
of trouble free competition grade performance. |
Digital
Mode Operation |
The FT-1000MP
is ideal for digital modes! In addition to the dedicated
input/output/PTT jacks for FSK and AFSK operation, the EDSP system
includes 3 filters specially tailored for digital modes.
Furthermore, the frequency display can be programmed to indicate
either the center frequency of packet tone pairs or the actual
carrier frequency. | |
