![20 FT-8800R Operating ManualHi! I’m R. F. Radio, and I’ll be helping you along as you learn the many featuresof the FT-8800R. I know you’re anxious to get on the air, but I encourage you toread the “Operation” section of this manual as thoroughly as possible, so you’ll get themost out of this fantastic new transceiver. Now. . .let’s get operating!TURNING THE TRANSCEIVER ON AND OFF1. To turn the transceiver on, press and hold in the “right”VOL knob for 2 seconds.When you turn on the FT-8900R, the current DC sup-ply voltage is indicated on the LCD for 2 seconds.After this interval, the display will switch its normalindication of the operating frequency.2. To turn the transceiver off, again press and hold in the “right” VOL knob for 2 seconds.ADJUSTING THE AUDIO VOLUME LEVELThe audio volume level is set independently for the “left” and “right” sides of the trans-ceiver. The “left” VOL knob provides adjustment for the “left” side of the FT-8800R, whilethe “right” VOL knob provides adjustment for the “right” side of the FT-8800R.ADJUSTING THE SQUELCH SETTINGThe squelch is also set independently for the “left” and “right” sides of the transceiver. The“left” SQL knob provides adjustment for the “left” side of the FT-8800R, while the “right”SQL knob provides adjustment for the “right” side of the FT-8800R.A special “RF Squelch” feature is provided on this radio. This feature allows you to set thesquelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter level will open the squelch. Seepage 26 for detailsSELECTING THE OPERATING BANDIn the factory default configuration, The FT-8800R operates in the “Dual Receive” mode.During Dual Receive operation, the “Main” band frequency ( on which transmission is pos-sible) will be indicated by the “ ” icon.To establish the “Main” band, simply press the microphone’s [P1] key (MH-48A6J, [ACC]key: MH-42B6JS), or press the DIAL knob for the “left” or “right” side momentarily, asappropriate.

![22 FT-8800R Operating ManualFREQUENCY NAVIGATION1) Tuning DialRotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps established for the currentoperating band. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL knob causes the FT-8800R to be tunedtoward a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will lower the operating frequency.On the “Main” band frequency, press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIALknob, to change the “Main” band frequency steps to 1 MHz per step. This feature is ex-tremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the FT-8800R.2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry (MH-48A6J Microphone)The keypad of the MH-48A6J DTMF Microphone may be used for direct entry of the “Main”band operating frequency.To enter a frequency from the MH-48A6J keypad, just press the numbered digits in theproper sequence. There is no “decimal point” key on the MH-48A6J keypad.Examples:To enter 146.480 MHz, press [1] à [4] à [6] à [4] à [8] à [0]To enter 433.000 MHz, press [4] à [3] à [3] à [0] à [0] à [0]3) ScanningFrom the VFO mode, press the [SCN] key momentarily to initiate scanning toward a higherfrequency. The FT-8800R will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break throughthe squelch threshold. The FT-8800R will then hold on that frequency according to thesetting of the “resume” mode (Menu #34 (SCAN); see page 65).If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency, instead of ahigher frequency), just rotate the DIAL knob one click in the counter-clockwise directionwhile the FT-8800R is scanning. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert toscanning toward a higher frequency once more, rotate the DIAL knob one click clockwise.Press the [SCN] key again to cancel scanning.BASIC OPERATIONFCC ID: K66FT-8800RVertex Standard Co., Ltd.](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/FT-8800R/User-Guide-319871-Page-24.png)

![29FT-8800R Operating ManualCTCSS OPERATIONMany repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed onyour FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of therepeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. This tone system, called“CTCSS” (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System), is included in your FT-8800R, and isvery easy to activate.CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and then setting of theTone Frequency. These actions are set up by using the Set mode #41 (TONE M)and #40 (TONE F).1. Press the [SET] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.2. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob to select Menu #41 (TONE M).3. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the “Main” band DIAL knobso that “ENC” appears on the display; this activates the CTCSS Encoder, which allowsrepeater access.You may notice an additional “DCS” icon appearing while you rotate the“Main” band DIAL knob in this step. We’ll discuss the Digital Code Squelchsystem shortly.4. Rotating the “Main” band DIAL knob one more click clockwise in step “3” above willcause “ENC.DEC” to appear. When “ENC.DEC” appears, this means that the Tone Squelchsystem is active, which mutes your FT-8800R’s receiver until it receives a call fromanother radio sending out a matching CTCSS tone. This can help keep your radio quietuntil a specific call is received, which may be helpful while operating in congested areas.5. When you have made your selection of theCTCSS tone mode, press the “Main” bandDIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the“Main” band DIAL knob one click counter-clockwise to select Menu #40 (TONE F).This Menu selection allows setting of theCTCSS tone frequency to be used.6. Press “Main” band DIAL knob momentarilyto enable adjustment of the CTCSS fre-quency.7. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob until the display indicates the Tone Frequency youneed to be using.8.

