[1000mp] New Mark-5 Field

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Dick, 

I used a KAM with the FT-1000D many years ago ... it operates 
the same as the Mark V today. 

For AFSK, connect the audio out, audio in, and PTT to the PKT 
jack per the manual.  Select the PKT/LSB mode on the Mark V.  
Set following on the Mark V menu: 

    6-4  Pac-FDSP   -2.210 
    6-5  Pac-tonE     2210

Set the KAM for "High Tones" (2125/2295)

You will need to experiment with audio output level in the KAM 
and mic gain in the Mark V.  Your goal is reasonable power output 
with the ALC display within the ALC range. 

73,
