stored into memory, allowing you to conserve
power while using strong local repeaters.
BUILT-IN CTCSS AND DCS ENCODER/
DECODER CIRCUITS
ENHANCED PAGING AND CODE SQUELCH
SYSTEM (EPCS)
For easy repeater access, or silent monitoring of
busy channels, both CTCSS and DCS (Digital Code
Squelch) Encoder/Decoder circuits are built in.
CTCSS and DCS data may be independently stored
on each memory channel. And a "Split" tone mode
allows operation on systems where CTCSS and DCS
are used separately on the repeater uplink/downlink.

FOUR USER-PROGRAMMABLE
"SOFT" KEYS ON MICROPHONE
The [P1]/[P2]/[P3]/[P4] keys
on the microphone may be
programmed by the user for easy remote access
to often-used commands or Menu items.
CW TRAINER: PRACTICE MORSE CODE
BETWEEN QSOs!
The FT-1802M/E provides a CW Training feature,
which sends random Morse Code via the sidetone
(heard in the speaker), so you can improve your
CW proficiency. You may select letters, numbers,
or mixed five-character code groups, with
variable speed and instant feedback of correct
copy on the FT-1802M/E’s display!
SECURITY PASSWORD HELPS PREVENT
UNAUTHORIZED USE
The FT-1802M/E provides a password feature
which can minimize the chance that your transceiver
could be used by an unauthorized party. When
the password feature is activated, the radio will
ask for the four-digit password to be entered
when the radio is first turned on. If the wrong
password is entered, the microprocessor will shut
down the radio automatically.
The FT-1802M/E includes an Enhanced CTCSS tone
encoder/decoder and a dedicated microprocessor
providing paging and selective calling features.
This allows you to place a call to a specific station
(Paging), and to receive calls of your choice directed
only to you (Code Squelch). A Bell Alarm may also
be engaged during EPCS operating, if desired.
Providing coverage of the 2-meter Amateur band,
plus a number of business, marine, government,
and military frequencies, the FT-1802M/E’s wide
receiver coverage keeps you in touch with the
communications action in your area!
The translucent command keys, and large, high-
resolution LCD display, yield a front panel that is
easy to use day and night. What’s more, the
microphone’s keys also are illuminated, eliminating
guesswork during nighttime operation.
ADJUSTABLE MIC GAIN, AND WIDE/NARROW
DEVIATION & RX BANDWIDTH
For operation in crowded channel environments
(12.5/15 kHz channel spacing), the "Narrow" deviation
setting will reduce the transmitter deviation, thus
reducing interference potential to other users. And
the microphone gain is adjustable allowing you to
interface after-market microphones or Packet
TNCs with ease.
EIGHT MEMORY BANKS FOR ORGANIZING
MEMORY CHANNELS
The FT-1802M/E’s memories may be separated
into as many as eight memory banks, for efficient
organizing and scanning of your radio’s memory
channels. Each memory bank may be labeled,
and a particular channel may be stored in multiple
banks, if desired.
WX CHANNELS WITH "SEVERE WEATHER"
ALERT (USA only)
A special 10-channel Weather Band memory bank
is provided in the U.S. version, allowing quick access
to NOAA weather broadcasts. When the 1050-Hz
"Severe Weather" alert tone is transmitted, the
FT-1802M may be configured to emit an alarm
tone to get your attention quickly. And with the
"Weather Alert" feature enabled, the FT-1802M
will scan the ten Weather memories periodically,
stopping only if the 1050-Hz tone is received.
221 MEMORY CHANNELS WITH
ALPHA-NUMERIC LABELING
The FT-1802M/E provides a total of 221 memory
channels, including 200 "regular" memories, ten
pairs of band-limit memories, and an instant-
recall "Home" channel that you may dedicate to a
frequently-used repeater or simplex frequency.
Memories can store repeater shift information,
CTCSS/DCS data, power output level, scanning
status ("Skip"), and 6-character Alpha-Numeric Labels.
KEYBOARD FREQUENCY ENTRY FROM
MICROPHONE
Direct entry of operating frequencies from the supplied
MH-48
A6J
Microphone provides the ultimate in
operating ease. The microphone may also be used
for direct memory channel
access, and for generation of
DTMF tones for autopatch or
Internet link access. And the
[A]/[B]/[C]/[D] keys may be
used to replicate the functions
of the front panel keys, as well.
