cal amateur radio station. It is presumed that you possess technical knowledge and concep-
tual understanding consistent with your status as a licensed radio amateur. Please take some extra time to make certain that the important safety and technical requirements detailed in this chapter are followed closely. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION Inspect the transceiver visually immediately upon opening the packing carton. Confirm that all controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Gently shake the transceiver to verify that no internal components have been shaken loose due to rough handling during shipping. If any evidence of damage is discovered, document it thoroughly and contact the shipping company (or your local dealer, if the unit was purchased over-the-counter) so as to get instructions regarding the prompt resolution of the damage situation. Be certain to save the shipping carton, especially if there are any punctures or other evidence of damage incurred during shipping; if it is necessary to return the unit for service or replacement, use the origi-
nal packing materials but put the entire package inside another packing carton, so as to preserve the evidence of shipping damage for insurance purposes. INSTALLATION TIPS To ensure long life of the components, be certain to provide adequate ventilation around the cabinet of the FT-1802M. Do not install the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device (such as a power supply or amplifier), and do not place equipment, books, or papers on top of the FT-1802M. Avoid heating vents and window locations that could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates. The FT-1802M should not be used in an environ-
ment where the ambient temperature exceeds +140 F (+60 C). 4 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL INSTALLATION SAFETY INFORMATION The FT-1802M is an electrical apparatus, as well as a generator of RF (Radio Frequency) energy, and you should exercise all safety precautions as are appropriate for this type of device. These safety tips apply to any device installed in a well-designed amateur radio station. Never allow unsupervised children to play in the vicinity of your transceiver or an-
tenna installation. Be certain to wrap any wire or cable splices thoroughly with insulating electrical tape, to prevent short circuits. Do not route cables or wires through door jambs or other locations where, through wear and tear, they may become frayed and shorted to ground or to each other. Do not stand in front of a directional antenna while you are transmitting into that antenna. Do not install a directional antenna in any location where humans or pets may be walking in the main directional lobe of the antennas radiation pattern. In mobile installations, it is preferable to mount your antenna on top of the roof of the vehicle, if feasible, so as to utilize the car body as a counterpoise for the antenna and raise the radiation pattern as far away from passengers as possible. During vehicular operation when stopped (in a parking lot, for example), make it a practice to switch to Low power if there are people walking nearby. Never wear dual-earmuff headphones while driving a vehicle. Do not attempt to drive your vehicle while making a telephone call on an autopatch using the DTMF microphone. Pull over to the side of the road, whether dialing manu-
ally or using the auto-dial feature. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 5 INSTALLATION ANTENNA CONSIDERATION The FT-1802M is designed for use with antennas presenting an impedance of near 50 Ohms at all operating frequencies. The antenna (or a 50 Ohm dummy load) should be connected whenever the transceiver is turned on, to avoid damage that could otherwise result if trans-
mission occurs accidentally without an antenna. Ensure that your antenna is designed to handle 50 Watts of transmitter power. Some mag-
netic-mount mobile antennas, designed for use with hand-held transceivers, may not be capable of withstanding this power level. Consult the antenna manufacturers specification sheet for details. Most all FM work is performed using vertical polarization. When installing a directional antenna such as a Yagi or Cubical Quad, be certain to orient it so as to produce vertical polarization, unless you are engaged in a special operating situation where horizontal polar-
ization is used. In the case of a Yagi antenna, orient the elements vertically for vertical polarization; for a Cubical Quad, the feedpoint should be at the center of one of the vertical sides of the driven element (or at a side corner, in the case of a diamond-shaped Cubical Quad). Excellent reference texts and computer software are available for the design and optimiza-
tion of VHF antennas. Your dealer should be able to assist you with all aspects of your antenna installation requirements. Use high-quality 50 Ohm coaxial cable for the lead-in to your FT-1802M transceiver. All efforts at providing an efficient antenna system will be wasted if poor quality, lossy coaxial cable is used. Losses in coaxial lines increase as the frequency increases, so an 8-meter-long
(25 coaxial line with 1/2 dB of loss at 29 MHz may have a loss of 1.8 dB or more at 146 MHz; choose your coaxial cable carefully based on the installation location (mobile vs. base) and the overall length of the cable required (for very short runs of cable in a mobile installation, the smaller, more flexible cable types may be acceptable). For reference, the chart at the right shows ap-
proximate loss figures for typically-available coaxial cables frequently used in VHF instal-
lations. Loss in dB per 30 m (100 feet) for Selected 50-Ohm Coaxial Cables
(Assumes 50-ohm Input/Output Terminations) CABLE TYPE RG-58A LOSS: 144 MHZ RG-58 Foam In outdoor installations, be certain to weather-
proof all connectors thoroughly, as water en-
tering a coaxial cable will cause losses to es-
calate rapidly, thus diminishing your commu-
nications effectiveness. The use of the shortest possible length of the highest quality coaxial cable that fits within your budget will ensure the best performance from your FT-1802M. Loss figures are approximate; consult cable manu-
facturers catalogs for complete specifications. RG-8 Foam Belden 9913 Times Microwave LMR-400 7/8 Hardline RG-213 6.5 4.7 3.0 2.0 1.5 1.5 0.7 6 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL INSTALLATION MOBILE INSTALLATION The FT-1802M must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground elec-
trical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied MMB-86 mounting bracket. The transceiver may be installed in almost any location, but should not be positioned near a heating vent nor anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or mechani-
cally). Make sure to provide plenty of space on all sides of the transceiver so that air can flow freely around the radios case. Refer to the diagrams showing proper installation proce-
dures. MMB-36 Installation FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 7 INSTALLATION MOBILE INSTALLATION Mobile Power Connections To minimize voltage drop and avoid blowing the vehicles fuses, connect the supplied DC power cable directly to the battery terminals. Do not attempt to defeat or bypass the DC cables fuse - it is there to protect you, your transceiver, and your vehicles electrical system. Warning!
