Congratulations on the purchase of your Yaesu
amateur transceiver! Whether this is your first rig, or if
Yaesu equipment is already the backbone of your sta-
tion, rest assured that your transceiver will provide many
hours of operating pleasure for years to come.
The MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field is an elite-class HF
transceiver providing exceptional performance both on
transmit and receive. The MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field
is designed for the most competitive operating situa-
tions, whether you primarily operate in contest, DX, or
digital-mode environments.
Built on the foundation of the popular MARK-V FT-
1000MP transceiver, the MARK-V FT-1000MP Field
provides up to 100 Watts of power output on SSB, CW,
and FM (25 Watts AM carrier). Additionally, a Yaesu-
exclusive “Class-A” SSB operating mode provides ul-
tra-linear signal output, at a power output level of up to
25 Watts.
Also new on the MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field is the
IDBT (Interlocked Digital Bandwidth Tracking) System,
which automatically aligns the bandwidth of the En-
hanced Digital Signal Processing (EDSP) receiver
passband to match the IF filter passband. This improves
operating efficiency by removing the extra step of mak-
ing separate analog and DSP filter adjustments. This
feature can be enabled or disabled with the press of a
button, for maximum flexibility.
And for exceptional protection from strong nearby
incoming signals, Yaesu-exclusive VRF (Variable RF
Front-End Filter) serves as a high-performance
Preselector-ideal for multi-operator contest environ-
ments. This filter is manually tuned, allowing the op-
erator to optimize sensitivity or signal rejection with the
twist of a knob.

In addition to the contribution of the VRF Preselector,
superb receiver performance is a result of direct lin-
eage from the legendary FT-1000D and FT-1000MP.
New technology Direct Digital Synthesizers (two 10-bit
and three 8-bit) are used in the local oscillator (all driven
by a single TCXO master oscillator), resulting in ex-
tremely fine tuning resolution with thirteen selectable
tuning steps down to 0.625 Hz. You may select either
“Flat” or “Tuned” front end RF amplification (using four
FETs in a double push-pull, constant-gain stage), IPO
(Intercept Point Optimization) utilizing direct feed to the
first mixer, and/or three levels of RF attenuation in 6-
dB steps. The “Tuned” RF Preamplifier provides high
gain and low noise figure on the higher frequency
bands, with lower gain and greater selectivity on the
low bands, where strong-signal performance is criti-
cally important.
To battle QRM, the MARK-V FT-1000MP
Field
comes equipped with a formidable defense. Fine tai-
loring of the IF passband is made possible with indi-
vidually-selected, cascaded 2nd- and 3rd-IF crystal fil-
ter banks. World-renowned Collins
® mechanical 500-
Hz CW filters are available as options for the Sub Re-
ceiver 2nd IF, and main receiver 3rd IF strip. An IF notch
filter and concentric IF Shift and Width controls are
also provided. The IF Width circuit allows continuously
narrowing receiver passband by selectively moving ei-
ther the upper or lower filter skirt just as much as
needed to reduce QRM while still preserving the maxi-
mum usable bandwidth. This extensive analog IF fil-
tering protects the EDSP circuits that follow it, ensur-
ing unmatched performance during crowded band con-
ditions.
