Example: To enter 430.000 MHz, Press the T he
following keys in sequence:
4→3→H
Tips
• In factory settings, the Auto Step mode is set such that the transceiver is automatically switched to the
optimal frequency steps for the reception frequency.
You can change frequency steps manually using O (See page 37).
• If you enter a wrong digit when entering a frequency using numeric keys, you can cancel it by press-
ing p.
• In factory settings, turning O beyond the selected frequency band does not change the selected
frequency band to another frequency band and displays the selected frequency band repeatedly on
the LCD.
To prevent it, press and hold M for over 1 second to switch to the Set mode, select [8 CONFIG] →
[21 VFO MODE] and change the [21 VFO MODE] to “ALL”. Thereby, you can change the frequency
band to another frequency band by turning O beyond the selected frequency band.

Performing Communication
1 Speak into the microphone while pressing p.
When speaking into the microphone, keep it about 5 cm away from your mouth.
2 Release p.
The transceiver returns to the Reception mode.
Cautions
Use the transceiver at the minimum required transmission power level.
Doing so prevents the transceiver from overheating and saves battery power, increasing the operat-
ing time.
Do not continue transmitting for a prolonged period. The transceiver can overheat, resulting in mal-
function or burn.
If transmission is continued for a long period, the transceiver overheats and the overheat protection
function is activated. As a result, the transmitting power level is automatically set to Low Power. If
you continue transmitting while the overheat protection function is active, the transceiver will be forc-
ibly returned to the Reception mode.
If you touch the transceiver immediately after the overheat protection function has become active,
you can get burned. Wait for the temperature inside the transceiver to drop sufficiently before resum-
ing transmission.
Do not perform transmission without attaching the antenna. The transmitter circuit can be damaged.
Tips
• In the FM mode, you can transmit on the 144 MHz and 430 MHz ham radio bands.
• Even while you are receiving in the AM mode, you can transmit in the FM mode by pressing p.
• You can change the transmit power level by pressing F and then 1.
Transmit power level may be lower when using the battery pack or the alkaline battery case.
For more details, see “Changing the Transmission Power Level” on page 36.
• If p is pressed when a frequency other than the amateur ham radio band is selected, an alarm tone
(beep) will be emitted and “ERROR” appears on the LCD, disabling transmission.
• Pressing and holding M for over 1 second, and changing the Set Mode option [8 CONFIG] will allow
you to use the transceiver more conveniently.
• Selecting [8 CONFIG] → [2 BCLO] prohibits transmission during reception of a signal.

Repeater Operation
Communicating Via the Repeater
The transceiver includes an ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) function which permits com-
munication through the repeater automatically just by setting the receiver to the repeater
frequency.
1 Set the receive frequency to the repeater frequency.
“
” or “
” appears in the upper right corner of the LCD.
2 Press p, to begin communicating through the repeat-
er.
Tips
• Pressing F and then pressing 5 enters the “reverse” state where the transmit frequency and the
receive frequency are temporarily reversed. This allows you to check and find if direct communication
with the remote station is possible.
• In the “reverse” state, [
] blinks on the LCD.
• Pressing F again and then 5 exits the “reverse” state.
• Press and hold M over 1 second to enter the Set mode and change the options to allow more
convenient use of this function.
[8 CONFIG] → [14 RPT ARS] You can deactivate the ARS function.
[8 CONFIG] → [15 RPT SHIFT] You can set the repeater shift direction.
[8 CONFIG] → [16 RPT SHIFT FREQ] You can change the repeater shift step.
Tone Calling (1750 Hz)
If your transceiver is FT1XDE (European version), press and hold in the T switch
(just below the p switch) to generates a 1750 Hz burst tone to access the European
repeater. The transmitter will automatically be activated, and a 1750 Hz audio tone will
be superimposed on the carrier. Once access to the repeater has been gained, you may
release the T switch, and use the p switch for activating the transmitter thereafter.
If you need to access the repeaters which requires a 1750 Hz burst tone for access by
the FT1XDR (USA/EXP versions), you can set the T switch to serve as a “Tone Call”
switch instead. To change the configuration of this switch, use Set Mode [8 CONFIG] →
[10 MONI/T-CALL].

Repeater Operation
Repeater Shift
The FT1XDR/DE has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts customary in
the country where it is sold. For the 144 MHz band, this usually will be 600 kHz, while the
430 MHz shift will be 1.6 MHz, 7.6 MHz, or 5 MHz (USA version).
Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may be
either downward (−) or upward (+), and one of these icons will appear to the right of the
display frequency on the LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled.
Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS)
The FT1XDR/DE Automatic Repeater Shift feature causes the appropriate repeater shift
to be automatically applied whenever it is tuned into the designated repeater sub-bands.
If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it.
To re-enable ARS:
1 Press and hold the M for over 1 second to enter the set mode.
2 Turn the O to select [8 CONFIG].
3 Press H.
4 Turn the O to select [14 RPT ARS].
5 Press H.
6 Turn the O to select “ON” (to enable Automatic Repeater Shift).
7 Press the p to save the new setting and exit the Set mode.

The FT1XDR/DE transceiver provides the following various types of memory channels in
addition to the regular memory channels (numbers 001 to 900).
• [Home channels] which can be recalled on each frequency band with one touch of a
key. (See page 45)
• Preset Receiver Memory Channels such as VHF Weather Broadcast Station (10 chan-
nels), international VHF (marine) radios (57 channels) and world broadcasts (89 chan-
nels) (see pages 51 to 55)
• 99 (901 to 999) skip search memory channels that allow you to skip unwanted frequen-
cies during VFO scanning (See page 58)
• 50 sets of memory channels (L01/U01 to L50/U50) for programmable memory chan-
nels scanning (PMS) (See page 63)
The operating frequency and other operational information can be registered to each
regular memory channel, home channel, or PMS memory channel:
• Operating frequency • Memory tag • Repeater information
• Tone information • DCS information • Transmission output
• Memory channel skip information
(The operating mode information is not registered to the memory channels)
Memory channels can be sorted and registered to memory banks according to the in-
tended use. The transceiver allows you to use 24 types of memory banks. A maximum of
100 memory channels can be registered to each memory bank. A name can be assigned
to each memory bank with up to 16 characters. (See page 48)
