OPERATING MANUAL FT-ONE YAESU MUSEN CO., LTD. cp ©. BOX 1500FT-ONE GENERAL COVERAGE ALL MODE SOLID STATE TRANCEIVER GENERAL DESCRIPTION The FT-ONE presents substantial breakthroughs in the top of the linc HIF transceiver field. From the standpoints of operating control, izeuit design and layout, performance, size and weight; the Yaesu engineering staf? has stretched the very limits of the state-of-the-art for tomorrow's Amateur needs with the reliability normally reserved for the Commercial industry The front control panel of the FT-ONE sports both dual metering and dual digital displays along with twelve separate LED status indicators, showing at a glance exactly what the ansceiver operating conditions are at all times. 24 keys, including a numerical keyboard, allow complete frequency contrel; including split frequency operation, scanning and 10 VFOs operable over the entire frequency range with one finger. Multiple tuning rates down to 10Hz per steps are also key selectable. Automatic Mic Gain Control (AMGC) is provided to eliminate background noise on transmit, and is adjustable from the front panel along with noise blanker threshold, Notch/APF frequency, IF Shift and Width, RF speech processor compression level, SWR meter adjustments, FM Squelch, keyer speed, VOX gain and delay, and PIN attenuator, as well as the usual controls (except. for Plate and Tune controls, since it is all solid state; a preselector, since RF tuning is microprocessor controlled: and @ bandswiteh, since it has just one band—30 MHz wide) Glas epoxy plugin circuit cards with spacious component layouts and easy access are used throughout the standard FT-ONE, so that many of the alignment procedures can be performed without removing anything but the top cover.The built-in AC power supply for the FT-ONE is a lightweight highly stable supply that operates on any standard line voltage between 100 and 234 VAC. The RF circuit design incorporates a PIN diode attenuator system which is either manually controlled or automatically actuated in the presence of strong signals on receive, and which is automatically controlled by the microprocessor CPU to guarantee constant transmitter power output on all frequencies. A pair of bipolar power transistors is used as an extremely high level (+40 dBm output intercept point) RF amplifier in receive, doubling as an RF output predriver-in transmit. 6 VCOs are used to ensure clean Local Oscillator signals to the Schottky diode ring mixer module, From the solid-state finals 100-watts of RF pass through a 3-section low-pass filter selected by the CPU. Full break-in (QSK) CW operation is a standard feature, even for cross band split frequency operation. A total of 22-poles of crystal filtering is used in the standard receiver IF scheme, with provision for optional narrow bandwidth CW 8-pole filters in the earlier stages and 6-pole filters in the later filter stages, allowing 14-poles of filtering as standard for SSB, and a completely separate 14- poles of narrow filtering for CW. The operator can control the IF passband width and center frequency (shift), as well as audio frequency notch and peak filters. An IF noise blanker, RF speech processor and cooling fan are standard inclusions, while a built-in CMOS keyer and an internal FM unit are available as options. It is important that the operator study this manual carefully in order to derive full performance and maximum enjoyment from the FT-ONE ACCESSORIES (supplied as standard) AC POWER CORD 1 2 wire, 2 prong plug (DC-546-007) 19013280 3 wire, 3 prong UL plug (UC-904-016) 79013282 3 wire, 3 prong Australian plug (SC-411-001) 9013283 3 wire, 2 prong EU plug (YFC-14K) 79013285 (Cord Band) 83000023 FUSE 10A (100-117 VAC) 00000071 SA (200-234 VAC) 0000008 (1) 05a, (Backup) 0000001 I DUMMY PLUG 30011201 RX JUMPER CABLE 3001119, EXTENDER FOOT 3054620 2 PAD 3054630 2 BOTTOM PANEL FEET The feet on the bottom panel may be changed, if it is desired to change the viewing angle for the FT-ONE.

