1 ) Tuning Dial

Rotating the DIAL knob allows tuning in the pre-programmed steps established for the cur-
rent operating band. Clockwise rotation of the DIAL knob causes the FT-8800R to be tuned
toward a higher frequency, while counter-clockwise rotation will lower the operating fre-
quency.
On the "Main" band frequency, press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL
knob, to change the "Main" band frequency steps to 1 MHz per step. This feature is ex-
tremely useful for making rapid frequency excursions over the wide tuning range of the
FT-8800R.
2 ) Direct Keypad Frequency Entry ( MH-48
The keypad of the MH-48
band operating frequency.
To enter a frequency from the MH-48
proper sequence. There is no "decimal point" key on the MH-48
Examples: To enter 146.480 MHz, press [ 1 ]
To enter 433.000 MHz, press [ 4 ]

3 ) Scanning

From the VFO mode, press and hold the [ SCN ] key for one second, then rotate the DIAL
knob to select the bandwith for the VFO scanner. Now, press the [ SCN ] key momentarily
to initiate scanning toward a higher frequency. The FT-8800R will stop when it receives a
signal strong enough to break through the squelch threshold. The FT-8800R will then hold
on that frequency according to the setting of the "resume" mode (Menu #34 (SCAN
page 66). See page 39 for details regarding the VFO Scan operation.
If you wish to reverse the direction of the scan (i.e. toward a lower frequency, instead of a
higher frequency), just rotate the DIAL knob one click in the counter-clockwise direction
while the FT-8800R is scanning. The scanning direction will be reversed. To revert to
scanning toward a higher frequency once more, rotate the DIAL knob one click clockwise.
Press the [ SCN ] key again to cancel scanning.
