If you have not operated your FT-818 within the past week, we recommend that you plug in the Battery Charger, and perform a 10 hour (use for PA-48B/C/U) charge cycle, to ensure that the SBR-32MH is ready for operation when you are. 16 FT-818 Operating Manual Operation Operating Band Selection BAND ( DWN ) This transceiver covers an incredibly wide freBAND ( UP ) quency range, over which a number of different operating modes are used. Therefore, this transceiver’s frequency coverage has been divided into different operating bands, each of with has its own pre-set channel steps and operating modes. You can change the channel steps and operating mode once you get started, of course, per the next section. HOME VM SE L LOCK AF PWR SQL/RF CLAR To change the frequency band, press either the to the next lower or higher operating band, respectively. 1.8 MHz 3.5 MHz 430 MHz 7.0 MHz 144 MHz 10 MHz 108 MHz or 14 MHz 88 MHz key to move 15 MHz 50 MHz 18 MHz 28 MHz 21 MHz 24 MHz 1) Recalling the 5 MHz band (U.S. model) requires different procedure. See page 20 for details. 2) VFOa and VFOb are independent VFOs, so they may be set to different bands. See the “Stacked VFO System” discussion on page 19 for details. Mode Selection Press either the or key to move among the eight settings for the operating modes, respectively.

Rotate the ing level. Adjusting the Audio Volume Level knob to set a comfortable listen- When operating in the “DIG” or “PKT” modes, you may set the knob to any comfortable setting, or even all the way off, because the output from the DATA jack is a fixed-level audio signal. HOME VM SE L LOCK AF PWR SQL/RF CLAR AF Start with the knob set fully counter-clockwise, especially when using FM (the background noise on FM can be surprisingly loud)! FT-818 Operating Manual 17 Operation Menu Quick Start Many aspects of this transceiver’s configuration may be customized using the convenient “Menu” system, which allow you to configure many “set and forget” settings just the way you want to. A full discussion of the Menu system beings on page 56; for now, here is a brief discussion on how to change Menu settings: 1. Press and hold in the key for one second to enter the Menu mode. 2. Rotate the knob to recall the Menu item to be changed (for example, Menu #01, which Enables or Disables the Automatic Repeater Shift on the 144 MHz band). 3. Rotate the knob to set this feature (in this example, the default setting is “ENknob to set this feature to “DISABLE.” ABLE,” so rotate the 4. Press and hold in the key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. If you have momentarily pressed the key to change an operating function, press the key momentarily again (to clear the function indications for the keys) before engaging the Menu. Adjusting the RF Gain and Squelch The control is configured differently, depending on the country to which the FT818 has been exported. In the U.S. version, the default function of this control is “RF Gain.” The configuration of the control is set via Menu #45; see page 65 for details. If your transceiver is configured for “RF Gain” SQL/RF use, rotating this control fully clockwise in the SSB/CW/Digital modes will provide best sensitivity. To reduce the receiver’s RF Gain somewhat, rotate this control counter-clockwise slightly. You will observe an increasing number of bars on the S-meter as you rotate the control counter-clockwise; this indicates increasing AGC voltage, which is causing the front-end gain to be reduced. In the FM and Packet modes, this control will automatically be set to an “Auto-Squelch” mode, wherein the FM/Packet squelch threshold is pre-set at the factory; the control still acts as an “RF Gain” control, however, and it normally should be set fully clockwise. If this control is configured for “SQL” operation, the FT-818’s RF Gain will be set for maximum sensitivity in all modes, and the control will function solely as a Squelch control. In this case, rotate the control to the point where the background noise is just silenced; this will provide the best sensitivity to weak signals, while keeping the receiver quiet when no signal is received. The LED just above the Main Dial will glow Green when the squelch is opened by an incoming signal or noise. Note: Squelch operation does not function in the FM Broadcast frequencies. HOME VM SE L LOCK AF PWR SQL/RF CLAR Battery consumption is significantly reduced if the receiver is squelched, as the audio amplifier stage is shut off when the receiver is muted. 18 FT-818 Operating Manual Operation Setting the Operating Frequency 1. In the “SSB/CW/DIG” modes, rotate the knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation of the knob increases the operating frequency. SEL DIAL 2. In the “AM/FM/PKT” modes, rotate the knob to set the frequency. Clockwise rotation of the knob increases the operating frequency. 3. You may also use the knob to adjust the operating frequency in the “SSB/CW/ knob provides faster tuning, ideal for making quick changes DIG” modes. The in frequency when you want to move across the band in a hurry. You can then use the knob to make fine frequency adjustments. 4. If you press the knob momentarily, then rotate the knob, you can now change the operating frequency in 1 MHz steps, allowing very quick frequency excursions. This can be particularly helpful on the VHF and UHF bands. 5. In step 2 above, it was mentioned that tuning in the “AM/FM/PKT” modes is accomplished using the knob. By default, the knob is disabled in these modes; if you wish to enable the knob in these modes, use Menu #04; see page 58. 6. The synthesizer steps for the knob may be adjusted independently by mode. Use Menu #06 for AM, #30 for FM, and #47 for SSB/CW/Digital. See pages 58, 62, and 65 for details. HOME VM SE L LOCK AF PWR SQL/RF CLAR The main knob synthesizer’s tuning rate (the number of steps per rotation of the knob) can be adjusted using Menu #33. See page 63 for details.

