FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual FT-7800R Operating Manual Introduction The FT-7800R is a ruggedly-built, high quality Dual Band FM transceiver providing 50 Watts of power output on the 144 MHz Amateur band and 40 Watts on the 430 MHz Amateur band. The high power output of the FT-7800R is produced by its RD70HVF1 Power MOS FET amplifier, with a direct-flow heat sink and thermostatically-controlled cooling fan maintaining a safe temperature for the transceivers circuitry. Featuring 1055 memory channels which enable storing Independent Transmit Frequencies (Odd Split) and built-in CTCSS and DCS encoder/decoder circuits, the FT-7800R includes provision for remote-head mounting, utilizing the optional YSK-
7800 Separation Kit, which allows installation evening the most compact of cars. Additional features include a convenient access key for Vertex Standards WIRES
(Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System), a transmit Time-Out Timer
(TOT), Automatic Power-Off (APO), Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS), plus Yaesus exclusive ARTS (Auto-Range Transponder System) which beeps the user when you move out of communications range with another ARTSTM equipped station. And an RF squelch circuit allows the owner to set the squelch to open at a programmable setting of the S-Meter, thus reducing guesswork in setting the squelch threshold. We recommend that you read this manual in its entirety, so as to understand fully the many features of your new FT-7800R transceiver. 1 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual Installation This chapter describes the installation procedure for integrating the FT-7800R into a typical amateur radio station. It is presumed that you possess technical knowledge and conceptual 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 original 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-7800R. 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-
7800R. Avoid heating vents and window locations that could expose the transceiver to excessive direct sunlight, especially in hot climates. The FT-7800R should not be used in an environment where the ambient temperature exceeds +140 F (+60 C). Safety Information The FT-7800R 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. 4 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual
(!) Never allow unsupervised children to play in the vicinity of your transceiver or antenna 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 manually or using the auto-dial feature. Antenna Considerations The FT-7800R 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 transmission occurs accidentally without an antenna. Ensure that your antenna is designed to handle 50 Watts of transmitter power. Some magnetic-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 polarization 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). Note that this transceiver is designed with wide frequency coverage in the VHF/UHF 5 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual spectrum. For general listening, you may wish to have a broadband antenna such as a discone available, as a directional antenna such as a Yagi will have degraded performance outside the Amateur band for which it is designed. Excellent reference texts and computer software are available for the design and optimization of VHF and UHF 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-7800R 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 6 dB or more at 446 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 below shows approximate loss figures for typically-available coaxial cables frequently used in VHF/UHF installations. Loss in dB per 30 m (100 feet) for Selected 50-Ohm Coaxial Cables
(Assumes 50-ohm Input/Output Terminations) Loss figures are approximate; consult cable manufacturerss catalogs for complete specifications. In outdoor installations, be certain to weatherproof all connectors thoroughly, as water entering a coaxial cable will cause losses to escalate rapidly, thus diminishing your communications 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-7800R. Mobile Installation The FT-7800R must only be installed in vehicles having a 13.8 Volt negative ground electrical system. Mount the transceiver where the display, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied MMB-36 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 mechanically). 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 procedures. 6 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual 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-7800R, nor DC voltage greater than 15.8 Volts. When replacing the fuse, only use a 15-A fast-blow type. 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 revving 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. Mobile Speakers The optional MLS-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-7800R, if they present the specified 8-Ohm impedance and are capable of handling the 2 Watts of audio output supplied by the FT-7800R. Base Station Installation The FT-7800R is ideal for base station use as well as in mobile installations. The FT-
7800R is specifically designed to integrate into your station easily, using the information to follow as a reference. AC Power Supplies Operation of the FT-7800R from an AC line requires a power source capable of providing 7 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual 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. Packet Radio Terminal Node Controller (TNC) The FT-7800R provides a convenient rear-panel DATA jack for easy connections to your TNC. This connector is a standard mini-DIN connector. A pre-wired connector and cable assembly option, model CT-39A, is available from your local Yaesu dealer. The FT-7800Rs DATA jack connections are optimized for the data transmission and reception speed in use. In accordance with industry standards, the signal levels, impedances, and bandwidths are significantly different on 9600 bps as opposed to 1200 bps. If your TNC does not provide multiple lines to accommodate such optimization, you may still be able to utilize your TNC, if it is designed for multiple-radio use, by connecting the TNC Radio 1 port to the 1200 bps lines on the FT-7800R, and the Radio 2 port to the 9600 bps lines. The pin connections of the Data connector are shown below. Note that 9600 bps packet transmit-deviation adjustment is very critical to successful operation, and can only be accomplished using a calibrated deviation meter (such as that found on an FM Service Monitor used in a communications service center). In most cases, the Packet Data Input level (set via a potentiometer inside the TNC) must be adjusted to provide a deviation of 2.75 kHz (0.25 kHz). Check with your packet nodes sysop if you have any questions about the appropriate deviation level for your network. Note also that high throughput on 9600 bps frequently requires strong signals, so you may wish to consider the use of a directional antenna such as a Yagi for communication with high-speed packet nodes. The setting of the 1200 bps Packet Data Input level is much less critical than it is at 9600 bps, and satisfactory adjustment to the optimum (2.5 ~ 3.5 kHz) deviation can usually be done by ear by adjusting the TNCs 1200 bps TX Audio Level potentiometer so that the outgoing packets (as monitored on a separate VHF or UHF receiver) are approximately the same level as (A) the DTMF tones or (B) the 1750 Hz Burst tone produced using the microphone. 8 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual Finally, note that the Menu (Set) mode allows you to set the Packet data rate (1200 or 9600 bps) independently for each band. If you have trouble getting your FT-7800R to respond correctly during packet operation, check to be certain that you do not have Menu #26 (PKT.SPD) set to the wrong data rate. You may activate the microphone input while operating on the packet mode via the Menu #25 (PKT.MIC), if you desired. 1.

I know youre anxious to get on the air, but I encourage you to read the 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 switch for 1/2 second. When you turn on the FT-7800R, 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 switch for 1/2 second. Adjusting the Audio Volume Level and Squelch Setting At first, set the SQL knob fully counter-clockwise. Now, you may rotate the VOL knob clockwise to adjust the receiver volume for a comfortable listening level, using the background noise as a reference. To set the squelch, turn the SQL knob clockwise a slightly past the point where the background noise is muted. This is the point of best sensitivity to weak signals, and we recommend that you not rotate the SQL knob very much past the point where the 15 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual background noise is just silenced. 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 ?? for details Selecting the Operating Band Press the [BAND(SET)] key to move the operating band:
144 MHz 250 MHz 350 MHz 430 MHz 850 MHz 144 MHz ...... R.F. Says: You may select the operating band by pressing the microphones [P1] key. Frequency Navigation 1) Tuning Dial Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps established for the VFO frequency. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL knob causes the FT-7800R to be tuned toward a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will lower the operating frequency. Press the [MHz(PRI)] 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-7800R. 2) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry (MH-48A6J Microphone) The keypad of the MH-48A6J DTMF Microphone may be used for direct entry of the operating 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. Examples: To enter 146.480 MHz, press [1] [4] [6] [4] [8] [0]
To enter 433.000 MHz, press [4] [3] [3] [0] [0] [0]
3) Scanning From the VFO mode, press and hold the [SCAN(SEL)] key for 1/2 second, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the bandwidth for the VFO scanner. Now, press the
[SCAN(SEL)] key momentarily to initiate scanning toward a higher frequency. The FT-
7800R will stop when it receives a signal strong enough to break through the squelch threshold. The FT-7800R will then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the Resume mode (Menu #36 (SCAN); see page ??). See page ?? for details regarding the VFO Scan operation. 16 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual 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-7800R 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 [SCAN(SEL)] key again to cancel scanning. R.F. Says: You may also initiate the scanner by pressing and holding in the microphones [UP] or [DWN] key. However, in this case, the scanner cause to sweep frequencies only on the current band. If you would like the scanner not to be restricted to the current band, you may change Menu #46 (VFO.BND) to allow the scanner to hop to the low edge of the next-highest band when the VFO frequency reaches the high end of the current band (or vice- versa). See page ?? for details. Transmission To transmit, simply close the PTT (Push To Talk) switch on the microphone when the frequency is clear. Hold the microphone approximately 25 mm (1) 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. R.F. Says: When the RF power amplifier heatsink is reached to a factory preset temperature, reduce the transmit power level to the LOW automatically to prevent the over heating the radio. You leave transmit in this condition (LOW mode), the radio return to the receive mode forcibly. Changing the Transmitter Power Level You can select from among a total of four transmit power levels on your FT-7800R. To change the power level, press the [LOW(ACC)] 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 ?? for details on Memory operation).

