![]() This ensures us to have to maximum passband to use for RX. Third: be sure that the IF is in the default position and set the WIDTH to the maximum. This works fine and this way we do not have unwanted splatter and other signals created by the FT-2000 in our bandpass due to strong signals elsewhere on the HF. VRF will keep unwanted signals from outside the bandpass ‘out the door’. All of this influence the quality of the signal received. This means DNF, DNR, Contour and the NOTCH. Be sure that the AGC is set to FAST by pressing the AGC button. There is no need to turn the AGC off in this case, because the FT-2000 AGC behaves very fast with this settings, because the low rate and mainly the hold setting which we set to 0 (menu option 2). This setting guarantees the most optimal performance for the receiving of the signals. I have a Yaesu FT-2000 and here are my findings about my ideal settings for PSK31 and maybe all other digital modes.įirst: set menu option one at the lowest rate.
