144/430 MHz Dual Band FM Transceiver
If you're ready for the best in a Dual-Band FM Mobile Transceiver, the FT-8800R is ready for you! With easy operation, outstanding receiver performance, and crossband repeat capability, the FT-8800R is the new standard of comparison!!
|
Wide Frequency CoverageThe FT-8800R provides extended receiver coverage beyond the Amateur bands, so you can keep informed of communication activities in the public safety, commercial, aircraft, and government communications ranges. Independent Two-Channel OperationThe FT-8800R operates as two radios in one, with either 144 MHz or 430 MHz as the “Main” TX/RX band, while simultaneously monitoring the other band. Each band has its own Volume and Squelch controls. And, if you like, you can configure your FT-8800R for VHF-VHF or UHF-UHF operation, too! High Power OutputTo get your message through when it counts, the FT-8800R puts out a full 50 Watts of power on the 144 MHz band, and 35 Watts on 430 MHz. A thermal sensor monitors heat sink temperature, engaging the rear panel’s cooling fan only when needed. Over 1000 Memory ChannelsThe FT-8800R provides a wide variety of memory resources, including 512 'regular' memories on each band, five 'Home' channels for favorite frequencies, ten sets of band-edge memories on each band, and six 'Hyper Memories' that store complete sets of transceiver operating status configuration. Large, Easy-to-Read Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)Affording easy viewing from a wide range of viewing angles, the LCD of the FT-8800R features Yaesu’s renowned Omni-Glow™ display illumination, with four illumination levels available for different environments. You’ll marvel at the crystal-clear frequency display and status indicators, whether you’re operating night or day! Cross-Band Repeat CapabilityFor emergency work, or to extend the range of a hand-held unit, the FT-8800R includes Cross-Band Repeat capability, similar to that pioneered on our popular FT-8100R Dual Band FM Mobile! One-Touch Band-PatternTo save valuable time while operating a transceiver with the capability of the FT-8800R, the “Hyper Memory” feature allows you to store a complete set of configuration data for the two bands on which you’re operating. Besides the usual storage of frequency and tone data, Hyper Memory will store such setup parameters as Automatic Repeater Shift status, Packet parameters, Scanning mode, and VFO tracking configuration. 50-Tone CTCSS/104-Tone DCS (Digital Code Squelch) Tone SystemsProviding excellent performance even under difficult link conditions, Yaesu’s 50-tone sub-audible CTCSS and 104-tone DCS signaling systems ensure that you have full access to repeater and remote-base inputs, and the built-in CTCSS/DCS decoders allow silent listening on busy channels. Plus you get Tone Search Scanning, which will scan for the tone being received on an incoming signal, allowing you to match tones quickly when operating on a new repeater system. User-Programmable Microphone KeysFour programmable keys on the microphone allow you one-touch access to your favorite command functions. The commands available from the microphone replicate the corresponding front panel key functions, and include Band Change, VFO/Memory switching, Home Channel access, 1 MHz frequency steps, Power Output selection, Repeater Reverse, and CTCSS/DCS setup. Customize your microphone for your personal operating style! Convenient Remote-Head Mounting CapabilityWith the FT-8800R and its optional YSK-8900 Separation Kit, mounting your radio is a breeze even in the tightest locations. The YSK-8900 includes a 20-foot (6 m) remote cable and mounting bracket for the front panel. |

The FT-2HRadio Programming Software is designed to give you the ease and convenience of programming the memories and set menu options of your radio from your PC. Any memory channel with all its details can be sent to the radio with a simple keystroke. Memory Channels Include: - 799 Memory Channels
- 10 Limit Memories (5 pair)
- 6 Home Channels
- 6 Hyper Memories
Other Menu Item Categories Include: The Radio Programmer Is for so Much More than Just Memory Management. | With the FT-2H Programmer you can begin a new “factory fresh” file into which frequencies and option settings are entered. Or, you can read from the radio, store these details on your computer and make changes. Then, with minimal button pushing, send the new configuration back to the radio. The Programmer allows you to create and save as many files as you want for your radio. Files can even be shared between users via email or the Internet. Any RT Systems Version 4.50 program can open a file from any other RT Systems Version 4.50 programmer... even from a different radio. Managing all the options of this great little radio becomes easy with the Programmer. The cut, copy, paste and insert features of the Programmer make channel management easier than ever. Open more than one file at a time. Memory channel information can be copied from one file to another within the Programmer making it really easy to set up a new file. |
Limit Memories Limit Memories are used by the radio for Program Scan. Program the same details for Limit Memories as for regular memory channels. |
Home Home/Call channels are special memories accessed through one button recall on the radio. These channels are preprogrammed in the radio and while the frequency can be changed to another within the band, they cannot be left blank. |
Hyper Memory 1-6 VFO - The program makes available the same VFO’s as in the radio (one per band). The VFO’s are preprogrammed in the radio and while the frequency can be changed to another within the band, they cannot be left blank. Remember these are not real memory channels since the details are lost as soon as you tune the radio manually. You do not need to program into VFO before programming details into a memory channel.