However, the operator may not be familiar with the functions of some of the controls, and improper adjustment may degrade transceiver performance. Therefore, be certain that you understand the functions of all controts and switches before operating the FT-ONE, 1) METER This switeh selects METER 1 indication of various Functions to monitor wansceiver operating condi~ tions. IC: This position indicates the current drain of the final transistors during transmission VCC: In this position, METER 1 will show the DC source voltage of the tcanseeiver (during, both transmit and receive). DISC: In the FM mode, the meter indicates any tuning error in the receiving frequency. Adjust the receiver frequency so that the meter indicator is at the center of the scale COMP: While in this position, the meter shows the compression level of the builtin speech processor, FWD: This position monitors relative forward power output, To measure SWR (Standing wave ratio), set the moter indivation level to full seale during transmission REF: After full-scale adjustment in the FWD position has been made, the meter will indicate the reflected power (SWR) in this, switch position. 2) VOX/FWD SET vox This control is used to set the sensitivity of the VOX (voice operated TX/RX switching). Clockwise rotation of the VOX control increases the sensitivi- ty of the circuit. In the MOX position, the trans- mitter is activated until the control is rotated out of the click-stop. The PTT position provides pusito-talk operation from a footswitch or the microphone PIT switeh. A jack is provided on the rear panel for footswitch input During CW operation, the VOX circuitry to be activated, providing semi- breakin operation, The VOX and DELAY controls, should be set for the appropriate switching hang time. idetone will cause the FWD SET This control is used for full-scale adjustment of METER 1 (METER switch in FWD position) for SWR measurement3) a) b) °) qd) e) f) LEVER SWITCHES POWER This is the main power on/off switch for the transceiver. In the off position, the memory- backup circuit is activated. (An additional memory backup unit for power outages is an available option. This unit protects the memory whenever the supply voltage to the transceiver is cut off.) PROC This switch activates the RF speech processor. NB This switch activates the noise blanker. When a pulse noise interferes with reception, this switch should be activated, and the blanker threshold adjusted, so as to eliminate the interference. AMGC ‘The Automatic Microphone Gain Control switch enables a microphone gain threshold circuit which requires a minimum input level from the microphone before the microphone amplifier is activated. The AMGC feature is useful in a noisy environment, as background noise such as that generated by an amplifier fan will be eliminated in gaps between words and sentences. This circuit may be thought of as a “microphone squelch” system. MONI This switch allows you to monitor the speech signal from the microphone, such as for tape recording purposes. On CW, the MONI switch activates the CW sidetone. See the section on operation regarding CW sidetone operation. APF/NOTCH This switch activates an audio filter for enhanced reception. In the APF (Audio Peak Filter) mode, very narrow audio bandwidth is provided, for single-signal CW reception. In the NOTCH position, an audio notch may be placed on an interfering carrier. The center frequency of the peak or notch is varied by means of the APF/NOTCH potentiometer on the front panel 8) AGC This switch selects the recovery time for the receiver AGC circuitry. Providing fast or slow recovery speeds, it will also tum off the AGC, if desired. h) SCAN This switch selects the desired stop mode during scanner operation. When this switch is placed in the AUTO mode, the scanner will halt on any signal which is strong enough to engage AGC action (SI or stronger on the S-meter). To stop the scan manually while in the AUTO mode, place the SCAN switch in the STOP position momentarily. Place the SCAN switch in the MAN position for manual scanner operation; the scanner will be activated when the UP or DOWN switch on the keyboard or microphone is pushed. Release the UP/DOWN switch to halt the 4) PHONES This is a standard two conductor jack for output to headphones. The impedance of the headphones should be 4 to 8 ohms. Insertion of a plug into this jack will automatically disconnect the intemal speaker. 