Now press the two such VFOs provided on each Amateur band, so you may set VFO-A to the CW sub-band, and VFO-B to the SSB sub-band, if you like. The operating mode will be preserved, along with the frequency information, on each VFO. FT-818 Operating Manual 19 Operation Operation on 5 MHz Band (U.S. Version Only) The FT-818 includes the capability for transmission and reception on the five spot frequencies assigned to the Amateur Service in the United States. To operate on the 5 MHz band: 1. Press the key once to enter the “Memory” mode (a memory channel number “M-nnn” will appear on the display in the space previously occupied by “VFOa” or “VFOb”). 2. Rotate the knob to select the desired SEL channel (“M-601” through “M-605”), at the factory, with the permitted frequencies in the 5 MHz band. If you have partitioned your memory channels into Memory Groups via Menu #34, the memory channel numbers for 60-meter operation will be displayed as “l - 001” ~ “l-005.” See page 44 for details regarding Memory Group operation, and page 63 for details regarding Menu #34. 3. Pressing the or key momentarily, switches the operating mode between SSB and CW. 4. To exit from 60-meter operatin and return to the VFO mode, just press the key (the memory channel number will be replaced by “VFOa” or “VFOb”).

When the “transmit” command is received from the TNC, the FT-818 transmitter will be engaged. The microphone input is disabled automatically when transmitting the PSK signal. Likewise, the TNC “receive” command will cause the radio to revert to the receive mode. You can adjust DATA input level using Menu #25 [DIG MIC]. During PSK operation via the rear panel DATA jack, the front panel MIC jack is cut off, so you won’t have a “live microphone” problem during data operation. Set the PSK sub carrier frequency of the TNC to 1.5 kHz. 20 FT-818 Operating Manual Receiver Accessories Clarifier (Receiver Incremental Tuning) The Clarifier (RIT) allows you to set an offset of up to ±9.99 kHz of the receive frequency relative to your transmit frequency. To achieve a wider offset than this, you may use the “Split” operating mode, described later. SEL 1. Press the switch momentarily to activate the Clarifier function. 2. Turn the knob, which allows the receiver frequency to be varied over a range of 9.99 kHz. 3. When the receiving frequency is higher than CLAR transmit frequency, the “ ” icon will appear at the right of the frequency display. Similarly, when the receiving frequency is lower than transmit frequency, the “ ” icon will appear at the right of the frequency display. 4. When the receiving frequency is equal to transmit frequency (Clarifier offset is zero) while the Clarifier is activated, the “ ” icon will appear at the right of the frequency display. 5. To turn the Clarifier off, again press the switch momentarily. When you turn the Clarifier back on, the offset previously stored will still be applied. 6. To reset the Clarifier offset to zero, turn the Clarifier off, then turn the knob by any amount. The Clarifier will reset to zero after the first “step” of the knob.

SEL 1. Press the switch for one second to activate the IF SHIFT feature. A “ ”, “ ,” or “ ” icon will appear at the right of the frequency display to indicate the IF SHIFT’s current position. 2. Rotate the knob, as needed, to reduce or CLAR eliminate the interference. 3. To turn the IF SHIFT feature off, again press the switch for one second. The last setting of the IF SHIFT control will be retained until you change it again. 4. If you wish to make a more permanent shift in the receiver’s IF passband, use Menu #54 (LSB) or #55 (USB) in the “Extended Menu.” This allows you to set up a higher or lower listening pitch, if you prefer such as compared to the default passband response. See page 66. HOME VM SE L LOCK AF PWR SQL/RF CLAR Engaging of the IF Shift feature does not disable the setting of the Clarifier control.
