■ Your first contact
Now that you have your ID-800H installed in your car or
shack, you are probably excited to get on the air. We would
like to take you through a few basic operation steps to make
your first “On The Air” an enjoyable experience.
1. Turning ON the transceiver
Before powering up your ID-800H, you may want to make
sure the audio volume and squelch level controls are set in
9–10 o’clock positions.
Although you have purchased a brand new transceiver, some
settings may be changed from the factory defaults because
of the quality control process. Resetting the CPU is necessary to start from factory default.
➥ While pushing both [SET•LOCK] and [S.MW•MW], push
and hold [PWR] for 1 sec. to reset the CPU.
2. Selecting the operating frequency band
The ID-800H has 2 m and 70 cm transmittable bands.
➥ Push [BAND•MODE] momentarily to enter band selection
mode.

ANTENNA INFORMATION
For radio communications, the antenna is of critical importance, to maximize your output power and receiver sensitivity. The transceiver accepts a 50 Ω antenna and less
than 1:1.5 of Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). High
SWR values not only may damage the transceiver but also
lead to TVI or BCI problems.

■ Squelch attenuator
The transceiver has an RF attenuator related to the squelch
level setting. Approx. 10 dB attenuation is obtained at maximum setting.
The squelch attenuator allows you to set a minimum signal
level needed to open the squelch. The attenuator function can
be deactivated in initial set mode.
➥ Rotate [SQL] clockwise past the 12 o’clock position to ac-
tivate the squelch attenuator.
• Attenuation level can be adjusted up to 10 dB (approx.) between
12 o’clock and fully clockwise position.
• When setting the squelch from the microphone, a level greater
than ‘19’ activates the squelch attenuator.
NOTE: The squelch attenuator functions even when the
monitor function is in use. Thus set [SQL] control within 10

IMPORTANT! (for 55/50 W transmission):
The ID-800H is equipped with a current detector circuit to
protect the power amplifier circuit from high current flowing.
When a high SWR (Standing wave Ratio) antenna or no antenna is connected, or when the connected power supply’s
voltage includes, the transceiver reduces transmit output
power to 10–20 W (approx.) automatically.
CAUTION: Transmitting without an antenna will damage
the transceiver.

REPEATER OPERATION
4
Repeaters allow you to extend the operational range of your
radio because a repeater has much higher output power than
the typical transceiver.
Normally, a repeater has independent frequencies for each
receiver and transmitter.
A subaudible tone may also be required to access a repeater.
Reference amateur radio hand books and local ham magazines for details of local repeaters such as repeater input/output frequencies and locations.
•Repeater operation flow chart
• The ID-800H USA version has the auto repeater function. Thus the
steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary, depending on the setting.
• Repeater settings can be stored into a memory channel.
Step 3:
Set the duplex (shifting) direction (– duplex or +duplex).
- Set the offset frequency (shifting value), if required.
Step 4:
Set the subaudible tone (repeater tone) encoder function ON.
- Set the subaudible tone frequency, if required.
Step 1:
Set the desired band to operate the repeater.
Step 2:
Set the desired receive frequency (repeater output frequency).
Repeater example;

■ Scan types
Scanning searches for signals automatically and makes it
easier to locate new stations for contact or listening purposes.
There are 3 scan types and 4 resume conditions to suit your
operating needs.
BAND SCAN (p. 43)
Repeatedly scans all frequencies over the entire band.
Used as the simplest scan
without any preliminary settings necessary.

PROGRAMMED SCAN
(p. 43)
Repeatedly scans between
two user-programmed frequencies. Used for checking
for frequencies within a specified range such as repeater
output frequencies, etc.
5 pairs of scan edges are
available and scans 1A–1B
(P1), 2A–2B (P2), 3A–3B (P3),
4A–4B (P4), 5A–5B (P5).

■ About D-STAR system
In the D-STAR system, repeater linking via a 10 GHz band
backbone and internet network (gateway connection) capabilities are available. This system provides you to with much
wider coverage range during digital voice mode operation.
•D-STAR system outline
For current existing repeater operation, stations that are communicating must be in the same repeater’s operating area.
However, in the D-STAR system as in the illustration at left,
the repeaters can be linked via the system repeaters (with a
10 GHz signal). Thus stations A and B can communicate even
though they are in different repeater operating areas.
Also, the D-STAR system repeaters are connectable through
the internet network— gateway connection capability.
For example, when station B uses the gateway connection
station B can communicate with the station C!
By using the gateway connection, long distance communication like DX operation may be possible with 144 or 440 MHz
digital voice!
In the D-STAR system, an independent repeater’s operating
area is called an Area and a group that linking repeaters via a
10 GHz backbone is called a Zone.
NOTE: The digital repeater for ID-800H (144 MHz or 440
MHz of amateur radio band operation) is not available at
present of December 2004. It will be designed in the future.
About time-out timer function
The ID-800H has a time-out timer function for digital repeater operation. The timer limits a continuous transmission for approx. 10 min. Warning beeps will sound before
30 sec. (approx.) and just before the timer functioning.
