Scanning Operation
Scan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only)
Among the memories you have programmed, there may be some stations which you do
not wish to scan. For example, broadcast signals (which are transmitted continuously)
will cause the scanner to stop, and such channels may be skipped so as to avoid this inconvenience.
To remove a channel from the scanning loop:
1. Press the
key momentarily, then rotate the
knob, as needed, until Operating
Function Row 2 [MW, MC, TAG] appears on the display.
2. Recall the memory channel to be skipped.

3. Press the
memory channel number will change to become a “dot”; this
Memory Skip “OFF”
shows that this channel now is not included in the scanning
loop.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary to skip all
the channels you do not wish to scan.
Memory Skip “ON”
5. Initiate memory scanning; you will observe that the channels
you marked to be skipped are not included in the scanning
loop.
6. Press the PTT switch to stop the scan; you may now use the
knob to step
through the channels manually - one at a time - and you will observe that the “Skipped”
channels are, nonetheless, available for recall by manual means.
7. You may restore a previously-skipped channel to the scanning loop by selecting the
(MC) key momentarily so that the “dot”
channel manually, then pressing the
changes to become a “hyphen”.
Scan-Resume Choices
Scanning operation requires that you have the transceiver’s audio squelched. The
transceiver then “assumes” that the opening of the squelch corresponds to the discovery of a signal you may wish to listen to.
Once the scan has been halted, the transceiver pauses on the signal and stays
locked on its frequency for five seconds (default pause time). Thereafter, scanning
will resume whether or not the other station’s transmission has ended. The scan
resume interval can be set to 3/5/10 seconds, or off ( whereby scanning quits when
a signal is received) via Menu #41 (RESUME); see 64 for details.

Scanning Operation
Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) Operation
To limit scanning (or tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Programmable Memory Scanning (PMS) feature, which utilizes special-purpose memory pair
(“M-PL” and “M-PU”). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping you to observe
any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.
PMS setup is simple to accomplish;
1. Store the upper and lower frequency limits of the desired range into the PMS memory
pair (“M-PL” and “M-PU”).
2. Press the
key momentarily, then rotate the
knob, as needed, until Operating
Function Row 3 [STO, RCL, PMS] appears on the display.
(PMS) key. The “PMS” indication will appear at the upper left corner
3. Press the
of the LCD, signifying that the PMS feature is engaged. Tuning and scanning are now
limited within the range between the selected PMS memory pair, keeping operation
inside this programmed range.
Example: Limit tuning & scanning to the frequency range 144.300 - 148.000 MHz
1. Press the
key, as necessary, to recall the VFO mode. Tune the
knob or
knob to 144.300 MHz.
2. Press the
key momentarily, then rotate the

FT-818 Operating Manual
Scanning Operation
Note
The frequency resolution for these sub-band limits is 100 kHz, although the channel resolution of the sub-band limit memories in whatever you have selected as
the current step size. As a result, the frequencies stored in these special memories
(M-PL and M-PU) are both rounded down to the nearest 100 kHz for their roles as
sub-band limits. Therefore, in the above example, any frequency between 144.300
and 144.399 MHz may be used to store a lower tuning limit of “144.300 MHz” in
memory M-PL.

Dual Watch Operation
Note: This operation does not function in the FM Broadcast frequencies.
Dual Watch is similar, in some respects, to scanning. In Dual Watch, however, the transceiver monitors (squelched) on the VFO-A frequency while periodically checking VFO-B
for activity (or vice-versa). A typical example might be for you to set VFO-A to 50.110
MHz, watching for DX stations who might call CQ on that frequency, while periodically
checking 28.885 MHz for stations reporting band openings on 6 meters.
To activate Dual Watch:
1. Set up transmit and receive operation on VFO-A, establishing your primary monitoring frequency. Set up the frequency to be checked periodically on VFO-B.
2. Recall VFO-A, then rotate the
control until the background noise is just silenced.
3. Press the
key momentarily, then rotate the
knob, as needed, until Operating
Function Row 5 [SCN, PRI, DW] appears on the display.
(DW) key momentarily to activate Dual Watch operation (the “DW”
4. Press the
icon will appear at the bottom left corner of the LCD.
5. The transceiver will continue to monitor (squelched) on the current (VFO-A) frequency, but every five seconds will switch briefly to VFO-B frequency, looking for activity.
6. If a station is detected on the VFO-B frequency, the transceiver will pause on the
VFO-B frequency (the decimal point in the frequency will blink).

Operation on Alaska Emergency Frequency: 5167.5 khz (U.S. Version Only)
Section 97.401(d) of the regulations governing amateur radio in the United States permit
emergency amateur communications on the spot frequency of 5167.5 kHz by stations
in (or within 92.6 km of) the state of Alaska. This frequency is only to be used when the
immediate safety of human life and/or property are threatened, and is never to be used for
routine communications.
The FT-818 includes the capability for transmission and reception on 5167.5 kHz under
such emergency conditions via the Menu system. To activate this feature:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Press and hold in the
key for one second to activate the Menu mode.
Rotate the
knob to select Menu #28 (EMERGENCY).
Rotate the
knob to select “ON.”
Press and hold in the
key to exit the Menu mode.
Emergency communication on this spot frequency is now possible:
Press the
key, as necessary, to enter the Memory mode, then rotate the
knob
to select the emergency channel (M-EMG), which is found between channels M-PU
and M-001.
Note that the receive-mode Clarifier functions normally while using this frequency, but
variation of the transmit frequency is not possible. Activation of Menu #28 does not enable any other out-of-amateur-band capability on the transceiver. The full specifications
of the FT-818 are not necessarily guaranteed on this frequency, but power output and
receiver sensitivity should be fully satisfactory for the purpose of emergency communication.
If you wish to disable operation on the Alaska Emergency Frequency, repeat the procedure detailed above, but set Menu #28 to “OFF” in step 3 of the procedure.
In an emergency, note that a half-wave dipole cut for this frequency should be approximately 45’3” on each leg (90’6” total length).
Emergency operation on 5167.5 kHz is shared with the Alaska-Fixed Service. This transceiver is not authorized for operation, under the FCC’s Part 87, for aeronautical communications.

Cloning
You can transfer all data stored in one transceiver to another set by utilizing the handy
“Cloning” feature. This requires a user-constructed cloning cable which connects the
ACC jacks on the two transceivers as shown below.
To clone from one transceiver to another, use the following procedure:
1. Insert the Clone Cable into the ACC jack of each transceiver.
2. Turn both transceivers off, then press and hold in the
and
keys on each radio while turning
the power on again. The “CLONE MODE” notation will appear on the display.
3. On the “destination” radio, press the
key.
4. Now, on the “source” radio, press the
key. Data will
now be transferred to the “Destination” radio from the
“Source” radio.
5. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “Error” will
be displayed. Check your cable connections and try again.
6. If cloning is successful, turn the “destination” radio off. Now
turn the “source” radio off.
Distination radio
Source radio
Remove the clone cable. Channel and operating data for both radios are now identical.
They both may be turned on now for normal operation.
When the radio is “Large Character” mode, the radio does not display the “CLONE
MODE” which indicates the “clone mode”. However, the clone operation is the same
method.
