Display Brightness; Band Linking - Yaesu FT-8800R Operating Manual

The FT-8800R display illumination has been specially engineered to provide high visibility
with minimal disruption of your "night vision" while you are driving. The brightness of the
display is manually adjustable, using following procedure:
1. Press the [ SET ] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob to select Menu #9 (DIMMER).
3. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob
to select a comfortable brightness level: DIM 1, DIM 2, DIM 3, or DIM.OFF (no illumi-
nation).
4. Press and hold in the "Main" band DIAL knob for 1/2 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
For operation on Amateur satellites which use a "normal" (not "inverted") FM transponder,
the Band Link feature may be useful.
1. Press the [ SET ] key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob to select Menu #43 (VFO.TR).
3. Press the "Main" band DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the "Main" band DIAL knob
to change the setting to "ON."
4. Press and hold in the "Main" band DIAL knob for 1/2 second to save the new setting and
exit to normal operation.
As you rotate the "Main" band DIAL, you will observe that both bands' frequencies are
changing together. When you are done with this operating mode, select "OFF" in step 3
above.
