51FT-818 Operating ManualScanning OperationScan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only)Among the memories you have programmed, there may be some stations which you do not wish to scan. For example, broadcast signals (which are transmitted continuously) will cause the scanner to stop, and such channels may be skipped so as to avoid this in-convenience.To remove a channel from the scanning loop:1. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating Function Row 2 [MW, MC, TAG] appears on the display.2. Recall the memory channel to be skipped.3. Press the (MC) key momentarily. The “hyphen” in the memory channel number will change to become a “dot”; this shows that this channel now is not included in the scanning loop.4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as many times as necessary to skip all the channels you do not wish to scan.5. Initiate memory scanning; you will observe that the channels you marked to be skipped are not included in the scanning loop. 6. Press the PTT switch to stop the scan; you may now use the 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.7. You may restore a previously-skipped channel to the scanning loop by selecting the channel manually, then pressing the (MC) key momentarily so that the “dot” changes to become a “hyphen”.Scan-Resume ChoicesScanning operation requires that you have the transceiver’s audio squelched. The transceiver then “assumes” that the opening of the squelch corresponds to the dis-covery of a signal you may wish to listen to.Once the scan has been halted, the transceiver pauses on the signal and stays locked on its frequency for ve seconds (default pause time). Thereafter, scanning will resume whether or not the other station’s transmission has ended. The scan resume interval can be set to 3/5/10 seconds, or off ( whereby scanning quits when a signal is received) via Menu #41 (RESUME); see 64 for details.Memory Skip “OFF”Memory Skip “ON”
52 FT-818 Operating ManualScanning OperationProgrammable Memory Scan (PMS) OperationTo limit scanning (or tuning) within a particular frequency range, you can use the Pro-grammable Memory Scanning (PMS) feature, which utilizes special-purpose memory pair (“M-PL” and “M-PU”). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping you to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.PMS setup is simple to accomplish;1. Store the upper and lower frequency limits of the desired range into the PMS memory pair (“M-PL” and “M-PU”).2. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating Function Row 3 [STO, RCL, PMS] appears on the display.3. Press the (PMS) key. The “PMS” indication will appear at the upper left corner of the LCD, signifying that the PMS feature is engaged. Tuning and scanning are now limited within the range between the selected PMS memory pair, keeping operation inside this programmed range.Example: Limit tuning & scanning to the frequency range 144.300 - 148.000 MHz1. Press the key, as necessary, to recall the VFO mode. Tune the knob or knob to 144.300 MHz.2. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating Function Row 2 [MW, MC, TAG] appears on the display.3. Press the (MW) key momentarily, then turn the knob to select memory channel “M-PL.”4. Press and hold in the (MW) key for one second to write the VFO frequency into “M-PL.”5. Now, tune the knob or knob to 148.000 MHz).6. Press the (MW) key momentarily, then turn the knob to select memory channel “M-PU.”7. Press and hold the (MW) key for one second to write the VFO frequency into “M-PU.”8. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob one click clockwise to recall Operating Function Row 3 [STO, RCL, PMS].9. Press the (PMS) key momentarily. Tuning and scanning are now limited to the 144.300 ~ 148.000-MHz range until you press the key to return to memory or VFO operation.
53FT-818 Operating ManualScanning OperationNoteThe frequency resolution for these sub-band limits is 100 kHz, although the chan-nel resolution of the sub-band limit memories in whatever you have selected as the current step size. As a result, the frequencies stored in these special memories (M-PL and M-PU) are both rounded down to the nearest 100 kHz for their roles as sub-band limits. Therefore, in the above example, any frequency between 144.300 and 144.399 MHz may be used to store a lower tuning limit of “144.300 MHz” in memory M-PL.