![30 FT-8800R Operating ManualCTCSS/DCS OPERATION1) Your repeater may or may not re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some systems just useCTCSS to control access to the repeater, but don’t pass it along when transmitting.If the S-Meter deflects, but the FT-8800R is not passing audio, repeat steps “1” through“4” above, but rotate the “Main” DIAL knob so that “ENC” appears - this will allow youto hear all traffic on the channel being received.2) You may select the Tone Squelch mode (ENC, ENC.DEC, or DCS) on the “Main”band by the microphone’s [P3] key.DCS OPERATIONAnother form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, moreadvanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than doesCTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-8800R, and operation is verysimilar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured for DCS;if not, it is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use transceiversequipped with this advanced feature.Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS andthat you select a tone code.1. Press the [SET] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.2. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob to select Menu #40 (TONE M).3. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the “Main” band DIAL knobuntil “DCS” appears on the display; this activates the DCS Encoder/Decoder.4. Now, press the “Main” band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the “Main” band DIALknob to select Menu #10 (DCS.COD).5. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob momen-tarily to enable the adjustment of the DCScode.6. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob to se-lect the desired DCS Code (a three-digitnumber).7. When you have made your selection, pressand hold in the “Main” band DIAL knob for1/2 second to save the new setting and exitto normal operation.1) Remember that the DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver willremain muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming transmis-sion.

![31FT-8800R Operating ManualTONE SEARCH SCANNINGIn operating situations where you don’t know the CTCSS or DCS tone being used by an-other station or stations, you can command the radio to listen to the incoming signal andscan in search of the tone being used. Two things must be remembered in this regard:¦You must be sure that your repeater uses the same tone type (CTCSS vs. DCS).¦Some repeaters do not pass the CTCSS tone; you may have to listen to the station(s)transmitting on the repeater uplink (input) frequency in order to allow Tone Search Scan-ning to work.To scan for the tone in use:1. Set the radio up for either CTCSS or DCS Decoder operation (see the previous discus-sion). In the case of CTCSS, “ENC DEC” will appear on the display; in the case of DCS,“DCS” will appear on the display.2. Press the [SET] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.3. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob to select Menu #40 (TONE F) when CTCSS is se-lected, or Menu #10 (DCS.COD) during DCS operation.4. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob to enable adjustment of the selected Menu Item.5. Press the “Main” band [SCN] key momentarily to start scanning for the incoming CTCSSor DCS tone/code.6. When the radio detects the correct tone or code, it will halt on that tone/code, and audiowill be allowed to pass. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob momentarily to lock in thattone/code, then press and hold in the “Main” band DIAL knob for 1/2 second to save thenew setting and exit to normal operation.If the Tone Scan feature does not detect a tone or code, it will continue to scanindefinitely. When this happens, it may be that the other station is not sending anytone. You can press the [SCN] key to halt the scan at any time.Tone Scanning works either in the VFO or Memory modes.CTCSS/DCS OPERATIONFCC ID: K66FT-8800RVertex Standard Co., Ltd.](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/FT-8800R/User-Guide-319871-Page-33.png)

