CAUTION!!
The MARK-V FT-1000MP cooling system is de-
signed to handle continuous duty transmission at
200 watts output. However, for continuous-duty digi-
tal modes like RTTY, we recommend limiting your
transmissions to 3 minutes or less, with at least 3
minutes receive in between transmissions. Place
your hand on the transceiver occasionally to en-
sure that it’s not getting too hot, and try to keep
power output at 100 watts or less.
You can limit the maximum RF power output to 75
watts via programming, by recalling menu selection

RTTY/PKT TUNING
In the CW mode, when you tune a signal near the

center of the receiver passband, the boundary arrows
light, and the upper signal strength segments increase
as you slowly tune the VFO knob. The idea is to tune
for maximum indication, and so that a lone center
marker illuminates in the lower tuning meter (the bound-
ary arrows turn off when the marker is centered). If
you detune, the arrows illuminate, indicating that you
need to re-center the marker.

SCAN R ESUME MODE

There are three choices that determine how scan-
ning will respond when activity is detected. Scan re-
sume operation is configured by recalling menu selec-
tion 2-1, and choosing the desired mode. Below is an
outline of each scan resume mode and how it oper-
ates.
Carrier Stop (default) - With the squelch closed,
scanning pauses on signal activity, then resumes soon
after the carrier disappears. With the squelch open,
scanning will not continue unless the receiver is qui-
eted again (SQL control).
Carrier Timed Stop - With the squelch closed,
scanning pauses on activity, then resumes automati-
cally after a preset duration (5 seconds by default),
whether signal activity remains or not (time- delay re-
sume).
Carrier Timed Slow - With the squelch closed,
scanning slows down (but doesn’t stop) for a preset
duration (5 seconds by default), when activity is de-
tected.
For the Timed Stop and Timed Slow modes, the
pause duration can be set between 1 and 10 seconds
with menu selection 2-7, or the scan pause (resume)
feature can be disabled completely using menu selec-
tion 2-0. If disabled, scanning will not stop for any ac-
tivity.

Important Note!
The Hex Memory Channel Codes for returned
memory data shown above (Byte 7) are different
than those used in upload command data
(opcodes)!
The memory channel hex codes used as argument
(parameter) bytes for opcodes are offset by one
(that is, one value greater) from their returned data
counterparts. Therefore the channel hex codes
used in opcodes 02H, 03H, and 0DH would range
from 01H ~ 71H.
When constructing command block bytes, ensure
that the correct memory channel hex code is used!

The ±0.25-ppm TCXO-6 replaces the factory-installed
TCXO unit, and it provides enhanced frequency stabil-
ity compared to the standard ±0.5-ppm module.
If you also have the optional YF-115C Sub Receiver
filter, now would be a good time to install it, as its mount-
ing position is also exposed during the TCXO installa-
tion procedures.
TCXO-6 Installation
r Disconnect all cables from the transceiver.
r Referring to Figure 1, remove the four screws ( ð)
on each side of the transceiver, and the seven
screws ( ž) from the bottom of the transceiver, then
lift off the bottom cover.
r Referring to Figure 2, remove the six screws (Æ)
Figure 1 from the top panel. Pry the top cover open and dis-
connect the speaker cable from the speaker, then
lift off the top and side covers.
r Locate the factory-installed TCXO UNIT in the front
right corner of the chassis (see drawing below), and
remove the wiring connector from the board. Use a
small screwdriver to pry up the rear edge of the
connector, and avoid pulling on the wires.
r Remove the four screws at the corners of the board,
and remove the factory-installed TCXO UNIT.
r Position the new TCXO-6 in place, and use the
same screws just removed to affix the new board
in place.
r Reinstall the wiring connector.
This completes the installation; connect the speaker
cable to the speaker on the top cover, then replace the
Figure 2 all covers and screws removed above (unless install-
ing other options now).

(0.5A maximum).
r Reassemble the PA UNIT mount, yellow-banded
coax cable, PA UNIT, and fan assembly in reverse
order, then replace the top cover.
MEMORY BACK-UP SWITCH

The rear panel memory BACKUP switch is normally
kept in the “ON” position to ensure your memorized
data is maintained (by a small amount of power from
the lithium battery) when the radio is off, or the DC
power source is removed.
¦ If you do not plan to operate your radio for ex-
tended periods of time, slide this switch to the
“OFF” position to conserve battery life.
¦ Ensure the radio is on when sliding the switch
back to the “ON” position, as this reduces the
initial current demand on the battery by the
radio’s circuits from an un-powered state.
Note: Memorized settings are lost and the radio
returns to factory default settings when turning off the
backup battery.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly re-
placed. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type.

POWER-ON M ICROPROCESSOR RESET PROCEDURES
Some or all transceiver settings can be reset to their factory-default states using one of the following power-on
routines:
r [29(0)] + POWER on: Resets all menu setting to factory-default.
r [SUB(CE)] + [ENT ] + POWER on: Resets all memories (except menu setting) to factory-default.
r [SUB(CE)] + [29(0)] + [ENT] + POWER on: CPU master reset for all memories and menu setting.
