Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V Field review by W4TI

Demonstrates how to construct an automatic band decoder, moving beyond manual selector switches for antenna and filter control. It addresses the challenge of varying band data outputs from different transceivers: Icom rigs provide voltage values, Yaesu rigs use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), and Kenwood rigs lack direct band data output. The resource highlights a clever solution utilizing logging software like _CT (K1EA)_ and _DX4WIN_ to emulate Yaesu's BCD output via a PC's printer port, making the decoder compatible with any rig. The author details experiences building decoders based on designs by Bob _K6XX_ and Guy _ON4AOI_, noting K6XX's simple TTL chip design and ON4AOI's more comprehensive, opto-isolated unit capable of controlling ten outputs and bandpass filters like the _Dunestar_. It also references a _W9XT_ board design, which Steve Wilson, G3VMW, modified with BD140 transistors for source drivers, emphasizing safety. The author successfully cased an ON4AOI-based decoder in an old modem case, connecting it to an FT1000MP or a PC printer port to drive remote relays and a Dunestar Band Pass Filter.

The Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V, introduced at Dayton 2000 Hamvention, features a higher RF power of **200 W PEP** and a Class-A amplification SSB mode at 75 W. Key enhancements include an _Interlocked Digital/Analog Bandwidth Tracking system (IDBT)_, a Variable Front-End Filter (VRF) preselector, and improved ergonomics, notably a multi-function shuttle jog dial. This model, a successor to the 1996 FT-1000 and FT-1000MP, was designed to compete with high-end transceivers, despite its retail price of $4200 initially. The transceiver's physical dimensions are 406 x 135 x 348 mm (16 x 5.3 x 13.7 inches) with a weight of 14 kg (31 lbs), making it substantial. Its rear panel offers over 20 connections, including power, external DSP speaker, BAND DATA I/O, ALC, and multiple interface jacks for DVS-2, Packet, and RTTY. The unit also provides two keyer inputs, a DB9M serial interface for CAT, and two PL female antenna connectors, plus additional receive antenna jacks. Despite its advanced internal architecture, including two independent receivers with their own IF filters and AGC loops, the display technology, utilizing fluorescent discharge rather than LCD, contributes to an older aesthetic. The control panel is extensive, featuring 92 knobs and buttons, alongside numerous LED indicators for various modes and functions.

Keyclicks and NB modifications for the Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark-V HF transceiver

A page dedicated to Yaesu Mark V/FT-1000MP transceiver squarely aimed at the high performance contest and DX crowd.

YaesuFT1000MK V stands out with improved close-spaced SSB transmit performance, reversing a trend seen in other modern radios. Featuring a class-A mode, it offers clean HV finals when kept out of ALC. However, two significant flaws persist: the noise blanker causes receiver IM distortion, and the transmitter lacks wave-shaping on CW, resulting in pronounced keyclicks. Preliminary tests reveal strong keyclicks +1kHz and -1kHz, prompting a combined modification to address both issues.

Optimizing on-air audio for SSB, DXing, and contesting operations is addressed through a range of specialized audio processing equipment. The offerings include multi-band equalizers, specifically 5-band, 8-band, 10-band, and 12-band units, some integrated with features such as compressors, echo effects, noise gates, and phase rotation capabilities. These devices are engineered to interface with common amateur radio transceivers, with explicit compatibility noted for models like the Yaesu FT-DX10, FT-DX101D, FT-1000MP, FT-DX5000, Collins HF-380, and Flex 6300, alongside analog S/P meters for Icom rigs. The product line focuses on enhancing microphone audio characteristics, supporting XLR dynamic microphones for improved signal clarity and presence. The manufacturer, DB6QW Electronics, emphasizes direct support and a 100% manufacturer's warranty, reflecting confidence in product quality and operational reliability. This resource details specific audio processing tools designed to refine the transmitted audio signal, providing operators with granular control over their voice characteristics for competitive and casual amateur radio communications.