5) MIC This cight-pin connector accepts the microphone audio input, as well as the push-to-talk (PTT) and scanning control lines. The nominal microphone impedance is 600 ohms. 6) MIC This control adjusts the gain of the microphone amplifier for SSB and AM operation. Clockwise rotation increases the gain ‘MIC/COMP comp This controls the compression level of the RF speech processor. 7) DELAY/KEYER DELAY ‘This control adjusts the hang time of the VOX circuitry for SSB voice or CW semi-break-in opera tion, When rotated fully counterclockwise into the -6-clickstop, the transceiver will provide full CW break-in operation in which the receiver recovers between dots and dashes (“QSK” operation). KEYER This control varies the speed of the (optional) internal electronic keyer module, when installed. 8) DRIVE/NB DRIVE This is the output carrier level control for the AM, FM, CW and FSK modes. While operating on the SSB mode with the RF speech processor on, this control adjusts the drive level NB This is the noise blanker threshold control. When the Noise Blanker is switched on, tuming the knob clockwise lowers the threshold, causing the blanker to be more sensitive to lower levels of impulse noise 9) MODE This switch has eleven positions for selection of the operating mode desired: LSB, USB, CW(N), CW(M), CW(W), PSK(W), FSK(N), AM, FM, and RX-U/TX-L (receive USB; transmit LSB), RX-L/ ‘TX-U (receive LSB; transmit USB). 10) APF/NOTCH The APF/NOTCH control varies the APF/NOTCH filtering center frequency to anywhere within the 300 Hz ~ 1500 Hz frequency range. 11) SHIFT/WIDTH The SHIFT and WIDTH controls are mounted on concentric shafts. The WIDTH control varies the center frequency of the third IF across the pass- band of the second bank of crystal filters in the IF, the first bank presenting a fixed boundary. The SHIFT control then varies the selected IF passband for optimum interference rejection. The controls are slaved with moderate friction between them for fingertip adjustment of the IF shift feature. 12) RF GAIN ‘This control varies the gain of the receiver RF and IF amplifiers. For full S-meter operation and maximum receiver sensitivity, this control should be set fully clockwise. 13) AF/SQL AF This control varies the level of the receiver audio output from the speaker or headphones. Clockwise rotation increases the audio output. SQL. In the FM mode, the SQL contro! keeps the receiver silent until a signal is present on the receiving frequency. Normally, this control is set to the point where the receiver noise just disappears, so as to provide maximum response to weak signals, (FM unit optional), 14) TUNING KNOB This is the main tuning knob of the transceiver. It can be used to control the frequencies of the 10 VFO's selected by the VFO SELECT SWITCH. Clarifier frequencies can also be controlled by this, knob. The functions of this knob may also be controlled from the keyboard. Continuous rotation will vary the transceiver frequency from 150 kHz to 30 MHz, The frequency variations per rotation may be selected from 2 kHz, 20 kHz or 10 MHz by the FINE and MHz pushbuttons. 15) PUSHBUTTON SWITCHES a) FINE This switch allows precise zeroing-in on a signal. When this switch is pushed, frequency changes via the tuning knob can be made in 10 Hz steps at 2 kHz per turn (verses 100 Hz at 20 kHz per tum normally). Press this switch again to return the frequency steps to 100 Hz. b) MHz Press this switch while simultaneously rotating the tuning knob, and the operating frequency digits to the left of the decimal point will change in 1 MHz steps continuously from 0 — 29 MHz, while the digits to the right of the decimal point will remain unchanged. PER TURN] T pisnsws,| 2kH2 | 20kHz | 10MHz FINE | MHz©) CLAR This switch activates the clarifier, allowing up to #9.9 kHz offset in frequency. The frequen- cy offset is shown on the sub-digital display. Press this button again to tum the clarifier off. The clarifier frequency steps are normally 100 Hz when the FINE TUNING feature is not activated. If precise tuning is desired, press the FINE button to tune in frequency steps of 10 Hz. 4) RX-TRX While the clarifier function is activated, press this button once to activate the clarifier function for both transmit and rei quency offset. If the button is pushed again, the clarifier function will return to receiver offset only, ive fre- e) LOCK Press this button to disable frequency changes via the tuning knob, thus preventing in- advertent frequency changes. Press this button a second time to release the lock. While the VFO is locked, frequency entry from the keyboard is still possible. 