Adding Pan-adapter Capability to the Yaesu FT-2000/FT-950
Jeff Blaine ACØC v2 - Dec 2009
A great deal is made over the Flex series click-tune and bandscope capabilities. The same features
can be added to the FT-2000 as well providing possibly the best of both worlds all the convenience
of the bandscope and quick navigation combined with the traditional feel of “hands on knobs.”
Following is a summary of how to get the FT2000 configured to have band scope service. The
capability of the band scope depends on how much time and money you would like to invest. And
there are a lot of ways to do it. I’ll try to outline them all here.
[Note the procedure for installation and use with into the FT-950 is identical except for the cable
routing. This is explained in the RFSPACE documentation. But all the comments here on the FT-2000
are applicable to the FT-950 as well.]
But for as little as $250, you too can have most of the key features of the Flex and all the features of
your FT-2000 working together!
Note: The following assumes the reader has some computer and hardware competence. There is
little risk to the rig, and at the basic level, not a lot of $$ at risk. However, please consider that the kit
build is a easy to mid-level complexity project - and the software part will take some time and
adjustment to get it working FB.
Good luck es 73 / ac0c

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware involves adding a plug-in card into the FT2000 and attaching the of the plug-in card
output to a SDR and then onto a computer
Software (in the basic form) involves using PowerSDR program and HRD for rig control.
Shopping list:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound card price range: $0-$200
Any sound card will work. The sensitivity to weak signals that are noticeable above the noise floor of
the band scope will depend on the noise floor of your sound card - and the strength of the signal into
the SDR.
A typical PC made in the last few years will provide 48khz bandwidth service. And with a higher end
add-in sound card, the bandwidth you can see in one view is larger 96khz or 192khz.

excellent web page here:
