Display, The SM-5000 Spectrum Scope provides a visual display of an amateur band segment tuned by the VFO-A receiver. The default bandwidth allows you to see both strong and weak signals clearly depicted on the monitor screen.

The LBWS (Limited Band Width Sweep) function provides very high-speed signal detection over a limited segment of the currently displayed spectrum.

The CTR (Centre) display mode will let you monitor signals close to your current frequency (located at the centre of the screen).

The FIX mode will have the left band edge frequency fixed, and your operating frequency may be indicated within the displayed bandwidth.

Display Contrast can easily be adjusted; its illumination level will mirror the FTDX-5000 illumination level.

Note: The vertical Axis of the Spectrum Scope display is approximately 10dB per division.
