M an operator’s dream come true!
the FT-2800M may be configured to
emit an alarm tone to get your attention
quickly. With the "Weather Alert" feature
enabled, the FT-2800M will scan the ten
Weather memories, stopping only if the
1050-Hz tone is received.
The Smart Search
™
feature may be used
to load - automatically with no operator
intervention - a special bank of up to 31
memories, based on activity. Smart Search
™
will sweep the band, automatically
loading frequencies on which activity is
found, making it ideal when visiting a
city for the first time.
The FT-2800M includes a conveniently-
located "Internet" key, for quick access
to Internet-linked repeater systems.
Internet repeater linking allows you to
use your FT-2800M to talk to other
Amateurs throughout the world, with
outstanding voice signal quality. The
"Internet" key may be configured to
send either a single DTMF digit, or a DTMF
string, for operation on a WIRES
™
(Wide-
Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement
System) repeater, or on other Internet-
linked repeaters using DTMF tone access.

The FT-2800M’s receiver front end
features Yaesu’s renowned Advanced
Track Tuning RF input filtering, which
affords outstanding protection from
Intermodulation distortion.
The FT-2800M may be configured to keep
the receiver squelched until the incoming
signal exceeds a user-defined signal
strength. When weak signals cause the
squelch to open frequently, but if you
don’t want to use CTCSS or DCS control,
the RF Squelch
feature will keep
your receiver
quiet until a
louder signal
calls.
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.
The Menu system provides access to 34
configuring settings for your FT-2800M,
allowing you to "Set and Forget" many
aspects of transceiver operation. The
Menu items are listed alphabetically, for
easy recall.
When you turn on the FT-2800M, the current
DC supply voltage will be indicated on
the display for one second. After this
interval, the display will resume its normal
indication of the operating frequency. You
can also configure one of the microphone’s
programmable keys for instant display
of the input voltage, too!

The backlit MH-48

microphone
allows direct keypad frequency entry, or
keypad memory channel recall. On
transmit, the MH-48
A6J
allows manual
entry of DTMF tones for autopatch use,
and the FT-2800M also includes a nine-
memory, 16-digit DTMF Autodialer. Four
user-programmable "soft" keys on the
microphone may
be programmed for
easy control of a
number of different
features, and the
[A]/[B]/[C]/[D] keys
replicate the functions
of the keys on the
front panel of the
transceiver, for
maximum convenience
while driving.
