    Transmitter Operation Packet ( 1200/9600 bps FM ) Operation The FT-818 is designed for operation on either 1200 bps or 9600 bps packet, and set- up is similar to that described previously for SSB-based modes. A separate Data input adjustment is provided, allowing you to optimize the deviation on the FM Packet modes separately from the SSB-based Digital modes.

  • Page 40: Am Transmission

    Transmitter Operation AM Transmission The FT-818 utilizes low-level amplitude modulation of an early stage for transmission pur- poses. This capability is primarily provided for emergency use only, as low-power opera- tion typically utilizes more efficient transmission/reception modes. The AM carrier level is preset to 2 Watts during alignment at the factory, and should not require further adjustment.

  • Page 41: Time-Out Timer

    Transmitter Operation Time-Out Timer Most often used on FM, the transmitter’s Time-Out Timer (TOT) feature disables the trans- mitter after a user-defined period of transmission. This feature may be useful in preventing a “stuck microphone” (accidental closure of the PTT switch) from causing interference to other users, and it will also force you to keep your transmission short, thereby conserving battery power.

    Spectrum Scope Monitor Operation Note: This operation does not function in the FM Broadcast frequencies. The Spectrum Scope Monitor allows viewing of operating activity on 5 channels above and 5 channels below the current operating channel in the VFO mode. When the Spectrum Scope Monitor is activated, the display indicates the relative signal strength on channels immediately adjacent to the current operating frequency.

    Scanning Operation Scan Skip Programming (Memory Mode Only) Among the memories you have programmed, there may be some stations which you do not wish to scan. For example, broadcast signals (which are transmitted continuously) will cause the scanner to stop, and such channels may be skipped so as to avoid this inconve- nience.
