BASIC OPERATION

Hi! I’m R. F. Radio, and I’ll be helping you along as you learn the many features of the FT-2800M. I know you’re anxious to get on the air, but I encourage you to read “Basic Operation” section of this manual as thoroughly as possible, so you’ll get the

most out of this fantastic new transceiver. Now. . .let’s get operating!

	TURNING THE TRANSCEIVER ON AND OFF
1.	To turn the transceiver on, press and hold in the PWR key
	for one second.
	When you turn on the FT-2800M, the current DC supply
	voltage is indicated on the LCD for 2 seconds. After this
	interval, the display will switch its normal indication of the	PWR MHz

	operating frequency.
2.	To turn the transceiver off, again press and hold in the PWR key for one second.

ADJUSTING THE AUDIO VOLUME LEVEL

Rotate the VOL control to adjust the receiver volume. Clockwise rotation increases the audio output level.

PWR MHz

ADJUSTING THE SQUELCH SETTING

Rotate the SQL control just to the point where the noise is si-

lenced and the “” indicator on the display turns off. If the SQL control is set further clockwise, sensitivity to weak signals is reduced.

PWR MHz

A special “RF Squelch” feature is provided on this radio. This feature allows you to set the squelch so that only signals exceeding a certain S-meter level will open the squelch. See page 20 for details

FREQUENCY NAVIGATION

1) Tuning Dial

Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL knob causes the FT-2800Mto be tuned toward a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will lower the operating frequency.

Press the [MHz(SET)] key momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob, to change the frequency steps to 1 MHz per step. This feature is extremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the FT-2800M. Instead of pressing the [MHz(SET)] button, you may also press the [A] key on the Microphone’s keypad to engage tuning in 1 MHz steps.