16) KEYBOARD This keyboard allows you to contro! the operating frequency, scanning and VFO selection (refer to the “OPERATION” section for details). 17) A-VFO-B These selectors allow you to select one of the VFO channels. Both selectors are used when you operate on different frequencies for transmit and receive. VFO A or VFO B can be selected through the VFO SELECT SWITCH, or their functions can be alternatively controlled via the keyboard, Frequencies stored in the same numbered channels of VEO A and VFO B are the same. 18) VEO SELECT SWITCH This switch selects the desired VFO mode (VFO A, VEO B or KEYBOARD), providing either split operation or simplex operation. VFO channels and VFO modes can, alternatively, be selected through the keyboard. A This position allows you to operate on the fre- quency selected by VFO CH SELECTOR A for both transmit and receive. B This position allows you to operate on the fre- quency selected by VFO CH SELECTOR B for both transmit and recei RATB This position provides operation on the frequency selected by VFO CH SELECTOR A for receive and, VFO CH SELECTOR B for transmit. RB-TA This position provides operation on a frequency selected by VFO CH SELECTOR B for receive and VFO CH SELECTOR A for transmit. KEYBOARD When the VFO SELECT SWITCH is in the KEY- BOARD position, the VFO mode and channel selections are controlled entirely via the keyboard. 19) RF ATT This control adjusts the attenuation provided by the receiver front end PIN diode attenuator. This control may be used for tailoring the noise figure of the receiver to the level of band noise present on the operating frequency. The attenuator may also be used to minimize intermodulation problems caused by extremely strong local signals. 20) DIGITAL DISPLAY II ‘This miniature LED display indicates the VFO channel selected, as well as the clarifier frequency offset (when activated). When a minus sign (—) appears, the clarifier frequency is lower than the original operating frequency. 21) INDICATORS ‘These indicators provide quick verification of the various operating functions. When a particular LED is illuminated, the respective function is in opera- tion. PROC This LED lights up when the RF speech processor is tuned on.NB This LED indicates that the noise blanker is in operation. AMGC When the AMGC (automatic microphone gain control) circuit is activated, this LED turns on. MONI This LED lights up when the SSB voice monitor and CW sidetone are activated. APF When the APF/NOTCH switch is placed in the APF position, this LED indicates that the audio peak filter is activated, NOTCH When the APF/NOTCH switch is placed in the NOTCH position, this LED indicates that the audio notch filter is activated. A. SCAN When the SCAN switch is set to the automatic scanning position, this LED lights up. RX When the receiver clarifier is activated, this LED lights up. TRX When the receive/transmit clarifier is activated, this LED lights up. D, LocK This LED turns on when frequency entry via the tuning knob is disabled (dial lock on). 19 Ze TRCV With the VFO SELECT SWITCH in the KEY- BOARD position, the TRCV LED lights up when- ever the transceive mode is selected through the keyboard. During split frequency operation, this LED turns off. TX. DIS This LED lights up when the transmit frequency is outside the amateur bands. As long as this LED is illuminated, the transmitter is disabled. 22) DIGITAL DISPLAY 1 This LED digital display shows the operating frequency, providing resolution to 100 Hz. 23) METER 2 This meter indicates the signal strength at the receiver (S-meter) and the ALC level for the transmitter. 24) METER 1 This meter informs you of the operating condition selected by the METER switch. 01.2 3.45 6 7 8 910111213 14 15 16 17 18 19 2021 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2930 MHz TX ENABLE A ‘TX DISABLE STANDARD MODELREAR PANEL CONNECTIONS | 1 1) PIN JACK BOARD B RCV-1 @ @ ‘This jack allows connection of an external receiver to the main station antenna.
