ADDENDUM MH-59A8J Remote Microphone The optional MH-59A8J Remote Microphone provides control of the major functions of the FT-897 from the microphones keypad. The MH-59A8J includes a rotary control knob for adjust the operating frequency and receiver audio volume level. Before connecting the MH-59A8J, you must instruct the FT-897s microprocessor that the MH-59A8J is being used, using the Menu Mode: 1. Press and hold in the FUNC key for one second to activate the Menu Mode. 2. Rotate the SELECT knob to recall Menu Mode No-001 EXT MENU, then rotate the DIAL to change the setting to ON to enable the extended Menu Mode. 3. Rotate the SELECT knob to recall Menu Mode No-059 MIC SEL. The default setting for this Menu is NOR. Rotate the DIAL to change the setting to RMT. 4. Press and hold in the FUNC key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. MH-59A8J Switches and Controls (1) LOCK Switch Pressing this key locks the FT-897s front panel keys so as to prevent accidental frequency change. FT-897 OPERATING MANUAL (2) PTT Switch Press this switch to transmit, and release it to receive. (3) Keypad 1(DSP) key Pressing this key provides instant access to Multi Function Row p (MFp), which contains the command keys for the receivers Digital Signal Processing System. This key generates the DTMF 1 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 1 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. 2(MHz) key Pressing this key allows tuning in 1-MHz steps of the VFO frequency. This key generates the DTMF 2 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 2 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. 3(CLAR) key Pressing this key momentarily activates the Receiver Clarifier (R.I.T.) feature. Press and hold in this key for one second to activate the IF Shift feature. This key generates the DTMF 3 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 3 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. 4(HOME) key Pressing this key recalls a favorite Home frequency memory. This key generates the DTMF 4 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 4 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. 5(MODE) key Pressing this key changes the operating mode: USBLSBPKTDIGFMAMCWRCWUSB This key generates the DTMF 5 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 5 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. 6(MODE) key Pressing this key changes the operating mode: USBCWCWRAMFMDIGPKTLSBUSB This key generates the DTMF 6 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 6 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. Page 69 ADDENDUM MH-59A8J Remote Microphone (continued) (3) Keypad (continued) 7(V/M) key Pressing this key switches frequency control between the VFO and Memory Systems. This key generates the DTMF 7 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 7 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. 8(DWN BAND) key Pressing this key causes the frequency to be moved down by one frequency band: 1.8MHz430MHz144MHz108MHz88MHz 50MHz28MHz24MHz21MHz18MHz15MHz 14MHz10MHz7MHz5MHz3.5MHz1.8MHz This key generates the DTMF 8 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 8 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. 9(BAND UP) key Pressing this key causes the frequency to be moved up by one frequency band: 1.8MHz3.5MHz5MHz7MHz10MHz14MHz 15MHz18MHz21MHz24MHz28MHz50MHz 88MHz108MHz144MHz430MHz1.8MHz This key generates the DTMF 9 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 9 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. Page 70 * key This key generates the DTMF F(*) tone during transmission. O(CTRL) key This key generates the DTMF 0 tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit 0 during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. ENT(#) key Press this key for Direct Keypad Frequency Entry: To enter 14.25000 MHz, press: ENT1 4 D(point) 2 5 ENT To enter 0.95000 MHz, press: ENT D(point) 9 5 ENT You may recall a memory channel, as well; To recall memory channel 001, press: ENT 1 * To recall memory channel 125, press: ENT 1 2 5 * This key generates the DTMF E (#) tone during transmission. A key This key emulates the function of the FT-897s front panel A key. This key generates the DTMF A tone during transmission. B key This key emulates the function of the FT-897s front panel B key. This key generates the DTMF B tone during transmission. C key This key emulates the function of the FT-897s front panel C key. This key generates the DTMF C tone during transmission. D(F) key Press this key momentarily to enable the changing of the function of the Multi Function keys (A, B, and C) by the SELECT knob. Press and hold in this key for one second to activate the Menu mode. This key generates the DTMF D tone during transmission, and frequency entry digit point during Direct Keypad Frequency Entry. FT-897 OPERATING MANUAL ADDENDUM MH-59A8J Remote Microphone (continued) (3) Keypad (continued) ACC key Press this key to disable the Noise Squelch. You may program the configuration of this key, to enable use of a different function, via Menu Mode No-068 PG ACC. PWR(FAST) key Press and hold in this key for one second to turn the transceiver on or off. While the transceiver is turned on, pressing this key momentarily will engage the Fast Tuning mode, to allow more rapid frequency navigation (a small running man icon will be observed in the bottom right-hand comer of the LCD). P1 key (Quick Split) Press this key to change the Sub VFO frequency (Main VFO frequency + 5 kHz) and automatically engage the Split feature. You may program the configuration of this key, to enable use of a different function, via Menu Mode No-069 PG P1. FT-897 OPERATING MANUAL P2 key Press this key to engage the 1750-Hz burst tone for access of a repeater requiring tone burst (typically in Europe). You may program the configuration of this key, to enable use of a different function, via Menu Mode No-070 PG P2. (4) SEL knob This rotary switch is used for VFO frequency tuning, memory channel selection, and receiver audio volume level adjustment. (5) SEL/DIAL key and Indicator The SEL key switches the synthesizer steps of the SEL knob between the fine tuning (same as DIAL knob step) and coarse tuning (same as SEL knob step) modes. When the fine tuning mode is selected, the SEL LED glows orange. Press and hold in this key for one second to enable the VOL feature, which allows adjustment of the receiver audio volume level (by adjusting the SEL knob). When the VOL feature is engaged, the SEL LED glows green. To return to the synthesizer step-selection mode, just press the SEL key. (6) UP/DWN keys Press (or hold in) either of these keys to tune (or scan up or down) the operating frequency or through the memory channels. In many ways, these keys emulate the function of the FT-897s DIAL knob. Page 71
