[Yaesu] FT1000MP and FT8

[Yuri]

Hi Ted.

  Make sure you have your AUDIO supplied through the PACKET connector, 
not PATCH + AF OUT.

When in USER mode, the default setting is LSB, but you would need to 
re=program it to USB for FT8 in the menu 8-6:

Menu8-6

modePKT

disp offset0

RX PLL1450

RX CAR453.450

TX PLL1500

TX CAR453.400

RTTY offset0

EASY setoff

As far as I remember, early production original MPs did not allow TX Car 
to be set below
456.300 Khz, but W5ERX assures that these values work fine:



Disp Offset = +2125
RX-PLL = +2210
RX-CAR = 452.790
TX-PLL = +2210
TX CAR = 452.790


Unfortunately, I don't have my FT1000MP here at the moment (it's in Zone 
2 in the storage), but as far as I remember you may Enter (store) 
settings in the USER mode by pressing and holding this button for 2+ 
seconds. You should refer to the manual.
In USER mode the MIC GAIN control still affects transmit audio level 
(check your ALC display)), but MIC input is disabled.

Sorry, can't be of more help at this moment.
