If your repeater uses a positive shift (instead of negative), press the [A(RPT)] key again; the +

ll FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL indicator will replace the - indicator on the display. 4. Set the FT-100s receiver to the repeater output (downlink) frequency. Close the PTT switch and speak into the microphone. You will observe that the transmitted frequency has shift according to the setting of the [A(RPT)] key. 6. Release the PTT switch to return to the receiver mode. CTCSS Tone Squelch Operation The CTCSS Tone Squelch operation is available to silently monitor for calls on busy channels, with your receiver's squelch only opening up when a signal bearing the matching CTCSS tone appears on your frequency. 1. Set the Encoder and Decoder Tone frequency via the Menu Item 6-6 (Decoder) and 6-7 (Encoder). 2. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 3, then press the

[C(TON)] key twice to activate the CTCSS Tone Squelch. The receiver will become silent, unless a station bearing a CTCSS tone matching that of your transceiver appears on frequency. When this happens, the squelch will open and normal reception will commence. 3. Press the [C(TON)] key once to cancel the CTCSS Tone Squelch. DSC Operation Another from of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, more advanced tone system that is less susceptible to false triggering than CTCSS. A DCS encoder/decoder is built into your FT-100, and operation is very similar to that just described for CTCSS. 1. Set the DCS code via the Menu Item 2-6. 2. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 4, then press the

[A(DCS)]} key to activate the DCS encoder/decoder. The receiver remains muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming signal. 3. Press the [A(DCS)] key once to cancel the DCS. ARTS Auto Range Transpond System This system uses DCS signaling to inform you when you and another ARTS-equipped station are within communications range. 1. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 4, then press the

[B(ART)] key to select desired current ARTS mode (RX:receive-only, TX:transmit-

Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 2, then press and hold the [C(QMB)] key for 1/2 second until the double beep is heard. The double beep provides audible confirmation that the memory storage was successful. 3. As you dial up other frequencies, repeating the procedure in, above causes the QMB memory system to cycle through the QMB channels in the following sequence:

Q-01 > Q-02 > Q-03 > ......(up to Q-10) Frequency data will be stored and purged on a first-in, first-out basis. QMB Channel Recall 1. Press the [C(QMB)] key momentarily to recall the currently active QMB channel. 2. Press the [C(QMB)] key repeatedly to cycle though the QMB channels, in the same sequence as shown for QMB Channel Storage. 3. While operating in the QMB Channel Recall mode, you are not fixed on the QMB channel; you may tune away from the QMB channel frequency, using the Main Tuning Dial, as though you were in the VFO mode. In this situation, the M-TUNE will be indicate in the display. To return to the originally-stored QMB channel, press the [C(QMB)] key once. Memory Operation on Regular Memory Channels (channel # 1-001 to 1-200) Memory Channel Storage 1. Tune in the desired frequency. and set the operating mode and bandwidth. 2. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 1, then press the

[A(V>M)] key momentarily to enter the Memory Check mode, which is used to find an unused memory channel. The frequency stored (if any) on the current memory channel will be shown in the display. 3. Use the SELECT knob to increment through the main channel bank. If you have restricted memory operation to one channel group, memory storage will similarly 13 FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL be limited to the currently-selected memory group; just press SELECT knob to allow unrestricted access to all memory channels for storage of your frequency data. When you have selected the channel location into which to store the frequency information, press and hold the [A(V>M)] key for 1/2 second, until you hear a double beep, which confirms that the frequency information was successfully stored. Memory Channel Recall 1. nN If you currently are in the VFO tuning mode, press the VFO/MR key once to enter the Memory mode (the MR icon will appear in the display). To select another memory channel, turn the SELECT knob. To restrict your memory channel selection just to one memory group, press the SELECT knob once. Now, only those channels within the current memory group will be available for recall via step 2. above. To change memory groups, press the SELECT knob again, then turn the SELECT knob to step through the channels until you enter another group. You may now press the SELECT knob again to restrict memory channel access to the newly-selected group. Once you are operating on a memory channel, you may tune off of the original frequency (as though you were in the VFO mode). Just rotate the MAIN DIAL Knob; the MR icon will be replaced by one which indicates M TUNE, indicating that you have now shifted into the Memory Tuning mode. When operating the Memory Tuning mode, if you find another frequency you wish to store into another memory channel, just press the [A] key momentarily, select a new memory channel via the SELECT knob, then press and hold the [A(V>M)] key for 1/2 second (until you hear the double beep). To exit the Memory Tuning mode, press the VFO/MR key as follows:

One touch of the VFO/MR key returns you to the original memory frequency. Asecond touch of the VFO/MR key will cause you to exit the Memory mode and return to the VFO mode (the MR indicator will be replaced by VFO-A or VFO-B). Memory Group Information The FT-100s main memory area may be divided into as many as eight groups. These groups may, in some instances, provide more efficient or intuitive memory operation. Once you have determined how many memories are to be designated in each group (see menu selection 0-1 ~ 0-8. you may restrict memory operation just to one group, or you 14 FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL may allow the memory channels to be selected without regard to memory group boundaries. The complete memory channel number is composed of two sets of numbers, separated by a hyphen. The single digit before the hyphen is the memory group number (1, 2, 3, seeeeeees 8). The second, two digit number is the channel number itself (1 to 200). Therefore, if channel #34 is assigned to group #1, its channel number is 1-34. If you have created eight channel banks of 24 ~ 25 channels each, channel #34 would be designated 2-34 since it falls within channel group #2. Memory Mode Accessories Moving Memory Data to VFO Data stored on memory channels can easily be moved to VFO, if you lke. 1. Select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be moved to VFO. 2. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 1, then press and hold the [B(M>V)] key for 1/2 second until you hear a double beep. The data will now have been copied to VFO, although the original memory contents will remain intact on the previously-stored channel. Deleting Data from a Memory Channel Frequency data stored on a memory channel can be deleted from a memory channel, if desired. The deletion process is not a hard erasure, so if you erase a channel by mistake using this procedure, the memory channel contents can be recovered. 1. Select the memory channel containing the frequency data to be deleted. 2. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 1, then press and hold the [A(V>M)] key for 1/2 second until you hear a double beep. At this point, the memorized frequency and other data will disappear. The data is now masked and will not be available for operation. 3. To restore the masked frequency data, repeat steps 1., and 2. Above. However, if you store new frequency information on a channel containing masked data, the masked data will be over-written and lost. Smart Search Operation The Smart Search automatically stores the frequencies where activity is encountered on the selected band. When Smart Search is engaged, the transceiver quickly searches FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL above and below your current frequency, storing active frequencies as it goes (without stopping on them even momentarily). These frequencies are stored in a special Smart Search memory bank, consisting of 50 memories (25 above the current frequency, 15 below the current frequency). i) Set the SQL knob to the point where background noise is silenced. A typical setting, for effective Smart Search operation, will be at 12 oclock or slightly clockwise from this position. Set the transceiver into the operating configuration in which you wish to search

(VFO, Memory, QMB, etc.). Press and hold the [SRCH] key for 1/2 second to activate Smart Search scanning. The transceiver sweeps the current band once in each direction starting on the current frequency. All channels where activity is present (up to 25 in each direction) are loaded into the Smart Search memories. Whether or not all 50 memories are filled, the search stops after one sweep in each direction. To recall Smart Search memories, press the [SRCH] key momentarily. Now you can turn the SELECT knob to select the Smart Search memories. Scanning Operation The FT-100 contains a wide variety of scanning capabilities. Whether you are in the VFO mode or one of the memory modes, scanning operation is fundamentally identical in all modes of operation, but with the following differences:

OQ Inthe VFO mode, scanning causes the transceiver to sweep up or down the band, pausing or halting on any signal encountered;

In the QMB mode, the scanner will scan only the QMB memory bank;

In the Memory mode, the scanner will scan the programmed memories, and can be instructed to skip certain memories during scanning;

Inthe Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) mode, the scanner will scan the band within user-programmed frequency limits. Scanning operation is easy to perform:

1. Set the SQL knob to the point where background noise is silenced. A typical setting, for effective scanning operation, will be at 12 o'clock or slightly clockwise from this position. 16 rn oa. FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL Set the transceiver into the operating configuration in which you wish to scan (VFO, Memory, QMB, etc.). Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 6, then press the

([BGCN)] key momentarily to start upward scan. Rotate the MAIN DIAL Knob counter clock wise to toggle scanning direction downward. Note: Press and hold either the microphones [UP] or [DWN] key for 1/2 second will cause upward or downward scanning, respectively, to begin. The scanner will now cause the transceiver to increment in the chosen direction until a signal is detected. When a signal is encountered which opens the Squelch, the scanner will pause until the signal disappears (at the end of the other stations transmission), at which point the scanner will resume. While the transceiver is in the Pause condition, the SCAN icon (located above the [B(SCN)] key) will blink. See Scan-Resume Choices for details of how to customize the resumption of scanning. Press PTT switch on the microphone to cannel scanning. Note: VFO scan speed is determined via the Menu Item 2-2, memory channel scan speed is determined via the Menu Item 2-1. Scan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only) Among the memories you have programmed, there may be some stations which you do not wish to scan. To remove a channel from the scanning loop:

1. 2. 3. Recall the memory channel to be skipped. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 2, then press the

[D(SKP)] key momentarily, the SKIP icon appears in the display; this shows that this channel is now not eligible for scanning. Repeat steps 1. and 2. as many times as necessary to skip all the channels you do not wish to scan. Initiate memory scanning, you will observe that the channels you marked to be skipped are not included in the scanning loop. Press the PTT switch to stop the scan; now use the SELECT 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. You may restore a previously-skipped channel to the scanning loop by selecting the channel manually; then press the [D(SKP)] key momentarily so that the SKIP FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL icon is disappears. Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) Operation To limit scanning (or tuning) to within a particular frequency range, you can use Programmed Memory Scanning (PMS) provided with nine special-purpose memories

(P1 ~ P9). First, store the upper and lower frequency limits of the range in a consecutive pair of PMS memories (i.e., P] & P2, P2 & P3, etc.). For example, P2 might contain the lower edge and P3 the upper. Next recall the first memory of the pair that hold the range you want to scan or tune, then turn the Main Tuning Knob to activate memory tuning (M-TUNE appears). Tuning and scanning are now within the limits of the selected PMS memory pair, keeping operation inside this programmed range. Example: Limit tuning & scanning to the 17-m band. 1. Press [VFO/MR] key as necessary, to recall the VFO mode. Tune to the low edge of the 17-m band: 18.068 MHz and select the desired mode (here, USB/CW). 2. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 1. Press the

[A(W>M)] key momentarily, then turn the SELECT knob to select the memory channel PI. 3. Press and hold the [A(V>M)| key for 1/2 second to write the VFO into P1. 4. Tune to the high edge of the 17-m band (18.168 MHz), then select the desired mode. 5. Press the [A(V>M)] key momentarily, then turn the SELECT knob to select the memory channel P2. 6. Press and hold the [A(V>M)] key for 1/2 second to write the VFO into P2. 7. Recall the memory channel P1, and turn the MAIN DIAL Knob to activate memory tuning. 8. Tuning and scanning are now limited to the 18.068- to 18.168-MHz range until you press [VFO/MR] key to return to memory channel operations. Scan-Resume Choices Scanning operation requires that you have the FT-100s 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, one of four things may happen:

OQ The default action is that the transceiver pauses on the signal and stays locked on its frequency for five seconds. Thereafter, scanning will resume whether or not the other stations transmission has ended. 18 FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL Q One of another option is that the scanner halt until the other stations transmission ceases (at which point the squelch will close). Five second after the squelch closes, scanning resumes automatically. The resumption interval is adjustable from 0 to 10 seconds via the Menu Item 2-4. OQ One of another option is that the scanner finds a signal, and lock on that frequency without resuming the scan at some point. The scanner can also be scanning slows down (but doesnt stop) for a five second , when activity is detected. The scan-resume choices may be selected via the Menu Item 2-0. Dual Watch Operation 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 the VFO-B for activity. 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 SQL control until the background noise is silenced. 3. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 6, then press the

[A(DAL)] key momentarily to activate Dual Watch. 4, Ifa station is detected on the VFO-B frequency, the FT-100 will pause on the VFO-

B frequency, and stay there according to the menu selections you made per the Scan-Resume Choices earlier. Press the [A(DAL)] key again to cancel Dual Watch. Note that pressing the PTT or switch on the microphone does not cannel Dual Watch operation. Priority Operation The Priority feature initiates a two frequency scanning process, whereby Memory Channel #1-01 is checked every five seconds to see if there is activity. 19 No FT-100 OPERATING MANUAL Adjust the SQL knob so that the background noise is just silenced. Press the [FUNC] key several times to recall the FUNC MODE 6, then press the

[C(PRD] key to initiate the Priority mode. The FT-100 will continue to operate normally on the current frequency, but every five seconds will switch briefly to Memory Channel #1-01, locking for activity. If no activity is found, operation will resume on the current frequency. If activity is found on the Priority channel (Memory #1-01), the transceiver will lock on the Priority Channel for a interval set via the Menu Item 2-4. If you press the PTT switch while pausing on the Priority Channel, operation will be locked on the Priority Channel. Press the [C(PRI)] key to exit the Priority mode. Menu Operation The FT-100s Menu System allows you, the owner, to customize a wide variety of transceiver performance aspects and operating characteristics. Menu Selections 1. w a ot Press and hold the [FUNC] key for 1/2 second. The Menu Item number and a brief title for the Menu Item will appear in the display.
