DCS Operation
Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more
advanced tone system that is less susceptible to false triggering than CTCSS. A DCS
Encoder/Decoder is built into your transceiver, and operation is very similar to that described above for CTCSS.

ARTSTM (Auto Range Transpond System) Operation
The ARTSTM system uses DCS signaling to inform you when you and another ARTS™equipped station are within communications range. This can be especially valuable during
search-and-rescue operations, as a base station can quickly use ARTS™ to alert a field
unit that it is out of range; the field unit can then move to a better location to re-establish
communications.

The ARTS™ feature offers a choice of beep options to alert you to the current status of
ARTS™ operation. Use Menu #09 (ARTS BEEP) on page 59 to select the beep option
that is best for your operating needs.
CW Identifier Setup
The ARTS™ feature includes a CW identifier. When it is activated, the radio will send “DE
(your callsign) K” in Morse code every ten minutes during ARTS™ operation.
To program the CW IDer, use Menu #31 (ID), as described on page 62. And to activate
the CW IDer, use Menu #18 (CW ID).

Transmitter Operation
Digital Mode Operation (SSB-Based AFSK)
The FT-818 provides extensive capability for digital mode operation on the HF, VHF,
and UHF bands. The use of AFSK (Audio Frequency-Shifted Keying) configurations allows a wide variety of different communication modes to be utilized. The Menu provides
for specific digital mode selections, which include custom BFO offsets to optimize the
receive and transmit passbands for the mode selected.
Before beginning Digital operation, you need to define which Digital mode will be utilized. To do this, use Menu #26 as follows (in this example, we will set up RTTY as the
Digital mode):
1.
2.

4.
Press and hold in the
key for one second to enter the Menu mode.
Rotate the
knob to select Menu #26 (DIG MODE).
Rotate the
knob to select “RTTY.”
Press and hold in the
key for one second to save the new setting and exit.
Use this technique to set up any digital mode.
RTTY (Radio TeleType) Operation
The “RTTY” mode on the FT-818 is based on LSB-side carrier injection, in accordance
with long-standing amateur practice. If you need USB-side injection for your application,
see the “User” mode discussion below.
1. Connect your TNC (Terminal Node Controller) or terminal modem to the FT-818’s
rear-panel DATA jack, per the illustration.
2. Press the
key, as needed, to select the DIG mode (the “DIG”
icon will appear on the display). Be certain to use the “TX Audio” line from your
TNC, not an “FSK Key” line, for the transmit-data connection.
3. Press the
key, as needed, to select the DIG mode (the “DIG”
icon will appear on the display). You should now be able to tune around the band, and
any RTTY signals heard should be capable of being decoded.

4. If the optional YF-122C 500 Hz filter has been installed, it may be used for RTTY
(NAR)
work. Recall Operating Function Row 7 [IPO, ATT, NAR] then press the
key to engage the narrow filter.
5. To set up the transmit side, be sure that the Meter is set to monitor ALC voltage. If
key momentarily, then rotate the
knob to select to select Opnot, press the
(MTR) key so as to select
erating Function Row 9 [PWR, MTR], then press the
metering of ALC.
6. Press and hold in the
key for 1/2 second to enter the Menu mode, then rotate the
knob to select Menu #25 (DIG MIC).
7. Following the instructions for your TNC’s software, activate the transmitter from the
computer keyboard; this should cause the AFSK output from the TNC to be sent to the
radio. While transmitting, view the ALC meter; a few “dots” of ALC indication should
be observed. If not, rotate the
knob to adjust the AFSK level. Press and hold in
the
key for one second to save the new AFSK level setting and return to normal
operation. You are now ready for RTTY operation.
Because RTTY is a continuous-duty transmission mode, try to keep your transmission
short when running on battery power, so as to minimize current drain.
PSK31 Operation
Two dedicated PSK31 modes are available, one each for USB-side and LSB-side injection. For BPSK work, the injection does not matter, but for QPSK the two working stations must use the same sideband.
Connect the FT-818 to your computer’s sound card or interface.
Setup for PSK31 operation is basically identical to that previously described for RTTY
operation. As before, use the “DIG” mode. However, in Menu #26, select “PSK31-L” (for
LSB injection) or “PSK31-U” (for USB injection). As with RTTY, Menu #25 may be used
to set the drive to the transmitter. And the YF-122C 500 Hz filter may also be utilized, as
described previously.

