[1000mp] Fw: PSK31 on FT-1000MP & MENU 8.6 Easy-Set

Wed Jun 10 10:57:49 EDT 2009

Hi
This is working perfect with my (original) FT1000MP

vy 73 de OZ6TL - Henrik

AFSK & soundcard - Setup with FT1000 MP

>From the FT1000MP Home Page:

Commentary: If you want AFSK RTTY, PSK, SSTV, Hell, MFSK16 etc etc you
should input your audio through the PACKET JACK and press the PKT button on
the front of therig. Yes, you will be LSB. For USB, all you have to do is
set the Easy-Set menu item to SSTV-U and then press the USER button on the
front of the rig after first pressing the PACKET button. Press PKT once,
you're LSB - press it again, and/or hold it longer (can't remember) and you
will be in USB. In the MARK-V at least, the LSB lite will still be
illuminated!! However, you can prove you've changed to USB by watching the
frequency display and then you can also tune to a USB voice signal and it
will be intelligible!

If you want FSK RTTY, you should wire to the RTTY jack on the back and press
the RTTY button on the front.

You will need a PTT/FSK line from a com port in this arrangement. You could
also send your audio to the PATCH jack to key the VOX, but there are issues
with this, including frequency display offset etc as you will have to use
the SSB modes. Plus the MARK-V won't let you use narrow filters in SSB modes
like the older MP did.

>> Hi Mac
>> Thanks for your comments.
>>
>> The problem here is that on my FT1000MP(original), EASY-SET only has 3
>> options; OFF, FAX and PACKET. There's no USB option?
>>
>> I notice from your previous email that you're using the Mk 5 whereas mine
>> is the original 1000MP so maybe that's the reason?
>> Maybe SSTV setting does the same as USB setting on this rig, I really 
>> dont
>> know?
>>
>> The point is that when I set my EASY-SET to SSTV as was recommended, the
>> rig doesn't implement it, the EASY-SET option just defaults back to OFF
>> next time I go back and look at Menu?
>>
>> Rapidly pulling my remaining hair out here!  :-((