Never apply AC power to the power cable of the FT-1802M, nor DC voltage greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, only use a 15-A fuse. Failure to observe these safety precautions will void the Limited Warranty on this product.
Before connecting the transceiver, check the voltage at the battery terminals while rev-
ving the engine. If the voltage exceeds 15 Volts, adjust the vehicles voltage regulator before proceeding with installation.
Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, and the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE () terminal. If you need to extend the power cable, use #12 AWG or larger insulated, stranded copper wire. Solder the splice connections carefully, and wrap the connections thoroughly with insulating electrical tape.
Before connecting the cable to the transceiver, verify the voltage and polarity of the voltage at the transceiver end of the DC cable using a DC voltmeter. Now connect the transceiver to the DC cable. FT-1802M Cabin
Engine Room RED: Positive (+) BLACK: Negative () Battery Mobile Speakers The optional MSL-100 External Speaker includes its own swivel-type mounting bracket, and is available from your Yaesu dealer. Other external speakers may be used with the FT-1802M, if they present the specified 4-Ohm impedance and are capable of handling the 3 Watts of audio output supplied by the FT-1802M. 8 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL INSTALLATION BASE STATION INSTALLATION The FT-1802M is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The FT-
1802M is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the information to follow as a reference. AC Power Supplies Operation of the FT-1802M from an AC line requires a power source capable of providing at least 15 Amps continuously at 13.8 Volts DC. The FP-1023 and FP-1030A AC Power Supplies are available from your Yaesu dealer to satisfy these requirements. Other well-
regulated power supplies may be used, as well, if they meet the above voltage and current specifications. Use the DC power cable supplied with your transceiver for making power connections to the power supply. Connect the RED power cable lead to the POSITIVE (+) power supply terminal, and connect the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE () power supply terminal.

Radio, and Ill be helping you along as you learn the many features of the FT-1802M. I know youre anxious to get on the air, but I encourage you to read Basic Operation section of this manual as thoroughly as possible, so youll get the most out of this fantastic new transceiver. Now. lets get operating!
TURNING THE TRANSCEIVER ON AND OFF 1. To turn the transceiver on, press and hold in the PWR key for one second. When you turn on the FT-1802M, the current DC supply voltage is indicated on the LCD for 2 seconds. After this interval, the display will switch its normal indication of the operating frequency. 2. To turn the transceiver off, again press and hold in the PWR key for one second. You can change the Opening Message (DC supply voltage indication) to any de-
sired message (up to 6 characters) via Set Mode Item 31 OPN.MSG; see page
?? for details. ADJUSTING THE AUDIO VOLUME LEVEL Rotate the VOL control to adjust the receiver volume. Clock-
wise rotation increases the audio output level. ADJUSTING THE SQUELCH SETTING Rotate the SQL control just to the point where the noise is silenced and the indicator on the display turns off. If the SQL control is set further clockwise, sensitivity to weak signals is reduced. A special RF Squelch feature is provided on this radio. This feature allows you to set the squelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter level will open the squelch. See page 20 for details 14 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL BASIC OPERATION FREQUENCY NAVIGATION 1) Tuning Dial Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL knob causes the FT-1802M to be tuned toward a higher frequency, while counter-clock-
wise rotation will lower the operating frequency. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob, to change the frequency steps to 1 MHz per step. This feature is extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the FT-1802M. Instead of pressing the [MHz(SET)] button, you may also press the [A] key on the Microphones keypad to engage tuning in 1 MHz steps. 2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry The keypad of the MH-48A6J DTMF Microphone may be used for direct entry of the oper-
ating frequency. To enter a frequency from the MH-48A6J keypad, just press the numbered digits in the proper sequence. There is no decimal point key on the MH-48A6J keypad. However, there is a short-cut for frequencies ending in zero: press the [#] key after the last non-zero digit. Examples: To enter 146.520 MHz, press [1] [4] [6] [5] [2] [0]
To enter 146.000 MHz, press [1] [4] [6] [#]
If you cannot get the radio to accept the frequency entry, it is possible that the channel steps are set to an incompatible value (e.g. if you have 25 kHz steps set, you cannot set a frequency of 146.520 MHz). See page 19 to learn how to change the channel step size. 3) Scanning From the VFO mode, press the microphones [UP]/[DWN] keys momentarily to initiate scanning toward a higher- or lower frequency, respectively. The FT-1802M will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through the squelch threshold. The FT-1802M will then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the Resume mode (Menu 23 SCAN); see page 34). If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency, instead of a higher frequency), just rotate the DIAL knob one click in the counter-clockwise direction while the FT-1802M is scanning. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert to scanning toward a higher frequency once more, rotate the DIAL knob one click clockwise. Press the [UP]/[DWN] keys again to cancel scanning. You may also press the PTT button momentarily; scanning will stop, but you will not transmit until you release the PTT button, and press it again. If you have enabled the Severe Weather Alert feature, you will occasionally no-
tice WX channels interspersed with the regular channels you are scanning. This is normal, because your radio is constantly monitoring for weather alerts. See page 17. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 15 BASIC OPERATION TRANSMISSION To transmit, simply close the PTT (Push To Talk) switch on the microphone when the fre-
quency is clear. Hold the microphone approximately 1 (25 mm) from your mouth, and speak into the microphone in a normal voice level. When your transmission is complete, release the PTT switch; the transceiver will revert to the receive mode. During transmission, the indicator will appear at the upper left corner on the display. Changing the Transmitter Power Level You can select from among a total of four transmit power levels on your FT-1802M. To change the power level, press the [LOW(A/N)] key (or the microphones [C] key to select one of four power settings. These power levels will be stored, in memory registers, at the time of memory storage (see page 30 for details on Memory operation).

Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select a comfortable brightness level (0 - 10). 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and exit to normal operation. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 19 ADVANCED OPERATION RF SQUELCH A special RF Squelch feature is provided on this radio. This feature allows you to set the squelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter level will open the squelch. To set up the RF squelch circuit for operation, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 42 RF SQL. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired signal strength level for the squelch threshold (S1 - S9 or OFF). 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and exit to normal operation. The receivers squelch will open based on the highest level set by the two squelch system Noise Squelch and RF Squelch). For example:
1) If the Noise Squelch (SQL control) is set so that signals at a level of S-3 will open the squelch, but the RF Squelch (Menu #20) is set to S-9, the squelch will only open on signals which are S-9 or stronger on the S-meter. 2) If the RF Squelch is set to S-3, but the Noise Squelch is set to a high level which will only pass signals which are Full Scale on the S-meter, the squelch will only open on signals which are Full Scale on the S-meter. In this case, the Noise Squelch overrides the action of the RF Squelch. 20 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL REPEATER OPERATION The FT-1802M includes a host of convenience features which makes operation on amateur repeaters both efficient and enjoyable. This transceiver offers three methods of setting up split-frequency operation on repeaters:
Manual selection of preset repeater shifts (Standard Repeater Shift);
Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), providing automatic activation of repeater shifts during designated repeater frequency subbands; and
Independently stored transmit and receive frequencies (typically not corresponding to established repeater frequency shifts). To activate the standard shift manually, you may use the Set (Menu) mode:
STANDARD REPEATER SHIFT 1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 43 RPTR. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired shift direc-
tion (RPT, +RPT, or SIMP). 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and exit to normal operation. You also may program one of the Microphones programmable keys ([P1] ~ [P4]) to allow quick access to the above procedure. See page 45 for details on the setup of the programmable keys. With repeater shift activated, you can temporarily reverse the transmit and receive frequen-
cies by pressing the [REV(DW)] key (or microphones [B] key). Use this feature to display the transmit frequency without transmitting, and to check the strength of signals on a re-
peater uplink frequency (so as to determine whether or not a particular station is within Simplex range, for example). The repeater offset is fixed to 600 kHz from the factory. You can change the offset by the following procedure, if needed for vacation travel or other purposes:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 46 SHIFT. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired offset. Note that the resolution of the standard repeater shift is to the nearest 50 kHz multiple. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and exit to normal operation. Do not use this procedure for programming of an odd split type repeater pair!
The process for programming odd splits is shown on page 23. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 21 REPEATER OPERATION AUTOMATIC REPEATER SHIFT The ARS (Automatic Repeater Shift) feature in this transceiver allows easy and convenient repeater operation by automatically activating the repeater shift function whenever you tune to a standard repeater subband. The ARS function is preset at the factory to conform to the standards for the country to which it is exported. The ARS function is enabled at the factory. To disable it:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 04 ARS. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to change the display to OFF. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save your new setting and exit to normal operation. To enable the ARS function again, select to ON in step 2 above. ARS-Repeater Subbands 145.1 145.5 146.0 Version A 146.4 147.0 147.6 148.0 146.6 147.4 145.6 145.8 European Version 22 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL REPEATER OPERATION SEPARATE TRANSMIT FREQUENCY MEMORIES (ODD SPLITS) All memory channels can store independent receive and transmit frequencies, to accommo-
date occasional non-standard offsets with greater frequency resolution than is available us-
ing the standard shift feature. 1. First store the receive (repeater output) frequency. In the VFO mode, tune the transceiver to the desired receive frequency. Now press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key on the front panel for one second. 2. Within five seconds of pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key, use the DIAL knob or microphones
[UP]/[DWN] buttons to select the desired memory channel into which you wish to store this frequency pair. 3. Now press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily to store the receive frequency into the selected memory. 4. Next store the transmit (repeater input) frequency. Since you are still in the VFO mode, tune the transceiver to the desired transmit frequency. 5. Now press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second. 6. Press and hold in the PTT switch, and press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily while holding in the PTT switch. This will not cause transmission, but rather it will instruct the transceiver that you are programming a separate transmit frequency into memory. When you have finished the above procedure, press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily. The channel number and repeater downlink frequency will appear on the display. If you press the PTT switch, you will observe the display changing to indicate the repeaters uplink frequency. Note also that the display shows in the upper left-hand corner; this indi-
cates that an odd (non-standard) shift has been stored on this channel. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 23 CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATION CTCSS OPERATION Many repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed on your FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of the repeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. This tone system, called CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System), is included in your FT-1802M, and is very easy to activate. CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and then setting of the Tone Frequency. These actions are set up by using the Set (Menu) mode, selec-
tions #49 (SQ TYP) and #52 (TN FRQ). 1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 49 SQ TYP. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob so that TONE appears on the display; this activates the CTCSS Encoder, which allows repeater access. 3. Rotating the DIAL knob one more click clockwise in the above step will cause TSQL to appear. When TSQL appears, this means that the Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FT-1802Ms receiver until it receives a call from another radio send-
ing out a matching CTCSS tone. This can help keep your radio quiet until a specific call is received, which may be helpful while operating in congested areas. 1) You may notice a RV TN indication on the display while you rotate the DIAL knob in this step; this means that the Reverse Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FT-1802Ms receiver (instead of opening the squelch) when it receives a call from the radio sending a matched CTCSS tone. The T SQ icon will blink on the display when the Reverse Tone Squelch system is activated. 2) You may notice a DCS indication on the display while you rotate the DIAL knob still more. Well discuss the Digital Code Squelch system shortly. 4. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press the [MHz(SET)]