54 FT-818 Operating ManualDual Watch OperationNote: This operation does not function in the FM Broadcast frequencies.Dual Watch is similar, in some respects, to scanning. In Dual Watch, however, the trans-ceiver monitors (squelched) on the VFO-A frequency while periodically checking VFO-B for activity (or vice-versa). 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 monitor-ing frequency. Set up the frequency to be checked periodically on VFO-B.2. Recall VFO-A, then rotate the control until the background noise is just si-lenced.3. Press the key momentarily, then rotate the knob, as needed, until Operating Function Row 5 [SCN, PRI, DW] appears on the display.4. Press the (DW) key momentarily to activate Dual Watch operation (the “DW” icon will appear at the bottom left corner of the LCD.5. The transceiver will continue to monitor (squelched) on the current (VFO-A) frequen-cy, but every ve seconds will switch briey to VFO-B frequency, looking for activity.6. If a station is detected on the VFO-B frequency, the transceiver will pause on the VFO-B frequency (the decimal point in the frequency will blink). 7. Press the (DW) key again to cancel Dual Watch operation (the “DW” icon will disappear). Note that pressing the PTT switch on the microphone does not cancel Dual Watch op-eration.
55FT-818 Operating ManualSection 97.401(d) of the regulations governing amateur radio in the United States permit emergency amateur communications on the spot frequency of 5167.5 kHz by stations in (or within 92.6 km of) the state of Alaska. This frequency is only to be used when the immediate safety of human life and/or property are threatened, and is never to be used for routine communications.The FT-818 includes the capability for transmission and reception on 5167.5 kHz under such emergency conditions via the Menu system. To activate this feature:1. Press and hold in the key for one second to activate the Menu mode.2. Rotate the knob to select Menu #28 (EMERGENCY).3. Rotate the knob to select “ON.”4. Press and hold in the key to exit the Menu mode.Emergency communication on this spot frequency is now possible: Press the key, as necessary, to enter the Memory mode, then rotate the knob to select the emergency channel (M-EMG), which is found between channels M-PU and M-001.Note that the receive-mode claRifieR functions normally while using this frequency, but variation of the transmit frequency is not possible. Activation of Menu #28 does not en-able any other out-of-amateur-band capability on the transceiver. The full specications of the FT-818 are not necessarily guaranteed on this frequency, but power output and receiver sensitivity should be fully satisfactory for the purpose of emergency communica-tion.If you wish to disable operation on the Alaska Emergency Frequency, repeat the proce-dure detailed above, but set Menu #28 to “OFF” in step 3 of the procedure.In an emergency, note that a half-wave dipole cut for this frequency should be approxi-mately 45’3” on each leg (90’6” total length).Emergency operation on 5167.5 kHz is shared with the Alaska-Fixed Service. This trans-ceiver is not authorized for operation, under the FCC’s Part 87, for aeronautical commu-nications.Operation on Alaska Emergency Frequency: 5167.5 khz (U.S. Version Only)

67FT-818 Operating ManualCloningYou can transfer all data stored in one transceiver to another set by utilizing the handy “Cloning” feature. This requires a user-constructed cloning cable which connects the ACC jacks on the two transceivers as shown below.To clone from one transceiver to another, use the following procedure:1. Insert the Clone Cable into the ACC jack of each transceiver.2. Turn both transceivers off, then press and hold in the and keys on each radio while turning the power on again. The “CLONE MODE” notation will ap-pear on the display.3. On the “destination” radio, press the key.4. Now, on the “source” radio, press the key. Data will now be transferred to the “Destination” radio from the “Source” radio.5. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “Error” will be displayed. Check your cable connections and try again.6. If cloning is successful, turn the “destination” radio off. Now turn the “source” radio off.Remove the clone cable. Channel and operating data for both radios are now identical. They both may be turned on now for normal operation.When the radio is “Large Character” mode, the radio does not display the “CLONE MODE” which indicates the “clone mode”. However, the clone operation is the same method.GNDKEY DATA ACCANTINPUT 13.8V:GNDKEY DATA ACCANTINPUT 13.8V:TX DTX DRX DGNDGNDRX DSource radioDistination radio
