GENERAL
6. To return to the dial frequency (the last
frequency displayed before the DIAL button
was pushed), press "DIAL", and the display
will return to 5. 1 25, unless other frequencies
were stored in the memory channels during
Step 4. If you wish to operate on frequencies
other than the memory channel, press the
keys for the desired frequency and "DIAL".
The display will then show the frequency and
allow operation on that frequency. For
example, press "5775" and "DIAL" to
operate on 1 45.775 MHz
D. Priority Channel Operation
1 . First enter into the memory channels all
desired frequencies for priority use.
2. Now enter another frequency onto the dial.
In this example, we will use 1 45.500 MHz.
Press "5 500" and "DIAL". The display will
show "5.500".
3. Now recall any of the stored memory
channels. For example, as 145. 1 25 MHz was
previously stored in memory channel 2, press
"2" and "MR" to recall that frequency. Now
press the "#" key. The display will indicate
"5.500 P", and every few seconds the display
will switch to the memory channel "5. 1 25".
4. When the CLEAR-MAN-BUSY switch is in
the BUSY position, the transceiver will lock
on the memory channel if a carrier is present
when the channel is checked by the priority
search feature. If you place the CLEAR-MAN­
BUSY switch in the CLEAR position, the
search will stop when the memory channel is
clear (no signal is present). To reinstate
priority operation, repeat step 3.
5. To use different memory channels with
priority channels, enter the priority frequency
from the keyboard and press "DIAL". Now
press the number of the desired memory
channel for recall, and then press "#". The
transceiver will search the memory channel
from the dial frequency every few seconds.
E. Repeater Operation
1 . Repeater shifts of +600 kHz and -600 kHz
are built into the FT-208R. To select the shift
frequency, set the SHIFT switch to either the
+RPT or -RPT position.
1 - 1 2
2. When nonstandard repeater shifts (other . than
± 600 kHz shifts) are required, the repeater
shift can be programmed from the keyboard.
For example, to program a split of ±700 kHz,
push "0700" and then the "S" key. Now the
repeater shift is programmed. Set the SHIFT
switch to the +SET position, and close the
PTT switch. The display will indicate the
frequency that is +700 kHz from the receive
frequency. If the SHIFT switch is in the
-SET position , the transmit frequency will be
-700 kHz from the receive frequency. (See
page 1 - 1 3 Error Modes)
F. Split Operation
1 . To transmit on the dial frequency and receive
on one of the memory frequencies, set the
SHIFT switch to the MS position, and enter
the desired transmit frequency from the key­
board.
2. Now recall the desired memory channel for
receive. Close the PTT switch, and the display
will indicate the
dial
frequency during trans­
mission. Release the PTT switch to return to
the receive mode (on the memory channel).
G. Scanner Operation
1 . With the CLEAR-MAN-BUSY switch in the
MAN position and the STEP switch in the
XI
position (left side), press the UP
�
or DOWN
� switch to move 5 kHz ( 1 2.5 kHz) up or
down, respectively. If you push and hold the
UP or DOWN switch for more than 1 second,
the scanner will be activated.
2. To stop the scan , press the UP, DOWN, or
PTT switch. If you hit the PTT switch while
scanning, no transmission will occur. Release
the PTT switch momentarily, then press the
PTT switch again to transmit.
3 . To stop the scanner on a busy o r clear chan­
nel, place the CLEAR-MAN-BUSY switch to
the desired position , and press the UP or
DOWN switch for a moment. The scanner will
search until a busy or clear channel is found.
After a 5 second stop on the channel for
moni taring, the scanner will again start to
search other channels. If you wish to stop on
a channel, momentarily close the PTT switch.