Says: Unless you have a compelling reason to do so, leave the Automatic Mode Selection feature on so as to save time and trouble when changing bands. If you make a mode change for a particular channel or station, you can always store that one channel into memory, as the mode setting will be memorized along with the frequency information. Repeater Operation Repeater stations, usually located on mountaintops or other high locations, provide a dramatic extension of the communication range for low-powered hand-held or mobile transceivers. The FT-7800R includes a number of features which make repeater operation simple and enjoyable. Repeater Shifts Your FT-7800R has been configured, at the factory, for the repeater shifts customary in your country. While the 144 MHz shift will be 600 kHz; on 70 cm, the shift may be 1.6 MHz or 7.6 MHz. Depending on the part of the band in which you are operating, the repeater shift may be either downward () or upward (+), and one of these icons will appear at the top of the LCD when repeater shifts have been enabled. Automatic Repeater Shift (ARS) The FT-7800R provides a convenient Automatic Repeater Shift feature, which causes the appropriate repeater shift to be automatically applied whenever you tune into the designated repeater sub-bands in your country. These sub-bands are shown below. 20 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual If the ARS feature does not appear to be working, you may have accidentally disabled it. To re-enable ARS:
1. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #4 (ARS). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to change the setting to ON (to enable Automatic Repeater Shift). 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. With repeater shift activated, you can temporarily reverse the transmit and receive frequencies by pressing and holding in the [TONE(HM/RV)] key for 1/2 second. Use this feature to display the transmit frequency without transmitting, and to check the strength of signals on a repeater uplink frequency (so as to determine whether of not a particular station is within Simplex range, for example). Manual Repeater Shift Activation If the ARS feature has been disabled, or if you need to set a repeater shift direction other than that established by the ARS, you may set the direction of the repeater shift manually. To do this:
1. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #33 (RPT.MOD). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired shift among RPT., RPT.+, and RPT.OFF. 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. Changing the Default Repeater Shifts If you travel to a different region, you may need to change the default repeater shift so as to ensure compatibility with local operating requirements. To do this, follow the procedure below:
1. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #39 (SHIFT). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the new repeater shift magnitude. 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. 21 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual R.F. Says: If you just have one odd split that you need to program, dont change the default repeated shifts using this Menu Item! Enter the transmit and receive frequencies separately, as shown on page ??. CTCSS/DCS 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-7800R, and is very easy to activate. R.F. Says: CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and then setting of the Tone Frequency. These actions are set up by using the [TONE(REV)] key and Set mode #44 (TN FRQ). 1. Press the [TONE(REV)] key several times, so that ENC appears on the display;
this activates the CTCSS Encoder, which allows repeater access. R.F. Says: 1) You may notice an additional DCS icon appearing while you press the [TONE(REV)] key in this step. Well discuss the Digital Code Squelch system shortly. 2) You may notice REV TN indication on the display, this means that the Reverse Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FT-7800Rs receiver when it receives a call from the radio sending a matched CTCSS tone. The DEC icon will blink on the display when the Reverse Tone Squelch system is activated. 2. Press the [TONE(REV)] key once more in above step will cause ENC DEC to appear. When ENC DEC appears, this means that the Tone Squelch system is active, which mutes your FT-7800Rs receiver until it receives a call from another radio sending 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. 3. When you have made your selection of the CTCSS tone mode, press and hold in the
[BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode, then rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #44 (TN FRQ). This Menu selection allows setting of the CTCSS tone frequency to be used. 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to enable adjustment of the CTCSS frequency. 22 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual 5. Rotate the DIAL knob until the display indicates the Tone Frequency you need to be using. 6. When you have made your selection, press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. R.F. Says: 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 transmitting. If the S-Meter deflects, but the FT-7800R is not passing audio, press the [TONE(REV)]
key so that ENC appears - this will allow you to hear all traffic on the channel being received. 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-7800R, 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. R.F. Says: Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS and that you select a Tone Code. 1. Press the [TONE(REV)] key until DCS appears on the display; this activates the DCS Encoder/Decoder. 2. Now, press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode, then rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #9 (DCS.COD). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to enable the adjustment of the DCS code. 4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired DCS Code (a three-digit number). 5. When you have made your selection, press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. R.F. Says: Remember that the DCS is an Encode/Decode system, so your receiver will remain muted until a matching DCS code is received on an incoming transmission. Switch the DCS off when youre just tuning around the band!