key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob one click counter-clockwise to select Menu 52 TN FRQ. This Menu selection allows setting of the CTCSS tone frequency to be used. 5. Press the [MHz(SET)] key to enable adjust-
CTCSS TONE FREQUENCY (Hz) ment of the CTCSS frequency. 6. Rotate the DIAL knob until the display indi-
cates the Tone Frequency you need to be us-
ing. 7. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 67.0 69.3 71.9 74.4 77.0 79.7 82.5 85.4 88.5 91.5 94.8 97.4 100.0 103.5 107.2 110.9 114.8 118.8 123.0 127.3 131.8 136.5 141.3 146.2 151.4 156.7 159.8 162.2 165.5 167.9 171.3 173.8 177.3 179.9 183.5 186.2 189.9 192.8 196.6 199.5 203.5 206.5 210.7 218.1 225.7 229.1 233.6 241.8 250.3 254.1 24 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATION CTCSS OPERATION Your repeater may or may not re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some systems just use CTCSS to control access to the repeater, but dont pass it along when transmit-
ting. If the S-Meter deflects, but the FT-1802M is not passing audio, repeat steps 1 through 3 above, but rotate the DIAL knob so that T ENC appears - this will allow you to hear all traffic on the channel being received. You may use the Menu to re-program one of the Microphones programmable keys for quick access to Menu #52 (TN FRQ), from which you can perform the above setup pro-
cedure. See page 45 for details on the setup of the programmable keys. DCS OPERATION Another form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than does CTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-1802M, and operation is very similar 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 transceivers equipped with this advanced feature. Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and that you select a Tone Code. 1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 49 SQ TYP. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob until DCS appears on the dis-
play; this activates the DCS Encoder/Decoder. 3. Now press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu 14 DCS CD. 4. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to enable the adjustment of the DCS code. 5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired DCS Code (a three-digit number). 6. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. DCS CODE 023 025 026 031 032 036 043 047 051 053 054 065 071 072 073 074 114 115 116 122 125 131 132 134 143 145 152 155 156 162 165 172 174 205 212 223 225 226 243 244 245 246 251 252 255 261 263 265 266 271 274 306 311 315 325 331 332 343 346 351 356 364 365 371 411 412 413 423 431 432 445 446 452 454 455 462 464 465 466 503 Remember that the DCS is an Encode/
Decode system, so your receiver will re-
main muted until a matching DCS code is re-
ceived on an incoming transmission. Switch the DCS off when youre just tuning around the band!

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 or DCS code; you may have to listen to the station(s) transmitting on the repeater uplink (input) frequency in order to allow Tone Search Scanning 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, TSQ will appear on the display; in the case of DCS, DCS will appear on the display. 2. Press the Microphones [P3] key momentarily to start scanning for the incoming CTCSS or DCS tone/code. 3. When the radio detects the correct tone or code, it will halt on that tone/code, and audio will be allowed to pass. 4. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to lock in that tone/code and exit to normal operation. If the Tone Scan feature does not detect a tone or code, it will continue to scan indefinitely. When this happens, it may be that the other station is not sending any tone. You can press the Microphones [P3] key to halt the scan at any time. You may listen to the (muted) signal from the other station during Tone Scanning when Set Mode Item 54 TS MUT is set to OFF. See page ?? for details. You can also change the Tone Search scanning speed, using Set Mode Item 55 TS SPD. See page ?? for details. Tone Scanning works either in the VFO or Memory modes. 26 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATION EPCS (ENHANCED PAGING & CODE SQUELCH) OPERATION The FT-1802M includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone encoder/decoder and a dedicated micro-
processor providing paging and selective calling features. This allows you to place a call to a specific station (Paging), and to receive calls of your choice directed only to you (Code Squelch). The paging and code squelch systems use two pairs of (alternately switched) CTCSS tones which are stored in the pager memories. Basically, your receiver remains silent until it re-
ceives the CTCSS tone pair that matches those stored in the Receiving Pager Memory. The squelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer immediately sounds, if activated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair which is stored in the Transmitting Pager Memory will be transmitted automatically. On the paged radio, the squelch will close automatically after the incoming page ends. Storing the CTCSS Tone Pairs for EPCS Operation 1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select 34 PAG.CDR for the Receiving CTCSS Tone Pair or 35 PAG.CDT34 for the Transmitting CTCSS Tone Pair. 3. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item. 4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSS Tone number which corresponds to the first tone of the CTCSS Tone Pair. 5. Press the [REV(DW)] or [LOW(A/N)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSS Tone number which corresponds to the second tone of the CTCSS Tone Pair. 6. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to lock in that tone/code and exit to normal operation. The FT-1802M does not recognize the order of the 1st tone and the 2nd tone. In other words, for example, the FT-1802M considers both CTCSS pairs 10, 35 and 35, 10 to be identical.

ing the DIAL knob to select OFF in step 2 above. When the Enhanced Paging & Code Squelch feature is activated, the Pnotation will ap-
pear at the 100 MHz digit of the frequency display. Paging Anser Back When you press the PTT switch to respond to a page call, the FT-1802M transmits the Tranmitting CTCSS Tone pair. This tone pair will open the Code Squelch of the calling station. If you prefer, you can have the FT-1802M respond to page calls automatically
(transpond). To enable this feature:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 33 PAG.ABK. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set this Menu item to ON. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 4. To disable the Paging Anser Back feature, just repeat the above procedure, rotating the DIAL knob to select OFF in step 2 above. 28 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATION CTCSS/DCS/EPCS BELL OPERATION During CTCSS Decode, DCS, or EPCS operation, you may set up the FT-1802M such that a ringing bell sound alerts you to the fact that a call is coming in. Here is the procedure for activating the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell:
1. Set the transceiver up for CTCSS Decode (Tone Squelch), DCS, or EPCS operation, as described previously. 2. Adjust the operating frequency to the desired channel. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 7 BELL. 4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired number of rings of the Bell. The available choices are 1, 3, 5, or 8 rings, CNTNUE (continuous ringing), or OFF. 5. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. When you are called by a station whose transceiver is sending a CTCSS tone, DCS code, or CTCSS code pair which matches that set into your Decoder, the Bell will ring in accordance with this programming. When the CTCSS/DCS/EPCS Bell is activeted, the icon will appear on the display. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 29 CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATION SPLIT TONE OPERATION The FT-1802M can be operated in a Split Tone configuration, to enable operation on repeaters using a mix of both CTCSS and DCS control via the Set mode. 1.

FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 33 MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY STORAGE A wide array of memory resources are available on the FT-1802M. A total of 221 memories are available, and each may be appended with an alpha-numeric label of up to six characters, for quick channel recognition. The basic memory bank for the FT-1802M consists of 200 memories. Lets learn the simple procedure for storing and recalling a frequency, then we can move on to some of the more advanced memory features. To store a frequency into memory:
1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency, repeater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and TX power level. 2. Press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second. A memory number will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the display. If the channel number is blinking, there currently is no data stored on that channel; if the channel number is not blinking, that channel is currently occupied by other frequency data, and you wont want to use that channel unless the data is no longer of interest. 3. Within five seconds of pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key, use the DIAL knob to select the desired memory into which you wish to store the frequency. 4. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key again, this time momentarily, to store the displayed data into the selected memory channel slot. The memory label will disappear (since you are still operating in the VFO mode). 5. To store other frequencies, repeat steps 1 through 4, remembering to set the repeater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, and TX power level, as appropriate. The above procedure will be used for virtually all memory storage circumstances. If you need to program a frequency pair that uses a non-standard shift (odd split), use the procedure described on page 23. 34 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY RECALL Once you have stored the memory or memories desired, you must now switch from the VFO mode to the Memory Recall mode, so you can operate on the just-stored memory channels. 1. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key, repeatedly if necessary, until the MR icon and a memory channel number appear on the display; this indicates that the Memory Recall mode is now engaged. 2. When more than one memory has been stored, use the DIAL knob to select any pf the programmed memories for operation. Alternatively, the microphones [UP] or [DWN]
button may be used to step or scan through the available memories. When using the microphones buttons, press the button momentarily to move one step up or down; press and hold in the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second to begin memory scanning. Memory Recall from the Microphones Keypad:
While operating in the Memory Recall mode, the keypad of the MH-48A6J Microphone may be used for direct recall of memory channels. To do this, press the Channel Number you wish to recall, then press the [#] key. For ex-
ample, to recall Memory Channel 5, press [5] []. To recall Memory Channel 118, press [1] [1] [8]. You may also recall Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) channels (L0/U0 through L9/
U9.) using the following numbers: Programmable Memory channels #L0 = 200, U0 =
201, L9 = 218, and U9 = 219. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 35 MEMORY OPERATION LABELING MEMORIES You may wish to append an alpha-numeric Tag (label) to a memory or memories, to aid in recollection of the channels use (such as club name, etc.). This is easily accomplished using the Set (Menu) mode. 1. Recall the memory channel on which you wish to append a label. 2. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 30 MN SET. 3. Press the [MHz(SET)] key. You will notice the first character location blinking, indicat-
ing that you are now in the Alpha-Numeric (A/N) entry mode. Within the A/N entry mode, rotate the DIAL knob to select characters; pressing the [LOW(A/N)] key will move the characters entry location to the right. 4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired number, letter, or symbol, then press the
[LOW(A/N)] key to move the next characters location. Move two slots if you want to put in a space. 5. Repeat step 4, as necessary, to complete the name tag (up to six characters) for your memory, then press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to save the A/N name just entered. 6. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to exit to normal operation. While operating in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold in the [LOW(A/N)] key for one second to toggle the display between indication of the frequency and the channels Alpha/
Numeric label. 36 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY TUNING Once you have recalled a particular memory channel, you may easily tune off that channel, as though you were in the VFO mode. 1. With the FT-1802M in the Memory Recall mode, select the desired memory channel. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily. The MR indicator will blink and disapper the Memory Channel Number; these indicates that the Memory Tuning mode has been engaged. 3. Rotate the DIAL knob, or press the [UP] or [DWN] keys, to tune to a new frequency. The synthesizer steps you have selected for VFO operation will be the steps used during Memory Tuning. 4. If you wish to return to the original memory frequency, press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily. The MR indicator will stop blinking and the Memory Channel Number will be appears. 5. If you wish to store into memory a new frequency set during Memory Tuning, just press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second, then complete the normal memory storage procedure. Be sure to select an open memory channel when doing so. MASKING MEMORIES There may be situations where you want to Mask memories so they are not visible during memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city you visit infrequently may be stored, then Masked until you visit that city, at which time you can Unmask them for normal use. (except the Memory Channel 0, Priority Channel, and Home Channel). 1. With the FT-1802M in the Memory Recall mode, press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)]

vious data, if youre not careful. Use the next available memory technique (look for the blinking memory channel number) storage technique to avoid over-writing a masked memory. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 37 MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY BANK OPERATION The large number of memories available in the FT-1802M could be difficult to utilize with-
out some means of organizing them. Fortunately, the FT-1802M includes provision for dividing the memories into as many as eight Memory Banks, so you can categorize the memories in a manner convenient to you. You may enter and exit the Memory Bank mode by a single press of the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key, as we shall see below. Assigning Memories to a Memory Bank 1. Recall the memory channel to be assigned to a Memory Bank. 2. Press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Bank number (b1 ~ b8) you want as the Memory Bank for this channel. 3. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily to copy the memory channel data into the Memory Bank. 1) You may assign one memory channel into several Memory Banks. 2) The PMS memory channels (L1/U1 through L50/U50) may not be assigned to a Memory Bank. Memory Bank Recall 1. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key, if needed, to enter the Memory mode. 2. Press the Microphones [] key to activate the Memory Bank mode. The Memory Bank number will appear on the display. 3. Press the [#] key to increment the Memory Bank (b1 through b8). 4.

