Yaesu FT-2000

Description

Yaesu FT2000  HF and 6m Base Transceiver

The Nevada Radio Warehouse highly recommend this cracking radio from Yaesu. The transceiver is a delight to operate, and Yaesu have made a great job of the new look front panel with all controls where you would expect to find them, like the separate audio controls for the sub and main band etc, and the new analogue style multi function meter is a very nice touch ! With the addition of 6m as well, this transceiver really represents great value for money. Built in power supply and new automatic antenna tuner and superb DSP noise reduction system make this an ideal choice for your new station.

The FT-2000 is the 2nd Generation in the proud lineage of the FTdx9000 Series! Featuring extensive DSP filtering, 100 Watts of power output, and a host of outstanding ergonomic and performance features, the FT-2000 is destined to be the centrepiece of your HF/50 MHz station!

The FT-2000 provides a full 100 Watts of power output (AM: 25 W) on the 160-6 Meter Amateur bands, Continuous receiver coverage from 30 kHz to 60 MHz is provided. Note: frequency coverage may differ in your country.
Extensive Receiver DSP Filtering!
The power of IF Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is yours to enjoy with the FT-2000. Variable IF Width and IF Shift allow precise interference rejection, and the receiver DSP also includes an Auto-Notch, Manual Notch, Digital Noise Reduction, and a continuously-variable passband Contour control. The WIDTH control has a mode-determined adjustment range of 200 Hz - 4 kHz for SSB, and 25 Hz to 2.4 kHz on CW, and a mode-optimized "Narrow" key provides one-touch narrowing of the bandwidth to a user-determined preset value.

A Host of Features for the CW Enthusiast!
The front and rear panels have their own key jacks, which may be set up independently for connection of a keyer paddle (for use with the internal keyer), a straight key or bug, or a computer-driven keying interface for use with contest logging software, etc. With the FT-2000, you can use both your ears and your eyes to zero in on another CW station. The CW SPOT switch engages a spotting tone that matches the offset of your transmitted signal (as set by the CW Pitch selection), allowing you to match that pitch to that of an incoming signal perfectly. And the CW Tuning Indicator provides a graphical depiction of the tuning process, with a marker lighting up when the incoming signal is precisely aligned with yours.

Huge Precision Main Tuning Dual!
The front panel's oversized 2.67" (68 mm) Main Tuning Knob is crafted using a brass JISC3604R alloy, for easy flywheel-effect frequency excursions or precision tuning of weak digital signals. The torque of the tuning knob shaft may be adjusted for just the amount of drag you prefer, and all it will take is one spin of the dial for you to know that you are in command of a serious radio!

Built-in 100-Memory Automatic Antenna Tuner
The 100 memories of matching-point data allow you to tune around the bands without the need to re-tune as you go. The special antenna tuner memories ensure efficient operation, as well as lightning-fast matching at new operating frequencies, as needed. The Automatic Antenna Tuner has a matching range of 16.7 to 150 Ohms (50 MHz: 25 - 100 Ohms).
