FT-227RB SCANNING MEMORIZER
2 METER FM TRANSCEIVER
The FT-227RB is a PLL synthesized FM trans-
ceiver, designed to provide high performance for
the discriminating 2 meter operator.
Channel selection is by means of a photo-inter-
rupter scheme, providing selection of as many as
800 PLL channels between 144 and 148 MHz.
This optical coupling system eliminates noisy, un-
reliable rotary switches used in other makes of
equipment. Digital display of the last four digits
of the operating frequency is provided.
A memory circuit allows storage and recall of two
simplex and four repeater channels, with the press
of a switch. The memorized frequency may be
held when the power switch is turned off, via the
backup circuitry.
For repeater operation, ± 600 kHz split is provided,
and auxiliary splits may be programmed using the
memory system. Tone burst generation is provided,
and a subaudible tone squelch (CTCSS) encoder/
decoder is an available option for your FT-227RB.
Superb operating convenience is provided by the
PLL scanner, allowing up/down scanning control
from the microphone, without rotation of the
main tuning dial..
Your FT-227RB, represents the latest develop-
ments in solid-state technology. With proper care,
and if the directions to follow are observed with-
out fail, your FT-227RB. will provide many years
of trouble-free operation. The owner is encouraged
to read this manual in its entirety, so as to become
better acquainted with the exciting new FT-227RB,