Tone Search Scanning In operating situations where you dont know the CTCSS or DCS tone being used by another station or stations, you can command the radio to listen to the incoming signal 23 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual and scan 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 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 discussion). 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 and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #44 (TN FRQ) when CTCSS is selected, or Menu #9 (DCS.COD) during DCS operation. 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key to enable adjustment of the selected Menu Item. 5. Press the [SCAN(SEL)] key momentarily to start scanning for the incoming CTCSS or DCS tone/code. 6. When the radio detects the correct tone or code, it will halt on that tone/code, and audio will be allowed to pass. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to lock in that tone/code, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to save the new setting and exit to normal operation. R.F. Says: 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 [SCAN(SEL)] key to halt the scan at any time. Tone Scanning works either in the VFO or Memory modes. Split Tone Operation The FT-7800R can be operated in a Split Tone configuration via the Set mode. 1. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #41 (SPLIT). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select ON
(to enable the Split Tone feature). 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. When the Split Tone feature is activated, you can see the following additional parameters after the DCS parameter while selecting the Tone Mode by pressing the
[TONE(REV)] key:

Scanning The FT-7800R allows you to scan just the memory channels, the entire operating band, or a portion of that band. It will halt on signals encountered, so you can talk to the station(s) on that frequency, if you like. Scanning operation is basically the same in each of the above modes. Before you begin, take a moment to select the way in which you would like the scanner to resume scanning after it halts on a signal. Setting the Scan-Resume Technique Three options for the Scan-Resume mode are available:
BUSY: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. Two seconds after the carrier has dropped because the other station(s) ceased transmission, the scanner will resume. TIME: In this mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters, and will hold there for five seconds. If you do not take action to disable the scanner within five seconds, the scanner will resume even if the stations are still active. HOLD: In this 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. 31 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

Smart Search The 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 memory bank with the frequency and repeater shift data pertaining to those channels on which activity is found (if Automatic Repeater Shift is activated). The channels are loaded in order in which 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, where you may be unfamiliar with the repeater frequencies; Smart Search discovers where the local 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(MW)] key, if necessary. 2. Press the [S.SCH(ARTS)] key momentarily; this will cause the radio to scan upward on the current band, loading channels on which it encounters a signal strong enough to open the squelch. 3.