![44 FT-8800R Operating ManualThe Smart Search feature may be used to load - automatically with no operator intervention- a special bank of up to 25 memory channels (per band) on activity.The Smart Search function will sweep the entire band, and will load the special memorybank with the frequency and repeater shift data pertaining to those channels on which activ-ity is found (if Automatic Repeater Shift is activated). The channels are loaded in order inwhich they are encountered, not according to signal strength or by ascending frequency.The Smart Search feature is especially useful when visiting a city for the first time, whereyou may be unfamiliar with the repeater frequencies; Smart Search discovers where thelocal activity is to be found, and automatically loads those frequencies for you.Smart Search operation is simple to activate:1. Set the radio to the VFO mode by pressing the [V/M] key, if necessary.2. Press and hold in the [V/M] key; this will cause the radio to scan upward on the currentband, loading channels on which it encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch.3. When 25 channels are loaded, or when the scanner reaches the band edge, the scannerwill stop and the transceiver will revert to the starting frequency.4. To recall the Smart Search memories just stored, rotate the DIAL knob or press themicrophone’s [UP]/[DWN] keys (for the “Main” band Smart Search memories only).5. If you found particular channels which you wish to store into the “regular” memorychannel, follow the memory storage procedures described on page 32.1) The Smart Search memories are so-called “soft” memories; they will lost if youexit the Smart Search mode or initiate a new Smart Search sweep.2) You may activate the Smart Search operation on the “Main” band by press and holdthe microphone’s [P2] key.3) You may activate the Smart Search operation on the “left” and “right” bands at thesame time.SMART SEARCHFCC ID: K66FT-8800RVertex Standard Co., Ltd.](https://usermanual.wiki/Yaesu-Musen/FT-8800R/User-Guide-319871-Page-46.png)
![46 FT-8800R Operating ManualThe ARTS feature uses DCS signaling to inform both parties when you and another ARTS-equipped station are within communications range. This may be particularly useful duringSearch-and Rescue situations, where is important to stay in contact with other members ofyour group.Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate theirARTS feature using the command appropriate for their radio. Alert ringers may be activated,if desired.Whenever you push the PTT switch, or every 25 seconds after ARTS is activated, your radiowill transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS signal for about one second. If theother radio is in range, the beeper will sound (if enabled) and the display will show “IN.RNG”as opposed to the out of range display “OUT.RNG” in which ARTS operation begins.Whether you talk or not, the polling every 25 seconds will continue until you de-activateARTS. Every 10 minutes, moreover, you can have your radio transmit your callsign via CW,so as to comply with identification requirements. When ARTS is de-activated, DCS will alsobe deactivated (if you were not using it previously in non-ARTS operation).If you move out of range for more than one minute (four pollings), your radio will sense thatno signal has been received, three beeps will sound, and the display will revert to “OUT.RNG.”If you move back into range, your radio will again beep, and the display will change back tothe “IN.RNG” indication.During ARTS operation, it is not possible to change the operating frequency or other set-tings on the “Main” band; you must terminate ARTS in order to resume normal operation.This is a safety feature designed to prevent accidental loss of contact due to channel change,etc. Here is how to activate ARTS:Basic ARTS Setup and Operation1.

![55FT-8800R Operating ManualDCS CODE INVERSIONThe DCS system was first introduced in the commercial LMR (Land Mobile Radio) service,where it is now in widespread use. DCS is sometime referred to by its different proprietarynames, such as DPL® (Digital Private Line®, a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.).DCS uses a codeword consisting of a 23-bit frame, transmitted (subaudible) at a data rate of134.4 bps (bit/sec). Occasionally, signal inversion can result in the complement of a code tobe sent or received. This prevent receiver squelch from opening with DCS enabled, as thedecoded bit sequence would not match that selected for operation. Typical situations thatmight cause inversion to occur are:¦Connection of an external receiver preamplifier.¦Operating through a repeater.¦Connection of an external linear amplifier.Note that code inversion does not mean that any of the above listed equipment is detective!In certain amplifier configurations, the output signal (phase) is inverted from the input.Small signal or power amplifiers having an odd number (1, 3, 5, etc.) of amplification stagesmay result in inversion of a transmitted or received DCS code.While under most circumstances this should not occur (amplifier designs and industry stan-dards take this into account), if you find that your receiver squelch does not open when bothyou and the other station are using a common DCS code, you or the other station (but notboth) can try the following:1.

This feature is useful for emergency portable work in a remote area, andfor cross-band linking.However, remember these points before using the cross-band repeater function:¦Check the amateur radio rules and regulations for your country to ensure that this type ofoperation is permitted.¦Pick your frequency pair carefully, so as not to cause harmful interference to other users.The use of cross-band repeaters has the potential to cause serious disruption of commu-nications circuits, and the creation of harmful interference to coordinated repeaters isinconsiderate and may be illegal! If you are not sure of active repeater frequencies inyour area, a safe rule is to stay off of the repeater sub-bands and use the FM simplexportion of each band. Contact your area’s frequency coordinator for guidance.¦Remember that the transmit duty cycle will be much higher during repeater service, sowe recommend that the transmit power level be set to a Low setting, to ensure cooleroperation.Transceiver CTCSS settings (Encode/Decode) may, of course, be selected for each band,allowing selective calling for your repeater. However, keep in mind that if the channels youuse are so busy as to motivate you toward CTCSS Decoding, you may not have chosen agood frequency pair on which to operate, as the potential for interference to other users ishigh.Here is the procedure for setting up cross-band repeat operation:1.
