56 FT-8800R Operating Manual
The FT-8800R can be set up to operate as a full-featured cross-band repeater via a simple
Menu procedure. This feature is useful for emergency portable work in a remote area, and
for cross-band linking.
However, remember these points before using the cross-band repeater function:
Check the amateur radio rules and regulations for your country to ensure that this type
of operation is permitted.
Pick your frequency pair carefully, so as not to cause harmful interference to other
users. The use of cross-band repeaters has the potential to cause serious disruption of
communications circuits, and the creation of harmful interference to coordinated re-
peaters is inconsiderate and may be illegal! If you are not sure of active repeater fre-
quencies in your area, a safe rule is to stay off of the repeater sub-bands and use the FM
simplex portion of each band. Contact your area’s frequency coordinator for guidance.
Remember that the transmit duty cycle will be much higher during repeater service, so
we recommend that the transmit power level be set to a Low setting, to ensure cooler
operation.
Transceiver CTCSS settings (Encode/Decode) may, of course, be selected for each band,
allowing selective calling for your repeater. However, keep in mind that if the channels you
use are so busy as to motivate you toward CTCSS Decoding, you may not have chosen a
good frequency pair on which to operate, as the potential for interference to other users is
high.
Here is the procedure for setting up cross-band repeat operation:
1. Before enabling cross-band repeater operation, configure both band settings as desired,
and set the squelch such that background noise is silenced.
2. Press the

key momentarily to enter the Set mode.
3. Rotate the “Main” band DIAL knob to select Menu #45 (

5. Press the “Main” band DIAL knob again to activate the cross-band repeater mode.
6. To exit the cross-band repeater mode, Press the

key again.