When you have programmed a name which is under 6 characters, press and hold in the
[MHz(SET)] key for one second to confirm the label and exit to normal operation. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 39 MEMORY OPERATION HOME CHANNEL MEMORY A Convenient one-touch Home channel memory is available to simplify return to your most-often-used frequency. This memory does not appear in the regular memory bank, to simplify operation and speed recall of this important channel. To recall the Home channel, just press the [D/MR(MW)] key, repeatedly if necessary, until the HM icon appears on the display; this indicates that the Home Channel has been re-
called. The factory default frequency for the Home channel is 146.520 MHz (USA version, EXP version: 144.000 MHz). You can re-program the Home channel in a manner identical to that used for the regular memories:
1. From the VFO mode, tune in the frequency you wish to store, and set all repeater shifts and other data just the way you do for normal memory channel storage. 2. Press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second, then press the [REV(DW)] key to store the displayed data into the Home channel. The memory label will disappear
(since you are still operating in the VFO mode). You may also append an alpha-numeric Tag (label) to a Home channel, as described pre-
viously. be sure to recall the Home channel first, then enter the Menu (selection 30 NM SET) to program the labels contents. From the Home channel, you may tune off (as in the Memory Tune mode) with-
out doing anything more than rotating the main DIAL knob. This automatically shifts control to the VFO, making it a good idea to program in your areas Calling Frequency as the Home channel. Once contact is established, you may then tune off the Calling Frequency to an open simplex frequency to carry on your QSO. 40 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL MEMORY OPERATION MEMORY-ONLY MODE Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a Memory Only mode, whereby VFO and Home Channel operation are impossible. This may be particularly useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired. To place the radio into the Memory Only mode, turn it off. Now press and hold in the [D/
MR(MW)] key while turning the radio on. The VFO and Home Channel will now be dis-
abled. To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on procedure. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 41 SCANNING The FT-1802Ms scanning capability provides the operator with many convenient methods of rapid frequency navigation. BASIC SCANNER OPERATION Before activating the scanner, make sure that the Squelch is set to silence the background noise when no signal is present. Scanning is not possible while the Squelch is open (if noise or signals are being heard). Scanning may be started or stopped using the microphones [UP] or [DWN] button. The following techniques are used for scanning:
Pressing and holding in either the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second in the VFO mode will cause upward or downward band scanning, respectively, to begin.
Pressing and holding in either the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second in the Memory mode will cause memory channel scanning toward a higher- or lower-numbered memory channel, respectively.
Scanning pauses when a signal opens the squelch, and the decimal point on the display will blink. You can choose one of three scan-resume modes (described later).
To halt the scan manually, the easiest way is to push the PTT switch on the microphone momentarily (no transmission will occur while you are scanning). The scan may also be halted manually by pressing the microphones [UP] or [DWN] button, or the [D/
MR(MW)] key. In the factory default setting, the scanner sweep all frequencies while the VFO mode and all memory channels while the Memory mode. You may change the sweep range of the VFO mode to }1 MHz, }2 MHz, or }5 MHz, and sweeps only those Memory Channels with the same "first" digit of the alpha/numeric tag or same
"first" and "second" digits of the alpha/numeric tag as the first channel on which scan-
ning started. 42 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING Three scan-resume modes are available on the FT-1802M:
SCAN-RESUME OPTIONS
In the BUSY mode, the scanner will remain halted for as long as there is carrier present on the channel; after the carrier drops at the end of the other stations transmission, scanning will resume.
In the HOLD mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not restart automatically; you must manually re-initiate scanning if you wish to resume.
In the 3SEC/5SEC/10SEC mode, the scanner will halt for selected resume time, after which scanning will resume (whether or not the other station is still transmitting). The default scan-stop mode is BUSY. To change the scan-resume mode, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 41 RESUME. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired scan-resume mode. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 43 SCANNING MEMORY SKIP SCANNING When you have some continuously-active channels in memories, you may wish to skip them for scanning, but still have them available for manual selection. To mask a memory to be skipped during scanning, use the following procedure:
1. Set the radio to Memory Recall mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key repeatedly, as necessary, until MR and a channel number appear on the right side of the display. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel to be skipped during scanning. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 47 SKIP. 4. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob so as to select SKIP. The cur-
rent Memory Channel will now be ignored during scanning. The ONLY selection is used for Preferential Memory Scan, described in the next section. 5. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. A SKIP icon will appear when you recall the skipped memory channel manually. To re-institute a channel into the scanning loop, select OFF in step 4 above, after first recalling the currently-blocked channel (the Skipped channel is accessible via manual channel selection methods using the DIAL knob in the Memory mode, whether or not it is locked out of the scanning loop). 44 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING PREFERENTIAL MEMORY SCAN The FT-1802M also allows you to set up a Preferential Scan List of channels which you can flag within the memory system. These channels are designated by a blinking SKIP icon when you have selected them, one by one, for the Preferential Scan List. When you initiate memory scanning, beginning on a channel with the Blinking SKIP icon appended, only those channels bearing the Blinking SKIP icon will be scanned. If you initiate scanning on a channel which does not have the Blinking SKIP icon appended, you will scan all channels including those with the Blinking SKIP icon appended. Here is the procedure for setting up and using the Preferential Scan List:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key repeatedly, if necessary. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Memory Channel which you wish to add to the Preferential Scan List. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 47 SKIP. 4. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob so as to select ONLY. 5. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. To initiate Preferential Memory Scanning:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key repeatedly, if necessary. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select any memory channel which has a Blinking SKIP icon appended to the channel number. 3. Press and hold either the microphones [UP] or [DWN] button for one second to initiate Preferential Memory Scanning. Only the channels which have a Blinking SKIP icon appended to the channel number will be scanned. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 45 SCANNING MEMORY BANK LINK SCAN When the Memory Bank feature is engaged, the scanner sweeps only memory channels in the current Memory Bank. However, if the Memory Bank Link Scan feature is enabled, you may sweep the memory channels in several Memory Banks which you have selected. To enable the Memory Bank Link Scan feature:
1. Set the radio to the Memory mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key, if necessary. 2. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 8 BNK.LNK. 3. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the first Memory Bank (b1 ~ b8) you wish to sweep using Memory Bank Link Scan. 4. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily. A SKIP icon will appear at the above the Memory Bank number, indicating this Memory Bank will now be swept during Memory Bank Scan. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 above, to append the SKIP icon to any other Memory Banks you wish to sweep. 6. Now, press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to initiate the Memory Bank Link Scan. 7. To remove a Memory Bank from the Memory Bank Link Scan, repeat steps 2 - 4 above, to delete the SKIP icon from the Memory Bank number indication. PROGRAMMABLE BAND-SCAN LIMITS Besides band and memory scanning, this transceiver can be set to tune or scan only the frequencies between user-defined lower and upper limits. For example, you may wish to limit tuning/scanning to 144.3 - 148.0 MHz, to avoid encroachment on the SSB/CW sub-
band between 144.0 and 144.3 MHz These scanning limits are stored in special Sub-Band Limit Memories, labeled L0/U0 through L9/U9, with L and U designations representing the Lower and Upper limits, respectively. To utilize this feature, use the following steps:
1. Store the lower edge of the desired scanning/tuning range in memory L0, and the upper edge in memory U0 (or, alternatively, in memories L1/U1 through L9/U9). 2. With any of these memories recalled, press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to acti-
vate the Programmable Band-Scan Limits. The PMS icon will appear. Tuning and scanning will now be limited within the just-programmed range. To cancel the Sub-Band Limits and return to normal memory operation, press the [D/
MR(MW)] key momentarily. 46 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL SCANNING PRIORITY CHANNEL SCANNING (DUAL WATCH) The FT-1802Ms scanning features include a two-channel scanning capability which allows you to operate on a VFO, Memory channel, or Home channel, while periodically checking a user-defined Memory Channel for activity. If a station is received on the Memory Channel which is strong enough to open the Squelch, the scanner will pause on that station in accor-
dance with the Scan-Resume mode set via Menu mode 41 RESUME. See page 34. Here is the procedure for activating Priority Channel Dual Watch operation:
1. Set the radio to the Memory Recall mode by pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key repeatedly, if necessary. 2. Press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second (the Memory Channel number will blink), then select the memory channel you wish to be the Priority channel. 3. Press the [
] key momentarily.The PRI icon will appear to the upper right corner on the display; indicating it is the Priority channel. 4. Now set the FT-1802M for operation on another memory channel, Home channel, or on a VFO frequency. 5. Press and hold in the [REV(DW)] key for one second. The display will remain on the VFO, selected memory channel, or Home channel, but every five seconds the FT-1802M will check the Priority Channel for activity. 6. To cancel Dual Watch operation, press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily. Priority Revert Mode During Priority channel operation (Dual Watch), a special feature is available which will allow you to move to the Priority Channel instantly, without waiting for activity to appear on the Priority Channel. When this feature is enabled, and priority monitoring is engaged, just press the microphones PTT switch. Operation will instantly revert to the Priority Channel. To enable Priority Revert operation:
1. Press and hold the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 44 RVRT. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select ON. 3. Press and hold the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. To disable Priority Revert operation, select OFF in step 2 above. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 47 SCANNING WEATHER ALERT SCAN This feature allows you to check the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels for the presence of the NOAA Alert Tone while operating using VFO scan or Memory channel scan. When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the FT-1802M will check the Weather Broadcast Memory Channels for activity every five seconds while scanning. If you watch the display carefully, youll observe the scanner periodically shifting to the Weather Broad-
cast bank, scanning the Weather channels quickly in search of the Alert Tone, after which regular scanning will resume for another five seconds. To enable the Weather Alert Scan feature:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 57 WX ALT. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set this Menu item to ON. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 4. To disable the Weather Alert Scan feature, select OFF in step 2 above. You can change the Weather Alert Tone volume level to maximum regardless the VOL knob setting, using Set Mode Item 58 WX VOL. See page ?? for details. 1) When the Weather Alert Scan feature is engaged, the Scan-Resume mode is fixed to HOLD. 2) If you are just scanning the Weather Broadcast Channels, the FT-1802Ms receiver will remain muted indefinitely unless the Alert Tone is received. This yields a long period of monitoring time, as no power will be consumed via audio output while scanning for the Alert Tone is in progress. BAND EDGE BEEPER The FT-1802M will automatically beep when the receivers band edge is encountered during scanning (either in standard VFO scanning or during PMS operation). You may ad-
ditionally enable this feature (band edge beeper) when the frequency reaches the band edge while selecting the VFO frequency manually, using the DIAL knob. The procedure for enabling the Band-Edge Beeper (during manual tuning) is:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 21 EDG.BEP. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set this Menu item to ON. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 48 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL SMART SEARCH OPERATION The Smart Search feature allows you to load frequencies automatically according to where activity is encountered by your radio. When Smart Search is engaged, the transceiver will search above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (with-
out stopping on them even momentarily); these frequencies are stored into a special Smart Search memory band, consisting of 31 memories (15 above the current frequency, 15 below the current frequency, plus the current frequency itself). Two basic operating modes for Smart Search are available:
SINGLE: In this mode, the transceiver will sweep the current band once in each direction starting on the current frequency. All channels where activity is present will be loaded into the Smart Search memories; whether or not all 31 memories are filled, the search will stop after one sweep in each direction. In this mode, the transceiver will make one pass in each direction as with One-Shot searching; if all 31 channels are not filled after the first sweep, however, the radio will continue sweeping until they are all filled. CONT:

defined period of PTT or key/button inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys or buttons, rotate the DIAL knob, use the microphones keys and buttons, or transmit, and so long as the transceiver is not scanning or engaged in priority monitoring, the radio will shut itself off after the specified time period. The available selections for the time before power-
off are 0.5/1/3/5/8 hours, as well as APO Off. This feature is useful in minimizing battery drain in a mobile installation if you forget to turn the transceiver off when you leave your vehicle. To activate the APO feature:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 1 APO. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired switch-off time or OFF. 3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 56 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS BUSY CHANNEL LOCK-OUT (BCLO) The BCLO feature prevents the radios transmitter from being activated if a signal strong enough to break through the noise squelch is present. On a frequency where stations using different CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting their communications accidentally (because your radio may be muted by its own Tone Decoder). The default setting for the BCLO is OFF, and here is how to change that setting:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 5 BCLO. 3. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to enable adjustment of this Set Mode Item. 4. Rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to ON (thus activating the BCLO feature). 5. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. Remember that BCLO is controlled by the Noise Squelch; if you have DCS or TSQ en-
gaged, BCLO will inhibit transmission if a station is on frequency but not transmitting the proper tone; BCLO will thus prevent you from interfering with the other station's transmission. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 57 MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS PROGRAMMING THE KEY ASSIGNMENTS Default FT-1802M key functions have been assigned to the Microphones [P1]/[P2]/[P3]/
[P4] buttons at the factory. These may be changed by the user, if you wish to assign quick access to another function. To change the assignments for the programmable keys:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the Menu Item to be configured (36 PRG P1, 37 PRG P2, 38 PRG P3, or 39 PRG P4). 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the function you wish to Engages the ARTS operation. assign to the button you selected in the previous step. The available choices are:
ARTS:
SQLOFF: Opens the Squelch to allow un-muted reception. WX CH: Switches operation to the Weather channels bank. S SRCH: Engages the Smart Search operation. C SRCH: Engages the Tone Search Scanning feature. SCAN: Engages the Scan operation T CALL: Activates 1750 Hz Tone Burst 3. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then rotate the DIAL knob to select another programmable button to modify, if desired, and repeat the above steps. 4. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to exit to normal operation. You may assigne the Set Mode item to the Microphones [P1]/[P2]/[P3]/[P4] buttons, as well, to do this:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item which you wish to assign to the key as a Menu short-cut. 3. Press and hold in the Microphones [P1], [P2], [P3], or [P4] button for one second to assign the Set Mode Item to the [P1], [P2], [P3], or [P4] button. 4. Now you can recall this preferred Set Mode Item by simply pressing the Microphones button momentarily. 58 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS CHANGING THE TX DEVIATION LEVEL You can reduce the microphone input level when operating on tightly-clustered frequencies
(channel spacing of 12.5 or 15 kHz). This will reduce the transmitter deviation, thus mini-
mizing interference to other users. To configure for the narrower bandwidth, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 59 W/N DV. 2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to change the display to NAR-
ROW. 3. Press and hold the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 4. To return to wide deviation, repeat the above procedure, selecting WIDE in step 2 above. In some instances of erratic or unpredictable operation, the cause may be corruption of data in the microprocessor (due to static electricity, etc.). If this happens, resetting of the micro-
processor may restore normal operation. Note that all memories will be erased if you do a complete microprocessor reset, as described below. FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 59 MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGS DCS CODE INVERSION The 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 proprietary names, 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 of 134.4 bps (bit/sec). Occasionally, signal inversion can result in the complement of a code to be sent or received. This prevents the receivers squelch from opening with DCS enabled, as the decoded bit sequence would not match that selected for operation. Typical situations that might 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 defective!
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 stages may 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 both you and the other station are using a common DCS code, you or the other station (but not both) can try the following:
1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select 15 DCS RV. 3. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set Mode Item to ENABLE (thus inverting the DCS Code). 4. When you have made your selection, press and hold the [MHz(SET)] key for one sec-
ond to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. 5. Remember to restore the default setting to DISABLE when done. 60 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL RESET PROCEDURE MICROPROCESSOR RESETTING To clear all memories and other settings to factory defaults:
1. Turn the radio off. 2. Press and hold in the [REV(DW)], [LOW(A/N)], and [D/MR(MW)] keys while turning the radio on. The ALL RESET PUSH D/MR KEY notation will scroll on the display. 3. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily to reset all settings to their factory defaults
(press any other key to cancel the Reset procedure). SET MODE RESETTING To reset the Set (Menu) mode settings to their factory defaults, while leaving other settings unchanged:
1. Turn the radio off. 2. Press and hold in the [LOW(A/N)] and [D/MR(MW)] keys while turning the radio on. The SET MODE RESET PUSH D/MR KEY notation will scroll on the display. 3. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily to reset the Set (Menu) mode settings to their factory defaults (press any other key to cancel the Reset procedure). FT-1802M OPERATING MANUAL 61 CLONING The FT-1802M includes a convenient Clone feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another FT-1802M. This can be particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radios data to another:
1. Turn both radios off. 2. Connect the user-constructed cloning cable between the MIC jacks of the two radios. 3. Press and hold in the [LOW(A/N)] key while turning the radios on. Do this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not matter). CLONE will appear on the displays of both radios when the Clone mode is successfully activated in this step. 4. On the Destination radio, press the [LOW(A/N)] key (- -WAITE- - will appear on the LCD). 5. Press the [MHz(SET)] key on the Source radio; - - - -TX- - - - will appear on the Source radio, and the data from this radio will be transferred to the other radio. 6. If there is a problem during the cloning process, ERROR will be displayed. Check your cable connections and battery voltage, and try again. 7. If the data transfer is successful, CLONE will appear on both displays. 8. Press any key to exit to normal operation. 9. Turn both radios off and disconnect the cloning cable.