Transmitter Operation
“USER” Defined Digital Modes
Also provided in the FT-818 are two convenient “USER” Digital modes, one each providing USB- and LSB-side injection, which may be used for SSTV, Fax, Pactor, and other
digital operating modes.
Here is an example involving the configuration of the USER mode for RTTY with USBside injection (as opposed to LSB injection, used in the default “RTTY” mode):
1. Use Menu #26 to set the Digital mode to “USER-U.”
2. Press the
key, as needed, to select the DIG mode (the “DIG”
icon will appear on the display).
3. Now use Menu #27 to configure the transceiver’s passband response. Once in the
Menu mode, rotate the
knob to select Menu #27 (DIG SHIFT), and rotate the
knob to set the desired BFO offset (depending on how your TNC’s tones are set
up). For typical high-frequency tone use, a setting of about “+2100” will be a good
starting point.
4. Finally, depending on how you wish the display to respond, you may program in a
corresponding display shift, using Menu #24 (DIG DISP). Remember to press and hold
in the
key for one second when exiting the Menu mode.
5. The setup of the AFSK drive level is identical to that described previously for RTTY
operation.
The USER-L and USER-U Digital modes should allow you to operate on any SSBbased AFSK Digital mode. Note that the “PSK31” configurations will also work well
for many Digital operating situations.

Transmitter Operation
Packet (1200/9600 bps FM) Operation
The FT-818 is designed for operation on either 1200 bps or 9600 bps packet, and setup
is similar to that described previously for SSB-based modes. A separate Data input adjustment is provided, allowing you to optimize the deviation on the FM Packet modes
separately from the SSB-based Digital modes. The RX-Data output lines are fixed-level
outputs, not affected by the setting of the AF Gain control.
1. Connect your TNC to the FT-818’s rear-panel DATA jack, per the illustration. Note
that different connections are used for 1200 bps and 9600 bps Packet.
2. Use Menu #40 (PKT RATE) to select the desired Packet mode. Once you have entered
the Menu and have selected Menu #40, rotate the
knob to select either “1200”
or “9600” (bps) as the Packet rate.
3. Press the
key, as needed, to select the PKT mode (the “PKT”
icon will appear on the display).
4. You are now set up for reception on Packet. If you are operating on 1200 bps, try now
to connect to another station or node; you may well find that the drive level needs no
further adjustment.
5. If you are having trouble connecting due to insufficient or excessive drive from the
TNC to the FT-818, use Menu #39 (PKT MIC) to set the drive. Use your terminal software’s “test” protocol to send out test tones, and adjust the deviation by rotating the
knob, which will vary the data input level to the FT-818’s modulator. Remember to press and hold in the
key for one second when adjustments are completed,
so as to save the new setting for Menu #39.
The 9600 bps Packet deviation setting is very critical to successful operation, and it can
only be accomplished using a calibrated deviation meter; the optimum setting is usually
±2.75 kHz (±0.25 kHz). For 1200 bps, the optimum level is much less critical, with the
optimum deviation being between ±2.5 kHz and ±3.5 kHz.

Transmitter Operation
AM Transmission
The FT-818 utilizes low-level amplitude modulation of an early stage for transmission
purposes. This capability is primarily provided for emergency use only, as low-power operation typically utilizes more efficient transmission/reception modes.
The AM carrier level is preset to 1.5 Watts during alignment at the factory, and should not
require further adjustment. It is important to remember that AM transmission requires that
power must be distributed among the carrier and voice sidebands; therefore, if excessive
carrier power is used, there will be insufficient power available for the information-carrying voice sidebands.
The AM microphone gain is preset at the factory to a value which typically provides good
audio. If you need to modify the microphone gain in the AM mode, use Menu #05 (AM
MIC). See page 58 for details.
Split Frequency Operation
This transceiver provides convenient split-frequency operation, using the VFO-A and
VFO-B, for DX working and other operating situations requiring unique split frequency
pairs.
The example below will describe a typical split-frequency DX situation on the 20-meter
band, with a DX station transmitting on 14.025 MHz, listening 10 kHz higher in the band.
1. Set VFO-A to 14.035.00 MHz CW (DX station’s listening frequency).
