I don't currently own the FT-2000 station, so I can't give you the differences, but as with any set up you will need to tweak the settings to fit your voice characteristics. Good luck with your new FT-2000 and let me know if I can offer any further information. 73, Bill AB4BJ Bob – My settings for the GM-5 and Apex-215 were very similar but not exactly the same.

I'm about to receive my FT-2000 and I will be using the Goldline GM-5. Thanks for the write-up, I learned something about the settings. 73 Bob-KD8HXT Bill, did you use the same settings for both the Apex-215 and the Goldline Mic?

Just a little update about this message. I was not wrong about the 3Khz. TX bandwith, but people found a secret option to extend the TX bandwidth to 4Khz. without modifying the radio by hardware. The message ---------------- I found this in the ESSB Yahoo forum and it seems to work: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I just found out that the FT-2000 is capable of a transmit bandwidth of 50 Hz to 4000 Hz (4Khz). For those who want to take advantage of the full transmit features of the FT-2000 and for those who use external audio gear such as the W2IHY 8-Band EQ, W2IHY EQPlus or Behringer Audio Gear, you may want to experiment with this. For those that are not interested in this ESSB audio, please be tolerant with the many FT-2000 users who are. Here is the simple procedure:: 1.While powering on the radio hold the CONT and DNR buttons in. 2.Go to Menu 85 and turn the Sub VFO to the right until you see ttbf. (we don't know what this stands for yet). 3.Push the Menu button in and listen for the Beep and this saves the new setting. The FT-2000/FT2000D is now in the 50 Hz to 4 Khz transmit bandwidth. To receive in this same bandwidth put the WIDTH knob fully clockwise and you will see all of the LED's lit. Also put the SHIFT knob in the center. You can see thes changes on your DMU. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have fun with it... 73 de Henk [pd5dp] Hi,
