Newbie needs help with FT1000 MP MK5 + MD200 mic settings
Recently purchased a used (but in excellent condition) FT-1000 MK 5
with MD-200. I am having trouble setting up the microphone, and am told my TX audio is FLAT. What are the best settings with this mic and radio, ie:- What menu settings should be changed and to what value? Where should the PROC knob be turned to, and also the MIC knob? On the bottom the the mic is a switch, which way should it be set? Also inside the mic is a rotatable control - again, how should this be set? Thanks for your help in advance. Best Wishes... |
Take a real RAE.

Hopefully lots of cheap second hand stuff going to be on Ebay then. I still want my old TS520 back. Analogue display, but very clean output and it even ran off 12V so you coul duse it in the car. |

k... Set 4.4 to either 3 or 4... Go here http://www.va3cr.net/default.htm for more advice.... I would second Chaney's suggestion except the I leave 4.4 at 1 to avoid sounding like a Darlek. http://www.va3cr.net/ has loads of pages of suggestion for the MP and MkV. You can mess around with the offsets ad infinitum to adjust your audio. Turn off the processor and set the mike gain so that voice peaks hit the marker on the ALC part of the bargraph, then turn the processor back on, set at 11 o'clock. I also agree with the general theme of the thread - why are you using an FT1000MP MkV as a first radio? Seems nuts to me. Nick G4FAL |

Analogue display, but very clean output and it even ran off 12V so you could use it in the car. What size of car you got then?...I thought an ft101 under the dash of an Allegro was pushing it in 1976...... |
You can never get fed up with a MkV...

Nick: Take a real RAE
Can you explain that comment please? you really are stuck up your own fat-arse arent you, you fool. Newbie shouldnt buy a Mk. 5? Newbie shouldnt do this shouldnt do that. Sell it cheap on Ebay? Who the hell are you to tell me what I can and cant do? The reason I have bought a mark 5 loser, is because I can - and have! U must be jealous? When I said "newbie" what I meant was a newbie to the mark 5, not a newbie to HF or to Amateur Radio you ****ing idiots - I am sure all you pompus old duffers were new to a mark 5 when you first got yours, and had trouble setting it up and had to ask some help? I have been a licensed radio amateur for over 15 years. Its old "pillocks" like you who give this hooby a bad name. All I was doing was asking for some help. Pathetic Idiots. |

Simon, the only reason we "pillocks" take exception to these antics is that they are dragging the "hooby" (sic) into the gutter. It used to have standards, both in technical expertise and behaviour. Your post only exemplifies the lack of both. Look in a mirror Matt. How often do you display technical expertise on the NG? (Not often, you keep getting it WRONG. Look back at Google if you disagree.) Your behaviour isn't a model of good standards: you spend to much time trying to ridicule those who are clearly better technically than you will ever be and doing more to help others in the hobby that you ever will. Other who claim to have standards think nothing of throwing a serious matter like child abuse into their petty feuds. Take the plank from your own eyes Matt. |

I think you may have come across a little better if you had said something
in the line of:- "thanks to those people with constructive help and f*ck the rest of you"...as it is you tarred those that tried to give you advice with the same brush as you tarred the p*ss takers... -- Chaney...

To Matt the Pratt,
Simon, the only reason we "pillocks" take exception to these antics is that they are dragging the "hooby" (sic) into the gutter. Hey, Loser. Before you start slating my grammar, try looking at your own [ Simon, the only reason *we* "pillocks] surely, your choice of words should have been "us" and not "we"???. By the sounds of your message, not only should you have used the word "us" also you should have also replaced the word "pillocks" with "****ing low-life dimwits" I bet you read and re-read my post, trying to find any other spelling mistakes that you could highlight and ridicule me with hey "sissy-boy"??? I bet you are reading and re-reading this post, also trying to catch another slip of my typing. Who do you think you are, my English teacher, Sir? It used to have standards, both in technical expertise and behaviour. Your post only exemplifies the lack of both. Err, can you please explain that statement too? Hhmmm, can you tell me how your post was "technical expertise and behaviour" (whatever that is meant to mean) You are the **** that didnt even offer any help to my initial message - and you didnt even put in any stupid comments until now... Very "techinical expertise behaviour" from you, and thankyou for your valuable help and comments. My post started as one thing. A simple, polite question on the newsgroups asking for help with some settings on a Mark 5. And all I got back apart from one or two helpful replies, was a barrage of pathetic comments. And now one from you. You Sir, are obviously nothing that can be explained better, than a "nincumpoop". |

Hi Chaney,
I think you may have come across a little better if you had said something in the line of:- "thanks to those people with constructive help and f*ck the rest of you"...as it is you tarred those that tried to give you advice with the same brush as you tarred the p*ss takers... Point taken and agreed. Cheers, Simon |