Says: The Smart Search memories are so-called soft memories; they will lost if you exit the Smart Search mode or initiate a new Smart Search sweep. ARTSTM: Auto Range Transponder System The 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 during Search-and Rescue situations, where is important to stay in contact with other members of your group. Both stations must set up their DCS codes to the same code number, then activate their ARTS 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 radio will transmit a signal which includes a (subaudible) DCS signal for about one second. If the other 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-activate ARTS. 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 also be 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 that no 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 to the IN.RNG indication. During ARTS operation, it is not possible to change the operating frequency or other settings; 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 Operation 1. Set your radio and the other radio(s) to the same DCS code number, per the discussion on page ??. 39 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

Miscellaneous Settings Time-Out Timer The Time-Out Timer (TOT) feature is designed to force the transceiver into the 44 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual receive mode after a preset time period of continuous transmission (the default is 6 minutes). This feature prevents your transceiver from transmitting a dead carrier for a long period of time in the event that the microphone PTT switch is accidentally locked in the TX condition. The Time-Out Timers switch-to-receive time may be adjusted, in one minute increments, for any period between 1 and 30 minutes. To change the default (6 minute) time setting, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #45 (TOT). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired interval (between 1 and 30 minutes), or OFF. 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. When the TOT Timer reaches before 10 seconds of the TOT time, the ringer sounds to alert you. Automatic Power-Off The Automatic Power-Off (APO) feature will turn the radio completely off after a user-defined period of PTT switch or key/button inactivity. If you do not press any front panel keys or buttons, rotate the DIAL knobs or 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. 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, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #1 (APO). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired switch-off time (between 0.5 and 12 hours in 0.5 hours increments), or OFF. 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation.

To restore the normal (higher) microphone input level, select WIDE in step 3 above. 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 prevent receiver 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:
47 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual
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 stages may result in inversion of a transmitted or received DCS code. While under most circumstances this should not occur (amplifier designs and industry standards 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 [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to enter the Set mode. 2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #10 (DCS.N/R). 3. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the following mode. T/RX N: Encoder; Normal, Decoder; Normal RX R: Encoder; Normal, Decoder; Reverse (Inverted) TX R: Encoder; Reverse (Inverted), Decoder; Normal T/RX R: Encoder; Reverse (Inverted), Decoder; Reverse (Inverted) 4. Press the [BAND(SET)] key momentarily to save the new setting, then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key for 1/2 second to exit to normal operation. Remember to restore the default setting to T/RX N (Encoder; Normal, Decoder;
Normal) when done. Reset Procedure 1. Turn the radio off. 2. Press and hold in the [MHz(PRI)] key while turning the radio on. 3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the resetting menu:
F-1 SETRST: Resets the Set (Menu) mode settings to their factory defaults. F-2 HYPRST: Clears the Hyper Memory settings to factory defaults. F-3 MEMRST: Clears the Regular Memory settings to factory defaults. F-4 MB RST: Clears the Memory Bank Assignment. F-5 ALLRST: Clears all memories and other settings to factory defaults. 4.

FCC ID: K6620165X40 IC ID: 511B-20165X40 Operating Manual procedure, once you have made your selection in step 3. Cloning You can transfer all data stored in one FT-7800R to another FT-7800R by utilizing the handy Cloning feature. This requires a user-constructed Cloning cable which connects the DATA jacks on the two transceivers, as shown below. To clone from one transceiver to another, use the following procedure:
1. Insert the Cloning Cable into the DATA jack of each transceiver. 2. Turn both transceivers off, then press and hold in the [MHz(PRI)] key on each radio while turning the power on again. 3. Rotate the DIAL knob on each radio to select (CLONE START), then press and hold in the [BAND(SET)] key. The display will disappear for a moment, then the CLONE notation will appear on the display. 4. On the destination radio, press the [LOW(ACC)] key. The --RX-- indicator will appear on the display. 5. Now, on the Source radio, press the [V/M(MW)] key. The --TX-- indicator will 6. appear on the display, and the cloning data transfer will immediately begin. If there is a problem during the cloning process, Error will be displayed. Check your cable connections, and try again. If cloning was successful, CLONE will reappear on both displays. 7. 8. Turn both transceivers off, then remove the Cloning Cable. Channel and operating data for both radios are now identical. They both may be turned on now for normal operation. Menu (Set) Mode The FT-7800R Set (Menu) mode, already described in parts of many previous chapters, is easy to activate and set. It may be used for configuration of a wide variety of transceiver parameters, some of which have not been detailed previously. Use the following procedure to activate the Set (Menu) mode:
