For example, with the FT-9 01 DM bandswitch set

to 1 OA, and the FTV-9 01 R bandswitch set to

1 44-1 46,  operation  will  take  place  on  1 44.0-
1 44.5  M Hz.  By  setting the FT-901 DM  main tuning
dial  to  2 8. 25 0.0,  operation  will  take  place  on
1 44. 25 0  MHz.  See  the  section  on  satellite
operation  for  fre quency  determination  on  the

SAT. bands.

NORMAL TUNE UP

(1) Set the FTV-9 01R RPT switch to N OR, the

M ETER switch to INPUT, the RCV switch to
N OR, t he ALC s witch to S S B

CW, and the

BAN D switch to the desired band. The

P OW ER switch should be OFF.

( 2) With th e transverter o ff, peak the preselector

on the FT-9 01 DM against the marker signal.

Be certain that the FT-9 0 1 DM HEATER

switch i s ON.

( 3) Set the FTV-9 0 1 R P OW ER switch to ON.

( 4) For 5 0 or 144 M Hz tuning, set the FT-9 01 DM

CARR  control  fully  counterclockwise.  Push
the  TUN E  button,  and  slowly  advance  the
CARR  control  until  the  FTV-9 0 1R  meter
enter s  the  green  zone.  Now  switch  the  FTV-
9 0 1  R  M ETER  s witch  to  PO,  and  rotate  the

TUN E control for a maximum meter reading.

(5) For 430 MHz, there is no peaking procedure

for the transverter. With the FT-9 0 1 DM

preselec tor peaked, the only adjustment that

must b e made is to set the drive level
correctly.

( 6) For FM and CW operation, set the ALC

switch to S S B

CW. The transceiver CARRI ER

control may be advanced to the point where

the P O does not increase further.

(7) For S S B operation, set the FT-9 0 1 DM M IC

GA IN level so that the FTV-9 0 1R INPUT

level on the meter does not go past the green
zone on the meter scale on voice peaks.

( 8) For AM operation, set the ALC switch to AM,

and set the M ETER s witch to P O. Advance

the  transceiver  CARR IER  control  until  the
meter  i ndicates  . 3  on  the  scale.  Advance  the
transceiver  M IC  GA IN  control  until  the  P O
meter just begins to move on voice peaks.

(9) Advanc ement of any of the drive level s

beyond the point stipulated in steps ( 6)

through ( 8) will not increase the power

output; component life may, however, be

shortened drastically if these input l evels are
exceeded.

(1 0) For 6 and 2 meters, rotation of the FTV-

9 01 R  RF  GA IN  control  will  provid e  adjust
ment  of  the  gain  of  the  receive  converter
section.  For  430  M Hz,  this  control  has  no
effect, as  the  converter is always  set  for maxi
mum gain.

REPEATER OPERATION

When using the FT-9 01 DM tr ansceiver, FM

operation on repeaters on 6 and 2 meters is

provided. For repeater split, set the RPT s witch to
the DOWN position for shift of -1 MHz on 6

meters, or - 6 00 KHz for 2 meters. For a shift of

1 MHz or

600 k Hz, set the RPT switch to UP.

SATELLITE OPERATION

Operation on the amateur satellites is possible,

using  an  external  receiver  in  addition  to  the  FT-
9 0 1  DM  transceiver.  The  FT-9 01 DM  transceiver.
The FT-9 01 DM  provides  the  transmit  signal, while
the  external  receiver  monitors  the  downlink,  on
full duplex.

For O SCAR Mode A, transmission takes place on

1 45. 85 0-1 45.95 0 M Hz, with reception on

29.400- 29.5 00 M Hz. Set the FTV-9 0 1 R band

s witch to the SAT. 1 position. Set the FT-9 01 DM
band s witch to 1 OD, and tune to 29.850- 29.95 0

MHz. Set the external receiver for reception on

29.400- 29.5 00 M Hz.

For O SCAR Mode B, the uplink is 43 2. 1 25-

4 3. 175 M Hz, and the downlink is 1 45.975-

1 45.9 25 MHz. Set the FTV-9 0 1R band switch

to the SAT. 2 position. Set the FT-9 01DM band
s witch to 1 OA, and tune to 2 8.1 25- 2 8.175 M Hz.

Set the external receiver for reception on
29.9 25 M Hz. The O SCAR 7 Mode
