1. Press the FM mode key to select the FM operating
mode.
H Be sure that the FM mode is being selected on the proper
VFO; check the status of the A and B switches above the
mode selection keys before making your mode selection.
H The LED (Red or Orange) corresponding to the VFO on which
you selected FM (Main or Sub, respectively), will light up.
2. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial (in the case of Main
(VFO-A) operation) to select the desired operating
frequency. If using the optional MD-200A8X Desk
Microphone, pressing the [UP] or [DOWN] button
will cause frequency change in 5 kHz steps.
3. Press the microphone’s PTT switch (or press the front
panel MOX switch) to transmit. Speak into the mi-
crophone in a normal voice level. Release the PTT or
MOX switch to return to receive.
4. Adjustment of the microphone gain may be accom-
plished in two ways. At the factory, a default level has
been programmed that should be satisfactory for most
situations. However, using Menu item MODE-FM
058 FM MIC GAIN, you may set a different fixed
value, or choose the “MCVR” optin, which then lets
you use the front panel MIC control to set the mi-
crophone gain in the FM mode. The microphone gain
should be set such that deflection of the ALC meter
goes all the way to the right side of the ALC meter
scale.
Advice
The FH-2 may be used, int eh FM mode, for storage
of voice memory messages. See page 92.
FM is only used in the 28 MHz and 50 MHz Amateur
bands covered in the FT DX 9000D. Please do not
use FM on any other bands.
Reduction of the setting of the RF PWR knob will
cause the deflection of the ALC meter to increase; this
is normal.
