[1000mp] Configuring FT-1000MP for Packet USB Solution

[1000mp@mailman.qth.net]

I received the following from Yaesu which describes how those of us with 
plain vanilla MPs can do Packet USB.

Configuring the FT-1000MP
for
USB-side Operation in the Packet Mode
for
MARS Operation

Although the FT-1000MP's Mode selection does not allow the use of USB-side 
injection during "PKT" (Packet) operation, it is possible, through Menu 
programming of the parameters of the "User" key, to configure the FT-1000MP for 
USB-side injection in the Packet operating mode for MARS use.

Procedure

1. Enter the "Menu" mode by pushing and holding in the [FAST] key and then 
pushing the [ENT] key on the keypad momentarily.

2. Rotate the [MEM/VFO CH] knob to select Menu Item 8-6.

3. Now set up the parameters in each category shown below. These parameters 
will shift the various oscillators, while in the "PKT/LSB" mode, so as to place 
them at the frequencies they would be in if there were a dedicated "PKT/USB" 
mode. In effect, you are creating such a mode by using the "USER" key setup 
capability.

Mode    Disp.   Offset        RX-PLL          RX-CAR          TX-PLL          
TX-CAR*
PKT LO        +2.125 kHz    +2.210 kHz  452.790 kHz +2.210 kHz  452.790 kHz

* Prior to Production Lot #05, the value for "TX CAR" could not be set below 
456.300 kHz. For these earlier versions, the use of 456.300 kHz should still
produce entirely satisfactory results.

4. Push the [ENT] key momentarily to save your new settings and exit to 
normal operation. The "User" mode is now configured for pseudo-USB operation in the 
AFSK (Packet) operating mode.
