Select the Channel Step
The FT−8800R’s synthesizer provides the option of utilizing channel steps of
5/10/12.5/15/20/25/50 kHz per step, any number of which may be important to your operating
requirements. The FT−8800R is set up at the factory with different default steps on each
operating band which probably are satisfactory for most operation. However, if you need to
change the channel step increments, the procedure to do so is very easy; remember to get set
up on the desired band before making any changes, as different steps may be programmed for
each operating band.
1. Press the SET key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select Menu #38 STEP.
3. Press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the
new channel step size.
4. Press and hold in the DIAL knob for ½ second to save the new setting and exit to
normal operation.
Set the Display Brightness
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 DIAL knob to select Menu #9 DIMMER.
3. Press the DIAL knob momentarily, then rotate the DIAL knob to select a
comfortable brightness level: DIM 1, DIM 2, DIM 3, or DIM.OFF (no illumination).
4. Press and hold in the DIAL knob for ½ second to save the new setting and exit to
