NTRODUCTION
The FT-8800R is a ruggedly-built, high quality Dual Band FM transceiver providing 50
Watts of power output on the 144 MHz Amateur band and 35 Watts on the 430 MHz band.
The high power output of the FT-8800R is produced by its RD70HVF1 Power MOS FET
amplifier, with a direct-flow heat sink and thermostatically-controlled cooling fan maintain-
ing a safe temperature for the transceiver’s circuitry.
Featuring 1054 memory channels (527 channels each for “Main” and “Sub” band), full
duplex operation with independent Volume and Squelch controls, and built-in CTCSS and
DCS encoder/decoder circuits, the FT-8800R includes provision for remote-head mount-
ing, utilizing the optional YSK-8900 Separation Kit, which allows installation evening the
most compact of cars.
We recommend that you read this manual in its entirety, so as to understand fully the many
features of your new FT-8800R transceiver.
