Yaesu FT-7800R 144/430 MHz Dual Band FM Transceiver

FEATURES

One-Touch Hyper Memories
Five front panel keys allow complete transceiver configuration status to be stored for convenient one-touch recall. So you can set up favorite frequencies in each operating band, including the receive-only bands, then recall them with a single touch of a button!

High Power Output
Boasting a big 50 Watts of power output on 144 MHz, and 40 Watts on 430 MHz, the FT-7800R/E also includes provision for three lower power levels, so you never have to use more power than you really need. The power level is stored in regular and Hyper Memory registers, too!

Leading-Edge Tone Control Systems
Full-featured CTCSS (50 tones) and DCS (104 codes) Encode/Decode systems are built into every FT-7800R/E, to ensure compatibility with modern repeater systems. And Yaesu’s exclusive ARTS™ Auto-Range Transponder System uses DCS signaling to confirm when two stations are within communications range ideal for emergency communications work!

WiRES™ Internet Linking Compatibility
The FT-7800R/E’s DTMF signaling capability includes provision for easy access to Yaesu’s
WiRES™ (Wide-coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System) Internet linking nodes, as well as other linking systems that require a DTMF string for access.

1200/9600 bps Packet Jack
The rear panel of the FT-7800R/E includes an industry standard Packet Interface Jack, for plug-and-play compatibility with most TNCs configured for interconnection to this standard mini-DIN jack.

Wide Receiver Coverage
The FT-7800R/E provides receiver coverage from 108 to 520 MHz, and 700 to 999.99 MHz (cellular blocked), so you have available a wide range of monitoring excitement, including AM Aircraft, Public Safety, Government, Business, and, of course, Amateur communications. The synthesizer steps appropriate for the operating band are automatically selected, too!

NOAA Weather Alert (U.S. Version Only)
A special memory bank on the FT-7800R allows instant recall of the ten NOAA Weather frequencies. What’s more, you can enable a special "Severe Weather Alert" feature that will
sound an alarm when a NOAA station transmits the special alert tone during a severe weather alert broadcast.

Large, Easy-to-Read Liquid Crystal Display
Affording easy viewing from a wide variety of viewing angles, the LCD of the FT-7800R/E features Yaesu’s renowned Omni-Glow™ display illumination with four illumination levels available for different operating environments. The front panel’s keys are also illuminated, for ease of operation at night.

1,000 Memory Channels with 20 Memory Groups
The FT-7800R/E’s incredible memory channel capacity includes registers for over 1000 channels, each capable of storing a 6-character Alpha-Numeric label. And the memories may be stored in any of the 20 available memory groups; a particular memory channel may also be stored in multiple groups, if desired.

Programmable Microphone Keys
Four keys on the microphone may be custom-programmed by you, so you can have your favorite operating functions quickly available on the microphone.

Direct Keypad Frequency Entry
When using the MH-48A8J DTMF Microphone (supplied in U.S. version), you may enter VFO frequencies or memory channel numbers directly from the microphone’s keypad. On transmit,
the MH-48A8J serves as a full-featured 16-key DTMF pad, and the FT-7800R/E also provides a 16-channel DTMF Autodialer that may be used for Autopatch or Internet Linking access.

Versatile Scanning Capability
You can scan the band, a portion of the band, the memories, or two channels on a "priority" basis, so you’ll always be able to keep up with the action! And with the Yaesu exclusive Smart Search™ system, you can command the FT-7800R/E to sweep the band, searching for busy channels that will automatically be loaded into a special Smart Search memory bank.

Convenient Separation Kit for Remote Mounting (option)
Using the optional YSK-7800 Separation Kit, which contains both cabling and a bracket for the remote front panel, you can mount the FT-7800R/E’s front panel on the vehicle’s dash board, then stow the radio’s body under the seat or in some other convenient, out-of-the-way location.
The cables are approximately 20 feet (6 m) in length.

Automatic Power-Off (APO) Battery Saver
To prevent depletion of your vehicle’s battery if you forget to turn off your radio, the FT-7800R/E includes an Automatic Power-Off (APO) feature, which will automatically turn the radio off after an operator-defined period of 1 ~ 12 hours.

Time-Out Timer (TOT)
The time-Out Timer prevents an accidentally "stuck microphone" condition from causing interference to other users. If the transmitter is keyed beyond the TOT cutoff time, the transmitter will be disengaged automatically. The TOT feature’s cutoff interval is adjustable, in one minute increments, up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
