These channels are set to USB, and they appear between the “last” PMS channel (“P9U”) and the rst “regular” memory channel (Channel 1):1.  Press the [V/M] button once to enter the “Memory” mode; the “MCH” icon will appear in the display and a memory channel number  will appear on the display.Advice:  If  you  can not  enter  the  “Memory”  mode,  check  to see  if  the  transceiver  is  in  VFO-B  mode  (the  green [(VFO-B)RX] Indicator/Switch is illuminated). If so, press the [(VFO-A)RX]  Indicator/Switch to return operation to VFO-A. Now, press the [V/M] button to enter the “Memory” mode.2.  Press the [MCH] button located on the bottom right of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob. The LED imbedded in the button will glow orange to signify that rotation of the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob will allow selection of the memory channel.3.  Memory channels (“5M-01”  through “5M-10”) are pre-programmed, at  the  factory,  with  the  permitted frequencies in the 5 MHz band, and the USB  mode is automatically selected on these channels.4.  To  exit  from 60-meter  operation  and  return  to the VFO mode, just press the [V/M] button.Note:The frequencies and  operating mode for  5 MHz band operation are xed, and may not be changed.Basic OperaTiOn:receiving On aMaTeur BanDs[CLAR/VFO-B] Knob[VFO-B(RX)] Button[MCH] Button[V/M] Button[VFO-A(RX)] ButtonMain Tuning Dial KnobcHANNel NuMbeR5M-015M-025M-035M-045M-055M-065M-075M-085M-095M-10FReQueNcy5.332000 MHz5.348000 MHz5.358500 MHz5.373000 MHz5.405000 MHz5.332000 MHz5.348000 MHz5.358500 MHz5.373000 MHz5.405000 MHzFCC ID: K6620461X50 / IC: 511B-20461X50

Four small numbers on the Multi-Display Window show the current Clarier offset. The Clarier controls on the FT DX 3000 are designed to allow you to preset an offset (up to ±9.999 kHz) without actually retuning, and then to activate it via the Clarier’s [RX CLAR] and [TX CLAR] buttons. This feature is ideal for following a drifting station, or for setting small frequency offsets sometimes utilized in DX “Split” work.Here is the technique for utilizing the Clarier:1.  Press the  [RX  CLAR]  button.  In  the Multi-Display Window, the  “RX” notation will appear, and the programmed offset will be applied to the receive fre-quency.2.  Rotation  of  the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob will allow you to modify your initial offset on the y. Offsets of up to ±9.99 kHz may be set using the Clarier.To cancel Clarier operation, press the [RX CLAR] but-ton. The “RX” notation will disappear from the display.Advice:  Turning the Clarier off simply cancels the applica-tion of the programmed offset from the receive and/or the  transmit frequencies. To clear the Clarifier offset, and reset it to “zero,” press the [CLEAR] but-ton. The programmed offset is displayed in the small multi-channel window of the frequency display.  You may also activate the clarier on the VFO-B fre-quency. In this case, the offset frequency is set using the Main Tuning Dial knob,  instead of  the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob.  The Clarier operation (including the offset frequen-cy) will  be  memorized independently  on  each VFO stack of VFO-A and VFO-B.[CLAR/VFO-B] Knob[RX CLAR] Button[TX CLAR] Button[CLEAR] ButtonTXCLARAlternately, You may apply the Clarifier  offset to the  transmit  frequency, without  changing  the receive frequency (typically, for “split” DX pile-ups).[CLAR/VFO-B] Knob[p/q] ButtonTheTuningOffsetIndicatorprovidesagraphicalrepresentationoftheClarieroffset.In the factory default setting On CW, the Tuning Offset Indicator is used for CW Cen-ter Tuning, instead of Clarier Offset.

However, the [CLAR/VFO-B] knob, instead of the Main Tuning Dial knob selects the frequency  for VFO-B  (See  box  below  for  tuning  rate). The  two VFOs  make  simple  transmit/receive  split  fre-quency operation possible. Use various combinations of the four VFO red and green  transmit and receive switches to set up split frequency operation. The [SPLIT] button  also  sets up  split  frequency  operation.  See  page 69 for details about Split-Frequency Operation.The  frequency  and mode  data  can be transferred from VFO-A to VFO-B by pressing the [AB] button, don’t forget that  this will  overwrite  any  settings that  were  in VFO-B previously. Also, the contents of the two VFOs can  be  swapped  (with  no  loss  of  data)  by  pressing  the [AB] button.Most of  the  interference reduction  features,  which are described later, can also be used on VFO-B.Two things you cannot do with VFO-B that you can do with VFO-A,  are  store  the  contents  of VFO-B  directly into a memory, and set the Clarifier offset.  For these functions you need to swap the VFO-B with the VFO-A by pressing the [AB] button, then store the contents into the memory or set the Clarier.Advice: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”.FCC ID: K6620461X50 / IC: 511B-20461X50

Page 39FT DX 3000 OperaTing ManualcOnvenience FeaTuresbANd stAcK opeRAtioNThe FT DX 3000 utilizes a triple band-stack VFO selection technique, that permits you to store up to three favorite fre-quencies 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 VFOs by successive, momentary presses of the [14] MHz band button. Each Amateur band key may similarly have up to three frequency/mode settings applied. Both the VFO-A and VFO-B systems have their own, independent, band stacks.A typical setup, for the 14 MHz band, might be arranged like this:1.  Program 14.025 MHz, CW Mode, then press the [14] MHz band button;2.  Program  14.080  MHz,  RTTY  Mode,  then  press  the [14] MHz band button;3.  Program 14.195 MHz, SSB Mode, then press the [14] MHz band button.With  this  conguration,  successive  momentary  presses of the [14] MHz band button will allow you to step se-quentially through these three VFOs.c.s (custoM switcH)The front panel [C.S] button may be programmed to directly access an often-used Menu Mode selection.[BAND] ButtonC.S Setup1.