Function Settings - Six separate configurations for specialized activities. Customize the menu items shown for each different Hyper Memory. For most users, mode is the key to easy use of the radio. Set to memory, the Memory channels (Memories tab) are available for use no matter which hyper memory you’re in. |
Common Use these screens to customize other set menu features of the radio. Check boxes toggle features on or off, drop down menus list all selections and blank boxes for personalized entry add to the ease of setting up your radio exactly like you want it. The entries on the Settings screens are made for you to “Set and Forget”. Once settings are customized, you are prompted to save before exiting. The saved settings will be there every time you create a new frequency file. |
DTMF Enter DTMF memory details and customize options for this function of the radio. |
RT Systems Programmers interface with four sources of data to make it easy for you to find repeater information. Some of these sources even include information for repeaters outside the US. Your existing subscription to a service (where required) works in the programmer. - Open Travel Plus List – This is a great source for those of you who still have the TravelPlus CDs (now discontinued) from ARRL since it does not require an Internet connection. Use it with TravelPlus from 2009 to 2015. For more details about using TravelPlus see our video.
- RadioReference Search – This database has commercial and amateur repeaters. A subscription through RadioReference is required to access this data.
- RepeaterBook Search – This database contains domestic and international repeater listings. It is free to use from within the programmer.
- RFinder Web Search – RFinder is now ARRL’s repeater directory service. It has both domestic and international repeater listings. RFinder offers the best search abilities with single location or routing options. A subscription through RFinder is required to access this data.

| Radio Reference Search An internet connection and subscription to the service are required for this search.
Enter the user e-mail and Password that you established when you purchased your subscription from RadioReference Then select the State– Select the state from the list and County– Select the state from the list to get repeaters for that area.
Click OK. |
|
| Repeater Book Search An Internet connection is required for this search.
Location – Enter City, State, Country (if not in the US).
Radius – Enter how many miles (up to 90 maximum) around this location.
Select Bands – This is not terribly important since it can be done on the next screen; however, you might want to limit the selection to reduce the number of repeaters in the results. Uncheck All Bands to make the individual bands active.
Click OK. |
|
| RFinder Search An internet connection and subscription to the service are required for this search.
Enter the User E-mail and Password that you established when you purchased your subscription from RFinder.
Location - Search around a specific city. Enter City, State and Country (if not US). Enter Radius up to 90 miles.
Route - Search along the route of a trip you’re planning. Enter the Start and End cities, a width (remember to limit this since you can’t hear repeaters that are too far away), and waypoints (other cities along the way). The search will travel along major interstate highways between the two cities. If the result is not along the route you plan to take, enter other waypoints on your route.
Map Route – Use this option to see the route the search will take. Close the map to return to the search screen.
Click OK. |
|
The information is returned on a screen that is not yet ready for radio programming, this screen lets you examine the data to see if the results are about what you expected. You might find that you spelled the city name wrong which resulted in nothing being returned; or that you want to pull repeaters from further away; or you want to get repeaters for different bands.
Select what the radio uses as the Name display. You can select the Callsign (default), City, State, Region, Repeater Notes or Sponsor. Notice that each of these categories is a column of information in the grid. You will see those names at the top of the screen. You are selecting the information in that column for the Programmer to set up for the Name field. NOTE: The radio will truncate (cut off) the information in the field at the maximum number of characters it can use for the Alpha/numeric display. You might end up with only the first four or six characters of the information in the column. Consider this when selecting the information.
Select what the Programmer will use in the Comment field. This information does not go to the radio but can be very helpful for identifying a channel as you work with it on the spreadsheet. You can print this information along with other details for the channels to have it on hand as you travel. Again, select Callsign, City, State, Region, Repeater Notes or Sponsor. |
|
Sorting Return Data The screen that opens after you click OK for one of the external data searches gives you the ability to remove repeater information that your radio cannot use. You might have a radio that does not do DMR, DStar or Yaesu Fusion. Simply uncheck these in the list. The channels are removed from the list automatically.
Once you finish eliminating frequencies or modes your radio cannot use, select your radio from Modules and then click Create file for (your radio). |
|
Resulting File After clicking Create File for (Your radio) the programmer creates the file that you use to program your radio. Notice that all the Tones are set up with the tone frequencies. All done automatically.
