4 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALThis chapter describes the installation procedure for integrating the FT-1802M into a typi-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 someextra time to make certain that the important safety and technical requirements detailed inthis chapter are followed closely.PRELIMINARY INSPECTIONInspect the transceiver visually immediately upon opening the packing carton. Confirm thatall controls and switches work freely, and inspect the cabinet for any damage. Gently shakethe transceiver to verify that no internal components have been shaken loose due to roughhandling during shipping.If any evidence of damage is discovered, document it thoroughly and contact the shippingcompany (or your local dealer, if the unit was purchased over-the-counter) so as to getinstructions regarding the prompt resolution of the damage situation. Be certain to save theshipping carton, especially if there are any punctures or other evidence of damage incurredduring 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 topreserve the evidence of shipping damage for insurance purposes.INSTALLATION TIPSTo ensure long life of the components, be certain to provide adequate ventilation around thecabinet of the FT-1802M.Do not install the transceiver on top of another heat-generating device (such as a powersupply 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 excessivedirect 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).INSTALLATIONFCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
5FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALINSTALLATIONSAFETY INFORMATIONThe 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 ofdevice. These safety tips apply to any device installed in a well-designed amateur radiostation.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 electricaltape, to prevent short circuits.Do not route cables or wires through door jambs or other locations where, throughwear 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 thatantenna. Do not install a directional antenna in any location where humans or petsmay be walking in the main directional lobe of the antenna’s radiation pattern.In mobile installations, it is preferable to mount your antenna on top of the roof of thevehicle, if feasible, so as to utilize the car body as a counterpoise for the antenna andraise the radiation pattern as far away from passengers as possible.During vehicular operation when stopped (in a parking lot, for example), make it apractice 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 autopatchusing the DTMF microphone. Pull over to the side of the road, whether dialing manu-ally or using the auto-dial feature.FCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
6 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALANTENNA CONSIDERATIONThe FT-1802M is designed for use with antennas presenting an impedance of near 50 Ohmsat all operating frequencies. The antenna (or a 50 Ohm dummy load) should be connectedwhenever 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 becapable of withstanding this power level. Consult the antenna manufacturer’s specificationsheet for details.Most all FM work is performed using vertical polarization. When installing a directionalantenna such as a Yagi or Cubical Quad, be certain to orient it so as to produce verticalpolarization, 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 verticalpolarization; for a Cubical Quad, the feedpoint should be at the center of one of the verticalsides of the driven element (or at a side corner, in the case of a diamond-shaped CubicalQuad).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 yourantenna installation requirements.Use high-quality 50 Ohm coaxial cable for the lead-in to your FT-1802M transceiver. Allefforts at providing an efficient antenna system will be wasted if poor quality, lossy coaxialcable 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 146MHz; 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 mobileinstallation, the smaller, more flexible cable types may be acceptable).For reference, the chart at the right shows ap-proximate loss figures for typically-availablecoaxial cables frequently used in VHF instal-lations.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 shortestpossible length of the highest quality coaxialcable that fits within your budget will ensure the best performance from your FT-1802M.INSTALLATIONCABLE TYPERG-58ARG-58 FoamRG-213RG-8 FoamBelden 9913Times Microwave LMR-4007/8” “Hardline”LOSS: 144 MHZ6.54.73.02.01.51.50.7Loss in dB per 30 m (100 feet) forSelected 50-Ohm Coaxial Cables(Assumes 50-ohm Input/Output Terminations)Loss figures are approximate; consult cable manu-facturers’ catalogs for complete specifications.FCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

15FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALBASIC OPERATIONFREQUENCY NAVIGATION1) Tuning DialRotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps. Clockwise rotation of theDIAL 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 frequencysteps to 1 MHz per step. This feature is extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursionsover the wide tuning range of the FT-1802M. Instead of pressing the [MHz(SET)] button, youmay also press the [A] key on the Microphone’s keypad to engage tuning in 1 MHz steps.2) Direct Keypad Frequency EntryThe 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 theproper sequence. There is no “decimal point” key on the MH-48A6J keypad. However, thereis 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 thechannel 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 thechannel step size.3) ScanningFrom the VFO mode, press the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] keys momentarily to initiatescanning toward a higher- or lower frequency, respectively. The FT-1802M will stop whenit receives a signal strong enough to break through the squelch threshold. The FT-1802Mwill then hold on that frequency according to the setting of the “Resume” mode (Menu “23SCAN)”; see page 34).If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency, instead of ahigher frequency), just rotate the DIAL knob one click in the counter-clockwise directionwhile the FT-1802M is scanning. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert toscanning toward a higher frequency once more, rotate the DIAL knob one click clockwise.Press the [UP]/[DWN] keys again to cancel scanning. You may also press the PTT buttonmomentarily; 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. Thisis normal, because your radio is constantly monitoring for weather alerts. See page 17.FCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

20 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALRF SQUELCHA special RF Squelch feature is provided on this radio. This feature allows you to set thesquelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter level will open the squelch.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 toselect “42 RF SQL.”2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the desired signal strengthlevel 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 exitto normal operation.The receiver’s squelch will open based on the highest level set by the two squelchsystem “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 thesquelch, but the RF Squelch (Menu #20) is set to “S-9,” the squelch will only open onsignals 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 willonly pass signals which are Full Scale on the S-meter, the squelch will only open onsignals which are Full Scale on the S-meter. In this case, the Noise Squelch overrides theaction of the RF Squelch.ADVANCED OPERATIONFCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
21FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALREPEATER OPERATIONThe FT-1802M includes a host of convenience features which makes operation on amateurrepeaters 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 shiftsduring designated repeater frequency subbands; andIndependently stored transmit and receive frequencies (typically not correspondingto established repeater frequency shifts).STANDARD REPEATER SHIFTTo activate the standard shift manually, you may use the Set (Menu) mode:1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob toselect “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 exitto normal operation.You also may program one of the Microphone’s programmable keys ([P1] ~ [P4]) toallow quick access to the above procedure. See page 45 for details on the setup ofthe programmable keys.With repeater shift activated, you can temporarily reverse the transmit and receive frequen-cies by pressing the [REV(DW)] key (or microphone’s [B] key). Use this feature to displaythe 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 thefollowing 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 toselect “46 SHIFT.”2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set the desired offset. Note thatthe 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 exitto 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.FCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

23FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALREPEATER OPERATIONSEPARATE 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 transceiverto the desired receive frequency. Now press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key on thefront panel for one second.2. Within five seconds of pressing the [D/MR(MW)] key, use the DIAL knob or microphone’s[UP]/[DWN] buttons to select the desired memory channel into which you wish to storethis frequency pair.3. Now press the [D/MR(MW)] key momentarily to store the receive frequency into theselected 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 whileholding in the PTT switch. This will not cause transmission, but rather it will instruct thetransceiver 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 youpress the PTT switch, you will observe the display changing to indicate the repeater’s uplinkfrequency. 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.FCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
24 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALCTCSS OPERATIONMany repeater systems require that a very-low-frequency audio tone be superimposed onyour FM carrier in order to activate the repeater. This helps prevent false activation of therepeater by radar or spurious signals from other transmitters. This tone system, called“CTCSS” (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System), is included in your FT-1802M, and isvery easy to activate.CTCSS setup involves two actions: setting the Tone Mode and then setting of theTone Frequency. These actions are set up by using the Set (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 toselect “49 SQ TYP.”2. Press the [MHz(SET)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob so that “TONE” appears on thedisplay; 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-1802M’s 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 callis received, which may be helpful while operating in congested areas.1) You may notice a “RV TN” indication on the display while you rotate theDIAL knob in this step; this means that the Reverse Tone Squelch system isactive, which mutes your FT-1802M’s receiver (instead of opening the squelch) whenit receives a call from the radio sending a matched CTCSS tone. The “T SQ” icon willblink 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 knobstill more. We’ll 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 beused.5. Press the [MHz(SET)] key to enable adjust-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, pressand hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for onesecond to save the new setting and exit tonormal operation.CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATIONCTCSS TONE FREQUENCY (Hz)  67.0   69.3   71.9   74.4   77.0   79.7  82.5   85.4   88.5   91.5   94.8   97.4100.0 103.5 107.2 110.9 114.8 118.8123.0 127.3 131.8 136.5 141.3 146.2151.4 156.7 159.8 162.2 165.5 167.9171.3 173.8 177.3 179.9 183.5 186.2189.9 192.8 196.6 199.5 203.5 206.5210.7 218.1 225.7 229.1 233.6 241.8250.3 254.1 ––––FCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
25FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALYour repeater may or may not re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some systems just useCTCSS to control access to the repeater, but don’t pass it along when 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 allowyou to hear all traffic on the channel being received.You may use the Menu to re-program one of the Microphone’s programmable keys forquick 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 OPERATIONAnother form of tone access control is Digital Code Squelch, or DCS. It is a newer, moreadvanced tone system which generally provides more immunity from false paging than doesCTCSS. The DCS Encoder/Decoder is built into your FT-1802M, and operation is verysimilar to that just described for CTCSS. Your repeater system may be configured for DCS;if not, it is frequently quite useful in Simplex operation if your friend(s) use transceiversequipped with this advanced feature.Just as in CTCSS operation, DCS requires that you set the Tone Mode to DCS andthat you select a Tone Code.1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob toselect “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 toenable the adjustment of the DCS code.5. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the desiredDCS Code (a three-digit number).6. When you have made your selection, pressand hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for onesecond to save the new setting and exit tonormal operation.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.

