I do not know how robust the needle would be, if the glass cover was permanently removed, and the pointer continually checked. For a blind operator this is terrific.
I have wanted to evaluate the FT2000 for some time. 
/Resources << /Parent 2 0 R But, looking at the control box, the rotator appears to be completely accessible as a standalone unit. For its price point, I believe the FT2000 is currently the most inexpensive radio with separate receivers. 
The long thin buttons running under the display on the left hand side are very easy to use, but I found some of the other buttons were quite tricky to orientate myself around, because of their unusual shape.

This requires an additional Yaesu interface box with appropriate cables, but the unit appears to be very expensive.
Therefore, obtaining the frequency and mode information requires a connection between the radio and a PC. /ProcSet [/PDF /Text ] If you intend to only put up a small yagi, the G800 may well be adequate, but if you are putting up a large yagi with many square feet of wind load, then opt for the G1000, or if the yagi will be huge, better go for the G2800. It is almost inevitable that a blind operator will need sighted assistance for this initial phase. /Contents 4 0 R

A recording of the Yaesu G800 G1000 and G2800 rotator handbook has been added to the Manuals section. Even for a blind operator, it has certain features that make it worth investigating, even without speech output.
Having established the FT 2000 was relatively easy to use, I wanted to make sure I could easily use the split facility and the sub receiver. A brief note on the buttons. This all seemed very promising, so Rob brought his rotator control box over to my QTH for me to have a look at. >> >> This rotator had Clockwise and Anticlockwise levers, but the needle was hidden under the glass facia. I did not actually try assigning the CS button on this borrowed radio, so this is something to make sure of yourself. In summary, the FT2000 can be satisfactorily used by a blind operator, but for independent operation needs to be connected to a PC via CAT. With a radio of this complexity there are several ways of being able to work split. These contain RF Power , Mike Gain, VOX Delay, Manual Notch ,and the RF and AF gain for the Main and Sub receivers. I dont know if the G800 has this feature or not, but just call HRO, and they could tell you. So, no matter where I am pointing, the rotor always returns to North. /Type /Page As there is no automatic slow start and slow stop on this rotator, I assume it would be easy to increase the speed manually if you are moving the rotator over a large distance, but decrease the speed again for the stop. This evaluation is therefore slightly different from the stand alone reviews I have conducted previously, as it is indeed possible to use an apparently inaccessible radio with no voice output, if a computer can be operated. /F1 6 0 R I turned my 4 element SteppIr with a G1000 for 5 years without problems, and when I replaced the 4 element SteppIr with the much larger DB36, I bought the largest of Yaesus line, the G2800.

Direct keypad entry of a frequency was straightforward. I have had the FT2000 here on the bench for a couple of days only, and so this accessibility review can only really be my impressions on the radio, and I would encourage any blind amateur to do more research and check out my very superficial observations. The version I tested has an internal PSU and the radio is plugged directly into the mains.

There are differently shaped buttons at the end of the row to select A and B receivers. << The sub receiver must be on the same band as the main receiver, but it is possible to monitor different signals in each ear, using stereo headphones. During a recent conversation with Rob G0WSC, he told me he was installing a new Yaesu G1000 DXC rotator, and he was looking forward to having computer control. Just turn the bump to the 9 oclock position, and this will equate to a bearing of 270 degrees, or West. As I have mentioned in previous evaluations, my usual operating practice is working DX, and this inevitably involves working on Split frequencies. Newly developed rotators for medium size short wave beams and big 145MHz antennas with 450 degree rotation (i.e. stream In fact, I found the price to be very slightly more than the rotator itself! >> The radio is turned on by using a button at the top left corner, and the VOX button is conveniently positioned here too.

My very first rotator was a Kenpro KR600. Much to my surprise, the glass plate is designed to be removed, so a more detailed clock face can be fitted! ksznm In terms of accessibility, the main challenge for a blind operator using the FT 2000 is the lack of a voice synthesiser. Every common function has a dedicated button or knob, meaning the inaccessible menu is not required in daily use. 4 0 obj It soon became obvious, there is literally a button or a knob for every common function. I can well imagine the rotator could be supplied with another controller. But, from my own personal experience, I like to be able to put in a definite frequency, so I dont need to keep checking the voice output. Limiting the tuning power to 20 watts while keeping the TX power at 100 watts is very useful. It certainly made for a very accessible method of rotator control, which has been made even better with the addition of the pre-set facility.
My good friend Rob G0WSC has been using the FT 2000 for about four years, and whilst Rob is sighted, it became obvious that once initially set up, the Menu seldom needed to be accessed again. I just took the front cover off and I touch the needle to find out where the rotor is pointing, and I have never moved the needle inadvertently. There are lots and lots of buttons and knobs, But it doesnt take long to start understanding the radios layout. You are now ready for Split operation with a shift of three kHz.
Each revolution of the VFO moves 10khz, but I would imagine this can be changed in the Menu. Sighted operators may well find they never need to use the split function at all, as the Clarifier itself allows an adjustment over 10 kHz! /MediaBox [0 0 612 792]
