As a quick check, I tried the Yaesu with my Kenwood TS-930 on 30 meters, using a high horizontal dipole plus a 225ft 'cone of silence' optimum length Beverage. Results were quite encouraging, so I went ahead and bought a BPF-1 unit for the Yaesu. I also added the 600Hz filter for the sub-rx, which really is essential for CW work. Diversity adds a wonderful 'presence' to received signals which is hard to describe- it must be experienced first-hand. The improvement in intelligibility is well worth the effort it takes to get it. I was quite pleased with the results, so I added the G-mod which allows tuning both main and sub-receivers around the band using only the main VFO. The SPOT switch is adapted for switching this feature in and out. Another mod I definitely plan to do is the one by K0FF, which regains the capability for the main rx to listen on the Beverage antennas when a BPF-1 has been installed (and also for the sub-rx to listen on the main rx/tx antennas, even on different bands).There are not many ham transceivers on the market that have a totally separate sub-receiver, from separate antenna jacks all the way through to separate audio channels. Tuning up and down the bands in true diversity mode is a real treat! Now I am 'spoiled' by it, and single-channel, single-antenna signals have a muffled or 'muddy' sound by comparison. Note that some ham transceivers have sub-receivers but share the bandpass filters or even an IF strip. Only with the added BPF-1 is the FT-1000 able to do true antenna diversity. (How does the MP handle this?) My observation is that diversity is especially worthwhile for the low bands, 30, 40, 80, and 160 meters. If two antennas are available and both can hear a signal reasonably well, your ear- brain filter will take care of the rest, even with fairly different signal levels between the two. Probably using two antennas of opposite polarization will give the best results, but using space diversity with antennas of the same polarization might also provide some improvement in intelligibility. I was surprised to learn that some FT-1000 owners have the BPF but do not use it much; also some do not use the radio's DUAL function, but rather seem to treat the separate sub-rx mainly as a remote VFO for split transmitting, or perhaps as just another memory. While in diversity mode, you can still use the CLARifier in the radio for rx/tx splits up to 10KHz- this should cover many or even most split transmit situations encountered, though certainly not all of them. For very crowded or noisy band conditions, one of the narrower Inrad filters in the sub-rx would be a good idea. So far, I have only had one incident where I felt that the sub-rx cw IF was too wide. For now, I plan to deal with that problem using my Timewave DSP-599zx in the sub-rx audio channel. 73, David K3KY -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/yaesu Submissions: yaesu@contesting.com Administrative requests: yaesu-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-yaesu@contesting.com From john-k1rc@juno.com Mon Jun 4 01:07:58 2001 From: john-k1rc@juno.com (john-k1rc@juno.com) Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 20:07:58 -0400 Subject: [Yaesu] Mic to transceiver adapters Message-ID: <20010603.200808.-327971.1.john-k1rc@juno.com> Hi All, Please Pardon my post to so many lists.

FT-1000D Diversity Success Message-ID: <3B1AE582.19075.CE83A80@localhost> I just want to give credit for the "G-mod" which allows the FT-1000 main and sub-receivers to be ganged to the main VFO (encoder)- to its author Robin, G3TKF. This is a very slick mod that adds a lot of functionality for one simple DPDT 5V relay. Thanks also to VE7RF for identifying the designer. The mod is well within the capabilities of experienced ham builders, but is probably not for everyone- it is certainly not one that can be obtained by sending your radio to Yaesu. I will plan to draw out a schematic and pictorial drawing of my implementation. I came up with a fully connectorized version, to avoid making any changes to the radio's internal wiring harness. Since the SPOT switch is used, one PC board track cut is unavoidable- this is fully reversible by a simple soldered wire jumper if needed later. For CW ops, the spot function is also available at the tap of your key, making the SPOT switch superfluous. Just make sure your VOX switch is off. :o) I will plan to make these details available later through my web page in case anyone else is interested in the details. 73, David K3KY -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/yaesu Submissions: yaesu@contesting.com Administrative requests: yaesu-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-yaesu@contesting.com From oscarvorphal@entelchile.net Sat Jun 2 10:19:30 2001 From: oscarvorphal@entelchile.net (oscar vorphal) Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2001 05:19:30 -0400 Subject: [Yaesu] Message-ID: <000a01c0eb45$435fda80$7f8d4da4@mevdmwsm> This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C0EB23.99FF4500 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable manual of yaesu ft-10 please =20 thank lkurt ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C0EB23.99FF4500 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I want to thank Robin, G3TKF, for coming up with this very useful circuit improvement. Using a reconfigured SPOT switch, the mod allows the Main VFO (encoder) to tune both the main and the sub-receivers simultaneously. It can be applied to any FT-1000/D, but would appeal especially to those who have the BPF-1 option and want to do antenna diversity work running two antennas through two entirely separate receivers at the same time. Note that these comments do not apply to either the MP or the Mark V. This mod is definitely not for beginners, although hams with some homebuilding experience should do fine with it. This mod is not sanctioned by Yaesu or available through them. It has been an enjoyable experience to try diversity for the first time using various antenna combinations on both the low bands, 30 meters and below, and the high bands. Both polarization diversity and space diversity have been tried (usually height diversity with different horizontally polarized antennas). My results have been quite encouraging and I intend to pursue this further. I have added a sub-page about the FT-1000D and this mod on my website. At this point it includes 3 photos and a brief description of the wiring. I will add more information later.

Thanks! However, I'm wondering if it's just a simple case of jumpering over to make two positives and two negatives. My only other real experience with a Yeasu HF rig is the 757 and I know that with that there is the normal positive and negative terminals, and the other two are merely jumpered together with no other connection to power. So, if it's just a case of splitting/jumpering to make two positives and two negatives, I'm a little confused by the simplicity. :-) 73, Mary-Frances Mary-Frances Bartels *** ki0dz@qsl.net (((#))) ^ ^ http://www.qsl.net/ki0dz Denver, CO | ^ - ^ Order Watkins Products www.watkinsonline.com ------- (o o) Beyond Infinity - WWW Services ^#092389^ |ooOoo| >{ | }< http://members.nbci.com/beyondin ------- RRR)* ___________________________________________________________________ Join the Space Program: Get FREE E-mail at http://www.space.com. -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/yaesu Submissions: yaesu@contesting.com Administrative requests: yaesu-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-yaesu@contesting.com From va3pkh@rac.ca Sat Jun 16 03:30:44 2001 From: va3pkh@rac.ca (Peter Hodgson) Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 22:30:44 -0400 Subject: [Yaesu] FT-840 Power Cord Connector Wiring References: <20010615190325.118.cpmta@c000.snv.cp.net> Message-ID: <3B2AC4D4.1DD6736@rac.ca> Hi again I should have been a bit more detailed.

Now I have another question about it. I assumed it was a regular six-conductor Molex connector. I got one from Radio Shack, but found out that it isn't exactly right. The Radio Shack one expects a hollow rectangle with pins and the 840 female expects holes with pins in the middle. Is this connector difficult to find? I checked MCM Electronics and didn't see it there. I make patch power cords for emergency operations. It makes it easier to mix and match power sources (battery, cig. lighter, etc.).

I was running one for the last couple of years. Its been dismantled as I'm moving to a qth that allows towers. I agree with Bill on Kenwood, much more condusive for remote control. Also check out TRX manager at http://www.trx-manager.com. There is some discussion on remote stations there using vhf/uhf for audio and TRX for rig control. I used isdn modems for complete rig control as well as audio in both directions. While it worked quite well, I think I would have been happier with some sort of vhf/uhf link for better audio quality. PCanywhere worked for me with some control of my Acom amplifier. Another package is called Remote Administrator. It appeared to work a bit faster (as far as screen refresh's).

As a last ditch effort I went to Gateway Electronics to see if they had a connector. One of the guys there took one look at the rig and said that someone else had been in the day before looking for the same connector. He also said that they did not have the right one. Meanwhile, I've just wired the original power cord into my fuse box (not the car's fuse box... I ran #8 wire from the battery to my own fuse box. I take power from my radios from that. Sure beats running wire for each radio back to the battery).

Yes, this is perfectly normal. When I first got mine I thought there was something wrong with it as well. FWIW, there is a list on YahooGroups just for the VX5R called YaesuVX5.
