GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the FTDX5000 Yaesu

amateur transceiver!

Whether this is your first rig, or Yaesu equipment is already

the backbone of your station, rest assured this transceiver

will provide many hours of operating pleasure for years to

come.

The FT

DX5000 is an elite-class HF transceiver and will pro-

vide exceptional transmit and receive performance. The

DX5000 is designed for the most competitive operating

situations, whether you operate in contests, DX, or digital-

mode environments.

Built on the foundation of the popular FT

DX9000 transceiver,

and carrying on the proud tradition of the FT-1000 series,

the FT

DX5000 provides up to 200 Watts of power output on

SSB, CW, and FM (50 Watts AM carrier). Digital Signal Pro-

cessing (DSP) is utilized throughout the design, providing

leading edge performance on both transmit and receive.

Available as an option, the DMU-2000 Data Management

Unit will provide extensive display capabilities via a user-

supplied computer monitor: Band Scope, Audio Scope, X-Y

Oscilloscope, World Clock, Rotator Control, extensive trans-

ceiver status displays, and station logging capability.

The Yaesu-exclusive VRF (Variable RF Front-End Filter)

provides exceptional protection from strong nearby signals,

and serves as a high-performance Preselector, ideal for multi-

operator contest environments. The filter is manually tuned,

allowing the operator to optimize sensitivity or signal rejec-

tion with the turn of a knob. For the ultimate in receiver RF

selectivity, the optional RF µ-Tuning Kits may be connected

via the rear panel, providing extraordinarily sharp selectivity

and receiver protection from close-in interference on a

crowded band.

Superb receiver performance is a direct legacy from the leg-

endary FT

DX9000, FT-1000D, and FT-1000MP transceiv-

ers. In the VFO-A receive front end, you may select one of

two RF preamplifiers, or one of two IPO (Intercept Point

Optimization) settings, and/or three levels of RF attenuation

in 6-dB steps. The IPO settings provide direct feed to the

first mixer (VFO-B has one IPO setting), Dual Receives are

built into every FT

DX5000. Both VFO-A and VFO-B receiv-

ers utilizes DSP filtering, and incorporate many of the fea-

tures of the FT

DX9000, such as Variable Bandwidth, IF Shift,

and Passband Contour tuning. Digital Noise Reduction and

Digital Auto-Notch Filtering are also provided, along with a

manually-tuned IF Notch filter. The Sub receiver, used for

monitoring within the same band as the Main receiver, is

ideal for watching both sides of a pile-up, or keeping an ear

on a DX station that is working stations by call area, etc.

On the transmit side, the Yaesu-exclusive Three-Band Para-

metric Microphone Equalizer allows precise and flexible

adjustment of the wave-form to complement your voice. The

microphone Amplitude, Center Frequency, and Bandwidth

may be adjusted independently for the low-frequency, mid-

range, and high-audio-frequency spectra. The transmitted

bandwidth may be adjusted, as well.

Advanced features include: Direct Keyboard Entry of fre-

quency and Band Change, Speech Processor, IF Monitor for

Voice modes, CW Pitch control, CW Spot switch, Full CW

QSK, adjustable IF Noise Blanker, and all-mode Squelch.

Four TX/ RX antenna ports, plus a receive-only antenna port,

are provided on the rear panel. The front and rear key jacks

may be configured independently, for paddle input, connec-

tion to a straight key, or computer-driven keying interface.

Both Digital Voice Recording and CW Message Memory are

provided.

Three unique windows on the right side of the front panel,

display the VFO-B frequency and graphically show the VFO-

A and VFO-B DSP settings. In Menu Mode operation, these

windows display the menu values, for easy setting.

Set up of frequency, band and mode is especially convenient

on the FT

DX5000. Besides direct frequency entry for both

the Main and Sub VFOs, separate keys are provided for band

selection. Each band key accesses three independent VFO

frequency/mode/filter settings per band. You can establish

separate VFO settings for three different parts of each band.

The two (Main and Sub) VFOs allow simultaneous recep-

tion and display of two different frequencies, even in differ-

ent modes and with different IF bandwidths. The Dual Re-

ceiver audio can be combined, or partially mixed in each head-

phone, or monitored separately in each ear.

In addition, 99 memories are provided to store: frequency, IF

filter selection, clarifier offset, and scan-skip status. What’s

more, five quick-recall (“QMB”) memories can instantly store

operational settings at the push of a button.

The built-in automatic antenna tuner includes 100 memories

of its own, to automatically store antenna matching settings

for quick recall later.

Dedicated AFSK and FSK connection jacks on the rear panel

provide simple Interfacing for digital modes. Optimization

of the Passband filters, DSP settings, carrier insertion point,

and display offset are all possible via the Menu program-

ming system.

The Yaesu CAT system provides a direct link to the trans-

ceiver CPU for computer control and customization of tun-

ing, scanning, and other operating functions. The FT

DX5000

includes a built-in data level converter for direct connection

to a personal computer serial port. Yaesu products are sup-

ported by most of the leading contest and DX logging pro-

grams. The extensive programming protocol is described in

the CAT System, if you wish to write your own software!

Advanced technology is only part of the FT

DX5000 story.
