great versatility and operator convenience on all modes and all hf amateur
radio bands, with 100 watts of PEP transmitter power oùtput on the amateur
bands, and general coverage reception from 0.15 to 30 MHz.

Special new digital features include operator selectablemode-dependent unìng

steps, ten memory channels which store mode as well as fÎequency, auto-resume

 INSTALLATION
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Upon opening the packing carton, inspect the
transceiver carefùlly for any signs of danage.
Check to ensure lhat all exposed controls and
switches move freely, and that the cabinet has
no dents or scratches. If you notice any dam-
age, document it completely and contact the
shipping company ìrnmediarely. Save dìe packing
materials for possible futu.e use.
BASE STATION INSTALLATION
AC Power Supply
The FT-757GXIÌ requires a power source of i2
to 15 volts DC, capable of up to 20 amperes on
voice peaks. For base station insrallations,
Yaesu offers a variety of AC power sÌrpplies,
alÌ of which rnay be used vith AC line voltages
of 100, 110, 117, 200, 220 or 234 VAC.
Ho$,ever, before connectiDg any power supply to
the transceiver or AC line, make certain that
the supply is properly ser up for the local
ljne voltage, and that the correct fuse in
instaued.
The FP-757HD is a heavy duty series regulator
power supply capable of 50% duty cycle opera-
tion with full po\r'er transmissions for up to
30 minutes at a tim€. Forced-ai. eooling is
provided over an extra large internal heat-
sink. The FP-757HD requires a 6-amp fuse for
1 0 0 , 1 1 0 o r 1 1 7V A C , o r a 3 - a m p f u s e f o ! 2 0 0 ,

The FP-700 pover supply may be used for light
duty operation with the FT-757GXII (CW, SSB or
reduced-power FM and AM). AC voltages, fuse

the same as for the FP 757HD as described

FM Receition

The SHIFT, NOTCH, Noise Blanker and AcC con-

 TEST PROGRAM LISTING

Followìng is a Iisting of a BASIC program developed on an Apple [I computer

using a Yaesu FIF-654 CAT lnterface Unit, which tests a number of the CAT
System firnctions in the FT-7s7GXII. The pro$aú has been intentionally simpli-
fied so that it might easily be converted for use on other compùters with
other serial i/o systems and with other variations of BASIC. As such, it is
!!! usefirl as an application program by itself, but rather is intended to
provide some ideas for a simple approach to CAT programming, which should be
combined with the users own concepts for useful applications.

This program is not copyrighted. Anyone is free to use any part of the code
for their own use. For use in commercial applications, acknowledgement of this
manual as the source would be appreciated