26 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALTONE SEARCH SCANNINGIn operating situations where you don’t know the CTCSS tone or DCS code being used byanother station or stations, you can command the radio to listen to the incoming signal andscan in search of the tone being used. Two things must be remembered in this regard:You must be sure that your repeater uses the same tone type (CTCSS vs. DCS).Some repeaters do not pass the CTCSS tone or DCS code; you may have to listen to thestation(s) transmitting on the repeater uplink (input) frequency in order to allow ToneSearch 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 Microphone’s [P3] key momentarily to start scanning for the incoming CTCSSor DCS tone/code.3. When the radio detects the correct tone or code, it will halt on that tone/code, and audiowill be allowed to pass.4. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second to lock in that tone/code and exitto normal operation.If the Tone Scan feature does not detect a tone or code, it will continue to scanindefinitely. When this happens, it may be that the other station is not sending anytone. You can press the Microphone’s [P3] key to halt the scan at any time.You may listen to the (muted) signal from the other station during Tone Scanning when SetMode Item “54 TS MUT” is set to “OFF.” See page ?? for details. You can also change theTone Search scanning speed, using Set Mode Item “55 TS SPD.” See page ?? for details.Tone Scanning works either in the VFO or Memory modes.CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATIONFCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
27FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALEPCS (ENHANCED PAGING & CODE SQUELCH) OPERATIONThe 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 aspecific 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 toneswhich 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. Thesquelch then opens so the caller is heard, and the paging ringer immediately sounds, ifactivated. When you close the PTT switch to transmit, the CTCSS tone pair which is storedin 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 Operation1. 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.CDT“34 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 toneof the CTCSS Tone Pair.5. Press the [REV(DW)] or [LOW(A/N)] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to set the CTCSSTone 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 exitto normal operation.The FT-1802M does not recognize the order of the 1st tone and the 2nd tone. Inother words, for example, the FT-1802M considers both CTCSS pairs “10, 35”and “35, 10” to be identical.CTCSS/DCS/EPCS OPERATIONHz67.069.371.974.477.079.782.585.488.591.5No.01020304050607080910Hz94.897.4100.0103.5107.2110.9114.8118.8123.0127.3No.11121314151617181920Hz131.8136.5141.3146.2151.4156.7159.8162.2165.5167.9No.21222324252627282930Hz171.3173.8177.3179.9183.5186.2189.9192.8196.6199.5No.31323334353637383940Hz203.5206.5210.7218.1225.7229.1233.6241.8250.3254.1No.41424344454647484950CTCSS TONE NUMBERFCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

