FUNCTION
[

(
ZONE

Key
This key moves you to a screen used for input of the
location of the other station. When the country name
and the city name are entered, your location and the
opposite station’s will be connected with a line and
displayed on the Great Circle map (short path only).
The location of the other station can be set when Ro-
tator control is in the manual mode.
Press the
[
F4
(
MODE
)]
key as needed to select the
manual mode. The mode is indicated in the middle of
the Display.
[

Key
When a Yaesu Rotator (G-800DXA, G-1000DXA, or
G-2800DXA) is connected to the transceiver, and you
press this key, you can rotate the antenna in the CCW
(counter clockwise) direction.
[
F3
(
CW
)]
Key
When a Yaesu Rotator (G-800DXA, G-1000DXA, or
G-2800DXA) is connected to the transceiver, and you
press this key, you can rotate the antenna in the CW
(clockwise) direction.
In order to direct the antenna to the desired/opposite sta-
tion, a Great Circle Map can be displayed on the screen.
This Great Circle map will show your location at the cen-
ter of the map, and you can easily recognize and confirm
the direction your antenna should be pointed to work a
station elsewhere in the world.
In addition, when a Yaesu Rotator (G-800DXA, G-
1000DXA, or G-2800DXA) is connected to the FT-2000
transceiver, the transceiver can control the direction of
the rotation, rotation speed, etc. on the display screen.
In this case, the rotator has to be connected to the FT-
2000 via the optional cable T9101556, available from
your YAESU dealer.
If the “Rotator Control” screen does not initially appear,
press the
[
DISPLAY
]
key to switch the Function key’s func-
tion to “Page Select Key,” then press the
[
F6
(
ROTATOR
)]
key momentarily to display the “Rotator Control” screen.
Next, press the
[
DISPLAY
]
key again to switch the Func-
tion key’s function to the “Function Key.”
IMPORTANT NOTE
The Display Group Menu Item “012 diSP RTR
STU” in the FT-2000 Operation Manuel (page
112) or FT-2000D Operation Manuel (page 116)
must be set to match the starting point of your
rotator control indicator needle. The default set-
ting is zero (north). If your controller starting
point is south, then the menu must be set to 180
degrees. If not set properly the DMU-2000 dis-
play will not show the correct direction.
