Page 31FT DX 3000 OperaTing ManualBefore turning on main power, please verify the following items once more. Have you made all ground connections securely? See page ?? for details. Do you have your antenna(s) connected to the rear-panel Antenna jack(s)? See page ?? for details. Is your microphone (and/or key or paddle) connected? See page ?? for details. If using a linear amplier, have all interconnections been successfully completed? See page ?? for details. Please rotate the [AF GAIN] control to the fully counter-clockwise position, to avoid a loud blast of audio when the transceiver turns on. See page ?? for details.Basic OperaTiOn:receiving On aMaTeur BanDsFCC ID: K6620461X50 / IC: 511B-20461X50
Page 32 FT DX 3000 OperaTing ManualHere is the typical start-up procedure for normal operation: 1. Turn on the external DC power supply.2. Press and hold in the front-panel [POWER] switch until the transceiver turns on. After about five seconds (ten seconds if the optional µ-Tuning Kit is connected), the transceiver is ready for full operation.3. The transceiver will start up on 7.000.00 MHz LSB, and normal operation may begin.Note: To turn power off, press and hold in the front panel [POWER] switch for two seconds.4. Rotate the [AF GAIN] knob to set a comfortable audio level on in-coming signals or noise. Clockwise rotation of the [AF GAIN] knob increases the volume level.Note:When using headphones, start by rotating the [AF GAIN] knob counter-clockwise, then bring the vol-ume level up after you put the headphones on. This will minimize the chance of damage to your hearing caused by an unexpectedly high audio level.5. Press the [(VFO-A)RX] Indicator/Switch to engage the VFO-A; the imbedded LED will glow green.Advice: If you press the [(VFO-A)RX] Indicator/Switch when the imbedded LED is already glowing green, the LED will now blink “on” and “off”; this indicates that the VFO-A re-ceiver is temporarily muted. Just press the [(VFO-A)RX] Indicator/Switch once more to restore VFO-A receiver operation.6. Press the [BAND] button corre-sponding to the Amateur band on which you wish to begin opera-tion.Advice: One-touch selection of each Amateur band be-tween 1.8 and 50 MHz is provided. The FT DX 3000 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, which permits you to store up to three favorite frequencies and modes onto each band’s VFO register. For example, you may store one frequency each on 14 MHz CW, RTTY, and USB, then recall these frequencies by succes-sive, momentary presses of the [14] MHz band button. Each Amateur band button may similarly have up to three frequency/mode settings applied. When the [MHz] button (located to the left of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob), is pressed, the imbedded LED will glow orange, and then rotation of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob will change the frequency in 1 MHz steps.7. Press the [ANT] button to select the ap-propriate antenna for the band in use.Advice:When you make an antenna selection, that antenna is “remembered” by the microprocessor in conjunction with the VFO register in use.[POWER] Switch[VFO-A(RX)] Button[AF GAIN] Knob Main Tuning Dial Knob[BAND] ButtonBasic OperaTiOn:receiving On aMaTeur BanDs[MODE] Button[ANT] SwitchFCC ID: K6620461X50 / IC: 511B-20461X50

Repeated presses this button, step through the available selections. Press and hold in the this button, will toggle to the alternate mode. For example, In the LSB or USB modes, press and hold in the this button toggles between “LSB” and “USB” mode.Advice: By convention in the Amateur bands, LSB is used on the 7 MHz and lower bands (with the exception of 60 meters), while USB is utilized on the 14 MHz and higher bands. When changing modes from SSB to CW, you will observe a frequency shift on the display. This shift represents the BFO offset between the “zero beat” frequency and the audible CW pitch (tone) you can hear (the pitch is programmed via the Menu item “055 MODE CW CW PITCH”), even though the actual tone that you hear is not changing. When operating on the FM mode, rotate the [SQL] (Squelch) knob clockwise to the point where the background noise is just silenced. This is the point of maximum sensitivity to weak sig-nals. Excessive advancement of the [SQL] knob will degrade the ability of the receiver to detect weak signals. You may change the [RF/SQL] knob from the RF GAIN function to the squelch function via Menu item “036 GENERAL RF/SQL VR”.9. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to tune around the band, and begin normal operation.Advice: Clockwise rotation of the Main Tuning Dial knob increases the operating frequency, one “step” of the synthesizer at a time; similarly, counter-clockwise rotation of the Main Tuning Dial knob will decrease the frequency. Two settings, one “normal” and one “fast”, are available on each operating mode. Pressing the [FAST] button engages the “Fast” tuning selection, see chart be-low. It is possible to set the frequency change over one dial rotation, separately for the CW mode, using the Menu items “084 TUN DIALSTP” and “085 TUN CW FINE”. See page 116. If you want to navigate rapidly, so as to effect rapid frequency change, there are several tech-niques available: Direct keyboard entry of the frequency. Use the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob to tune in 1 MHz steps. Use the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] scanning keys, if your microphone is so equipped.MAiN tuNiNg diAl KNob tuNiNg RAteopeRAtiNg Mode 1 step 1 diAl RotAtioN NoRMAl [FAst] NoRMAl [FAst]LSB/USB/CW/AM/ 10 Hz 10 kHzRTTY/PKT(LSB) [100 Hz] [100 kHz] FM/PKT(FM) 100 Hz [1 kHz] 100 kHz [1 MHz][ ] : [FAST] switch set to “ON”FCC ID: K6620461X50 / IC: 511B-20461X50