34 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALMEMORY STORAGEA wide array of memory resources are available on the FT-1802M. A total of 221 memoriesare 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. Let’s learn thesimple procedure for storing and recalling a frequency, then we can move on to some of themore advanced memory features.To store a frequency into memory:1. In the VFO mode, select the desired frequency, repeater shift, CTCSS/DCS tone, andTX power level.2. Press and hold in the [D/MR(MW)] key for one second. A memory number will appearin the bottom right-hand corner of the display. If the channel number is blinking, therecurrently is no data stored on that channel; if the channel number is not blinking, thatchannel is currently “occupied” by other frequency data, and you won’t want to use thatchannel 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 thedesired memory into which you wish to store the frequency.4. Press the [D/MR(MW)] key again, this time momentarily, to store the displayed datainto the selected memory channel slot. The memory label will disappear (since you arestill operating in the VFO mode).5. To store other frequencies, repeat steps 1 through 4, remembering to set the repeatershift, 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 (“oddsplit”), use the procedure described on page 23.MEMORY OPERATIONFCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

42 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALThe FT-1802M’s scanning capability provides the operator with many convenient methodsof rapid frequency navigation.BASIC SCANNER OPERATIONBefore activating the scanner, make sure that the Squelch is set to silence the backgroundnoise when no signal is present. Scanning is not possible while the Squelch is open (if noiseor signals are being heard).Scanning may be started or stopped using the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] button. Thefollowing techniques are used for scanning:Pressing and holding in either the [UP] or [DWN] button for one second in the VFOmode 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 Memorymode will cause memory channel scanning toward a higher- or lower-numbered memorychannel, respectively.Scanning pauses when a signal opens the squelch, and the decimal point on the displaywill 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 microphonemomentarily (no transmission will occur while you are scanning). The scan may also behalted manually by pressing the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] button, or the [D/MR(MW)] key.In the factory default setting, the scanner sweep all frequencies while the VFOmode and all memory channels while the Memory mode. You may change thesweep range of the VFO mode to •}1 MHz, •}2 MHz, or •}5 MHz, and sweeps onlythose 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.SCANNINGFCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
43FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALSCAN-RESUME OPTIONSThree scan-resume modes are available on the FT-1802M:In the “BUSY” mode, the scanner will remain halted for as long as there is carrier presenton the channel; after the carrier drops at the end of the other station’s transmission,scanning will resume.In the “HOLD” mode, the scanner will halt on a signal it encounters. It will not restartautomatically; 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, afterwhich 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 followingprocedure:1.

57FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALBUSY CHANNEL LOCK-OUT (BCLO)The BCLO feature prevents the radio’s transmitter from being activated if a signal strongenough to break through the “noise” squelch is present. On a frequency where stations usingdifferent CTCSS or DCS codes may be active, BCLO prevents you from disrupting theircommunications 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 toselect “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 BCLOfeature).5. When you have made your selection, press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for onesecond 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 transmittingthe proper tone; BCLO will thus prevent you from interfering with the other station'stransmission.MISCELLANEOUS SETTINGSFCC ID: K6620233X40/IC ID: 511B-20233X40Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.

60 FT-1802M OPERATING MANUALDCS CODE INVERSIONThe DCS system was first introduced in the commercial LMR (Land Mobile Radio) service,where it is now in widespread use. DCS is sometime referred to by its different proprietarynames, such as DPL® (Digital Private Line®, a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.).DCS uses a codeword consisting of a 23-bit frame, transmitted (subaudible) at a data rate of134.4 bps (bit/sec). Occasionally, signal inversion can result in the complement of a code tobe sent or received. This prevents the receiver’s squelch from opening with DCS enabled, asthe 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 stagesmay result in inversion of a transmitted or received DCS code.While under most circumstances this should not occur (amplifier designs and industry stan-dards take this into account), if you find that your receiver squelch does not open when bothyou and the other station are using a common DCS code, you or the other station (but notboth) can try the following:1. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL knob toselect “15 DCS RV.”3. Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to set this Set ModeItem to “ENABLE” (thus inverting the DCS Code).4.
