YAESU FT-8800R




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 Coverage
The 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 Operation
The 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 Output
To 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 Channels
The 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 Capability
For 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-Pattern
To 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 Systems
Providing 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 Keys
Four 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 Capability
With 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.
